2. Be respectful toward others at all times.

3. Ranting is prohibited.

4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

6. Racism and discrimination are prohibited.

7. Use of profanity is prohibited.

My comparison wasn't opinion based, but based upon the idea that when you said there should be forum restrictions like in game ones that you intended equivalency, which that was, rather than creating an arbitrary restriction point on the forums which in reality had no in game peer. I suppose it is rendered moot but that is because as stated, arbitrary break points are arbitrary. Still, that leaves the burden of proof on you.

So we come down to which is more important, content or numbers. I'd argue the nature of the game leans in the direction of content.

You haven't defined essential, but you called them essential. I sought to demonstrate that they don't fit the definition of the word from the standpoint of an individual player or the forums as a whole. I am aware of why you propose those sections, though that doesn't make them essential unless you are working under a different definition.

Actually no, I don't, not fully.

Particularly I find it odd that you would restrict a class of player from posting about the game in general and refining their views based upon high level community feedback, but for some reason expect that same person to be able to generate good suggestions for the game and give valid well reasoned feedback for proposed changes.

The rest I get, but that amounts to basically giving the finger to those who actually choose live in NPC corps since not a single other subforum you would allow is of any use to them.

This is my only character at the moment and it is in an NPC corp right now. So I suppose those like myself would suffer loss of privileges in order to curb the actual trolls?

We've been over it already but, the short of it is that its working as intended. Its not supposed to be a herculean effort and it worked for CAOD. This is only part of the solution not a silver bullet. It will accomplish its purpose which is reduction of trolling and improvement of forum quality.

it seams like no effort at all which is why I'm questioning if it work at all

That's for one subsection of the forums. CAOD just isn't worth any effort to post in.

if CAOD was applied to the whole forums it becomes worth the very little effort to put the alt in a corp. If the intent is to troll they will do it. What will be lost is the people who are not trolls and just like the NPC corp.
Hell this goes though I'll open my corp to allow applications , No tax all applications are approved. easy as pie. (I alone make this corp qualify for the 10 toon corp rule.)

Trolls will trolls. and I read the op it applies to 99% of the forums every thing but Q&A, F&I, the Bazaar and recruitment.
You claim that CAOD is better quality, no evidence of that.


from op: It is easily circumvented by players that wish to have a solo experience in EVE and wish to post via 10+ man corporations,

10 man isn't solo.

from op: It provides consequences/content for actions by exposing posters to retribution should their posts be deemed unpalatable by other players,

If someone's post is really that unpalatable that you want to take action it doesn't matter if they are an NPC corp or not.

from op: Leave newbies unaffected as they can still post questions, ideas and look for corporations

newer players are often posting more specific questions in the proper forums (skills, ships & mods and what not)
