> [@Arcelian](#): > > You know we can see your name at the top of every comment you make right? Is it because you want to be called the “Demon” but that’s not in your actual player name? The signature is the most boomer thing I’ve seen in a while. Heh, knew it wouldn’t take long for another one to jump in from the sideline, possibly an alt… Anyway, you’re either dense or just looking to troll, most likely both… First of all I don’t leave a signature and sign my name at the end of my replies… However I do leave my initials just to make it a bit more personal… Also if you actually read the forums, you’d know there’s other posters who do the same… Secondly it seems you don’t realize this game is actually an MMORPG… I doubt you’re smart enough to figure out what that means so I’ll tell you, it means ‘Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game’… I guess you’re oblivious to the fact that there’s an in-game event happening called ‘Crimson Harvest’ which basically celebrates the Holiday known as ‘Halloween’.. Obviously you’re not smart enough to realize I’m celebrating the ‘Crimson Harvest’ event and this ‘Halloween Holiday’ by having my character Role Play as a Demon… Lastly, I must say knowing that it bothers you so much definitely pleases me to no end… As such I’ll be doing it on every reply I post in these forums… Demon DMC 🤘🤣 🖕 ---

> [@Princess\_Rose\_Ivory](#): > > Discord. I went and checked official EVE Online discord server, and I can’t even post in channels I would like to use (e.g. market discussion). I scrolled through their Server Guide and Channels & Roles and no information on how I would get the role to post under relevant channels. Do I need to post 1000 nonsense posts a day in order to be able to get posting permissions there? Now _that_ would be annoying. ![Screenshot 2026-10-12 at 19.49.49](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/0/2/6/026d8f878b969aad228252ef45b8a1a7989e2ee2.png) On the forums you will lose your posting privileges when you repeatedly prove to be very annoying and/or abusive. On Discord, it seems you won’t even get posting privileges unless you do something first. I don’t know what that is, though. PS. I don’t need help on how to get posting privileges on EVE Discord channels. I don’t use Discord much, this was just to show I can’t even do the most basic things over there. ---

I’m not bothered by it, but you could own up to some of what you actually do. I don’t know why, but you’re very defensive lately. Gerard and others have been nothing but reasonable and simply pointed out some things when you’ve overreacted by either accusations or denying you did something.

I don’t use Discord much, this was just to show I can’t even do the most basic things over there. I use Discord on my friends channels, it all depends on how the channel owner sets up their channel. Other than just using Discord for group chat, I also share small files or links over it, knowing it won’t get deleted by the person who owns the channel. That is the only benefits I can list for Discord on its own. I cannot recommend X, Reddit, or Discord for games where the company owns the channels. As you stated above, we are required to jump through hoops getting approval. As long as you are a good doggy, boot kisser, or yes man, they will allow you to speak. Have fun! ---
