  1. From the official STO chat room www.startrekonline.com/chat :
  2. [23:20] <deathkittin> my post got deleted
  3. [23:21] <deathkittin> for saying that it was slightly "bad taste"
  4. [23:23] <deathkittin> names like "Kwoance" and "zaaerus" ....
  5. [23:24] <deathkittin> I would've thought it was goldspam in my mailbox if I hadn't opened them
  6. [23:26] <+Cryptic_Diamonds> do you mean in IRC or forums?
  7. [23:26] <deathkittin> I was replying to a council member
  8. [23:29] <deathkittin> do they work at cryptic or are they part of the same atari marketing team that is responsible for this mess?
  9.  
  10. [..][no reply on that, probably not allowed to answer such questions.. then later (first 8 preceding lines below included for context):]
  11.  
  12. [23:40] <Spazz> So he created a thread about his podcast, and linked to the contest.  The thread was then edited and locked for outside linking.
  13. [23:40] <STOdude> one can then wonder how he should have promoted this sanctioned contest in the forums without violating the rules
  14. [23:40] <deathkittin> Or have a serious discussion about game politics without referring to real world political examples in any way...
  15. [23:41] <Spazz> Exactly.
  16. [23:41] <STOdude> i can only think of a convoluted way and that is to have a riddle which leads the user to construct the URL without actually containing any links
  17. [23:41] <STOdude> quite convoluted
  18. [23:42] <STOdude> i say just steer clear of the forums until they get their moderation sorted
  19. [23:42] <+Cryptic_Diamonds> spazz I'm goign to ask your friend to wait till monday
  20. [23:43] <+Cryptic_Diamonds> monday because i'm the only one at the office right now
  21. [..]
  22. [23:47] <deathkittin> [23:43] <+Cryptic_Diamonds> monday because i'm the only one at the office right now
  23. [23:47] <deathkittin> so these people do not work for cryptic
  24. [23:47] <Spazz> Zing!
  25. [23:47] <deathkittin> logically it follows then that they're the same atari lot aren't they that caused this diaster in the first place...
  26. [23:48] <STOdude> deathkittin: thats pretty clear. the only people who actually *work* at cryptic have that tag in their names
  27. [23:48] <STOdude> the others are just randoms who happen to have mdoeration rights
