Sorry if you feel offended and I must admit it was never my intention to downrate anyone not to rise anyone's reputation, but as you surely understand there are quite different qualities of members in a forum ranging for young enthusiasts over simple fan-boys over trolls to true specialists and experts.
As such if you have a claim that let's say, the J-20 is using a domestically built +240kN serial WS-15 from day one (aka January 20211) or that the JF-17 is powered by a secret Italian engine, then such claims have to be weighted differently than let's say a certain claim is made by @Quwa or @LKJ86? Or am I wrong?
I am sure that is the case. First of all, nobody here knows me. So that is a disadvantage!!
But when you running a forum, there should be same rules for everyone, irrespective.
The point is simple, if someone at least quote a source, that is subject to deletion but someone just say so, is fine!! I am sure, no forum can run on these principles. Too numerous incidents.
Few days ago I was given a soft warning for misleading title. Even though the news was genuine, the source was genuine. What happened that i wanted to paste the news from another Indian newspaper, but their page keep coming up with annoying popups, which was stopping me from copying the text.
I found the same news from another Indian newspaper site and posted that. But unfortunately forgot to change the title. Even though the title was similar, may be wording slightly different. But it was the same news.
Getting soft warnings for such thread baffles me. When as a matter of fact, I have quietly observed that there are many who start plenty of threads without any source. Some post pictures pretending that they got an exclusive picture of PAF jets etc. which proven to be old pictures.
But not to worry, as you have described , not "all men are equal" on this forum. I may get banned for writing it. so be it. @MastanKhan
