Just use common sense

We're not going to draw you a map of every spot where you can possibly strand. But you're welcome to brave the waters if you wish

But it's not complicated anyway. Just use common sense and don't intentionally or maliciously make up stuff about others and you'll be fine. There is life after slander, kids!

Isn't it libel when it's written?

Uh oh, I think Guard broke the rules!

I'll probably have to do a banhammer hara-kiri or something :/

So, there are no real boundaries, just rules.

With respect - what's a "strand?"

How will you determine if someone has made up "stuff" or they are just reporting what they have been told in some other forum, chat channel etc?

Who is being slandered?

Just use common sense

This is not the forum for common sense and any posts in reference to common sense belong anywhere but here. This is evident in the same old tired arguments and redundant threads being posted over and over again. A lack of common sense seems to be a prerequisite for posting in GD.

I just want to point out that CCP Guard also broke the rules of keeping stuff relevant to EVE on this forum as he is discussing Epistemology, not EVE.

Where's the line guys?

P.s. I was referring to the stranding of ships and being all metaphorical and stuff :)

I believe he also made a insensitive post about suicide

way to lead by example guys

Stuff you can prove with links, pictures etc.

Esp. the one obout the post-coitus pillow talk.

I think he would need a girlfriend. the right hand does not count

He used the left hand, so he can safely think and be convinced it's someone else

Also: plastic leviatans might have same drawbacks for ladies, heh?

Is this how paying customers are treated?

I'll unsub all my accounts if I can't shitpoast on a forum section named General Trolling.

This part of the forums is specifically meant for people to have a place where we can insult each others stupidest ideas, and spice the insults with ad hominems, off-topic tinfoilery and metagame persuasion propaganda.

There are plenty of other, categorized sections where we can post factual posts and have real discussions about the game- General Trolling is not the place for such posts.

Some of us have determined that common sense is not so common as has been shown in the some 30 pages of the define rookie thread.

That thread's problem is analogous to an unwillingness to define "post" or "forum." Not an issue with figuring out what "trolling" means.

Define Trolling.

Just like with "messing with" in the other thread. "Trolling" works well as a vaguely defined term.

Exactly. CCP may have a currently riding definition of trolling on the rules page but how often are we accused of being a troll simply for disagreeing with somebody. Where is line drawn when defining troll.

I don't care. The penalty for trolling is a locked thread.

You're trying to use a bad analogy to shoehorn this into a different argument.

The analogy that's sensible:
Forums(location): Do not "troll(action)" "threads(class)".
Newbie systems(location): Do not "mess with(action)" "newbies(class)"

Trolling is to Mess with as Threads is to Nebies.

Trolling is Vaguely defined, Mess with is vaguely defined. These are both fine.

Threads is precisely defined and obvious to everyone, Newbies is not. That is the problem area.

You're trying to equate an action with a class.

So are we talking here?

...

What happens if you post something you believe to be true, but is based on crap?

...

You graduate to elite GD forum poster.

CCP- Why were the new rules in regards to the forum that came out last week, not actually announced on the forums?

SHHHHH! its a secret!!
Actually in the immortal words of some guy in a galaxy far far far away.....ITS A TRAP

We are sick and tired of making rules, because tbqh we don't really think about the rules we make and then when you guys invariably find a way around them we look bad when we strike you down CONCORD style. Thus, we've re-written the rules so that anything you do is potentially bannable. In this way, we can arbitrarily guide the game and your behavior where we would like it to go, and if there's a problem, we can point to the door with one hand while pointing at these awesome new rules with the other!

Yay, what I did to Mitnal would've gotten me banned now. Thankfully due to the international rules of ex post facto I can't be prosecuted

Though I'm still not allowed to have forum sig

CCP's not bound by any laws regarding Ex Post Facto punishments, because it's a private corporation, running a private board, and thus can't really be bound to prohibitions that target countries.

... Or Has CCP gone ahead and just bought Iceland yet? Those crazy Vikings.

The word of God.

It might be just another rule that has infinite interpretations so as to allow the mods a greater flexibility of discretion.
