Khanh'rhh wrote:Let's also not forget Jades rampant conspiracy theories which largely went unmoderated, yet replies calling him out on it were repeatedly deleted as "personal attacks" -- apparently responding to a personal attack is bad, but starting a thread which is one long slander piece (repeatedly) is OK? Right.
The problem is Khanh'rhh, that many people are unable to objectively look at their own posting and see where they fall short in the first sentence you make above. (attacking the argument not the poster). You are certainly one to get over excited in the process of debate and lose sight of this principle. The reason my posts probably went unmoderated is that I have a personal rule (if I ever get upset on the internet over a forum argument I walk away from the computer and go do something else - mostly having a nice cup of tea.) Nothing good comes from posting-angry.
The whole wardec 1.1 scandal discussion was a pretty easy debate for me because well, the 1.1 changes were objectively terrible and I stand by my statements that they appear to have been made purely to advantage large alliances. I invited you many times to contest that perception with counter arguments or alternative viewpoints but mostly you just attacked ad hominen and I (and pretty much everyone else) skipped your posts.
Still, eventually you did come up with a reasonable compromise post and I agreed with you on it (while not the best option to my eyes it was much better than 1.1 changes.)
But back on topic, before doing the whole "Why does Jade get away with posting things I don't like!!" thing why not go back and read my posts in comparison to your own and try to step aside from the ego for a moment. I never sound angry, and I generally don't make personal attacks on the people I'm debating with. I might well have a poor opinion of the mental stability, personal habits, political viewpoints, general esteem of the person I'm arguing with - but all that goes unwritten because its not an appropriate body of content for a public games forum. I invite you to go back and read your own posts and see how many times you suggested I was a escaped mental patient/borderline psychotic for merely daring to suggest that the wardec mechanics were being misbalanced in favour of large alliances.
Khanh'rhh wrote:If the ISD scheme is to continue it needs to do so in a different way, because volunteers simply can't be held accountable in the same way as staff (wage pressure) and I suspect this is part of the reason why the quality has been weak.
Whereas I would suggest the reason you perceive it to be weak is simply because you have been moderated. Nobody likes to be told they are "doing it wrong." Its human nature to rebel against authority. But watch the preceedings in the British house of commons and you'll see a bunch of highly paid politicians acting like forum trolls every day and needing to be reigned in by the speaker - for debate to happen you need to stamp down on personal attacks and out of bounds tactics.

Instead, we got you calling people stupid while tinfoiling like a paranoid schizo about CCP being in league with Goonswarm (who just had 5 trillion ISK stolen from them by CCP so vOv I don't know what to tell you about how ludicrous it is that they are in cahoots) while the ISDs indiscriminately removed random posts, posts that were just as often dumb trolling as they were well-thought-out and coherent arguments.That is why the ISD sucks.
Unfortunately I just read your paragraph above as a complaint about how unfair the english language is that some people can construct a perfectly good, incisive and often cutting post without the need to personally insult other forum users and some apparently cannot.
In eve rhetorical contests are implicitly unfair because some are simply better at it.

As long as there are rules which have interpretation variations you will never ever be able to blod out the notion of favouritism in regards to moderation since you didn't take out the human factor.
People from certain groups have a dislike of people from another group and this will always result in more exact or strict ruling than for those they do like or don't care about at all.
Since there are no affiliations known of the CCL people the people start to roar because of seemingly prejudice towards a ruling. Is that wonderous? No it isn't.
Your only way to get a clear cut answer is either a fully accountable organisation, which CCP refuses to be.
or
Very clear cut and all covering rules which get used for everyone exactly the same, which CCP refuses to do.
Well I did suggest on the CCL introduction thread it might be a good idea for CCP to provide some data on which organizations the CCL volunteers came from (and in what ratios) as a way to deal with people's innate suspicion of bias. If those numbers showed some CFC affilitiation, some anti CFC affiliation, some general Eve affiliation - then at least everyone would know there were biased mods of all shades represented in the body. But, I did kinda take the point that CCP was making on the thread that these guys (CCL volunteers) were supposed to be above their in-game affiliations and referring to them at all might create rather than erase suspicions. Its a bit of a tricky problem.
Issue here really is that CCP have allowed the forum culture of Eve Online to get pretty disgusting, poisonous, and negative over the years. Bullying, personal attacks, RL slander became the norm. There is a reason why most Eve players are terrified about posting on the forums.
To turn this around somehow CCP needed to take a stand and start actually enforcing player rules of conduct. But whether inviting volunteer moderators to be at the sharp end of this enforcment is the sensible or courageous play - well, the jury is out on that decision.

You may not know this, but on something awful the worst of the memes become "viral", get run into the ground by people who think they're being funny, and then become a bannable offense inside of a week. That sounds like it would do wonders for this forum, honestly.
Funnily enough I actually started reading the goon recruitment thread on SA forums last week because I thought it was amusing to see the cognitive dissonance on display between opinions stated on Eve Online forums by prominent goon posters and the statements made to one's own social group on SA (This around the 5 Trillion isk FW exploit thing). Was interesting to see, and it does certainly provide a little perspective about how the Goons apparently see Eve Online forums when discussing their role here amongst their friends on a third party forum.

(attacking the argument not the poster). You are certainly one to get over excited in the process of debate and lose sight of this principle I tolerated you very very well for the first, say, 10 pages, but after that your intolerable lies caused personal attacks, not just from me but from countless angles (though I was actually not personally moderated). You may think it "clever" to repeatedly lie over and over again to try to make the other side fall foul of self induced moderation, but at some point people are going to call you on your bullshit. For instance: Quote:The whole wardec 1.1 scandal discussion was a pretty easy debate for me because well, the 1.1 changes were objectively terrible and I stand by my statements that they appear to have been made purely to advantage large alliances. I invited you many times to contest that perception with counter arguments or alternative viewpoints a) They are not objectively terrible since there was a debate over them which reached no conclusion. b) You repeatedly asked me to counter your proposal only because doing so made it look like I had not. I had, repeatedly. Other posters had also, repeatedly. You simply ignored this and kept asking people to prove you wrong because you felt making the other people look bad in the discussion was going to further your agenda. The changes you referred to had been mentioned by me in that thread TEN TIMES in that thread alone and you willfully ignored them, even quoting parts of the same posts out of context to further your agenda. It's a little woeful that the substance of your debate seems to be to try to trip people over forum rules, but I guess that's your lot to live with. Quote:But back on topic, before doing the whole "Why does Jade get away with posting things I don't like!!" thing why not go back and read my posts in comparison to your own and try to step aside from the ego for a moment. I never sound angry You need to step away from YOUR ego and read your posts. Because a lot of your early posts WERE moderated for being little else than personal attacks on CCP. It's nice that you can sit here and claim level headed posting when there's pages of evidence on eve-search and EN24 of you getting very very angry indeed. This is now ANOTHER thread where you've appeared and posted within 2 posts of mine and/or mention of your name, so I am a little flattered you've included me in your internet stalking behaviour. Quote:I invite you to go back and read your own posts and see how many times you suggested I was a escaped mental patient/borderline psychotic for merely daring to suggest that the wardec mechanics were being misbalanced in favour of large alliances You received this response form everyone because despite about 100 posts explaining the complete lack of logic behind it, and your statements which held no evidence behind them at all, you still kept saying the same thing. No, I don't think you're an escaped mental patient but you need to realise when you doggedly push a completely illogical argument because it suits your agenda that is *exactly* what it looks like. If the ISD team were competent they would have deleted all your posts where your statements of fantasy as fact that were demonstrably untrue were made. Interestingly this is against the rules now, so I can't wait till yout next "CCP are doing what GSF are telling them to do" post. Oh, and before you claim you never said that, just know I'll link every single post you made on it in a reply.
Posting links at dawn? By all means if you feel it will help to win you the argument. I'm certainly entirely happy to defend all statements I have made in the past.

Given the essence of complaints about the CCL program are "because we are unable to talk rubbish about our in-game opponents" that seems rather unlikely.

I said I was entirely happy to defend any statements I have made, I am not however prepared to waste my time explaining how you are meant to "perceive" something that is clearly evident.
All statements you quoted were prettty fair rhetoric given the sweeping change made to Inferno wardecs in 1.1 which have seen the defensive ally coalition mechanic nerfed into oblivion so that the largest alliances in the game can wardec the smallest for a mere 50m isk per week while a defending coalition 1/20th of the aggressor's size will be billed $300,000 dollars in ISK equiv. to escalate the war

Khanh'rhh wrote: Once more you selectively quote my post and claim the same complete nonsense
Well I'm hardly likely to stop selectively quoting your posts while you are claiming that a screenshot from the live server 1.1 defensive ally fee for escalation is part of a "nonsense" now am I? We need to get some consensus on the first line before its possible to continue. So tell me, do you agree that the 52nd ally in a defensive coalition (even though that coalition is still 1/20th the size of the aggressor) should cost around $300,000 dollars in ISK equivilent.
Because if we can get some agreement on we can move onto some of the rest of your points.

Clearly large alliances were worse off in 1.0 than 1.1. I'm not really sure what point you are making.
