EVE General Discussion

I can't disagree with the OP, regardless of his motivation for the post. I've seen plenty of good - if somewhat heated - discussion threads have half or more of their pages moderated out of existence by hamfisted ISDs.

This thread is going places.

your thead was a rant about forum moderation. what did you expect.

If u read all the rules, u will understand that the rules actually are made to revoke users rights to come With toughts, views and complains. Rarely will a post thats negative to CCP in general, stay open..... which Points out the problem within the forum.

in many eyes it was rant, but still it Points out a problem that most here dont care about, but is essential for free Speech.

I shitpost a lot but am still smart enough to know how to interpret the rules and am often left very surprised that I've gotten away with some of the cheeky stuff I've posted at times. Likewise with many, many posts and threads I see by others. So in my experience I have to completely disagree with you.

Personally I've found it's very common for people to be left wondering why their threads were closed on forums, even when a mod posts a reason. More than over-modding it's usually a case of users not fully understanding the rules or being able to apply them to their own posts to interpret why they were against the rules or just "delete-worthy" and once it's explained to them they usually come to agree. We can't mail ISDs here and talk with them, so that makes this part of communication between us very difficult. Our only option is the petitions and well ... yeah ...

Some days, like today (I did a 'woah' when I saw GD this morning) you see a lot of locked threads. It's easy to think that the forum has been over-modded, but the truth is that it's actually just been over-shat in by users that day.

Anyway.... inb4 etc


You have no rights, other than the ones you're given. Forums like this aren't a public place, they're private property basically. We agreed and digitally-signed our names in agreement of that when we began.

accordingly to the rules, u cant publishise mailreplies, but u can publishise what u Write. Tickets also falls under that rule, which actually leaves CCP defendless if a person wants to go Public With his replies. He/She can go Public With everything in a ticket, except the CCP response.... which creates a little fun aspect of it :D

you are soo thoroughly concussed by the wrong end of this particular stick that explaining it further would be a waste of both our time.

I, for one, find that the forum mods are wise, restrained, and sexually attractive. I don't even mind when ISD Ezwal snips curse words out of my sentences that have already been censored by the profanity filter.

U could try explain it from here to the moon and still not be able to change my point of view on this matter... and i love u still if u think im concussed ;D
