Hey! Just because it takes two or three seconds to type each character on an iOS device doesn't mean the forums are script heavy. No, it just means you have more time to consider your words carefully Lol


Does that mean that if everybody was posting from an iOS device there would be less shitposting?

And yes why not bounty from forum.

Sure, why not.

Can we see number of posts from in-game? Likes received?

While changing the forums, I'd also like to see the Character Bazaar split into skillpoint ranges, or a better way to search for characters based on skillpoints. People aren't 100% consistent with the title of their post and so google is less efficient, and there's enough movement that you have to look through the first 6-8 pages daily. AND, eveboard doesn't sort by skillpoints either, that I know of.

We need to take this further...

Report shitposting alt, which helps others identify morons.

Dislike, seriously, and auto block for unpopular comments.

It's cute idea and seemingly harmless but I'd rather see CCP actually fix the forums. At the very least having posts turn up when they are posted and not at some random future time.

Call me easily pleased, but I'd be so happy if we could at least get a forum comparable to some of the worst freeware other forums out there.

It would be cool to place bounty through forums as long as the system is made in a way so that you can't accidentally place a bounty on someone because of a missclick / browser bug - lag. I would suggest the forum caracter sheet rather than beside the like button.

I'm against the "wanted" tag on the forums as we would all quickly have this said wanted tag.

I bet in a week "top 10 wanted" list will consist of forum troll alts only. Also forums will be even less active than now.

Yes. While I previously suggested that the bounty incurred for a given post should be shown, I now believe that this will lead to a lot of post blanking. But I should be able to click on the character name in the forums and add a bounty.

This if it happens would only prove how stupid some people on the forum are.

It's a cool idea and I would like for you to discuss its implementation!

Couple of concerns:

1. The main / alt priority
2. Utilising EVE-Gate's CSPA Charge system to tap your ISK wallet in-game whilst placing a legit bounty on the forum
3. Fictional bounties have an endless supply of ISK to be applied on a fourm.
4. Social segregation might lead to a lower forum response volume due to large groups placing 500 bounties on the newcomer.

1A. Main / alt priority - If the bounty works in-game it applies to the most active toon on the account - revealing the mains :P
2A. If using the EVE-Gate - Secure code forum-gate comms to prevent monitoring
3A. Fictional bounties - Forum allocations per month might be more favourable than accumulating "place bounty" rights by posting / receiving likes.
4A. Social segregation - limit the number of bounty clicks forum posters can receive


You'll do better in the Town Hall, just a couple of thoughts about it.

Good luck!

Why are you so concerned about mains versus forum alts? If a bounty is placed on a capsuleer who posts in Galnet, why wouldn't the bounty (in "real" in game ISK) be applied to that capsuleer?

And why limit the bounties that can be applied? Remember bounty payouts are already restricted to 20% of the value of a kill mail.

Can you explain your issue/idea with CSPA charges? Give a narrative perhaps, to clarify what you expect will happen?

Yes. People need to be punished for their bad posting, but the precedence of NPC corp alt posting would make this feature mostly useless.

Personally the only issue I see with that is that the system would be completely useless because the worst posters on the forum would would deserve a bounty on thier heads would enver really get it anyway. Adding the button would then pretty much be a waste of coder time. My expectation if it gets created is a bunch of goons would get a massive bounty because of the amount of idiots who hates them and a bunch of forum alts getting bounty because of the shitposting. The bounty on goons would be irrevelant because they are already live target where they live and the forum alt most likely never undocked and enver will thus putting the bounty in a black hole for no reason.

Perhaps bounty from the forum could be applied to all character from the same account? I would not really ahve a problem with that but I don't know other's perspective on it...

So anything that goes against your suggestion you consider trolling...?

No but you're obviously ignorant of the facts of what the CSM is for and what its job is, they're the pulse of the players, and the players use both the forums AND the game and have given CCP feedback in crafting the forums we now us (even if some of it is outright ignored).

Couple that with the fact that a 4 hour town hall meeting about what the CCP was doing in Iceland coming up that dealt with the "game" (of which your ignorance astounds, some of the greatest wars the game has ever seen were started on the forums, so the forums are a part of the GAME) and I would say yes, you are in fact trolling...poorly. Like really go check some of the people that are good at it, work on it, and get back to us.

EDIT: Also yes leme throw a bounty on from here, tia.

I can only imagine the hilarity that would ensue from a +bounty button.

Yes, please!

A button to add bounty? No
A display of current bounty under the portrait? Yes.

If people want to add bounties to the goon-alt-trolls they can do it in game and not have any misclicking/petitioning/technical complexity that comes with a button to place bounties.

We don't use alts to post, we use our mains. NPC corp alt posting is a pubbie thing.
