How's the water over here? It's getting pretty thick with scum and shit and lies over on PCF, so I thought I'd try this place out. :)
Hey sledge, welcome to EP. *edit for a bit of nostalgia* (I still think of you as 'the uber' who donated prizes to my killroy event years ago)
The water looks pretty good to me :) welcome Edit: Holy crap, I understand what you mean, just had a quick browse over there and pretty much every thread is filled with removed posts and rules quotations and edited posts also with rules quotations, who the feck would not find that extremely annoying? It's like 700 is trying to kill that forum on purpose lol
ahhh pec art :) I have to say, I'm confused. Every time I look at PCF (which is rarely, maybe a few times a year now) all I see are sales or wanted posts. There don't seem to be any genuine discussions now except maybe 1 thread every time god (sorry MA) speaks.
This is one thread I had in mind when I edited my post above : http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/f...logy-for-absence-plus-health-news-See-ya-soon! The poor girl's thread about her condition and letting her friends know of her circumstances turned into a moderator's fest where at every few posts there are other 5 missing plus posts that are edited out including the girl's initial post. If that's not horrible lack of respect from the forum I don't what is...It really is quite disgusting to see
Welcome (back). Water over here is clean and warm I'd say. And before we all post our old killroys (yes, I had one too) how about a new edition of this event?
LOL! Welcome sledge. Here's my one with PCF. Since I was so pissed off of all this <removed> I had a serious fight with Serica and was bannend. 3 days ago I checked it and my account was unbanned again. I checked if there is any chance to delete my account. But I couldn't find a way to leave this place ultimate. So I started a Suicide Thread: http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/forums/showthread.php?255722-I-thought-I-was-perma-banned And guess what! It took 5 minutes only and Serica popped up and started with polite responses. But I was not longer polite. Vice versa. Regarding thread title: Soooooo ... ... by John Teacher Capital.
Well, that's exactly what I meant. This is not "moderating". It is disrespectful and stupid. Reason enough to get my sexy arse out of this disaster.
Devil's advocate: Rules are rules, they apply always and for everyone and if necessary need to be enforced. Philosopher: But rules are just abstract conceptions of normativity negotiated in constant discourse. Selfish dick: Whatever, take the chance and move your sexy asses to EP.
I did it already ;) Regarding "rules are rules": I agree. The main questions are: Are the rules good for mankind or not? Are the rules used to improve mankind's benefit or are they used for their own purpose only? Just because it is a rule? Do you know Siegfried Lenz' novel "Deutschstunde"? THAT's what I mean. ... remember the times when MindBuster was running the forum - it was called "Entropia Forum". Most of the current rules existed at this time. But it was a complete different feeling, wasn't it?
PCF formerly EF was the very first forum I joined a loooong time ago - but I quit it fairly soon because on the odd occasion that I suggested something wasn't right with EU all I got was shouted down and one moderator in particular even had the temerity to seriously suggest that I uninstall the client and keep it uninstalled. So no doubt about it, you're in safer place here with EP than there ;)
I liked it before Serica's hardcore moderating as well. I could stand 711's old fashion handling methods. But now - both combined - it became a no go for me.
I think it's natural that people vent a bit when they get fed up in one place and head elsewhere. I'm pretty certain that over time, that will pass.
