Why Do We Even Have Forums?

Its no wonder why you prefer reddit then.

Here that would be an immediate ban, and if by a moderator as in this case, immediate dismissal.

I think you are stuck in 4chan “aussie mode”, except your posts arent even proper bants.

Im a Finn.

EBIN FAIL :DDDD
EMU GUCK :DDDD

See?
We all can do that.
Its just not fitting here.

Heh, the only reason reddit fanatics (you know who you are) continue to post here is to instigate forum flame wars and derail threads, hopefully getting them locked.

I dont care much for reddit, but at least its active, instead of just you and like 5 other posters shitting up threads from start to finish

seems to get you riled up enough

Lets be honest, we dont need posters from reddit when we have quality ones like the above already here

Everyone here can view your post history in your profile.

For claiming to be “Australian Excellence”, you rate about a 1/10 in quality bants, even by 4chan standards.

As I know other forums, at least half of posters in this thread would be banned elsewhere where I had really serious discussions. With these forums here CCP is not serious at all.

Start an official EVE reddit moderated by ISD and Community Support staff, if that is where players and Devs are

I DO like Reddit. I use it constantly. It should not be used for any official statements unless those statements are also made here.

I’ve seen upcoming game changes confirmed on Reddit but with no acknowledgment here, bug reports made on these forums going ignored but getting dev responses on Reddit, etc. It’s ridiculous.

The minute they do, r/EVE will be a ghost town and players will have chosen a new forum outlet. The whole point of reddit is CCP employees have no say on what gets posted. One reason you can get CCP attention there, they can’t just delete threads to hide fires.

They don’t delete threads to hide from controversy, they just ignore them.

Oh they do, I have had a detailed post on bumping deleted, when I detailed the impact of bumping to trick into duels on a sample of players when it showed an 80% attrition level, in other words they left the game. No they most definitely do not ignore controversial posts on this forum.

So this post is very valid:

But yeah this is true of Reddit

Though I often look at down voted stuff for that reason…

But player mods/admins can to hide fires they dont like, and stoke fires they do like.

See what I mean?

Current moderation on unifficial eve reddit, which players AND devs frequent and post on more than here, has a thread with a stickied 2 gold star post by a moderator that says “F*g”.

That alone disqualifies the current eve reddit as an official interface between CCP and players, pending atleast the removal of that post and dismissal of that mod.

Im not a SJW, but this is nonetheless 2018.
You cant say ■■■■ like this, especially as a mod, on a format/ownership that claims to deserve Devs attention more than the official and officially moderated forum we are engaging on here.

Its a PR disaster waiting to happen at the very least, and makes official foruns defunct

So… it’s a choice between ten no-lifers controlling a forum with their lightning reflexes over the thumb buttons or a couple of volunteers trying to enforce a restrictive set of posting rules.

Not much of a choice, if you ask me.

Except it is a more popular place for devs to reply to players, I wonder why :thinking:

Tell us why you think that is so.

Why do Devs prefer a player run/moderated format where “F*g” is a stickied 2 gold star post by a moderator, than the official ISD/Community Support staffed forum?

It’s an easier to use and more populated place than these forums.

Simple enough innit?

What is hard about using this forum?
Are Devs incapable of using it, whereas I use it just fine?

As to population, eve reddit has population that would and should be censored on any official platform. What is said on eve reddit would frequently ALSO not be allowed ingame, including the pinned 2 gold star comment by a moderator referred to above.

What?

Reddit is simply better in any way than the forums

Who cares if people call people names and stuff…
Just a bunch of SJW snowflakes that Cory (care**) about that kind of stupidity lol

Ive half a mind to start emailing screenshots of EVE TOS/EULA violating and forum rules non-compliant eve reddit posts (especially by moderators) to gaming and news media.

I dont care how, why and with whom a player-based eve reddit moderates itself, but I do care that CCP employees patron/endorse that by posting there.
