Hear that guys? Destiny Corrupted is a champion of the neo-**** cause.

"Berate" is probably not the right word for what you were trying to say.

Nice backseat-moderatin' skills by the way, bro.


Just like how you used the word "entitled" right?

I meant what I said. My condolences if you can't deal with the dirty plebs undeservingly wanting features that are below the refined tastes of a classy, upstanding netizen such as yourself.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

Don't you think you are getting a little too personal here?

You are begging ISDs to come here for moderation again.



P.S. ISD should move this post to "Suggestion Channel."

This thread makes the ISD cry. You want to have a party but they're not invited... they'd just make everyone drink prune juice and play bridge anyways. Straight

Did somebody mention walmart? I can think of worse things to do there...

Just don't send this thread to OOP, k? Maybe what this forum really needs is a tin foil hat section to dump various dumpable threads into and with auto-prune set. Bu-bye.

I'm in it for the money

Being entitled to provide feedback and make requests is different from being entitled to dictate policy.


That, as they say, is a distinction without a difference as feedback and requests are necessarily subordinate to policy.

You hold no entitlement whatsoever. Read the terms you agreed to when you registered. You're only here by the whim of the owners.

I find it a great idea. Go get yourself a domain, forum software and go ahead.

If you are talking about creating another sub forum here with no moderation, no.
These forums are created by a company and fall under their rules. Why would they then create a subsection of their forum that does not fall under their rules?

You are wrong. I have the entitlement to make use of the product I paid for, as long as I don't break the EULA. After eight years, I'm still around, despite costing the company literally hundreds of subscriptions (in fact, I've had people tell me they would put my name into the "reason" box). So yes, some entitlements certainly exist. I know you might be averse to the word itself due to the mental image of people rioting on the streets for free stuff from the government, but many words have multiple meanings.

And the owners are only here by the whim of their patrons, by the way. It goes both ways.

What I did is minor compared to some other people I know. Also I say "I" but it's really a case of corporate effort. I have a bunch of notepad files with dozens of ragequit chats. You really think people quitting after losing their first missioning Raven is a myth?

Why have that forum section here? Because people post with their actual in-game characters. It would be impossible to incorporate that feature into an outside forum in a reliable manner.


Thank god CCP hasn't released the limited API for players to use to register on offsite forums:P

I will be very clear and polite about this. Open discussion about things like this are fine, most people seem to be staying polite and are just voicing their opinions, which is great.

What is not great, is against the rules and will not be tolerated is comparing CCP or the ISD to the massacre of Jewish people in the Holocaust. I don't think I should have to explain why that is wrong. Anyone caught doing that again will be at risk of a forum warning and/or a permanent revocation of their forum access. If you want to debate this matter, then so be it, but please have some respect for yourselves and other forum users and post decently and sensibly- ISD Type40.

This is an example of what I think some people are upset about. An ISD can arbitrarily draw a line in the sand in order to flex his epeen or promote his own agenda.

For instance this ISD may be (for the sake of argument let's assume) a member of the JDIF.

He's now outlawed talk of a controversial event in his people's past from over 70 years ago.

What's the deal with that?

(edit: I'm allowed to talk about this because I'm jewish and it's anti-semetic to ban me from it)

I believe this is the answer you seek

Since this thread has done on for quite long enough without a reolution, let me clear it up once and for all before it gets locked. You can see this thread for a reference:

Ok, here is what I will say about the use of 'Jewgold', Jewing' and other terms of that nature. They don't add anything of value to a discussion. The very terminology is offensive to many and completely unnecessary. There are many of our players who are Jewish and they should not be subjected to phrasing which makes them and others feel uncomfortable.



Can be found here. I hope that clears that up for you - ISD Type40.

Please keep the thread on topic. Discussion of religion is not allowed, it only ever leads to arguments.

1: We have VERY tolerant moderators on this forum. Perhaps that is the problem, as that makes it a little harder to distinguish when you have "crossed the line".

2: PRIVATELY OWNED message board that has a content rating that they need to occasionally abide by as it is their face to the general public. This means that "Freedom of Speech" is a privilege here, not a right. Abuse it and lose it.

3: I have yet to see a thread locked that a reasonable argument could not be made for locking.

4: There are already unaffiliated message boards created for the sole purpose of avoiding moderation.

5: Different rules apply in game vs. on the boards. This is not a difficult concept.

6: One of the more pointless threads I've ever read.

No, just being an adult that has been to other, far more strict, game related message boards.

Why should I audition when the staff they have are doing fine.

Perhaps you should stop by the World of Tanks message boards and make a few snide comments. See how many you get away with before being perma banned.
