Many months ago, Caleb launched the scc-lounge as a place for general MD chit-chat.
This is the original thread: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=992318
The channel still exists today and is alive and well.
There has been a thread on the channel for quite some time. However, it is rather dated, and a fresh one to gather new interest certainly cannot hurt.
The scc-lounge is an incredibly relaxed channel that welcomes everyone. The channel is filled with helpful, friendly, and overall great individuals. It is made up of a diverse group, but typically filled with the kind of people you'd find in MD.
If you're a trader that is just starting out and have questions, feel free to pop in and ask. Plenty of people will be willing to help you out.
There is always some activity at any given time. The channel is lively, but more people are always welcome.
So what are you waiting for? Join us in the channel scc-lounge.
On top of the channel just being a great place to socialize, Caleb also runs a scholarship in his free time. This is basically an effort to help newer traders get some startup capital, and learn how to make good use of it.
The scholarship fund is entirely Caleb's thing, so I don't really have any current details on it. I'll talk with him more and see if we can start picking out more candidates and getting more trader's on their feet.
Everyone is welcome to join us. Feel free to pop in and say hello, you'll love it.

The last thing we need is someone like Riethe (a scammer) to promote SCC-Lounge. Someone needs to hand out channel Moderator status to some people.. -
Join the channel "SCC-Lounge" if you like talking about business and trade :)

I'm pretty sure Caleb just gave Riethe moderator status. This place is really going down the tubes lately.

Having Riethe onboard makes more sense in hindsight then investing in ricdic.. The world is not black and white, at least here you know you should not listen to much to his advice and dont give him your money. The term is rather old its "Caveat Emptor/buyer beware"
Just in to let ppl know the scholarship is still active, and applications should be send to [email protected] , I will be around for teaching people a few tricks and the ropes, and getting them into the mindset of trade.. Only serious applications please..

Following quotes just goes to show the thin basis on which Riethe was made a moderator.
You don't make somebody a moderator because they talk a lot of **** in a channel. You make them a moderator because they represent the channel and the people who chat there.
I haven't seen you around lately, Caleb. Where have you been?

I stopped looking at SCC after I banned Rawblood, only to have him unbanned and my moderator status removed without warning or reason.
The fact that Riethe got mod is further proof that SCC is now pretty much worthless as a trade-related channel.

Lets be fair. There's still the odd trade-related discussion.
But otherwise, I agree with above quote.
Oh, and remind me. Why was Rawblood banned? That might further prove your point

This isn't meant as a swipe at anyone.
The way the channel is now is not great for the big swinging diks to smoke cigars, sip whiskey, and plot big moves. It's a little too silly and unmoderated for that. However, it is a fun place to relax with other people who play in the markets a lot and have common interests. Most important though, it is still a very good resource for newer market players, as I see almost every question get answered politely and satisfactorily in a reasonable amount of time.
I personally would like to see more moderation, and I would probably move to a more serious trade channel if one was offered. However, newer market players should not be discouraged from using a good resource for them, which the channel, so far, remains.

The channel still has a reputation as the best one out there.
Why Caleb et al. now are letting Riethe use it as a main platform for social engineering and setting up his scams, is beyond my understanding.

There are indeed (were indeed?) trade related discussions up to when I stopped watching the channel, but they were rare and far between.
I banned Rawblood because he was immensely disruptive to the channel a lot of the time. He tends to talk incessantly, spam nonsense, and get into fights or arguments with people concerning material about which he is frequently incorrect. I'd been muting him off and on whenever he began to disrupt the channel too much or irritated too many people, each time for only half an hour. It should be noted that each time I muted him, whoever was active usually said 'thank god' or something similar. Finally, he started his own channel and started advertising for it in SCC, which was the last straw.

Jeez. This quote is fact that MD needs a relaxed channel to vent their frustrations.
Have you ever stopped to consider I am also a trader, and also interested in that aspect of EVE? How does this change the "trade" related aspects of the channel at all?
If you want a channel when you can force your militant opinions onto people and smite them down with wrath every time they disagree, and expect everyone to bow to your command, it's certainly not the place for you.
The moderation in the channel is incredibly lenient, and the majority of people like it that way.
Obviously you harbor feelings toward the channel because you were demodded. Apparently a lot of people were demodded, including Shar Tegral, for a gross misuse of their power.
If you're bitter about an incident that took place long ago, perhaps you should talk about it with someone that was involved rather than harboring this intense hatred for a channel and a group of people that are really great.
And I don't know why LVV has such a problem with this... He only comes in the channel to complain about things anyway. Lighten up and enjoy the atmosphere, it's filled with good people who haven't forgotten the bottom line of playing a video game: to have fun.
Swing your gigantic ego around on the forums all you'd like, but join the channel and relax with everyone and you'll find it quite comfortable and diverse.

The channel *was* relaxed before Caleb decided that he wanted to condone Riethe and put the channel at his will.

No one is at my will. What does this mean? It's been relaxed for as long as Companion Qube has been active.

I still find it pretty chill, but I have no history with Riethe.
Honestly, my only concern is new people who can use the channel not doing so.
And, like I said, if someone wants to set up a new one with proper moderation, I'll switch

I think anybody who has been in the lounge the last week can attest that this is pure spin.
Now let me be more explicit about what I'm getting at.
1. The channel has become a ****-hole. 2. The channel was relaxed enough before you came around. The channel used to be worth hanging out in. Now it's just scc-offtopic rather than scc-lounge 3. The fact that Caleb made you a moderator makes me question his trustworthiness.
I like the fact you try to support your argument by making others look like they are being tight-asses who can't just "relax". Maybe I should pull out some logs from this morning for everybody to see how 3 moderators spend their time making the channel worthless. It's good reading, include MOTD warfare, "lulz"-kicking and all good amounts of trolling.

And this is exactly what it comes down to.
By making Riethe a moderator, Caleb endorses and vouches for Riethe. If that's not the case, then it simply goes to show that Caleb has become apathetic towards the lounge, and doesn't care about it anymore

What does proper moderation mean? What's going on inside of scc that needs to be moderated?

You talk about spin and then write this?
1. I've never set a MOTD 2. I've never kicked anyone 3. The MOTD was only changed recently by Caleb 4. No one is kicked randomly for the laughs (Although Setrak was kicked by CQ because he asked to be, and CQ played along. That's the only instance I've witnessed.)
As far as trolling: Some of the regulars often joke with each other, I'm not sure how this is an issue? It's not like a new person joins the channel and is immediately beat to death and turned away.
So far the only people who have any problem with the way the channel is right now are the ones who whine and complain about everything in general as it is.
Can't you just let the theatrics go and enjoy yourself?

Originally by: Riethe What does proper moderation mean? What's going on inside of scc that needs to be moderated?
Scamming, begging, excessive trolling, jokes that go too far, an unnecessarily hostile environment for certain players, subject matter that only the most jaded of young males don't find offensive, and an excess of unrelated topics that aren't wound down when related topics are brought up such that related topics are drowned out.
