Unironically this.

E: They need to be able to post in the character trades forum too because of the rules regarding character trading.

Yeah, I had forgotten about that. Haven't sold a character in a while.

I also just realized that my other suggestion, with regards to making one man posting corps, has some interesting implications. If you fix dec dodging, then the 1 man posting corps can still be wardecced for badposting, right?

In which case, we have made "forum warrior" a very real thing.

Says the character who is in NPC corp.

Roll

Anyway, in answer to your thread title and original post :

NO, it takes away the players freedom of choice.

What exactly prevent the creation of "shitpoasting" corp entirely made out of forum alts?

Can you actually read, or are you a bot?

I said as much, on 2 separate posts. If they have to make character corps to post, and if wardecs are fixed to get rid of dec dodging.... follow the train of thought yet?

Wardecs have no effect on alts who exist purely for the forums. They never undock and may well wear those wardecs as badges of honor for having conned someone into throwing away the 50 mill.

How much do you think I would care if you were to dec the corp of character X I would of created specifically just to post and letting said character idle in a corp I created specifically for him under the name of "Shitposters Inc."? How much will it add consequence to my shitpoasting if I can dodge the consequence anyway becausae this game is a paradise of alts? I only have 1 active character which mean I could even create the corp "Shitpoasters'R'Us" for the last slot on my account and have you wardec 2 empty shells.

What if then I decided I want people to waste ISK and made a thread on GD about accepting all shitpoasting alts into my corp just to make the dec cost potentially go higher?

How many consequence would I be dealing with since I would never EVER log on to this character except to click whatever utton is needed to accept all the future posting alts?

And that's two people who don't get the joke yet.

Anyway, despite my apparent inability to make a pun on "forum warrior", I still believe the benefits of prohibiting NPC Corp players from posting would be immense.

Easily circumvented? Yes. But that would be some *effort*, which ought to cut down on some of it.

In the case of genuine forums alts we're talking about people who went through character creation just to be able to post anonymously. I'm not sure 1 more very minor hurdle will change that. It will just provide the new baseline that NPC alt posters will move to.

As to the forum warrior joke, again, not fighting any more than now, so I'm not sure how that really works.

That, or 3 posts before yours above is where I mention the pun.

lol .. so people will just create one man corp forum alts ... how does that solve anything

Maybe we could have it than you can only post in GD if member of a corp with more than 15 members aligned with a major alliance :d



Or we could nuke GD from orbit and solve all the problems.
