Just wait and see what the CCP Community team comes up with. You're saying that posting killmails is a violation of rule 7. Rule 7 specifically defines what it prohibits. How is asking you to explain how posting a killmail will always fit that definition getting into "word games"?
Here's a challenge for you then Pipa: classify the posts containing killmails into two groups: those where the thread degenerated into trolling, and those which didn't.
Go! Find! Report!
As an aside, do you agree with the philosophy of "nipping it in the bud" when it comes to controlling weeds and unwanted growth in a garden?

How will you express your sanctimoniousness without 'undesirables' around?
What would you even talk about?
Also, who says you aren't an undesirable? I think you just insulted Pipa. I know you won't be moderated for it because you're on the ISD's side. But isn't that "undesirable" behavior? |

Hi folks. I just want to remind you that arguing for the sake of arguing is counter productive. When we moderate, we do so as impartially as we can. So if someone attacks someone else, we have to step in and stop it. We don't pick sides, we just do the best we can to keep it civil. Hopefully that gets the point I'm trying to make across. Thank you. ISD Dorrim Barstorlode Commander Community Communication Liasions (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department |

In gardening, sure, because in 100% of cases weeds and unwanted growth lead to problems. But are killmails trollbait even in 50% of cases on these forums? This post was crafted by a member of the Goonswarm Federation posting cabal, the foremost authority on Eve: Online posting.

There are always a few morally bankrupt individuals ready to don the black shirts & do the unjust bidding of their corrupt overlords. Even if it is on a volunteer basis. delete away guys, just know by using these tactics to control discussion, thought, ideas, you are no better than the worst kind of Dictator & an enemy of everything that's worth fighting for on this planet. There are worse things than some trolling & inappropriate comments, I personally find the level of pithy, punitive, arbitrary moderation here an assault & offense far worse than anything else the community can come up with. CCP you are the bad guys here not the playerbase.
CCP you should be downright ashamed of yourselves for taking this approach, whoever came up with this idea, for whatever reasons, is an enemy of the people & a disgrace & has no respect for the things most of us hold dear. |

Just to give you an update on the Killmail thing.
As of right now, the position we're sticking to is that posting killmails leads to trolling, and will be dealt with as an application of forum rule 7.
But what if we are already trolling, can we then link a killmail legally?
Or what if the only way to stop trolls is to link a killmail. Is it legal too?
What if I have fake permission from CCP to link killmails, will that work?
What if I am drunk? I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

Does anyone remember Akita T? I'm not sure if he's still around but I'll use his posting as an example. Back when the old forums were closing Akita T was close to becoming the top poster, and accomplished this after a flurry of posts. Forum posting can be a hobby, some forum posters may lurk around a forum, searching, waiting for something they can comment on. They collect little thumbs ups or build their post count.
This becomes a problem when you introduce forum posters with special moderation privileges. These ISD posters lurk around this forum, searching, waiting for something to moderate on. Not only does this lead to overzealous moderation but because they're clearly doing it as a hobby, often after putting their 2 cents in they'll promptly lock the thread. They'll even go so far as to edit or delete dissenting posts.
When this happens, ISD's develop a sort of unholy following of regular forum posters who are quick to bandwagon against anything they think could be or will be moderated. This boosts the ISD's ego leading to even more enthusiastic moderation and it makes the regular forum posters feel good that they were on the 'winning' side. But it's really a false contest, there's no winning and losing side, the entire thing is being created by the overzealous moderators themselves.
I think that the ISD's should have their moderation powers immediately revoked as they're creating more hostility than they would have or could have ever solved.

This character, yes. But I've posted on lots of different ones. I'm not projecting anything on them I think this entire idea is rubbish and a failed experiment resulting from a community team who wants to delegate the entirety of their workload onto the player-base.

It addresses your need to write (this thread was locked) at the bottom of your post; you just proved your own reason for why ISD exists.
You know that there's been forum moderation practiced by volunteers since 2003 ? The only thing melting down here is your ripping this place apart to prove that ISD have some vendetta or god knows what else.

To be honest it doesn't, I don't think your intentions are bad and I'm not directing anything at you individually. But I think the track record thus far of the ISD as a whole has been overzealous and I think the problems I elaborated on above can't be avoided by good intentions. It's just the nature of this arrangement and how people are. |

yeah, that's not true, you're new I get it. please limit your comments, I assume to wit; sucking up to the ISD to advance your application, to subjects you actually know about. That should reduce you post count to nearly zero for the foreseeable future, not a bad thing imho. |

Hi,
There have been incidents of overzealousness in the past, I'll grant you that. If you attended the seminar yesterday you'll know that part of my job is to manage these incidents and coach my moderators on how to better apply the very limited tools that we have at our disposal.
I can't and won't mention names but I have been involved with people being removed from ISD entirely for gross violations of player trust.
You're clearly intelligent and you care a lot about this community; believe me when I say that I'd rather have you posting on-topic then not!
You know - perhaps you should apply to join the team ? We can always use people of passion for the community, it's the one common thing that we all have in our team. If you got in, it'd also prove to you that we're not doing what you think we're doing.
As a last thought just occurred to me, there is another plausible reason why we appear to be over-zealous at times. There are generally 3 of us who are active at this time, and we are the first line of people to deal with reported posts (unless the report is about a post that a CCL member has made) so that might explain why the same people are always seen to be applying the rules and therefore appearing heavy handed because of sheer volume.
It really isn't about good intentions though; it's my job to deal with ISD members who've not done their moderation correctly. You can help me though, if you see this overzealous behaviour it then report it. You can put "FAO CCL Leads" at the start of your report and it will get through to myself or ISD Eshtir, who's in charge of this team.
I mean this sincerely.

This is so simple it's embarrassing to CCP.
Employees care and follow rules because they get paid. (no matter what they say. Tell them paychecks aren't coming at the end of the week and see how many are still there the next)
Volunteers are just doing something because they have an ulterior motive. (no matter what they say. Yes, even your 90 year old granny that volunteers at the local children's hospital is doing it because she needs a reason to get up in the morning)
ISDs are by far one of the worst ideas in forum history. Below is perfect example of why. I had to lecture this guy in the new player forums because he didn't like my wording.

If they can't put their own bias and opinions aside to perform their task objectively, they should be removed. I think many times they're also taking the side of the negative and abusive forces you hope to control, and punishing anyone who stands up to them.
For example, if an ISD was behind my last forum ban, they should be fired into the sun. I know i'm not allowed to discuss details, but i believe it was conjured out of thin air due to something i said in a thread which they didn't like, but couldn't take action against me for that post in particular, because i'm generally polite to people even when they're frothing at the mouth and screaming obscenities, so they searched through my posts from weeks and weeks earlier until they found something in a long dead thread that could be considered mildly offensive and used that as an excuse to ban me. I can't think of any other reason it would have happened the way it did. I've been posting here for many years and was never banned until these ISD cowboys started running around.
note: technically i'm not discussing actual moderator actions, only theoretical ones that may have happened, so i don't think it's bannable, but feel free to ban me anyway if you're just itching to. I'll be sure to get the message this time. "It's no use crying over spilt milk, because all the forces of the universe were bent on spilling it." ~William Maugham

Hi Minmatar Citizen,
I should like to point out that the post you're referring to was made by a member of the STAR team, not the CCL team, that this thread is specifically about.
But yes, of course we volunteers have an ulterior motive, no body is denying that - what I take objection to is the suggestion that the motive is to 'get one over' other forum posters or anything of that nature.
For one, you can't - I see what gets moderated and if I notice any odd patterns then I talk to the person involved and undo the action taken. Two, you can't do all that much, CCL team members are not permitted to be in-game or to moderate in any thread that involves their mains corp or alliance. As a lead, I can see the details of my team members and know who they are so I can also enforce this.
Of course you might argue then that it's my ulterior motive that could be suspect, but I'll be open about it: I do this because I enjoy this aspect of the community. I do it because I get to talk to CCP staff members and having been in ISD is helpful when getting employment with CCP. I do it, because I get my game account for free.
It's not much but its a payment of sorts.
Lastly, to suggest that a single misunderstanding between two people is a perfect example of ISD being 'by far one of the worst ideas in forum history; is ad hominem.

Argumentum ad hominem? No, it's my personal opinion based on the abuses I've seen and experienced. I made no irrelevant personal attack to win an argument. My opinion is not based on that one experience. I merely referenced a good example.
As a customer, I don't have to understand the different job duties and who is "STAR" team...which does...who cares? PLAYERS are moderating your forums at such a rate that I have a hard time believing anyone has a handle on them and what they are doing to the OTHER customers voicing their personal opinions. I could understand having some guys on hand to remove pony pictures and other egregious violations but general moderation? No, I'm sorry put paid professionals with a background in something related to moderating other than "being an avid poster" is needed. Period. |

By that logic, my challenge to you would be to classify all the posts containing the word "the" into those two groups. I have noticed that most posts which lead into trolling contain that word, and thus the word must be banned, right?
Weeds are bad for gardens. Beans are not. Both are plants. Trolling is bad for the forums. Legitimate discussion is not. Both can involve killmails or the word "the."
By the way, the examples of trolling via killmails that have been pointed out (along the lines of "Durhurr look at this idiot") easily fit into the definition of Rule 7 with the killmail removed. Indicating that the presence or absence of a killmail is not at all a good test for trolling. This is EVE. -á Everybody Versus Everybody.

No, it's not. It doesn't follow the right form to be an ad hominem argument.
"You are wrong because you're a bad" is an ad hominem argument.
"You are bad" is not an argument, it is a statement. Therefore, it cannot be an example of argumentum ad hominem.
Saying that "a policy or program is a terrible idea because it produced terrible results" is a valid argument. You're free to argue that the results aren't terrible. You're free to argue that the policy or program isn't terrible even if the results are. Dismissing it as a fallacy is simply poisoning the well (a real fallacy).
I'm not saying either of you are right or wrong, but I don't think ISD's should be attempting to poison the well of discourse between them and a player. This is EVE. -á Everybody Versus Everybody.
