EVE General Discussion

Did your browser just eat your post?

Google Chrome by any chance?

Ah I see you retrieved it, good.

Yes, you may be right, maybe the staff have changed their habits, or maybe its just that less people are trashing the forums left right and centre and are now posting in just a few places, meaning less obvious instances of moderation? Though I do agree, things on both sides appear to be changing.

As for the list, if a customer has a complaint and wishes it solved, they must first be prepared to list those complaints in a well organised fashion, and as for adding suggestions for fixes well, that seems to be the attitude amongst most people who invest time and money in to something. They like to feel a part of things, and suggesting possible fixes is a part of that. Wouldn't you agree?

After all, we are supposed to be a community, that's what everyone keeps repeating in their complaints right? We are a community, respect the community, listen to the community? What sort of a community doesn't try to help fix itself if they think something is broken?

You realize you broke forums rule here, right?

There is no worse self-righteousness than that of moral hypocrite who exclaims and calls for the rules, and is unable to follow them himself.

What worries me is that his continued and repeated violations of the rules are:

1) Always accompanied with a clamor for the enforcement of rules.

2) Supported by CCP employees.

In effect, his continued presence without the enforcement of the rules essentially means that CCP's position is that people can violate forum rules repeatedly as long as they do so in expressing positions sympathetic to CCP employees. Someone needs to officially tell him I have raised him and his behavior twice in petitions with no apparent action or even acknowledgement from CCP.

It is a case in point of the "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes" issue.

On another note, I actually have seen an improvement on the moderation decisions and style of even the worse offenders. This is a good thing.

So one good and one bad. C'est la vie.

Indeed. I even gave a like to the ISD I was hating on before, because, well, he did it right.

They shot Grandpa Bill!

Isn't crossposting against the rules too?

Every post Granpa Bill has ever posted is off topic. I guess that's my biggest issue with this cowboy diplomacy. If the rules are indeterminant, then there will always inconsistent enforcement and the potential for bias. If you're unlucky enough to walk into the CCL line of fire, too bad. Sorry Bill.

There are so many negative influences in these forums and what are the CCLs worried about? A harmless troll who entertains consistently.

But who needs player-generated content on the forums? We've got rules. So I'd suggest you guys delete every post Grandpa Bill posts from now on. They'll all be off topic.

Yee-haw! You got a nudder un Tyrozan!

Mount it on da hood!

YK

Are ISD members able to delete posts as well as simply lock threads?


Saw one thread locked for "Excessive bumping" where the guy had bumped like clockwork, once every 24 hours, never on the same eve day.

The OP was the only person posting for the entire page, but that's just cause he sucked at selling and nobody posted on his thread.


Not the only one like this locked I have seen recently either.


would be explainable if the ISD member deleted all the posts besides the one per day, but I never knew they could selectively cherry pick out posts and delete them. Can they?
