For those of you who don't read OOPE: rule #17 bans the discussion of other games on the EVE forums. Until very recently, the OOPE section had an exemption that stated that other games could be discussed in OOPE. Recently, CCP stealth-edited the OOPE rules thread to remove the exemption, and has started locking perfectly reasonable threads with absolutely no word on WHY they have made this incredibly stupid change (except for some vague non-answers). Meanwhile, just to make things even more pathetic, only some threads have been locked, others have been allowed to remain open, including ones with the developers themselves posting in them!
So, CSM, prove that you are actually useful for something and get CCP to fix their forum rules. Remove rule #17 and allow us to discuss other games in OOPE.

No it is not the rules that is the problem, it is one specific moderator-CCP Adida.
Everyone who agrees that we should be allowed to discuss other games in OOPE or god forbid just mention them in passing should support this thread and send an email to [email protected] and tell them about it and specifically CCP Adida. Send petitions too, anything to get this ridiculous, useless censorship out of here.
It will be interesting to see whether I can get a mod to rage-lock this thread.

This type of rule seems something like a Nazi regime would do. And I'm against nazis, therefore I support OP.
Also, I'm deeply worried about the escalating oppression of the forum word filter system. It is most disturbing.

actually the rules contradict each other and RULE 17 doesn't apply in OOPE
it was the change of rule 5 which used to state that RULE 17 didn't apply in OOPE and we could discuss other games
now RULE 5 states we can't discuss other games in OOPE.
but yes definately supported it's total nonsense that one day you have mods and devs joining in on discussions of other games and then the next day it's completely banned

CCP has nothing to fear from other games.
They should however fear the impacts of overzealous moderation and censorship.
Even software company names seem to be in the "profanity" filter.

Supported.
Almost all the threads about other games were generally reasonable and they weren't so prolific as to be a problem in anyway. Given that these forums cater to gamers playing a game, it seems slightly unreasonable to limit their discussion to only one game which is the focus of every other board here.
I guess they decided since it hasn't been a problem until this point in time, it should be one from now on.

The fact that the grandfather clause is being invoked in this current surge of OOPE censorship shows that it is not really an act to prevent litigation from other developers. If it was they would just go ahead, exert their right to censor their forums, and lock all threads involving other games.
The fact that OOPE is still in existence shows that it is not really an issue of CCP worrying about losing our log in time. If it was all threads not relating to EVE would be a threat, thus justifying the closer of OOPE.
Therefore, this is just looking like a power trip by some forum mods.

Supporting this one as well.
It should be pointed out that until recently, mentions of other games in forum sections other than OOPE were also not modded. Often, other games are used as a point of comparison in discussions about EVE. These mentionings are now also being modded, while they are, in fact, about EVE.

Even though its kinda redundant to have both this thread and the thread by Verone going on about what is basically the same issue, I'll support this as well to drive home the point in my own small way.

I will say here what I said in the other thread:
Censorship is a slippery slope. First it will be discussion about other games... next it might be discussion about this game. The question is, where does it stop?

This rule change shows a pathetic level of insecurity. It's not like OOPE was getting spammed with advertithreads for other games.

OOPE as a whole violates rule #17.
So eighter the dedicated OOPE rules are useless.
Or the mods can change them anytime they like and are just being ****s.

As mentioned in one of the other support threads, the problem with #17 (and specifically with CCP Adida's interpretation of it) is that it prohibits us from discussing aspects of EVE as well, which is patently silly on an EVE forum.

Edited to tick support checkbox.
I would support this on my normal forum posting character (you all know who) but she got banned precicely for objecting to this issue; so I'm forced to support this on an alt.
The lack of consistency or courtesy from CCP moderators is very disappointing. CCP Adida should certainly consider a change of attitude.
