I hope from now on everyone will abide to these simple rules. I hate it when hard-working, talented people have to threaten to leave because a few kids act like spoiled ungrateful brats.
If you really consider to stop modding because of some whining kids, maybe the internet is the wrong place for you. There are way too much of them here
The "rules" you stated aren't rules to me - I think of them as basic standards for human communication, or at least they should be.
But, just because some people (like me) state that they don't like a change in the mod does not mean that they don't appreciate the work at all. At such a point, more detailed criticism than "well I don't like it, looks strange" is not possible - you know, you see something you don't like, although you cannot really name what you don't like.
This is not "whining" or "complaining", but telling somebody what you like or don't like about a work he or she makes available to the public with the intent of letting other people enjoy it.
And especially if you have a forum on the net and a topic on it called "central suggestions", you should await positive AND negative responses on what you do - if you do not want to read such stuff, call it "The praising topic"

I'll go first.
First of all, LA Mod is one of the greatest EM4 mods out there, if not the best. Hoppah has made great work on making a fairly unique mod, and keeping it different from the other great mods. The new textures on many of the units in 1.5 did a huge change. I really love it. The charger is enough to write a paragraph consisting only of "<3"'s. I love the amount of units in your mod, though they might cause some problems on slower pcs, its really not any issue for me. They really makes setting up scenes alot more fun, and they enhance the gameplay greatly.
I really admire the time you have put in the mod, I've glanced at the scripts and models, and I really cant see how anyone has the time and patience to write all the scripts and do all the modeling and textureing, at least alone.
I'm really looking forward to the future releases of the LAMOD. I check the forums everyday for updates, and everytime there is one, I get more or less blown away.
Dont be shy now, write some positive feedback for Hoppah, the allmighty creator of LAMOD!

My wife bought emergency 4 for me when I came to visit her in Germany, because I told her I wanted to get this game. I bought EM4 because I know you were working on a mod for the game.
Ever time you release the mod I think there not much more you can do make it better. For example when version 1.4 came out I thought that there was no more room to make it better. But 1.5 proved that wrong.
I hope there be a future versions.

As to the other subjects, as someone who is around modders/content creators often, the response you gave is far too common. I hate to see people with talent stop making creations because they feel unappreciated. If you allow one or two people to knock you down then you care too much for your public and not enough for your enjoyment. The biggest reason to make this mod is so that you can spend 3, 4 or however many hours playing and having fun. Because when it comes down to it, your giving up your free time to do it so if you feel your time is better spent somewhere else then I say, enjoy yourself, but i would be sad to see you go.
All in All you probably have the most popular mod for EM4 and the number of regular posters here barely compares to the number of people who downloaded, played, enjoyed, but never logged into the forums (can't imagine why ) so keep on modding and i leave you with these quotes:
"Your talent determines what you can do. Your motivation determines how much you are willing to do. Your attitude determines how well you do it."
"No one can control your attitude but you. Yet too often we let other people or external circumstances determine how we feel."

I give hoop alotta credit for actually releasing his mod for one, and evolving it, there is always going to be this void between those who want realism and those who want fun entertaining gameplay... You as a modder cannot win in the end. I hope this puts and end to this, because several of the modders spoke their peace and I agree with them...
Take care, let it go..

Why do I get so much negative feedback EVERY TIME I make something realistic?
People are complaining about the white roof of the red ambulance, the silver roofs of the fire apparatus, too few fire stations, and now the lightbar? What's next? Sometimes, I think I should stop modding, leave this forum and never come back again.
That is because you can't please everyone in this world. I for one love that everything is realistic. That is what THIS MOD is about.
You do AWESOME work Hoppah and I truely appreciate it.

Well I did not see anyone laugh.
Just wonder would be ok to make such comments about something you worked hard on.

For all of you complaining about the arjent lightbar, heres a pic from todays car chase taken from a heli, to show that it really looks that silly.
Sorry to burst your buble but that is a vista light bar not arjent.

Oh sorry, they do look similar though, and they both look funny .
Also, I though the pepsi logo remark was funny. And it wasnt even negative feedback on the mod, it was ment for the lightbar itself.
