Feliday Melody posted:I haven't seen any updates from Atrum when it comes to reversing bans, but the last response I saw was that if they reverse any bans, then the individual has to apply for it. No proxies or anything. I was working on it, but then Locke Erasmus had to go and edit in zxmagus's timeline on his venerable PvE ratting thread on his way out the door. Now illum is looking for delta sleeper agents and my effort to try to get some bullshit bans (deadtear, a couple people that posted only in helldump) is ruined by nerds who have to poo poo on the carpet on their way out the door. So at this point all I'm going to do is if a specific person wants to appeal their ban, just message me on discord, and I'll get you in contact with theadj or klavas and we can work the appeal. Otherwise I'm not wasting more effort on people bent on self-sabotage.

Bad Purchase posted:don't know how you can hate him after he made the best post in this thread I been living rent free in Dozer's head since the last thread where his every other post was spamming my name. You see, it's in Dozer's nature to gently caress goons, and unfortunately to my great chagrin I was involved in giving him a second chance in GSF the last 3 or 4 times he was there... or as he so eloquently put it a few pages back... when I was carrying water for him. I'm glad Dozer found a group of people to play this dying game with - I just have zero desire to be one of them again. And I'd love to be wrong - that in a few weeks or months we aren't sitting here riveted by the latest Dozer Done Dozed, Again story, but given how he's been carrying on about me like the bitterest of bitter exes despite me not having directly responding to any of his posts since I told him to leave me alone, it certainly doesn't feel like anything has changed with him. And yeah, that post was totally worth the 24 hr probe.

It feels like this is targeted at some of the more egregious behaviors - new player hunting with can flipping or relentlessly making GBS threads on a streamer that someone has decided they don’t like - both of which put the hurt on new player attraction and retention. Seems like freighter/jump freighter/bowhead/orca popping will still be fine under the “tangible value” phrasing, though how much isk is “tangible” depends very much on the individual. Regardless, whether it’s the isk value or we have a conversation with the GM where “actually we have this tool where we’ve observed player interactions and locations and have a high degree of confidence this is the neutral alt of X, who is a member of Y, which we are currently at war with.”

psilocybin laden posted:on the fireside he did the week after, adj was like "part of this whole problem was mittani not knowing how to shut the gently caress up", which is not an admittance of fault or guilt in my book tbh and it's also not a loving apology - keeping misogyny quiet is not the correct outcome, not having it in the first place is the correct outcome, and then there was still no apology (I thought most people's parents taught them as a child to say they're sorry when there's a fuckup, apparently not because getting an apology is like pulling teeth or trying to send a mission to mars) Like who? You guys ran off everyone of note in GSF other than like me, bill, and occasionally a wild xttz appearance. Seems like Asher’s play is to just do poo poo better and get back to playing eve. Let his actions speak for themselves and if that’s of interest to people ITT they can give it a try. If someone got banned and wants to give GSF a try again they can reach out to our new exec either via PM on these forums, or I can get you hooked up with him on discord. GSF is back to shooting spaceships and there’s no appetite for litigating it over.

So he has on three occasions donned his old eastern euro track suit and raged war on the libs (two corp mails and his epic SA post where he demanded ya’ll apologize to him (come on guys, that poo poo was funny)). He was told in no uncertain terms to muzzle his poo poo or he’d be removed and afaik he has done so.

There are 70something member corps in GSF. They all use the same ESI tool. Admins like Maneck can review ESI compliance for everyone in the goonwaffe group, but can’t, for example, see Karmafleet. Hence the screenshots. The ESI tool was designed primarily for counter intel and recruiting is secondary. Hence the screenshots. There are other tools out there like SEAT that could be used specifically for recruiting but it’s never been that big of a deal for waffe.

I send them a pm giving them 48 hours to fix their poo poo or kick. They never read the PM so usually a kick. Someone who I have to repeatedly tell to keep their poo poo fixed I just start kicking until they do better.

raminasi posted:what was the post So we recently acquired this corp, War Eagle Fleet, who did a speed run through Frat and quit/was kicked for "cultural issues." Then they joined us. They have this finance director, Zhazi, who is basically the krabbiest krab to ever krab. Imagine a dumbed down angry mustache. Anyway, his dumbass evidentally got snagged in a buy order trap. Aside: A buy order order trap is where you take an item that's worth normally, let's say, 1mil isk, and you put up a buy order for... let's say... 250,000. Then you list 3 items for sale at 250,100. The mouse-wheel / macro / botting piece of poo poo that auto-slides his units to be the lowest price will go for one unit lower, thus dumping to the buy order. Clearly you only have to have more units land to your buy order than you list at cheap sell to make a profit. I guess this makes a profit because it's not unusual to see. Anyway, our intrepid krabernaut apparently stumbled rear end over teakettle into one or more of these traps, and posted in the market policy thread asking if buy order traps were goonfucking. Which clearly the answer is no because anyone buying modules to fit ships to fight in space is getting the cheapest modules possible, so I tell him so. He then proceeds to repeat the question with slightly different phrasing like I'm dumb and didn't understand the question. I start digging into the guy, asking some questions. Firstly, I notice that he's authored like 10 threads in S-Mart, all for various krab services, including a lovely buyback service. Secondly, I hear he's also the guy who either stupidly or criminally attempted to purchase steeply discounted citadel cores from the FC of papi bashing fleets. Thirdly, a lot of people were like "gently caress that guy." So at this point I realize I'm dealing with an uber krab attempting to rules lawyer his way into a favorable situation for himself. I proceed to go full off the top rope Atrum where I agressively aggress him in a forceful nonconsensual posting manner. Because that's generally the only way to shut down these turbo krabs. If I'm nice and reasonable they just hatch their next goonfucking scheme. However, if I rip his head off and poop in the hole, he will not ask another question. Then Zhazi's CEO enters the thread. I top rope onto him too, and the rest of the thread lurkers pile in with the whole SA "lurk more" bit which is funny af coming from SNOOO and ASCEE duders. Then Klavas comes in and tells everyone to stfu. The post I was reported to the bee keepers for? quote:I explained it to you perfectly reasonably the first time. Peak passive aggressive rules lawyering. So I talk to a bee keeper for like 30 min, it gets filed under the "saying mean things to me on the internet is not harassment" and just... lol. Anyway hope you enjoyed storytime.

The funny part is while I was writing that post my 4yr old daughter was in the midst of her 4th or 5th rephrasing of a question that basically boiled down to “can I have ice cream?” Hence the leading with the toddler part. But then I was like “why well he could just be stupid” so added the second bit. Key difference between what you and I are doing learnincurve. I’m not “teaching” anything. I’m making it clear shithouse lawyering has no place in the policy thread. If I calmly and clearly respond as an adult, they just hatch another bullshit scheme.

PhilippAchtel posted:Things everyone knows about but no one wants to address simmering below the surface for years only to explode predictably seems to be something of a pattern. There is absolutely nothing good that can come out of letting line members "real talk" on GSF services (which Init can also read) while the alliance execs and diplos are talking through it with them. Actually a lot of harm can come from random person popping their mouth off. I don't disagree with the decision to shut down the thread, though I would have explained why, wouldn't have r/o'd anyone, and promised a more comprehensive response. But maybe we'll get that at the weekend's fireside or kremlin meetings. Definitely worth bringing up there. The second / third order of effect question that I don't see any of you asking is how loving broke is Init? The bad blood between Init and Bastion probably led to the hatching of the plan and the DO NOT USE tagging of the structures however many months ago, but I'd like to believe Shines was aware this wouldn't go over well. Which implies an underlying root cause like they are poor as gently caress, need the cash, and that led to coming up with this quick rich scheme. Or I've been playing Eve too long and I'm tainted with the Sir Molle, Shadoo, Vince Draken, Mittens, xxDeathxx plans within plans machiavellian poo poo and Shines is just an Overwatch loot box chaser like progodlegend and I'm completely overthinking it. andromache fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Sep 17, 2022 |

PhilippAchtel posted:Look, I'm going to "real talk" you here because I actually don't hate GSF or want to see it fail. Actually, I'd really like to see it get its act together. I don't expect you to know this unless you've done coalition level diplo work, but diplomatic poo poo that's not a direct exec to exec conversation is usually weeks and months... not hours and days. So based on the killmail date to the AAD post date, my guess is that CD was very much in the "what the gently caress just happened, gather the facts" phase of things. Given that I've seen variations of this poo poo play out multiple times in my 11 years in illum, I'm going to say that a diplo or admin saw some leaders of Init in the "X Users are Reading this Topic" at the bottom of the thread, and shut that fucker down before some poo poo was said by random line member that caused some damage that couldn't be undone. Probably a smart move, given it wouldn't be the first time that some bill/globby/cryo/troll post actually managed to get under the skin of a space important person, hurt their ego, and complicated the hard work of resolving the problem. Pure speculation on my part, but I've been diplo adjacent long enough to know the playbook, and how autocrats act (cough wibla cough). I've been out all week with one of those sinus infections that have so much pressure you've just got like tears nonstop. Didn't check anything eve-ish until late Thursday or Friday and saw the posts. So calling me an "authority" figure in this instance is a stretch. I have a lot of experience, but everything back to whenever I made that legal but lovely post is just me. Sometimes I've thought about adding a personal opinion disclaimer, but just like Dalael's thing is to copy and paste unattributed reddit posts to snag stupids for laughs, I guess mine is posting my opinions and people losing their minds because somehow I'm the alliance or coalition spokesman instead of just another distinguished poo poo-tier graduate of never not posting.
