Content creators at work.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe. The whole front page of GD locked and half of the next.

The troll's burden is an arduous one, but we bear it well. Bear

Also: 50/50 This thread gets a lock.

Trying to make a point about GD being full of locked threads by making a thread that will soon be joining them.




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Trolls on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched threadnaughts glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those... threads... will be lost in time, like [small cough] tears... in... rain. Time... to lock...

That people are passionate about this game to the extent that we are isn't a bad thing.

GD is part of the game and provides an opportunity to express ourselves, even if what we want to express is against the rules. That's part of the good moderation of the ISDs, who just lock threads and don't wield the ban hammer through the Devs.

They recognise that these things are going to happen and generally take a measured approach to controlling it while still providing somewhere for people to vent.

Its going to happen and its nothing bad. It's certainly not a sign that there is anything wrong with GD (I think thats what you were trying to imply). Working as intended and it rubs all ways. Everyone no matter what their beliefs about the game approaches GD the same way.

I enjoy it here because of that. It has all extremes in opinion and they're all worth reading.

At least the devs bother to reply here, with some humour. Sometimes :P

Go run a corp/alliance/coalition forum or mygawd a mailing list and watch in disbelief (and try supressing that glee)

OHNO YOU DINT, omfg you did - k i'll just mute comms for a year or so until I've finished laughing brb >.>

Really, if the issue is drawing this much backlash, maybe there should be some moderation, or even further rule discussion space allotted here.

I implied nothing. What you take away is entirely up to you. Much like anyone admiring a great work of art.

IBTL Given that asking questions about the UI is trolling now

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit.

How long till making a new thread is trolling and it just autolocks?

Frankly I find it just stupid a great deal of the time.

So many threads locked because of really poor application of the rules...

It's not a backlash, it's just we can't stop laughing and patting each other affectionately. There's nothing wrong with that! For laughing together. Clear your derty minds. It'll stop soon, and tbh I think IZ was enjoying it equally anyway. I for one, will enjoy his glorious return and terrorise anyone who harrases him. Only needed to ask in the first place. I was going to send an alt to terrorise him too but couldn't be arsed.

Anyway my thread beat all of yours, because I didn't get locked, and and pulled in the queue. That's right trout pout selfiers. Anyway if anyone wants to endorse my reign of terror post helpful tips here. There's room for all the ISD team in my corner, and a rabble of various slappers, provided they do exactly as told. I get to be ontop tho. Sorry Eshtir, rping is demanding, but I don't mind flipping a coin sometimes for fun.

Counts. You put in bids and you can have them back if you're a sore loser :P

I'm sorry, but your post is off topic.

This is a GD thread about GD and locked GD threads. I'm afraid you'll have to make your own GD thread about GD threads moved to F&I. God I'm surprised this thread hasn't been locked due to lack of content.
