Spread the word about the censorship occuring here!!!

This is now moving into the censorship phase. It didn't blow over as hoped. Was discussed for days and still didn't go away. Now you can no longer discuss offline mode on the forums. This is suppression pure and simple.

The media loves scandals and FD seems determined to serve one up.

Not to cause a problem, but just a little bit of information. This is a privately run and owned server/forum, therefore, there can be no claim of censorship due to the fact that the owner make the rules that apply, not the legal authorities of any government.

What on earth (sic) are you on about. Create your own forum if you don't like it, there is certainly plenty of people posting against ED without them being censored. Really I wish there was more censorship so we can enjoy the game and the forums a bit more.

You're right, off-line mode was discussed for days... And days

It's quite boring now and another dozen threads saying the same thing adds no value to the issue.

well I reckon i'll get my ban, before I get my premium box set!
bloody sad isn't it, tarnished something i'd been looking forward to for almost half my bloody life!

I completely agree, the mods are being way too light touch on this subject. This is a commercial privately run forum. Frontier are being a lot more patient than they need.

It's perfectly clear the discussion about offline wasn't over. The mods closed the tread and basically said this discussion is over and don't post about our decision to close the tread. I get some of you guys you aren't impacted by no offline and don't care. That's your choice. The offline only tread was the only one left open and couldn't have been causing you guys that much heartburn.

I guess as long as they keep spouting about it, it does dilute the issue. I've seen many times over the years, when people yell louder and more often about things, the media tends to get bored with it and stop printing about it.

I say let them keep at it, they'll kill their own cause all by themselves.

 

[Avery Woodes]

Like it or not, they own the forum, they control the content.

 

[Zvanya]

I have disliked the heavy handed way they moderate these forums all along. Of course it's a privately run and owned forum and of course they make the rules and can moderate and censor it in any way they want. It's their world and this is how they choose to rule it. I don't have to like it, I just tolerate it.

Hi all,

After lengthy discussion with the moderation team, we have decided to go ahead and close this discussion thread.

We are not closing this discussion in an attempt to shun out people regarding offline mode, but more or less due to the following list of issues that have arose in this thread.


Extensive circular discussion.
Verbal attacks to employees of Frontier and the volunteer moderators.
Harassment and threats, to moderators and employees.
Continuous baiting and trolling of one another.
Numerous off-topic replies.


We kindly ask that you do not create new threads/discussions about this moderation action or the offline issues at this point in time. Thank you for understanding.
