Player volunteer systems are never a good idea. If you want some precedence look no further than Ultima Online's troubles with class action lawsuits, general power abuse scandals, etc. Also, Asheron's Call's AEGIS program was shutdown for similar reasons (not sure about any lawsuits though.)
Instead of enriching the game, so far I've just seen ISD using poor judgement in forum moderation. And while this may seem like a small & minor issue, it's more than likely just the tip of the iceberg. |

I can understand why obvious spam threads are locked, but when a post that is Eve related is censored, there's an example of poor judgement. One could also argue the forum was made worse by said poor judgement. |

What kind of rule is that, anyway?
I was trying to be as general as possible so as not to mention any specific cases, but I think the original incident of locking the post that was in fact Eve related does warrant some discussion, so long as its constructive and civil. As for all the other reactionary spam posts, yeah those should be locked. |

I had a lot of fun anyhow, I may have disagreed with ISD Eshtir with the intial lock on the Eve CQ Hadaway video, but I'm glad to see CCP being cool. This is why I play this game, because CCP is probably the coolest MMO dev team around.
PS: I'm going to edit the title of my OP, because I feel it is a bit too harsh. |

That's what it all stemmed from. I was an Event Moderator (Junior Seer), and was pretty sad it came to that. But yeah, once that lawsuit broke open the doors, all kinds of stuff came out. |
