Not to tread on the "discussion of forum moderation" too much, but there was a cool thread the other day from Lazerhawks that was entirely about a W-space siege and it got kicked to some other sub-forum.

Yet two weeks ago, CCP partnered with that eve-bet site to basically manufacture a rare super kill with hopes of generating some interest in both the event (clearly successul as 4000+ in system) and maybe in getting people to re-subscribe or whatever.

How does the CCP PR machine not communicate to ISD that a thread about sieging someone's hole is fun and interesting to read; and the kind of thing some players might aspire to participate in? They should want to elevate news like this, not bury it in a different sub-forum to cut off discussion.

So my point here is, they spent a bunch of dev effort basically trying to promote more W-space PVP, but there is a thread telling about a siege and instead of going, hey, here is players having fun (at least the Lazerhawks side) they fail to recognize the potential upside of that and actually bury it.
