Ive read this forum since i started eve, aspiring to become like some around here. However recently most have acted like children, i don't even see what the major issue is here?
I feel exactly the same way.Some people take this game and the status they 'built up' WAY too serious.

I'm gonna try and answer both of these posts in one go, but only because I have a bit of respect for you flakeys.
This has NOTHING to do with status. It has to do with what the individuals that are leaving believe has happened to the MD forums. The quality versus quantity argument. When the "how do i make isk" or "what item should i sell to make isk" posts start coming in waves it does get a bit annoying. The information is there in the stickies or in the threads themselves(Eve-search ftw). A few people had a problem with the new placement and the waves of noobs that don't want to do any real work. They complained about it and got called elitist. They could stay and deal with it or leave. They made the choice to leave. I think if it was bothering them enough being here then they made the right decision and it has nothing to do with being an elitist or elder or any sort of perceived status.
I know most wouldn't consider me to be an elitist yet I am annoyed by the posts asking which items to trade to make l33t amounts of isk. Since that annoys me, does that make me an elitist? No.
Don't get me wrong here AC155 i have a lot of respect for the older MD players and i can learn a LOT of them.I have been browsing his forum for the last 3 years and actively invested in IPO offers for the last year.
I have allways read the discussions ongoing here wich gave me more insight to the market and the way the game can be played.I mostly never been part of these discussions simply because my intellect will not permit me.I know where my limits are.
I do agree that since the MD forum moved there has been a lot of topics created wich should never been here to start with and yes i am getting sick myself of the threads asking how to get fast money etc.There are however some topics that do make sence and are in the grey area if they should or should not be posted in the MD forums.I see these posts being crushed and smacked with:" wrong area reported" and such stupid comments.There's a topic here somewhere with someone asking if there are other traders that wish to work with him on bulk deals and such.He got the reply to move to the WTS forum yet i remember a topic allmost exactly the same of a few months back where others replied on in a totally different way and deals where made to establish a business relationship.
The zero-tolerance that is shown these days is something i don't like to see and it is shown on both sides.Just look at this topic the accusations flying from right to left and the other way ,it's really starting to get stupid and the actuall discussion about anything that is related to the market are set back for discussions about if the forum is going downhill and if it should be moved back and such.If we keep this rate up in a few months the MD forum will be a forum no one will visit but NOT just because of the new people posting in here but also because some are hanging on to what it once was when the forums where down below.CCP changed it so we need to try and make it work the best way we can and curently we are not.
This is why i say some take the game to seriously and are 'fighting' to prevent any changes.Itis an open forum and we all pay to play.You see a post you don't like you either ignore it , give tips on how the op should improve it or state your view on it in a decent way without starting to break the person down to the ground just for making a comment you find either 'stupid/false'.
Again i can not stress enough that i have a lot of respect for the MD vets.

Your interpretation of the EULA is that of a 12yr old. (I'm being generous)
p.s.You're a tool and your opinion sucks.
A fine example of what i mean and as i mentioned from both sides of the front.

The truest frustration of all is that we can not discuss moderation here [even saying this much is against the rules!] but when all other forms of moderation discussion is absent... what the **** can anyone do but simply abandon these forums.)
