So why is eve so outstanding in its toxic community ? Because Care Bears keep coming to the game and when they get killed they weep on the forums on try to change it into something it is not. Go the fk away. ---

It’s the forums, mostly. Most of the people here don’t ever undock and spend the majority of their time spewing insults or promising that this will be the time they actually do unsub when CCP does something or other. People in the actual game are generally nicer than other communities. ---

> [@AbuJana\_Ohu](#): > > I have read through several threads now and I don’t know but can only see same toxic people writing almost fashistic (?!) hate messages without even trying to help players. The main reason - quite a while ago CCP abandoned their own Official Forums. They stopped enforcing the Forum Rules and basically gave everybody a free pass to be as crappy as they can be towards other posters. ---

> [@Anderson\_Geten](#): > > Most people that are toxic on the forum, are actually suffering deeply IRL. That’s why you must never tell them, because that would hurt them more. They are trapped inside their suffering brain and so need to try to hurt other people. > Why is there so many toxic on the forum ? Well mostly because moderators don’t ban people who don’t obey the forum rules. That is, there is no moderation on the forum. Always talking about yourself. It’s not polite Andersen. ---

My, my…you are salty that your recent post about how carriers must be weak and worthless because you weren’t able to kill an afk ishtar with your ratting carrier wasn’t well received by the community aren’t you. That many of your past postings also haven’t been well received must mean the problem is others as there is absolutely no possibility it could have anything at all to do with you… Beast, ol’ buddy ol’ pal - you have no room to accuse others of being toxic when you yourself spew more toxic crap than frakking an underground nuclear waste dump. ---
