@Richard, I found the barge fairy tale thread where you have many posts - 11.4% of them - http://eve-search.com/stats/thread/137125-1 - but that's not the one I think?

I was talking about this: http://eve-search.com/stats/thread/80374-1

Forgot about the thread stats page, heh

Also imo the only super-frequent forum posters worth of note are:

Akita T for the extremely in depth, knowledgeable posts he/she could produce, often with some good numbers to back them up.
Malcanis for good posting and something I dare call "wisdom infused" in them.

Liang Nuren is OK too but is somewhat distant to the above two.

That's it.

Others like Tippia have huge quantiy (which for me is not a dignyfying factor at all) and can produce tons and tons of arguments for arguments sake but poor didactical value compared to Akita T.

Good qualities about super-frequent predictable posters like Tippia and Ruby Porto is their manipulation possibilities. IE Tippia basically auto-perma-arguments-bumped two patch speculation threads for me, Ruby Porto 1.

Your likes/post ratio is exceptional at 1.3839, and for a reason imho :)

Tippia: 0.3707 l/p
Malcanis 0.2180
Liang: 0.0934

I'm surprised that baltec1 is only ranked #45 @ 8261 posts, with a l/p of 0.2230

(personally very relieved that I'm not even in the top 1000, I still have a life \o/ )

Then I'd have to say the **** I post, and that'd tell me how ******** I sound.

Nope!

Not really, no. It's never for argument's sake GGv it's pretty much always about accuracy and about exposing the other party as an ignorant hack that has no arguments. It just takes a while to make them run the full circle and have them run out of evasion tactics.

Funny, I don't remember that. Which ones were those?

likes are an odd thing. my serious/helpful posts almost never get likes and my joke/troll posts get likes

Absolutely true, they are spacebook likes anyway. And just like on the failbook, people don't take anything seriously.

He chose to respond to you completely incorrect post (an ISD has never and could never ban anyone) to try to put you on the right track, and you chose to flame on like a moron.

Stop being a tool.

The ISDs are only human, and make mistakes sometimes. But they are doing a decent job of cleaning up the forums when needed (and helping out managing the various chat channels on TQ and Sisi).

If you want to be mad at someone for banning folks, at least get your facts straight. ONLY CCP can ban. And a large number of their bans are for good reason and occurred before the ISD were implemented.

In the future I think you should follow your own advice. I was responding to the OP that we've lost some great and prolific posters due to bad decisions and frankly awful moderation. It was on topic and your presence and post has de-railed the discussion. Thanks for that buddy :thumbsup:

What I noticed is, when I read a good, but long post, I simply forget to like it... most quickly liked posts are short and funny or otherwise "likable* in a way.

Holy crap, I used to (****)post a lot. I somehow ended up at # 189 all-time according to EVE Search. The crazy thing is that I've only posted occasionally for the last few years. I guess my first four years of horrible posting contained a larger volume of material than I thought.

Thread has been cleaned of trolling and off topic posts - ISD Type40.
