About 2 or so months ago we began to see a shift in the staff behavior on TMC. Is it your opinion that these changes are good or bad? This is in direct reference to two points:
- Large increase in banning players from the comments section - More direct and opinionated pieces by the site owner The Mittani

Considering what their comment section was like beforehand, I would say that is a net positive. They have mostly just banned obvious trolls and jackasses.
As for the second, every time he says anything, people cry about it in huge numbers. As someone who subsists largely off of tears, I also approve, even if I do not agree with much of what he says.
And lastly, in before lock, for whatever reason. I suspect derailment instantly. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

His website. He can post what he wants and block who he likes.
Don't like it. Don't read it.
Anyone would think The Mittani was an EvE God with some of the carry on about what he does.
He's just another player that has a successful blog. Go get your own and you too can do the same thing. Come Win At Eve - Join The Vendunari

If only these forums were as quick to ban idiotic posters posting dumb things, not unlike this very OP... |

I wish I can but I don't have my own legion of internet nerds who will follow me to burn all of CFC and/or VFK. Seriously that's all I see with all the grr goons crowd. As much as I stay away from nullsec in general it's ncie to read about them from time to time. |

As much as I stay away from nullsec in general it's ncie to read about them from time to time. All you need to do is make a few comments about nullsec being pure RMT, Mittens being akin to a real life Sith lord, Grath Telkin being a meanie poohead; throw in a blue doughnut here, a highsec needs income buffs there, and just like magic...nothing will change from what we have now. Lots of hurfblurf, but no one actually doing anything to attept to topple the evil nullsec emperors. |

Lol at this thready already..
it's the Mittani's site he can post what he wants..
In the end it is a lot better then most of the garbage that ends up on evenews24
But the change in the last few months has to do with the lack of large scale action happening in Null atm. Once things heat up once again you will see more of the older style pieces back up there |

A Mittani fanboi attempts to resurrect a clown. Pathetic, really. There he was with nothing to do. Lightbulb over the head! (ding!) "I think I'll post something on EVE's GD alluding to Mitt as some internet geographical feature!" Well done!
He is such a feature! He's the tip of the internet's pointy little head! It has one...as you might be aware...ahem. I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility toward every form of tyranny over the mind of man.-á |

Oh, and they need to vet their submissions column a bit better. Those last few have been atrocious. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Simples.
Quote:More direct and opinionated pieces by the site owner The Mittani Opinion pieces tend to be opinionated, and Mittens has diplomats for being subtle.
Quote:Is it your opinion that these changes are good or bad? Does point 1 help clean up the commenting community, or restrict otherwise valid comments? Does point 2 offer an increase in content, or do such opinions not belong on the site?
The changes are good, I've been moderated once on TMC, and they were right to delete the post. Only the truly terrible and persistent trolls get banned.
I think we will see an increase in content, Mittens has never shied from controversy. Some of his long standing guest writers positively revel in it. Never hold your farts in. They travel up your spine and into the brain, where they ferment. They then migrate to your keyboard via your fingers. That's where shiptoasts come from.

The Mittani has pretty much lost his mind. It seems he might suffer from some kind of bipolar disorder? This is no more evidenced by watching how he assigns respect to certain people. He uses the most arbitrary and immature of factors to determine if someone is deserved of the utmost respect or complete disrespect. Example: His response to Marlona Sky
I do like his rant articles, but the overall quality of the site is definitely going down. You cannot express any opinion that puts him or his alliance in a bad light, thus it's become a propaganda site more than an actual news site. I was actually banned myself about a month ago. A commenter used the word "gay" in a derogatory manner, at which point a moderator responded and asked him to please not use the word "gay" in a deragatory manner. The moderator was part of Goonswarm and the site itself is run by GSF's leaders, so I responded by saying, "You should clean up your own wiki first" followed by a few links to blatantly homophobic articles on their wiki. I was banned instantly.
None of this should be all that surprising. The Mittani decided, while sober, to create a powerpoint presentation for the sole purpose of humiliating a miner. He had days of sobriety to consider that decision, but he still decided to put it on a flash drive, fly a few thousand KM with it, and load it up into a computer to present. The vast, vast majority of this was done while completely sober and aware of his actions. Not surprising to see what happens on his website then. |

At least he apologized. I'd have just given you all a two finger salute while moonwalking out to serve out my ban. |

I can't support this enough. Damn it's been bad recently but at least they had the decency of killing the one about UK powergrid being the limiting factor and giving excuse for messing up that bad. |

Yeah, that one and this latest one, where he basically suggests a rehash of wormhole space, were the motivating factor in my post you quoted.
Idk if they are having trouble getting people to write submissions, or if they need filler that badly, or what. But whatever it is... yech. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."
