A cautionary note to over-zealous moderators.

I was subscribed to the Linux port request thread that some of you kept deleting posts from and have now locked. You need to realize that that thread wasn't just for people to +1 to, but also for the devs to eventually post on when any news about the port comes up. I would argue that is the biggest reason why most of us subscribe to, and often +1, those threads. As it is the most convenient way that we can be notified when there is any updates about the ports of games we care about while also showing our support and interest in such ports at the same time. Most of us don't have the time to keep checking up on the store pages of every game we are interested in a port of, so these threads help keep us informed of when there is work being done on a port and when the game is finally available.You shouldn't be using your mod privileges to abuse the community, as it just tarnishes the reputation of the company you claim to be helping through these misguided acts. While I was very interested in this game and had full intentions of buying it as soon as it was available for Linux, I now no longer know if I will be buying this game due to the actions of the mods in these forums. If the devs are fine with their mods treating us this way, it greatly diminishes my interst in supporting them regardless of my previous interest in their game.
