Depends on which country you are driving in.

Personally I am happy they delete posts. Some people honestly post specifically to hurt and piss other people off. i don't know why they do so or what they get out of it, but i'm sure we've all seen it. The ID forums after their revamp was UGLY. Every nasty troll coming over to harass the IDs about the stat migration change - like it was their decision or something. My report finger got a workout then.

Also when the AFK nonsense on the dancer and musician forums was at its height I used to report posts almost every day. It was much nicer to have them simply deleted then have to look at a page of locked posts. Not every forum moves as fast as the Ranger forum. A locked post could sit on the ID forum for over a week before falling off the page. Then you get mad every time you look at it.

P.S. I actually thought it was hilarious that Oreet's thread got locked. You do know that GarVa has quite a few entertainer characters right? Maybe it was a secret strike for the h**t side.

I completely disagree with your definition of ownership of SWG. How can SOE NOT have the right to shut this down whenever they want (and treat the forums however they want)? What law is in effect that says they are obligated to keep this game going as long as they have customers? I did not accept a EULA that said they had to make me happy. I accepted a EULA that said they have the right to run the game however the wish.

SOE owns SWG (and the forums) and has every right to administer them in any way they see fit.

I wonder what would happen if one of us were to click on that "Report abuse to a moderator" link on a Red Name's post.

Hmm...

if we reported GarVa's post as trolling and locking Oreets thread unneccisarily...and GarVa was the mod who saw it...could GarVa mod his own post?

I think my head just exploded.

I know you are kidding bud, but I want to make sure people remember that there were more posters in that thread than Oreet. If I recall correctly, there was some (not Oreet) trolling in there.

Oh, and I triple dog dare any of you to report a mod/dev .

I almost reported Garva (or was it Virrago? whomever) on the locking of Oreet's thread, simply to say I thought it was an overreaction to his humor. I realized that some of the stuff in there could have been trolling though, and could see where some people might have taken things the wrong way. There wasn't any point in pushing it so I didn't.

While I don't begrudge mods locking threads (even if I disagree with it, they have so much to do that they have to make a snap decision), I do find deletion distateful. But I'm not the mod and they have their own rules to play by.

The reason why I posted here was not because of Oreets post but of another post that was deleted. A post showing off a new sig. Is that trolling? Just because it's off topic doesn't mean it should be deleted otherwise I would never have learned of chip bunty, monkeys, ranger hats, etc.

tum te tum...

So anyhow, there's these broken traps, and does anybody know if the changes on TC affect ranger in anyway?

Oh yeah, and the scorpion kliknik trophy is actually named for a painted spat. how weird is that?

that's why i asked the question. I realized it was off topic, that's why i wondered if someone had flamed or something before it got deleted. I see the reason for locking it, it was off-topic and uneccessary, but i didn't see any reason for it to be deleted.

As for mods. They usually do a very good job. I remember the AS forums were so bad after the changes to AS were announced for the CURB that i couldn't read. Here i wanted to get info on the changes and i had to sift through a ton of garbage posts. Then more got deleted and AS's started screaming censorship and flaming devs... uugghghh it was a nightmare. I bet 100 posts got deleted in the span of a week. So the forums mods do a good job and i am appreciative, even though i still disagree with locking oreet's post. ((hmm oreet's and my post were locked, i think it's a bothan conspiracy, does Garva have a bothan Entertainer?))

Nerf the Bothans!!!

I'd say nerf the Rodians, but we all know they're gimped from the start. Poor widdle buggies. Can't tell left from right. Attracted to bright, shiny things. Shoot first and miss...I mean, I'd suggest the Bothans start a war but there's really no need.

Well, over in the Smuggler forums we've recently had a couple off topic posts deleted. The odd thing about them was that they were both dealing with Stargate SG-1.
