Start an unfounded rumour, whine about goons or threaten to post pics of the CCP dev team sober.

I always stay on topic. I remember this one time I were at the store and there were this feller I tell you what he were just out there in what he were tellin me. Anywho, he reminded me of this one feller I grew up with back in the day that I went to school with. Back then the classrooms were good and small so just about everyone knew everyone and we all kept in touch pretty well. Not like schools today that are all cramped and hard to deal with. Boy oh boy it were a privilege to go to school back then where I were from. It was wither that or workin on the farm and you got to remember that things were just as hard as thing are now if not worse.

- Love Grandpa Bill.

With a quick summary of what I've explained in detail before, unless it is a short response like this one.

Okay "friend", Here is something for you:

Quote:
6. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Corporation, faction and alliance members and other players are cautioned to avoid allowing “in character” disputes from becoming "out of character" personal attacks. The game is designed for role-playing and/or portraying a role and it is sometimes easy for tempers to flare when the lines between the virtual world and the real world are crossed. Please keep in-game disputes in the game and off the forum unless it is clearly a mutual, in-character exchange.


Due to this, i´ve fixed your post and reported you personal attack to superior authority.

Have a nice day
ISD Dosnix

To be fair the post was off topic.

While he was being in character, he should have tried just a bit to include a on topic message in his awesome character post.

He was giving an example of how you might get a post closed.

Holycrap, look who's started posting again.

All of my posts are short enough that the appropriate punctuation mark is sufficient to close them.

Post with your monkey.

Very true, and I'm glad of it. Edits (especially secret ones) are infuriating.

We have a button for that. Smile

On a more serious note, inactive threads get locked automatically after a certain period of time, or you can use the "Report post" button to ask us to close the thread that you started.
