General / Off-Topic One CMDR's perspective on the current state of the ED forums

[lokvette]

Without meaning to cause offence as none is intended I assure ye...but almost everyone lies...some to everyone else and some to themselves. To me in the world I come from, genuine bona fide honesty is as rare as hens teeth. Its just some are better at it than others ^

None taken, I tend to tell the truth on most things, I do lie to myself tho, as in ohh im going to do this or that then find ive still not done it a year later.

99% of time it's the latter. That's the rub, really - the mods are accused already of blatant bias so imagine how it would be if we were making calls about what was 'just a moan' and what was a legit topic?

I was under the illusion they already do that, but however. Ive seen threads closed and locked even if they just a bit of fun...elite related fun too. Ergo why I sometimes use the term ¨fun police¨...to my thinking, those sorta mod actions just make the whole thing worse, not better. Ive even made official complaints about it because I think its absolutely inane...not that there was any point to that cos nothing ever happens anyway.

The only time Ive personally ever accused mods of bias was before the off topic rules were changed, and one other time when I felt a mod was making a very personal remark while wearing mod colours. The mod from off topic completely vanished after the rule change...a coincidence perhaps...hmm. The other one I only see maybe once a week, sometimes less. But by and large its not bias I would accuse you guys off...I know others do but I dont wanna join that party. Thats just lashing out fer the sake of lashing out.

Anyway whatever...peace out and all that Im just gonna back off from this forum cos its already a lost cause imo. I dont blame the mods, they just doing what they told while nodding and agreeing with everything that comes down from higher ups. I used to be a mod long time ago so I know how it works...its a job I would never do again because of that very reason. I got something to say and Ill say it...I tend not to care much who I say it to because thats exactly how I am in real life too. That has led to issues here in the past and because I cant change, best thing to do is just back off so none of ye get the excuse ye need to ban me permanantly.

So while I do have stuff Id love to say, I wont because whatever else anyone thinks of me I love this game...some fights just aint worth it. The last punishment you guys bestowed on me worked and Im a reformed character nowadays...thats one road I dont wanna walk on again so do as ye wish cos I really dont care enough to make an issue out of it anymore ^

Jenner's right every single thread move would be another pointless argument.
