'Ban' on discussing weekly maintenance?

Having a look at today's maintenance announcement, and release notes, I noticed something that makes me go 'hmmm....'
The release notes thread, as usual, is not open for players to comment upon. Usually that was done in the sceduled maintenance thread. THAT, however, was locked right after posting.
Now, I know that often a lot of the comments were... let's say less than constructive. But I do wonder if this means that Cryptic is going to ban us from discussing the weekly release notes. After all, sometimes comments about bugs are never really acknowledged by the devs. Take the tray issue... I mean, YAY for a fix (here's hoping it's actually going to fix it), but that was never -really- acknowledged. Sure there was a thread asking for more examples, but it was never listed as a known issue, in all the months the bug has been around.
Sometimes things were discussed in the maintenance thread that, though valid, didn't quite fit into any other section or thread. Do we now think that that'll just go away? Or is this just a temporary thing that's part of the forum overhaul Cryptic is planning?
I'd like to get some input from other players, and devs.

Most comments I ever see on these threads have to do with b*tching about the changes which belong in feedback threads. I also see questions about why xyz bug wasn't addressed or not posted in the known issues and these should be put in the bug forums.

Joystick and Controller Support still hasn't been either fixed or even acknowledged
Indeed...give the masses no place to vent their ire, it gets diffused and so can be ignored

All I would say is if you want your issue to be taken seriously place it in the right place so the person who actually handles that issue can see it.

It seems like someone isn't in the office yet this morning or just forgot to unlock it. I think we shouldn't read too far into this.

I'm willing to believe that explanation for now.
if it's really censorship, I would not like that. Now, appointing that new guy, to communicate with us some more, THAT was a step in the right direction.
Let me break this down to you, weekly maintenece thread is composed of:
40% Bacon posts
20% Overlord Ba'al posts
15% Sth. is not fixed, Cryptic suxx0rz posts
10% Bickering between random 2 people
5% Worshiping Trendy
5% Genuine trolling
5% Serious and relevant replies
Now, in the new format at least the people that have something improtant to report as feedback are directed to relevant sections of the forums where their replies will matter more than being interrupted by miscellaneous types of bacon or how cool Ba'al was.
Seriously, if you want to discuss bacon just make a thread in Ten Forward and knock yourselves out, you don't need the weekly maintenence thread for that.
only reliable fix is a programmable controller. i have used same one for 3 yers now and its never failed to work. just take the games key map and program the actions you want to the controller how you like and be done with it .
hell i didn't even know they still made or sold controllers these days that were not programmable for the pc.
and thinking about it my son uses the same controller from his PS3 to play this game in space. all he did was remap the keys in the game assigning them to the game controller basically the exact bass ackwards thing i do with my programmable controller.
As you are complaining about me complainign about others complaining... :P
