General How about FDev creates an "official" Elite Dangerous presence on Facebook?

There's no need to hide the fact you are writing god by putting a dash in, god doesn't exist and blasphemy is a victimless crime so feel free to write actual words.

I believe in God and I'm also happy to write the word. (BTW it's not a proper name, just a noun). I also use a capital "G" to express my belief that there is exactly one such entity. I'm not sure why dashes are ever used unless there are online groups which prevent religious arguments by censoring the word.

Can we NOT have a theological argument here, it will be the quickest way to get the thread locked and possibly people whom I enjoy reading their posts given a forced holiday.

If you knew less than half as much about religion as you pretend to then you would know why I typed it that way. When you get to hell, look for me. I'll be waiting, pitchfork in hand.

Boy oh boy there sure was a somewhat ironic contrast between this post and the one right before it.

Also you're implying that you're also going to be in hell, so you censored yourself because ...? Brilliant.

The "private" Elite Dangerous group on Facebook is being modded by a little pocket montagnard with the intelligence of a 5 year old, more interested in his own imagined authority than in players helping players, just read his groups "rules". I answered a players question, correctly apparently for the thumbs-up the OP (and others) gave me and this sniveling schlemiel started personally attacking me for some unrelated reason of his own so I left the group, whereupon the mod PMed me to insult me some more with drivel he would never be man enough say to my face for fear of getting a beating. Easy for him to act tough when he's 3000 miles away, hiding behind Facebook, I had to block him. The OP even PMed me to apologize for the mod's behavior. o7

I gave up Facebook years ago. Though now I have Zuck's brainwave reading, environment filming spy device strapped to my head, so I guess he still won in the end.

Will never join or use Facebook or other web2.0 social media nonsense sites.

I'd rather fdev divert that person who would manage such a thing to creating galnet news posts and more varied mission and npc chatter text. Maybe getting into weekly newsletter posts summarizing in game activity and such

Just because you don't use it doesn't mean others don't. And if there's a person managing Facebook, odds are that's the same person who's coordinating all of their social media, not just Facebook.

I just think coming on to the FDEV forums to complain about a private facebook group is rather rude, the only thing FDEV can do is to remove the right of the facebook page to use or refer to Elite by enforcing copyright laws. People with private facebook pages have the right to set their own rules (within the guidelines of of the over-arching facebook rules of course) and to enforce those rules. If people don't like it then they have the right to not be a member, and that's about it.

Hey OP, I think I found the guy that runs the FB page!

True, there are people who click on ads and get scammed and buy into pyramid schemes all the time, so obviously there are people who get sucked into the cess pool of narcissism / spy arm that is Facebook. Doesn't mean companies should invest time in it to further that mistake of a site

I don't like Facebook either, but I don't presume that my opinion is the only one that is allowed.

Who said an opinion wasn't allowed?

my statement just implied the opinion to embrace it was wrong. Opinions can definitely be wrong.
