I'd say that Reddit is just as bad.

Terrible formatting.
Just as much circlejerking.
Different types of trolls and/or self-entitled whiners with their own agendas.
And most the damning; popularity is everything... even if the content is bad or misguided.



It is like asking "why is that other fast food joint so horrible?" while sitting inside a McDonald's.

Nothing to really see here.

I found it funny how many posters said the forums have a "no meanies" attitude/policy. I thought reddit was the circle jerk, not us.

With as much as the Devs post to Reddit (occasionally even talking there instead of here), it feels like it's two sides to the same coin. The EVE Forums have their set of drawbacks, while Reddit has its own drawbacks. Continuing Shah's fast food analogy, it's basically Burger King and McDonald's complaining about each other.

I would say its more the differance between drinking in a bar (with rules over priced booz and a bouncer) verses drinking in a bush with none of those things

Ska-roo REDDIT. Why are you there? Slumming?

We must accommodate the idiocracy.

You should go and "lock" the the thread for discussion of moderation.

Nah, WE shouldn't.

I'm curious to see how things will go.

Many Things That we, as ISD's Do is shrouded in secrecy. The whole program is almost never talked about in an official capacity and very few people know how we operate or what or why we do things as we have.

All members spend weeks with Veteran ISD members in coaching and training to properly moderate there given field. And even before this, All members are carefully vetted and Interviewed before they are even given the option of coming on the team.

I have personally spent many months training to work the help channels under senior guidance before I was finally allowed to be on my own. Or "Unleashed" as its referred too internally.

ISD, As an entity, is a vast program that works almost 100% behind the scenes. Rarely do people ever come in contact with us but we are still there, doing our due diligence silently under the hood. Because of this lack of Publicity many players see us only for the actions taken upon them, and in many cases this is because of Several heavy rule violations.

This isn't much in response to the outcrys of poor moderation or terrible policy's, but hopefully as time progresses ISD can be seen in a more positive light as we grow into a more transparent entity.

Sorry to interrupt the circlejerk here, but it's mostly because reddit has a downvote feature. GrrIGotGankedPost#347253 will never make it to the front page, leaving the front page for memes and real posts.
