Hey, I know by the nature of this topic it will get locked eventually, but I would like some explanation on this that most other forumites seem to be interested in as well.
Since you joined the moderating team, Adida, you have been enforcing rule 17 of the forum rules pretty often. I'm interested to know why.
Prior to you coming on the team, rule 17 was for most intents and purposes ignored by the other mods. In fact I had to go re-read the rules when you first said it existed because I had forgotten about it.
Rules are only rules when they are enforced. Rule 17 was never actively enforced before you joined the team. It was by convention among the players and moderators alike that the rule was disregarded.
So I guess my final point is this. Either go back to treating Rule 17 the way it was treated before you came on, or be consistent and lock ALL threads about other games, because right now you seem to be locking them at random (Mass Effect 2 thread?)
And also consider this my post to show my support for the removal of rule 17 entirely.

Because enforcing the rules are the mods job, no matter how silly the rule is.

While technically true, whenever CCP Adida locks a thread because of other game discussion, they reference rule 17 for all the forums instead of rule 5 for OOP. Not too mention I think it shouldn't just be rule 5 removed.
Mentioning other games in the other subforums isn't a problem, it just shows insecurity on CCP's part for upholding a rule like that.

I have no problem with the mod's enforcing the rules as that is why they are here but when we have been able to discuss other games in this section for years without any trouble then the rules could do with a review to bring them up to date and make things clear. Also considering that moderators, developers and games masters have joined in on discussions about games on here including I think even making threads themselves about other games then it certainly needs looking at. Right now people just feel there is mixed messages on the matter.
We should be allowed to discuss other games here as this section is for non-Eve related topics. The no politics and religion discussion rules are fair but a ban on games discussions just seems petty.

That is a recent change. It used to be "5. You are allowed to discuss other games as long as it is constructive and not related to EVE." _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Lulz.. CCP stealth changed that line in the oope rules thread. It used to say discussing other games was fine as long as it was civil and constructive.

I have a question for you: Why do you care? Is mentioning other games on the EVE forums a pastime of yours? Or are you trying to hit your pointless complaints quota for the month?

It is fair to say that over half of the threads and discussions that actually reach a decent length beyond five to ten posts is about gaming or other games. We are gamers. This is a forum belonging to a game we all play. Gamers, intuitively, like to discuss other games with people who play the same games they do, and share opinions on possible games to buy in the future. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

Well considering that to a number of people the Eve forums is seen as an on-line community of people who share an interest together, people like to discuss a range of topics with each-other and some people even appreciate the opinion of others. Your comment about "pointless complaints" seems to be incorrect in this thread.
edit: What Blane said. And you seem to be complaining about people complaining :lol:

I for one, do not welcome our over-moderating overlords. It wouldn't be a messageboard though without some "person" being all, "LETTAR OF TEH LAWZ!!!" on everyone.

I haven't seen any of the mods come as close to coolness / effectiveness as Shadow. They all fail in comparison. Too bad RL cloning isn't possible, we could demand clones of Shadow and toss the rest out on their ears.

BS. 99 out of 100 times that other, or any other game is mentioned it's in a terrible comparison, and the entire thread derails into an EVE vs other game discussion.

Jeez...
ok, let me break it down for you:
- Gamers play games
- Most gamers play more than one game
- Gamers thus like to talk and share opinions on games
- ONLY where other MMOs are concerned, are comparisons drawn with EVE
I think you are just looking to get into a forum fight, ye little troll?

Lol. If your ****ty moderators lock threads that are explicitly allowed because they don't understand the forum rules, change the rules and pretend that's the way it's always been.
Or you could just admit that you made a mistake and stop sucking at your job. -----------

Well considering that most games cannot be compared with Eve I believe you are mistaken. Especially considering what was locked earlier was a thread where someone asked for some suggestions on what to get on his PS3, I really fail to see how that could derail into a (Metal Gear Solid 4 sucks and Eve is much better) scenario, if it did then obviously that would come down to trolling which is another issue entirely.
