There are lots of people in the community that like discussing WiS. (As evidenced by the massive number of posts that happen on either side of the discussion) The trolls keep forcing them to be locked denying us a place to discuss WiS for those of us that wish to do so. There was a mega threadnaught that got closed. This was a central location for people to discuss and express their support for it rather than starting a new thread every time someone wanted to talk about it. If we need to repeatedly open new threads, every time one gets opened, we'll get the identical "Not this thread again" trolls each time one gets opened, causing redundancy and increased irritation on both sides.
I would like to request that one thread be allowed to remain unlocked for discussion, and for the community volunteers to more actively police that one thread. By allowing the trolls to force lock threads, you deny your players that would like to discuss and express their interest in Avatar and/or WiS based gameplay peacefully.
I have started a new thread for discussing WiS gameplay and for showing your support for it. It can be found HERE
I would like to request that this thread be looked after and kept alive for those of us that do genuinely want to discuss it. |

While a very colorful metaphor, there are some fundamental differences that make it in inaccurate metaphor.
A forum thread is incapable of feeling therefore incapable of suffering. There is no misery to put it out of.
There is more selfishness in trying to deny people the right to discuss things they're interested in than there is in people wanting to discuss things they're interested in.
The problem isn't the threads about WiS. The problem is the people that seem to be incapable of simply ignoring them. If WiS doesn't interest you, Just ignore the threads. |

There is an interest that in itself isn't malicious nor do the threads themselves violate the forums rules, and yet the situation keeps being allowed to degrade to the point where they simply lock the threads and punish everyone rather than just those that choose to disregard forum rules. I understand there's a need to maintain order and root out problems. I don't disagree with this, But locking the threads doesn't solve anything. Those that are abiding by the rules, are the one's that are hurt by the locking. Those that are breaking the rules and are causing problems get rewarded. This seems lik ea little bit of an ineffective solution.
I'm merely asking to keep a place to discuss it. Locking the threads about WiS doesn't make the interest go away so new threads will keep popping up. This is a simple fact. |

Well you'll need to ask your father, young man. A pet takes responsibility, and last I checked you had trouble making your bed in the morning. Maybe if you catch up on your chores for a while, your father may increase your allowance so you can save a little money to feed a pet... if he lets you get one. Now off you go, you'll miss the bus. |

I think it was an expression of patience, not a troll 
To ignore the fact that moderating games forums can be a bit tedious may be the easy thing to do, But Knowing how....trying... some forums members can be, I acknowledge the stuff the ISD need to tolerate and deal with on a regular basis. |

We're not here to suggest WiS. We're here to discuss our interest in it in a general sense. To put it in F&I wouldn't be the appropriate place for it. |

Neither will your opposition of it rid you of our interest in it. If your'e tired of hearing about it, stop reading about it. |

Didn't seem like it to me. But how about we let Mr ISD come and clarify exactly what he meant for us then?
II understand the demands of such a role first hand, but Im not going to kiss their ass so they do their job properly.

They are?
I've been distracted with RL work most of this arvo, but it's excited me to come and find these Avatar threads posted. I'd like to see it remain open and spend some time discussing the topics positively without having to worry about troll posts from asshats who themselves have nothing better to do or anything to post positively about.

I'm not opposed to it, I think it could be quite fun, but EVE is a space game, and if they move into focussing on an FPS element they lose sight of their main game. For that reason they put it to bed. If the ISDs keep closing the thread, take the damn hint and stop it. Reposting the same threads over and over again is not helpful.

"WiS" is a term that many of us use to describe avatars/avatar gameplay/the character creator overall. It's really not just about the actual mothballed WiS project itself, and thus it's still alive and well and very relevant. Sorry.
Is we stopped saying "WiS" and used a different term like Avatars or Character creation would that be OK with you?

Please cite where it's stated that the reasons the threads get locked is because they're not going to make it?
Also, Please cite where it's stated that we want them to stop working on EVE stuff?
As for the FPS focus, They already are putting focus into FPS game play. It's called DUST and Legion. They're also Working on VR gaming. It's called diversification. It's something CCP is already doing. It's something CCP will continue doing.
The ISD's are closing threads because it's the easiest way to deal with the downward spiral caused by trolls and off topic posting.
It really feels like you're posting your emotions and opinions in a manner as to convince us they're facts. This often makes for flimsy arguments that can't hold up to any scrutiny. |

That's revolving around a very specific topic - Incarna content and "what happened to it".
I'd like to discuss avatars, avatar gameplay, WiS and it's fate, character creation, the New Eden Store etc in a general thread dedicated to the broader topic.

Stop creating multiple threads on the same topic.
There are plenty of threads out there already discussing WiS.
Locked.
