EVE General Discussion

Where did anyone claim otherwise? We're just calling out ISD Eshtir on his insistance that a spade is, in fact, a fork.

Moderate what needs moderated and quit the bull snipping that makes the ability to follow a thread impossible. Wind ur neck in from ur newly found powertrip and do your job. All i see is CENSORING and removing ppls freedom of speech.

Also might make it easier if there was a wiki link with stuff we actually are allowed to discuss on here. Just read those rules and they are a joke, posting a wiki with what we are allowed to talk about would only take up 1/4 of the page. I'll copy a definition of forum from a dictionary

- forum [ˈfɔːrəm]
n pl -rums, -ra [-rə]
1. a meeting or assembly for the open discussion of subjects of public interest
2. a medium for open discussion, such as a magazine
3. a public meeting place for open discussion

Maybe renaming this to a message board instead of a forum would be a better idea because u meet none of the criteria above ccp

Just do what I do, when that happens. Tell yourself the players just don't deserve to hear what you have to offer. They just aren't grown up enough, or just enjoy childish endeavors too much still. (Helps explain the threads about avatars)

Also try to look at the bright side of things more often. Why just this evening, ISD, inspired me to start adding rumor mongering to my repertoire. That is something, I thought I never would be. It is indeed a sandbox now, it is indeed a sandbox.

For example in my last post which I was being a terrible troll, and doing rumour mongering. I linked this article.

About growing up

Which is an interviewish article with CCP saying, how them growing up helped them handle their problems better with dealing with the community. Perhaps we too should learn from this, and grow up a little bit. But First I practice or hopefully attempt to learn new skills, then I shall ride the train of maturity till the tracks end.

Just for the record, I would like to add that the CCL team is watched very closely by CCP and if/when required, CCP will intervene should they feel it necessary, this includes speaking with CCL members IF they should step over the line. We do not have free reign on the forums to moderate threads as we please. CCP has laid down strict rules and policies that all ISD members agreed to follow and uphold when they volunteered to join the program, this includes having our main characters closely monitored by CCP for any hint of foul play or breach of the rules. We are governed by exactly the same rules as everyone else.

Like you, we love the game and love the community. We are trying to do our part to make it better for everyone.

To some pilots, it may seem like we are just abusing our 'powers' and editing threads/posts as we see fit. This is not the case and could not be further from the truth.

EVE Online has a PEGI 12 rating, and as such, CCP have a legal obligation to ensure that any content contained within the game (forums/website included) is suitable for persons aged as young as 12 years old. EVE provides a great opportunity for families to enjoy the game and above all else, EVE Online provides an escape from all the stresses that RL throws at us. Why would you want to come home after a long day at the office, just to sign onto the forums to read a bunch of threads that seem to represent your day at the office.

Come home, UNPLUG from the hectic day, and enjoy your evening blowing up space ships, or mining an asteroid belt with your corporation. Explore the depths of a wormhole you just discovered. Leave all the aggro and stress at the door.

The next time your post/thread is moderated. Take a good look at it and have a think about why it was moderated. How would others view it, would they be offended? Is it suitable for a 12 year old? Is it even understandable?

I hope I have been successful in defusing alot of the hate and misunderstanding toward the ISD's. Please take a moment to try and understand that what we are doing is for the benefit of the entire community. Even 12 year old Timmy who cannot wait to fly his first Falcon.

Fly safe and post smart!

The problem is CCP created a product that generally is stressful, difficult and hectic, they don't discourage suicide ganking for example which is lets face it only a means to annoy others, they encourage scamming and other anti-social activities, and have slogans like I said before "HTFU" do you consider this slogan appropriate for 12 year old players?

As I see it, this community is exactly what CCP fostered it to be, so did they make a mistake? Are the ISD a prelude to major game changes/company changes in the future to bring the game closer to the 12 year old rating?



I feel the opposite, In my office everyone is nice and polite because it's a proffesional prerequisite, I come to EVE because it is harsh and unforgiving, people in EVE may hate me and I may hate them but it's all in a sandbox where nobody gets hurt. If I don't want that in a game I would go play a different game.

I suppose the point I'm trying to make is, CCP need to settle on a direction before they can presume to tell there playerbase what that direction is, you cannot foster cruelty and then complain when people are cruel.

And thank you, good luck in your post as ISD.

My place or yours?

Ban all ISDs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer me this... I recetnly commented on a post about F2P inwhich I mentioned World Of Tanks and how much fun it is to play then I typed "W_O_P" with no space between letters which stands for World of Planes and guess what it was censored. Why was that censored on my post Im really curious. I understand some moderation but for crying out loud
