My Bic lighter has a sticker "Warning, do not light near face." WTF? How am I supposed to light my cigarette? Use protection. Fire condoms work just fine. Some fires are known to leave stuff on you that's so nasty you need to go to the doctor. Come now even the street fire use fire condoms now. Like they say prevention is better than a cure. |

It's a 'fundamental flaw' of human nature. You can literally go to any official (or unofficial forum) behind any online video game and see the exact same 'fundamental flaws' of the forums. |

I am more concerned that 'survival' and 'internet' are in the same sentence. It's not like someone is going to reach through the cable and choke you for your shiptoasting. There is no threat to my survival, so why would I need a guide for that? Sovereignty and Population New Mining Mechanics |

It's a good article and it's accurate.
My question is: Should we require such tip-toeing in the first place? Or is it a fundamental flaw of the forums that is still not addressed?
Without survival guides, how are we supposed to mansplain anything around here? Bring back DEEEEP Space! |

Unfortunately, effective accurate communication is partially reliant on expression, tone of voice and situation.
That's missing with forum posts , so what one person is posting is filtered through the preconceptions of the reader, all without the visual and aural clues that would lead the reader(s) to understand that what is being said and what is actually meant could be two totally different things.
And thusly the flamewars are fanned with the winds of righteous (though incorrect) indignation, and mirth and hilarity breakout amongst the onlookers.
We don't need to have a survival guide. We just need to read and write with a little more patience and understanding.
And if that actually happens on the eve forums I really will believe the sky is falling chicken little

It's a ridiculous article. The site is named for someone who ran afoul of the law with regard to the internet, but chooses to blame the internet. I can type you a post naming every nail in my chicken coop with its X,Y, Z coords, and it'd be factual and honest and true, and pretty much useless information. Anyone that finds this forum threatening, shouldn't leave their bubble. You might step on a blade of grass and bruise your tender little foot. You might hear a loud noise! (eek!) No. It's not that this forum isn't for the feint-hearted. It's for intelligent people to stomp on idiots for saying stupid things in print! Isn't it?
Dumb article. Dumb idea. Behind it is, if you post in here and **** off somebody, they'll gun for you in the EVE world. Guess what. They're gunning for you anyway. Post away. We may say a lot of stuff, but we wouldn't be here if we didn't LOVE IT. I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility toward every form of tyranny over the mind of man.-á |

Once again, Serene Repose purports that some law or other was broken.
And yet, no criminal charges emerged in either case. How very odd. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

If even 5% of the laws I've been told I have broken are real, I am in such deep trouble. "Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

Im still waiting on the 40 bans from Xbox Live by the Devs who cant spell the words "you", "are" or "you're", or even use the correct form of "there, their, they're" and called me several names that were all some combination of feminine cleansing products and food.

Guide.
1. These forums consist of 90% trash posts (the same 20 trolls post garbage).
2. If you want useful information there are better sources with much less garbage.
3. Hence most go elsewhere and leave the forums to the Garbagemen
4. After one hides all of the trolls the forums actually resemble a virtual stinking trash can full of garbage and a few decent posts on the floor outside of the trash.
That's a nice way of putting it.... a virtual toilet could also be used in the guide. |

I'm working on it. "EVE is a dark and harsh world, you're supposed to feel a bit worried and slightly angry when you log in, you're not supposed to feel like you're logging in to a happy, happy, fluffy, fluffy lala land filled with fun and adventures, that's what hello kitty online is for." -CCP Wrangler |

To post a New Topic:
Step 1: Look to see if this has been posted before. Go beyond first pages in multiple subforums. Look at stickies and Devblogs. (Eliminates 80% of troll responses right off the back.)
Step 2: Use Search function to see if this has been posted before. (Eliminates 50% of remaining troll responses.)
Step 3: Use Google to see if this was posted before, or if it answers your question eliminating the reason for thinking about posting. (Eliminates 40% of remaining troll responses.)
Step 4: Repeat steps 1-3 to be absolutely sure. (Eliminates 20% of troll responses per pass of steps 1-3 and 90% of instant thread lockages.)
Step 5: Determine which correct category your post would belong in. If its an idea for a feature, chances are that Features and Ideas (F&I) is a better fit than General Discussion. (Eliminates 95% of FuryBot responses.)
Step 5: Fully form your thoughts to make sure that you can properly articulate what you are trying to convey. (Maximizes helpful responses, eliminates 85% of Wat?Gäó)
Step 6: Read over the post, make sure it sounds good to you. Perhaps run it by a co-worker or random stranger in the coffee shop. If it makes sense to them, itll make sense to other people (your cat is not a good proof reader). Use spellcheck, capitals, punctuation and paragraphs. (Eliminates 95% of grammar **** responses and 15% of remaining Wat?Gäó) Make sure your post doesn't violate any forum rule (Eliminates 75% of remaining thread lockages.)
Step 7: Make sure you really want to post this. (Not posting eliminates 100% of troll responses.)
Step 8: Copy the entire post. This way you can put it all back again if the forum eats your post. (Eliminates the AARGH forums ate my post now I need to quickly retype it and it doesn't sound right anymore but I don't care here it goes good luck everyone.)
Step 9: Make sure you really need to post this. (Not posting eliminates 100% of troll responses.)
Step 10: Create title with real words showing actual intent of post. (Eliminates 10% of remaining troll responses.)
Step 11: Submit. (Opens you up to feedback both positive and negative.)
Reminders: Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean they are trolling.
Asking for Dev response does not guarantee a Dev response, nor does it entitle you to a Dev response.
Just because someone is a known Forum Troll does not mean they are wrong or necessarily trolling.
70% of all numbers posted on forums are complete bull**** 93% of the time.
And remember, with your help we can reduce New Topic abuse and raise Search Function awareness. Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings? |
