I'm just sad all the posts of people (almost) telling me they love me and I will always have a home here have gone
You'll always have a home here Zach!
Trying to rep him for the last days failed. Need to spread it more it says...
D9! I sank your battleship!

ECoPTM.
You were right. I was wrong. It's quite obvious that the twisted men and women on Raxxla had children.
Ok ok, so it's the ECoPTMWACPPBAPT

Or at least one witty comment. I can't recall now. ;-)
That's what comes of sneaking aboard the Zurara
As my previous post and it's replies were removed for reported violation, here is a sanitised version for those interested.
Children of Raxxla have removed my membership status due to inactivity and I am now an "ambassador" with virtually no access anymore to their Discord channels.
I thought that keeping in touch with members of their Concul, informing them of things from this thread, and defending them when they were getting a lot of hate would have meant something, but apparently I don't talk to them or play with them enough.
I'm pretty hurt at this, so I'm venting it here, one of the last two homes I have in this game.
Details
When I connected to CoR discord, I saw that almost every single channel I had access to yesterday have disappeared. After I questioned what had happened on the only channels I had access to, an UN-NAMED member of the CoR Concul PM'd me where we had a discussion over what happened.
Without publishing private messages or player names, I was basically told:
CoR are changing members status's based on activity and membership of other groups. As I'm quite active in several other groups but not as active in CoR I'd been demoted to Ambassador with no access rights anymore.
CoR don't read or value the rift thread anymore as it's full of hate towards them.
CoR don't want members who lurk and don't interact much.
a PUBLIC message told me:
"Yes. As you were not actively involved in CoR's activities, but is the person updating the Rifters thread, we think that the Ambassadors role is more suitable for you. However, if you want to become a full CoR member, you can consider to reapply again. But be warned that you have to contribute to CoR related discussions to stay a member."
So because of my level of activity on the Rift and Canonn threads, and membership of the Canonn PG - and that I've barely played Elite in the last couple of months, haven't spent my time discussing precious inside secrets on the CoR Discord or joined in with their activities, my presence in the group isn't valued.
I hardly think I'm a lurker. As soon as the Zurara idea was hatched, I was PM'ing members of the CoR Concul I know to get their thoughts on whether CoR are behind the idea, or it was contrary to any of CoR current plans. I watched the Live Stream of Salome's funeral. I've replied to questions where I've known the answer due to my knowledge of the Rift thread. I've linked CoR documents on the front page of the Rift thread. I defended CoR and dug out the truth when all the accusations started flying after the 29th event. All this while I'm taking a break from playing Elite!
But it seems that being a Rifter curator has made me persona non grata to CoR now.
Guess I need to make myself a new forum signature
Sorry to hear this, but I kind of understand that they want to distance them self from this thread since it became more and more toxic against them lately. Whether or not this is reason enough to kick you out only CoR knows, but I think you will always be welcome here.

No, that's normal...

As someone had already said in reply to your original post, a bit of a move from CoR.
We've got your back mate!
Oh and I was mid-reply when the 'disappearing' happened. Was about to say to the CoR folks that the hate they thought they were getting on this thread was just from interlopers and wasn't actually from the regular members. That's been blown out of the window!
Yes, the interloper hate mail against CoR was strong, exacerbated by the high feelings after the 29th Event when everyone seemed to be blaming CoR for Salomé's death which surprised me.
Apart from one or two people here RPing some anti-CoR sentiments I don't think Rifters in general have anything against CoR. Was indeed thinking of applying for membership myself until I saw a couple of high-handed CoR posts on this thread-perhaps it's the rarified Raxxla atmosphere. Seems to be a general lack of courtesy and consideration around since the 29th; shame, it's a small universe and only a game after all.

I think the hexediting is getting to me. I seem to recall a very considered post which was complementary to Zach and decidedly non-antagonistic to CoR.
And that last bit definitely can't be right!

Being the center of unwanted and vitriolic attention is tough, circling the wagons is a natural tendency. I completely agree with the sentiment that there's no formal animosity between the two groups, in fact there's substantial membership overlap.
A bit of good natured ribbing is all fine (and probably called for) but in the end it's real people with real sentiments, it's entirely possible to take things too far.
So... Despite many of us being hexedited or temporarily erased from existence, we're unanimously agreed that Zach is as welcome as ever, and CoR's loss is our gain, and they're still a tad upset.

RP aside, never had a problem with CoR or what they did, except for a few occasions where it basically came down to "we can RP our game but you are not allowed to RP yours if not nice about us", but they have been digging themselves a hole recently which seems to be going beyond circling the wagons. Can understand that with a lot of the non RP attacks and personal insults, but a bit counter productive
Whilst I agree that the anger, bile and abuse spouted on the forums both before and after the event was both unacceptable and misdirected, it should be pointed out that CoR did everything in their power to put themselves front and center of the Salome/Rift story. CoR should accept that the benefits they gained from being that close to the story were always going to result in some level of blowback from people aggrieved at the 'special treatment'.
Again, this is not condoning the inappropriate abuse, just pointing out that it was in some ways inevitable, given the path they took.
I also never had a problem with CoR, or with any other player group participating in this thread. I solely judge people by the tinfoil they produce...
