That is something that will have to be decided, though honestly, if a silence/ban occurs, it’s for a reason. ---

> [@Nana\_Skalski](#): > > Seems some peeps were on a black list Yeah, It seemed like it. Pretty much all the outspoken posters. It started right after the PA purchase was announced. I always figured he was just trying to be a kiss-ass to keep his job. “Look at me, dear leader. I’m cleaning the riffraff out of our grand new forums.” Apparently it didn’t work. ---

I forgot who it was ( was it @Destiny_Corrupted ?) but someone asked for a forum category where we can all bitch and moan and dry-hump each other and Bartsorlode pretended he’ll look into it but in reality he is letting this thread become just that… he’d rather there be a singular thread to supervise instead of several in an entire subforum… Cat’s out of the bag 🐈🤪🔫 ---

Really? Abusing flagging is one of the major problems this forum has… Instead of making the effort of unflag 80-95% of all flags how about deleting this crappy system ccp? I mean if you already HAVE the effort of unflagging abused posts what hinders you in - i don’t know- actually moderating? ---

How can flagging be abusive if the person flagging genuinely believes a post breaks the rules? ---

I don’t like what he’s saying is not in the rules and the people flagging know it. But that is often why the post gets flagged. Though, to be fair, weaponizing the flagging mechanic doesn’t seem to be as prevalent as it used to be. Maybe the worst offenders got a little talkin’ to. Or they just got bored of doing it. vOv ---

> [@MB\_ThePhotographer](#): > > The forums “seem” to be a bit more friendly these days? I think the simpler answer is, that not much has happened on the forums recently. No new controversial threads to blow off steam in. I guess it’s time to make an alt and make another “eve is dying” thread. ---
