Something needs to be done about this issue. People can leave comments on the forum for LITTERALLY ever and you don't even know if the OP is at the keyboard ready to respond if you were to reply to their thread.
CCP could put a cap drain on posters to delurk them after a certain period of inactivity.
How am I supposed to post safely if I don't know who is around waiting to reply? (a¦á_a¦â) ~ It Takes a Million Years to Become Diamonds So Lets Just Burn Like Coal Until the Sky's Black ~ (a¦á_a¦â) |

I can confirm that I was not at my keyboard, but logged into the forums, until this very second.
OP is right. Such a powerful tool needs nerfing. Killboard

This is true, and someone needs to Nerf stargates, you know they take you to other systems on no fuel not charging fees? How is this possible. |

I can confirm that AFK players are indeed a threat. At the time I typed this post, there was no keyboard in front of me.
Actually, this is true. I post on forums at work using my phone, so there really wasn't a keyboard in front of me. Disclaimer: My opinion does not necessarily reflect that of my corp or alliance. My opinion is my own, and if you don't like, that is your problem. |

Would be nice to see some type of counter against this, maybe a new set of posting skills with some unique posting probes ? "PvE in EVE is a trap to turn you into PvP content, don't confuse it for actual gameplay." Lipbite |

Shouldn't there be at least some downside to posting and going AFK? "It's easy to speak for the silent majority. They rarely object to what you put into their mouths." -Abrazzar "the risk of having your day ruined by other people is the cornerstone with which EVE was built" -CCP Solomon |

Paikis wrote:This thread comes up on almost a weekly basis. In fact, I'd be surprised if there wasn't a nerf posting thread in the first 2 pages on this forum section. Almost every single one of them goes like this:
1. OP posts a post with a new (lol) idea that always boils down to some variation of the following: - "There's a big meanie who is sitting in my thread and not doing anything, but I don't know where he is and I can't ever just go to the next thread. I can't find said meanie and even though I know that he's probably at work and poses no threat at all, I wont do anything in my thread that I absolutely can't leave ever because he might not be at work and I might get trolled. CCP please stop the meanie from being able to do nothing to me because he's probably at work"
2. Shiptoast gets trolled because its been done literally to death. This horse has been beaten so hard and so often that it's little more than a memory of a memory of a red smear on the grass, and yet it STILL WONT DIE! In fact it's been done so many times that this particular horse is now undead; even if it does die, it will still be remembered and parodied.
3. Someone comes along and suggests that AFK posters can't hurt you, because they are, by their very definition, AFK. No one ever got trolled by someone who ISN'T AT THE KEYBOARD.
4. Someone else comes along and points out that while the poster might be AFK, he might not be, and so we have Schrodinger's Troll Post. The poster who might be AFK... but he might not be as well, and you will only know for sure when he trolls. (Yes, I know this isn't how the cat works)
5. Someone else comes along and suggests that you use NPC alt. Or man up and post on your main. Heaven forbid you have to actually fight to defend your ideas.
6. A further person comes along and suggests that the problem isn't posting AFK in your thread that you can't possibly leave ever, but that you KNOW that the person is AFK in your thread... and perhaps NPC alts should be removed and if you knew the troll was in your thread, you wouldn't be worried about shiptoasting.
7. Then another person pokes their head in and complains about something irrelevant, and IF YOU CHANGE IT THEN IM QUITTING FOREVER AND NO YOU CAN'T HAVE MY STUFF!
8. Someone asks if they can have 7's stuff.
Sorry, Paikis, for editing your post. I just couldn't resist. Disclaimer: My opinion does not necessarily reflect that of my corp or alliance. My opinion is my own, and if you don't like, that is your problem. |

I noticed this affects the WHOLE FORUM, and is not limited to a single system. Only MODs can do something against this.

I would weigh in on this, but I'm afraid that might break a rule CCP hasn't told anybody about and therefore get me banned.
So I won't. Everything in EVE is a trap. And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:) You want to know what immorality in EVE Online looks like? Look no further than Ripard "Jester" Teg.

You know what's worse? Forum cloaking. You don't know how many people are in the forums! I propose adding local to the forums. |
