Clearly it would be better if there were 50,000 threads, one for each item in game, where buyers/sellers compete with each other on the same thread, and it is unclear when each individual buyer/seller on the thread is done with their transaction, and where we have 0.01 ISK wars and furious bumps and later-posters, even though who don’t have better rates, get transactions first, etc. This is particularly handy for items that are not commodities such as fitted ships and abyssal mods (“singular abyssal thread”) ---

Hijacking someone else’s for sale thread is akin to commenting on an ebay sale that you have the same item but cheaper. It’s not polite, and it’s against the rules. ---

EVE is EVE. I tested it just a week before. Log’t in in as an former NC lover and I just got smashed in game and online by the same old trolls. Not to mention that if you got hot, you got banned. Same old EVE. Actually, the forum mods will ban you if you try to hard mouth the idiots. I never was a NC nor a goon lover, I was a businessman. War is money. When the cash flow was broken, I had to quit. Good news, this is only a game. Also, trolls can be trolled. ---

The problem with the reddit site is it’s filled with the imbeciles whose posts used to heavily trash this forum.

So a discussion that is not possible here but at reddit because ‘unconviniend’ opinions will be flagged by people who are not able to discuss because ONLY THEIR opinion counts and nothing else and mods that only want peace and follow those flaggers without even READING the flagged post in context to what was said before,but simply delete it BECAUSE it was flagged is better? Well…if you say so… And i BET this,MY OPINION will be flagged and deleted also,because of ‘discussion of moderation’…but if it is it only confirms my words… ---

CCP does not own and operate /r/eve - the moderators/policies aren’t even the same - so there is no point in comparing forums to Reddit. And Barstorlode is the head of ISD (and all of CCL), so he calls the shots, but he’s also the most flexible and tolerant of all the ISDs. Whereas other ISDs have a short fuse and are rather inflexible when it comes to making swift decisions and closing threads, deleting posts, etc, he’s willing to bend and tolerate things to a far greater extent than others. > [@Darlo\_Kubika](#): > > And i BET this,MY OPINION will be flagged and deleted also,because of ‘discussion of moderation’…but if it is it only confirms my words… 🙄 Make sure to wear a tinfoil hat at all times and stop brushing your teeth with fluoride toothpaste to keep the corrupt oppressive CCP/ISD from controlling your mind as part of their authoritarian regime 🤪 ---

It isn’t blind trust if you have, like Archer and many others, actually engaged meaningfully with the ISD and had honest discussions about moderation practice _in the context of how the rules are being managed and applied_ (as opposed to jumping all over ISD for having moderated a specific thread, or yelling about a ban action, etc - which is what the rules disallow). The majority of moderation activity here is pruning off-topic posts that are derailing discussion, and closing threads that are purely rants (no discussion, simply yelling into the internet, which is not the purpose of this forum) - neither of which happens in large quantity. ‘Flagging’ posts isn’t being done by a moderator, it is your fellow forum goers who are objecting to your posts (or trolling you 🤷‍♀️) and has nothing to do with the state of moderation in the forum overall. Reddit has this functionality as well, so it certainly isn’t forum-centric.
