Lately, i'm lurking a lot in the SA forums, and they are of an unexpectable quality.

So, why are goons renowned shitposters everywhere else?

They have to put their thoughts somewhere and they get banned on SA for doing it there? I dunno really.

Their forums are very stricly moderated, not to mention you have to pay for your account so nobody wants to get banned.

Outside of it tough they are pretty much the biggest trolls around, even 4chan (who they dislike) doesn't often get close.
Generally speaking, if you are part of the forums they are a bunch of cool guys, often doing cool stuff (some of their projects are just awesome) and holding very good and mature discussions
But if you aren't part of that all you will see is trolls trolling everyone out there.

Gives a bit of a mixed opinion for me really, I like the forums side, but outside of that I can bearly stand them and tend to ignore them... like you should with trolls.

No way that they are capable of thinking before they post. I refuse to believe such an utterly baseless statement!

More seriously: Like everyone else I have trouble finding non-trolling posts by goons. Let me give an example:

OP: How do I do this? Can I get some help?

Goon: No.

OP: Why?

Goon: lol


I don't hate the goons for their in-game behavior - EVE is as EVE does - but due to their posting habits I can't help but look down on them as if they were mentally challenged and by evolution non-desirables.

Uhm, theres VERY strict rules on SA forums. and registered users has paid for their accounts.
So you don't shitpost to avoid getting your account banned and have to spend another 10$ to buy another.

Thats why theres such awesome posting over there, and forums like public, nearly unmoderated eveonline forums are so ****.

I had wondered why you left 0din, seeing as we are very closely allied to GSF I think I now know. There are two types of view basically, CFC from the outside, and CFC from the inside. From the outside you see what CFC wants you to see, you see what the hisec people and our enemies see.

Mijano, you were away from the game for 15 months then came back, I think you read alot of forums and sh!tposts here and decided that was the truth and couldnt stay... Its unfortunate you didnt stay long enough to understand and see the CFC from the inside.

The forums here are a wasteland of aweful poasting, one-upmanship and disinformation. You wont find real discussion, you will only see open hostility and propaganda, even I get invovled for the fun of it. The Eve-Os arnt Eve, and they dont actually reflect much of what goes on in game. Learn to see this place for what it is, if you want it to be anythign else you will be dissapointed. This is just another place for PVP in Eve Online.

Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing.

I thought these forums were posting latrines.

This post was loving crafted by a member of the Official GoonWaffe recruitment team. Improve the forums, support this idea: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&find=unread&t=345133

Uh friend... is it necessary to let the whole EVE-O forums read this?
