EVE General Discussion

Discussing bans and moderation is not allowed. In b4 the lock... irony :)

What Ptraci said...

Also, before it does get locked....

I for one welcome the moderation and would wish a lot more moderation would take place on the internet, until everyone who can not stop himself to post crap and behaving like the most indecent human beings finally is banned.

And before you throw one of the freedom of speech tantrums at me, freedom of speech is one thing, but using it as a justification to be a complete intolerant and offensive piece of **** or troll who has no interest in any serious conversation is nothing but misusing your freedom of speech and if you are unable to have a conversation without behaving like a complete ******* you might as well be gagged.

Now grab your pitchforks, I for one am being sickened by the behaviour of many people on the internet and think there is no other way to stop that kind of crap.

All those popular threads are in OOP section now.

agree with you OP!
it's so sad watching reddit being what this forum should be

#PeterPanForever


the CSM campaigns section is having a blast these days though :D so many trolls! i love it xD

You're right.
Freedom of speech is one thing. Censorship is another. You are supporting the restriction of speech on the grounds that some people may say something someone else won't like.
Who gets to decide what speech is intolerant, trolling, offensive, etc? You? Me?
On these forums it's neither of us. ISD is way too censor-happy with no review process. That's part of why forum traffic has migrated to r/eve. As an example, ISD went hogwild on the thread announcing the 118.6 changes. Every post accusing CCP's devs of incompetence when they threw out a year's worth of careful planning in favor of a rebalance they clearly spent a weekend on was removed by ISD citing the No Ranting rule.
Heaven forbid the dev teams aren't seen by the public as without criticism or fault.

The game may be a cold, dark dystopia where your feelings don't matter, but this place is something like The Glorious People's Republic of Hello Kitty Online by comparison.

Also, you're a totalitarian-enabling sheep.

It´s not so much about people saying things others do not like, it is the way they do it.

And yeah, sure I am a totalitarian-enabling sheep, who has taken part in several RL demonstrations last year and every other year where we were protesting against several decisions made by our government and who supports a lot of movements against the exploitation of our nature for the sake of financial profits.

I´d wager I do more to voice my opinion against our rulers than you do.

Nice try to put words in my mouth though.

edit (because you edited your post while I was typing this): I never said the process is perfect and I agree that some rules are taking it way too far, but in many cases I am not against a stricter moderation as way too often people are crossing a line that should not be crossed for the sake of fruitful discussion.

Yeah, on the surface it's ironic that the people who find their way to becoming community managers of a gaming forum as their life's calling don't really know or haven't put a lot of thought into what's behind healthy, fun, lively communities. But there's more to it

These people, these insidious so-called "community managers" try to create these sterile PC feelings first areas on the one hand because they think that attracts new players to the game

- this is wrong , new players are attracted by drama and intrigue and a lively community not the atmosphere of a stalinist daycare center like here

On the other hand they think the forums are there to serve as an interface between the community and the company

- this is not the point of the forums either, the forums are for players, CCP can ask us what we want here but it isn't the reason the forums exist

Alas, it's one of the eternal facts of nature that the parasite class (the ones who make their living feeding off the health of a body or community) are unable to change or see themselves with any bit of extrospection. They are fat and content sitting their collecting the life blood of the host in the form of the hourly wage, that's their true goal... not the community - and that's why things won't change or go back to the way they were. As long as their bosses don't pluck them out of their position they are content with a crippled hollow community. They (community managers and ISD) are like mosquitos feasting on a bedridden elderly person at a nursing home and that's how they should be seen.

Well, like the old saying. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

We need more dank memes about goons. that will boost views across the board.

Locked.
