Yes, im going to run the risk of getting a warning for this, but it seems like the only way to voice my opinion.
This is not in referance to any 'single' act of moderation but to the overall moderation of this sub-forum.
In my honest oppinion, not that alot of people care, i think this sub-forum is overmoderated to the point of making it stagnant.
Back in the days of the forum-fights of CA/M0o/SA/etc... moderators would let everyone vent their thoughts/spleens as much as need be to make a thread:-
a) worth reading b) fun c) constructive
even if said thread included some chest-beating/spam/whorage. Now- any of the previous and a thread is locked. If the topic gets derailed slightly, its locked, if the mod is on PMS its locked...
So this is my plee to everyone, let the mods know of this overmoderation.
I hope this is seen in a constructive light and not insta-locked.

While "over-moderation" is their right (since CCP owns the boards and has the right to do whatever they want with them), I must agree - some of the numb-nut forum mods need to be nerfed - that's right, I called them "numb nut forum mods".
While there are some reasonable forum mods in the bunch, there's a new batch of idiots who seem to have a quick "clicky" finger and a god complex.
Personally, if I were CCP, I would want constructive criticism, and perhaps even non-constructive criticism because those "non-constructive" types can be forum-pwned easily by the mods/devs.
CCP, fire the stupid kids with an ego and hire more adult forum mods please.

the stupidest type of lock is:

After years of service Eris got her promotion to join ccp at their offices and help make this game.
Now all these forum mod junkies want to make their name on the community in a vain hope to get recognized by ccp as well.
Frankly, we want eris back, she was never this bad.
Hardest part though is freedom of speech vs freedom of pointless posts.

Its the old question of "are they going to likely do something against the rules? lock the thread" vs. "whoops, they just smacked, lets clean up the thread and do some warnings".
Stop with the thread locking please, all we need is the no alts rule, maybe a quick cleaning if there is a random flame or two, and a thread nuking if a flamewar erupts. Not a lock on anything that might be considered a hot-button issue; after all, this is where corps and alliances come to discuss things, don't expect all discussions to be like "Sir Reginold, I believe that the wait staff found a*****roach in the kitchen today! Good dear!"...
I'm tired, forgive the example.

Indeed, chest-beating/spam/whorage/smack is part of the forums, just like piracy is part of the game, and CCP deosnt take stance to either support or not any of these ways.
The mods should not either. just let it be

The sad thing is that this thread will be locked same as all the other ones because it's against the rules. Can't even have a discussion about things like this any more. The mods lock it before we can, as a group, get a concensus.
HOWEVER, if we want to "discuss" it we can send in a mail where it will have the weight of only one insignificant player behind it. It'll be read (briefly), forwarded to the rant department where it'll be shot down, replied to with a canned message of something between apathy and "don't argue with us" then sent off to the round file to be forgotten.
I appreciate the mods cleaning up certain things. Racist remarks. Overly rude sexual comments. Swearing just for the sake of swearing. Sure, go for it. Ranting and verbally slapping someone silly, especially in this forum where drama is the name of the game is unwanted, unneeded overkill.
Anyways, hopefully this'll make it in before the lock.

I agree with WarBear. Unfortunately, this thread will probably be 'disappeared' :(
You know the sad thing is when I chat in game or whatever I can't think of a single person who has ever said "Yeah, I agree with the no discussion about moderation rule" or "I think the mods are too lax!"
Everyone says that threads get locked for stupid things far too quickly, "This thread could turn into a flame fest. Locked." Absolutely every thread can out this way.
Oh no! Someone linked to a killmail - this is an outrage quick lets lock the thread! GO! GO! GO! The great thing is that this happens even when its essential to the thread - like when someone asked about Farjung losing his faction BS.

The reality to me is that a lot of the fun of this game comes from this forum. Blow up someone's ship ten times and they may or may not care. Make a post about it once and the egos come out.
And it's healthy for the game. A bunch of alliances sitting everywhere just getting rich is boring and ends with people canceling their subscriptions. Give someone a good rivalry stemming from a forum war and things get really interesting.
Mostly I'm just a drama junkie and without threads to read about LV/RA, etc, it gets boring.
I've never made an anonymous alt post, but life was more interesting when they were around. Most people are really, really bad at posting 'anonymously' and it's pretty obvious which side they're on.

Maybe they should spend less time in this section as it is more or less self policing and go hit up the market forums. You have some gold farmer spamming bogus GTC sales non-stop. Not too mention I've seen the same losers putting orders for selling isk on our own forums! These posts stay up for hours at a time. CCP, redirect your resources where they are needed please and stop over-policing the one 'fun' section of the forums.

The mods basically destroy anything that is interesting or that could involve a bit of arguing. It is sad, because this is something that is really interesting to read. Also some of the "off topic" locks are also a joke. I really think they are overdoing it EXTREMLY and should slow down a lot on thier locks. I know noone who likes what the mods are doing here. I like the alt rule, but everything else is WAY to much. I think everyone with a non alt char who posts something here should be able to and unless it has inappropiate content or is COMPLETLY off topic it should stay. And by inappropiate content i mean racist, ****ographic or extremly violent content. -------------- My dad can beat up your dad!

Anytime a thread gets into the viewpoint of being very unmoral outlook it should get locked.
People should keep their comments and such professional no matter where they go. People get emotional over these things written here and a whole new brand of egotism is created. there are young folks playing the game and what example of accetable behavior are we setting for them as 'mature' players. granted some of the locking could be unwarrented, but so are some of the flames too where people seem to thrive to live in some kind of spot light negative or positive by putting others down. Its just inappropriate in general and probably that is what is not wanted here.

(And Jade Constantine too!!!!)
I used to read Jade's posts back when I was a n00b (some would say, I never got past that level....) I loved the fact that someone could care soooo much about the game and put an incredibly eloquent post up about current affairs. tbh, seeing those posts were a contributor to me actually signing up for a full account (and as now - 4 accounts....). I don't want to discuss Jade's forum ban, but I think the forums are missing something without Jade's particular interpretation and commentary on events (I know we have Jasmine now, but it's not the same ). That type of in-depth RP commentary is what this board sadly lacks, yet is what this board should be full of in my opinion.
Still, this post is destined for a lock, as you can't discuss moderation

Lol you people are never happy.
I think the forums are stagnant because there is nothing happening in game, if you miss the flame wars started by alts, you shouldnt have whined so much for them to get nerfed.
About all the thread locked "because they will degenerate into a flamefest" well most the times its true, and you dont want them open because you are looking for constructive posts but because you wanna munch your pop corns and watch everyone flaming each other.

I'm in 2 minds myself although I do agree the mods sometimes are very heavy handed on certain stuff they also let alot of stuff go.
Its just you get certain mods who just lock anything that even looks like flamebait or the such they just need to alittle less trigger happy
All in all the mods to a pretty good job I think most people will agree esp compared to other game forums, with regards to hippoking you get 10 warnings before you get banned so its his own fault and his spamming of posts was just annoying.
Anyhow this thread will get locked at soon as a mod wakes up
