Don't pee down my back and tell me it's raining. Love you guys. . . most of you.
I'm out of here. If there's one thing I cannot abide it's disloyalty. We PAY MONEY to be in THIS venue...not REDDIT.
Stick it management. Yall are a bunch of spazzes. Of course your own developers want to associate with you as little as possible. Become better people and good people might go out of their way to associate with you.
The OP has a point, but it's not very well worded and it comes off as entitled whining. About 3 years ago these forums were in a much healthier state than they currently are, and there are a lot of reasons for that. Personally I'm going to lay the blame at the feet of CCP in engaging the ISD team instead of simply hiring forum moderators and a decent community outreach manager.
No matter which way we cut it the best volunteer ISD is always going to have a little bit of skin in the game, and it's shown in some of the most inconsistent moderation known to man.
These forums have been on a hard decline since the ISD came into play. Threads that shouldn't be locked are locked regularly, entire subforums have basically been shuttered. It's been all around bad, and it's not getting any better.

Why Reddit? Maybe because it was widely used by Goons & Co members who over the years have now become CCP employees.
Actually we gravitated to Kugu which CCP wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. The shift to reddit occurred when kugu died. As far as Goon CCP employees your information is a bit out of date. We've had two "Goon" devs, who are both gone now (That would be Soundwave and Sreegs) and one goon GM that I know of (Who got fired because he's an idiot). Claiming any of those guys showed favoritism to goons would be silly. Especially since Sreeg's anti bot/rmt banhammer caught a fair number of shall I say "Super enthusiastic ratters."
Poor elusif, has to make his house payments by actually working now looooooooool.
Right now reddit is semi hostile territory to us goons, mainly because we didn't handle the platform well. Despite "The goons must be in school lol" memes and the like, most something awful forums posters are pushing their mid 30's to 40's now and we're far more used to a forums community where the whole thing is in the most literal sense... a community. The idea that there could be fun history subreddit existing on the same website as some woman hating redpill garbage, and the redpillers aren't summarily banned is kind of alien to us.
Somethingawful is generally one of the most heavily moderated forums on the internet, and we're used to a certain authoritarian bent on our community. I.E. if I just started posting say how all women are evil because they won't sleep with me I'd expect a one way ticket to ban town. Meanwhile there's an entire subreddit devoted to just that kind of nonsense. What we have problems recognizing as old web 1.0 nerds is that reddit is really a collection of communities rather than one super mega large community.
So we tend to treat people from reddit like crap. It's a pardigm problem that we need to get over. |

CCP is doing its self a dis-service by posting official information there.
I'm not a huge fan of the format of reddit but again I'm old as hell.
All these millennials and there new fangled celly phones, when I was a teen you had to carry quarters in your pocket to make phone calls, unless you were rich, then you got the zack morris special brick phone.
EDIT: LOL if you don't remember getting a 911 text on your pager and rushing to find a pay phone. |
