The quality of the Eve Online forums hasn't been notable for being a particularly enlightened web community lately. To combat this, I would like to see the following rules added, and enforced.
- No one sentence replies or quips, regardless of how witty you think they are.
- Constructive commentary only. If the post does not contribute a point of conceivable value, it does not belong.
- Your forum account will be suspended for a week with your second offense.
Though this may be akin to asking a shark if you're bleeding, do you think that CCP should add these, or other rules, and enforce them with harsher penalties? |

If these forums weren't blatantly ******ed, all the idiocy would be in game.

The EVE forums have always been this way. The nuking of CRC didn't help much. Moderation these days is kind of hit and miss, although the staff mods are doing the best they can, I guess.
At least we've always got CAOD as a litmus test of when things really suck. ;)

The current rule structure was blogged about in December 2007 and can be found here.
If a person receives two warnings they will get a 14 day forum ban which is more than the original poster is asking for here.
Although I assume what the OP was driving for was harsher penalties for more "minor" offences. |

A Forum Moderator is something completely different from a Game Master, do not confuse the two.
And Funcom obviously get their lists of applicants from the suicide hot line for lonely men with no future. People Like Evelgrivion. |

Okay, I'm sorry. But that actually made me giggle a bit. On a serious note, I don't see why any of these changes are really necessary. I haven't noticed a rampancy of ****** posts. Actually, that's a lie. There are quite a few, but it doesn't bother me that much.
In addition, it would be EXTREMELY hard to moderate these boards with those rules in place- there would simply be too many offending posts.

Edited by: Evelgrivion on 20/08/2008 06:11:03 I suppose it's best to just let this die then. I forgot the cardinal rule of "know your audience" when I wrote the OP. Truth be told, I don't know the audience near well enough to create a thread in General Discussion that will generate any discussions worth seeing.
Moderators, feel free to lock the thread if you see fit. I don't think there is anything left worth saying that hasn't been said already. |

I would even go one step further and for repeated offences, the whole corp can get a temporary forum ban and in extreme cases, even a whole alliance and I would start with mod-nuking CAOD.
At the moment too many forum posters suffer from the delusion of thinking themselves as witty and funny. |

Mmm, quite. Your rules, taken literally, are a bit over the top of course, but at least some of us can appreciate the spirit behind them. I would rather see a harsh crackdown on personal attacks and insults to begin with though. Only later, once you've gotten rid of some of the worst cases, would I start the much more delicate....pruning of of trolls and thread derailment.
But I don't think you can achieve the results you want on a forum for EveO. Even on the forums for paradox games, where the games themselves remove almost all tl:dr people (not the case here), where something like 80% of the members have personality types normally only found in 2% of the populace (not the case here), *very* heavy moderation was needed to maintain some standards, along with a host of banned topics in their OT.
No, EveO is what it is. I guess you can't keep banning banning continually paying customers left and right, it would hurt the wallet. So, moar one liner poasting it is. |

Oh wow, this topic shows why the rules in the OP should be enforced and punished harshly, and so I agree with him. Some people in here merely reply to reply and make a poast, adding nothing of value. It's actually hard to find a 2 posts that were ment to add something. |

I agree, tougher rules on the forum. Some ideas:
# Posting obvious troll threads. # Flaming other posters. # FIRST! posts. # "This" posts. # "Fixed" posts. # Internet meme posts. # Whine threads.
All of the above should lead to permament bans. Yes, permament. One warning, followed by a permaban. You have the privilege to voice your opinion on this forum, not the right. Behave like a jerk, you get treated like one. CCP should grow some balls here. |

Oddly enough I agree with that, to some point at least.
However I also agree with the OP. I think most forums should be relativly troll free and such. Make some dedicated section where all the morons can have their playground, call it 'Flame Bazaar' or whatever. Because the forums often don't look good at all, which is actually bad for new players who get fubar'd or players looking for info to try out the game.
Above all I would like to see the removal of alt-posting. However what an epic whine fest that will gonna be
