Millenium Falcon > ISD simply because it can turn distance into time

At least this first response wasn't a troll. We need more of these threads.

Choose a department you're interested in and just be honest!

I was in the same station as Chribba once. But I couldn't get the stupid door open to go find him and ask for his autograph.

To become an ISD, you must have a troll level over 9000.

I LITERALLY spent several hours a day for nearly three weeks waiting in the IRC channel to speak to someone about my application. Gave up on it.

...have a passion for the community...

Maybe I should apply for ISD, I can be on the troll hunting squad

Be carefull next time ,CCP changed the door into an Airlock

Go on!

I mean it! I'll do it!

If you want a date, just ask! You know troll hunting is serious space business.

What a curious turn of phrase.

"passion" huh?

I know, evading Navigator was fun but he's getting slow in his old age

I know, evading Navigator was fun but he's getting slow in his old age

But throughout it all, thick and thing, this community has kept me uplifted, amazed, surprised and sometimes in genuine awe of the human spirit.

Wohowowow,

shhhh, Navigator has eyes and ears everywhere.

http://community.eveonline.com/isd.asp I know you prefer clickable links, SPB.

Step 1, suck a lot of ****.

I think the statute of limitations for just being a **** are over so me and navigator should be cool now

I like the clickable link and I will send in an app... remember my name is Rusty Shackleford and I've never been forumbanned for any reason

THIS community?

But to be honest, I could never associate myself with that community. They don't do a good job in my opinion. I've seen far too many terrible posts locked because of a lack of being able to read the forum rules first.

Millenium Falcon > ISD simply because it can turn distance into time

Halp! I sent in an application

I'm not even a super Star Wars nut and I know the proper meaning behind this.

Han Solo wasn't being a dumbass mixing time and distance, his point was that he shortened the Kessel Run route. He was able to pass through a dangerous nebula or roid belt or something that everyone else flew around for that route.

That was a test of your assertiveness.
You failed.

Had to remove a very derogatory remark, this also removed subsequent replies to said remark. Please post sensibly in future, thank you - ISD Type40.

if i become isd, will i get new ships and can sell them to others?

Simple question How does one either apply or is selected to become an ISD?

I'd guess not being able to read the stickies before posting would automatically rule you out.

Maybe I should apply for ISD, I can be on the troll hunting squad

Simple question How does one either apply or is selected to become an ISD?

Absolutely - it's a word I don't like to throw around lightly.

I've been around this community since 2003 as a player, 2005 as a member of ISD.
In that time I've had various real-life traumas and quite a few good times too.

But throughout it all, thick and thin, this community has kept me uplifted, amazed, surprised and sometimes in genuine awe of the human spirit.

Passion. I haz it.

Are you kidding me?

It surprises me that you seem so eager to squelch free expression if that's the case. A sandbox functions better if it has a set of defined rules, that's true, but on the forums of all places people like you apply the most rigid definition of "trolling"

OP, you need to have a certain amount of cognitive dissonance apparently and be willing to abandon principles for the sake of your ego.

This isn't a sandbox. It is a discussion forum. We don't take kindly to trolling as it derails threads, sometimes to the point that we can't really get it back on track, so we need to lock it. That in turn creates threads that accuse us of "squelching free expression" that get locked as they violate the rules. This is a vicious circle that is not easily broken.

We are trying, though. I am trying. I ask that you guys try as well and the first step in that trying is to stop berating the ISD's like they are some sort of pinata that you can vent frustrations on. The edit message from Amber you quote is one of them. If something regarding the ISD's appears on the forums, the posters that love to hound them descend into it like vultures to a carrion.

You have the right to post anything you want. If you do so within the rules there is no problem. Pissing and moaning about the volunteer moderators will not be tolerated anymore. There is now an official place to discuss moderation and all of us in the Community Team are watching it. Don't bash, constructively criticize. I believe these posters can so I don't understand why it doesn't happen.

I never claimed the forums were a sandbox unto itself but as part of the EVE universe, the ISD was espousing that he or she is a passionate veteran of EVE and EVE is a sandbox. A forum is a medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged, where the community comes together outside of the game. This includes ideas which you don't agree with or rub you the wrong way. That is what a forum is supposed to be, you can have yours be about whatever you want (I never claimed you can't).

For instance I'm of the opinion that the laziness of CCP staff lead to this outsourcing and it's ill-advised.

Is this opinion wrong? Maybe. Are you offended by it? Maybe, if you're easily offended by random opinions (which is a distinct possibility considering).

What I'm concerned about it why you think I shouldn't be able to express it.

There are many ways to interpret "trolling" and it seems like CCP and the ISDs have determined it means anything that they don't agree with... or isn't "friendly" enough.

[quote=Becka Goldbeck]

And regarding the trolling. Our forum rules define trolling as "a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. " I myself am not in the habit of removing threads that I don't agree with. I hope to spread that outlook to the rest of the team. To be absolutely clear, I do not know about anyone on the team that thinks it is okay to delete something just because it is on an opposite place in the spectrum of opinions.

Based on that criteria, why are goons and their ilk allowed to post calling high sec players "pubbies", or some other equivalent slur?

That's the least of what they do. Easily the most abrasive and abusive group of players here, but they're CCPs darlings. Therein lies the problem with this entire thing.

I wouldn't be surprised if the ISD sees all the goons mad at someone and decide the person they're mad at is the one who is causing trouble. Everything is so peaceful as long as everyone just agrees with the goons.
