You cannot start a private message with another user on this forum. That is restricted to Forum Moderators and Administrators. You can always @mention a user name if you need to get someone’s attention. ---

Okay guess so. @CCP_Falcon, in response to your PM. I’m not being that guy. I want to talk about something, so I changed my topic to not break the forum rules. I am discussing the 2012 event, and it keeps getting locked for talking about player action. Which I am not talking about. I’m sorry if it’s something that means a lot to me, I don’t know why you don’t want me to talk about it other than it’s embarrassing for CCP. But embarrassment for CCP is not a reason to shut someone’s voice down. ---

I think the problem is, you are bringing up something from 5 years ago that was handled. The rules have been changed since then. These things happen. So to quote The Lion King, “it’s in the past, dont worry about it.” ---

Anddddd there is no forum rule that says you can’t talk about something from 5 years ago. ---

And sadly I know what is going to happen with this. Falcon will not respond. ISDs will not respond. Thread won’t get locked unless it derails really bad. They are just going to watch this thread and hope it goes away. They know they locked my thread because it’s bad publicity, even though it doesn’t break forum rules. But they just want it to die. ---

I still don’t understand how to reply to the forum PM though. There are just no buttons at all. ---

One technical question…are you accessing the forums through a mobile device or computer? I think the mobile forums are more limited than the PC site. ---
