Beware those who are new to the game - many are banned and censored from the EVE ‘Official’ Discord which is moderated by random and biased individuals from all about the game with their own objectives!
For example, characater ‘Intigo’, a widespread moderator of EVE discord, will ban anyone for any oddly enough, discord among any members. This is despite the nature of conflict within EVE.
I was banned from EVE Solo when pointing out Intigo is not actually a solo player but moderating and dominating the discord for solo players, this is NOT healthy for the game. I was promptly banned.
I am far from an advocate for CCP maintaining control over all things knowing their resources, but CCP should maintain an OFFICIAL EVE discord where players can interact and ask questions just like in game channels without interference from player groups. It’s too easily interfered with and is a determent to the game.
No one here likes any other platform. If you use reddit, twitter, slack or discord, you’re a pleb that is supporting the destruction of society as we know it (that’s the general sense of the argument anyway).
This Discord isn’t a place for intel, it’s a place for discourse between all parties invested in a part of EVE Online. The fact that some are banned because they disagree with the moderators point of view is wrong and influencing on new players.
Is there anything left anymore that doesn’t boil down to “think of the children”?
There’s 2 laws of the forum:
Think of the children is the catch all reason for anything anyone wants, that’s actually all about them
Every thread is a ganking thread. The only difference is the good threads take a long time before ganking comes up and the bad threads are about ganking from the start
I’m drawing atttention to a platform a large amount of players use, and hopefully see this. EVEO Forums and in-game are not the only things they see and we should all be aware of that!
If you think the groupthink in a Discord group named 'Solo-PVP- is that you should join a null blob and defend yourself that way, then sure. The children are taken care of.
That’s a good description of the forum, only there’s two hives, one filled with bees and the other filled with wasps. The hives are always at each other’s throats.
But seriously, take every platform with a grain of salt. Login and go see for yourself. That’s the best way.
I think you misunderstand my intentions. While I do intend to call out the moderators of the discord… my main point is to dissuade EVE’ers from buying into the hive mind active in such discords and take such with a grain of salt. It’s much like watching a very biased news source and calling yourself ‘informed’.
Agreed, just sharing my own experiences. As an experienced Solo player, I was banned by a CODE. member who moderates a ‘Solo’ and ‘Faction Warfare’ channel. I would welcome anyone to debate me on how this is good for either of those gameplay’s or EVE in general.
