I'm not getting it. What exactly is able to be posted in this forum? It appears i've struck a nerve and now anything I post is removed. Yet slurs, snide remarks and general harassment isn't. Enlighten me, what qualifies as a general discussion of EVE?

Greetings capsuleer,

Your original discussion on the influence of Local was moved to Features and Ideas. You then spammed the forum by repeating the topic, despite having them locked. Admittedly, capsuleer Crimson, Lord Zim and Cutter was instrumental in getting one of those threads locked, but as capsuleer Crimson has said:

Now when I see it getting out of hand, I'll post a reminder to those involved and if continued, will just issue 'Report Cards'.


He is a stickler for the forum rules and you should listen to him. What the owners of this board says is what the rules are. And these rules have determined that your discussion should go to Features and Ideas and that repeated occurences of that topic will be locked.

I am correct in this, am I not capsuleer Crimson?

Obviously your piercing insight has ruffled the feathers of Goonswarm and their dev cronies. It's only a matter of time now before the entire playerbase rises up behind you as one and we take this game back from those who have stolen it from us.

Sounds like a topic for general discussion.

It could be that your reposting of locked threads and opening threads questioning the competence of moderators has flagged you as a troublecauser and they're just watching you more closely than the troll hordes.

I get banned after one thread about a **** fit hulk about a month or two ago, after I got a warning in march of last year or something like that. This guy can go forever.

I see how this system is completely fair.

Maybe because every time you create a thread it is about the same subject ?

Actually, the timeline is, he started a thread about removing local in GD, it went on and on and on for a long time, was moved to F&I, he then opened a thread in GD asking why the thread was moved, it was locked for discussing moderation, he started another thread where the OP was just a bunch of "fill in the blanks" sentences, that got locked and he started a new thread within 10 minutes with the exact same first post, only a different subject, which promptly got locked for being a duplicate of a locked thread.

And now we're here.

In that case, I'm surprised he hasn't been banned yet. The moderators are being very restrained.

They fear to create a martyr out of this brave forum hero. They know gagging him will only confirm the righteousness of his cause and the truth of his speech.

i luld a bit there 8)

i been playing eve for some years now, and eve-forums always been a place to get info, hints, gossip and rumors

nowadays its pure shiat - ccp should be ashamed of these forums, just imagine a new player checks the forums before subscribing - byebye

only hatin and flaming goin on, every try of constuctive posts is ruined by horde of ppl hunting +1 posts or just writing shiat or flames

moderation is not really happening

considering a official forum is kind of a business card for eve towards new players and honestly its nothing ccp can be proud of, it was good, well maybe not good but way better, some years ago but nowadays its a cesspool of hate
