I have seen this type of sub forum on other forums and I really believe it would benefit our community;
The Moan Zone
I don't think I need to explain myself further.

Moved to the correct forum 
Thanks Ian for moving my post, now nobody will ever see it unlike the endless reams of moaning and whining on the main forum.
Do you not think that would make the rest of the forum just look deserted?
While I love the idea of a 'Moan Zone' sub-forum, you know no-one will willingly post into it.
.
I expect most people that you accuse of moaning believe they are providing a major insight into how the game development should go to avoid the game sinking into obscurity and are amazed that there are other players that just don't understand the purity and accuracy of their insights.
.
I loved the recent series of 'Open Letters' to demonstrate that their post is far more important than other posts and invariably go on demand feature X must be implemented before the end of the month or the game will fail and anyone that disagrees is simply wrong with no form of cogent argument being required.
.
The current thread from the supreme fleet commander is pretty entertaining too with all the carefully couched comments trying to avoid moderation.

This will never happen for one simple reason - what kind of game developer wants an area of their official forum dedicated to negative feedback/criticism? What kind of message does that send to potential buyers?
Really? On an official game forum?

On other forums... I never said game forum.
For example a music production forum I sometimes frequent has one.
To be honest it doesn't stop all the moaning but might help keep the main forum legible.

Classic! I had no idea, thanks Marak!

No, possibly more perversely, I like the moan threads. I like the whole 'From gods mouth to me (the OP) to you (the forumites)' attitude of the original posts, to the clear surprise of the OP when they are not universally applauded for their incredible insights into how we all feel about the game.
.
The responses we get to explain how we few who actually like the way things are developing are simply wrong and that we cannot possibly be enjoying anything about this completely broken game really make me smile.
The best part is when they can't stop playing the so broken game they want to change.. Sometimes I give them 2 or 3 weeks, but here they are yet, bored, playing a broken game that was doomed and hit by the sales of the not-yet-arrived Christmas.
How do we enjoy a broken game and do they play without enjoying is material for a psychology book.

Hi Ian, so as this is turning into a discussion, can it be moved back into the main forum?

Sure
There's only one problem with that, Brett C (and I'm pretty sure it would be his decision) might not see it.
Not a bad idea this.
If we had a "The Moan Zone" the moderators would have a place to move all those "Moan" threads.
Kind of like your Recycle Bin on your Windows desktop...

It's fine, I'm not going to get funny about it.
I am just encouraging the discussion on this point. I would like a healthy forum to peruse whilst exploring the cosmos and every time I visit the top 5 posts are moaning.
9 weeks game play and I still love this game and want to see it and it's communities flourish.
