From the official STO chat room www.startrekonline.com/chat :
[23:20] <deathkittin> my post got deleted
[23:21] <deathkittin> for saying that it was slightly "bad taste"
[23:23] <deathkittin> names like "Kwoance" and "zaaerus" ....
[23:24] <deathkittin> I would've thought it was goldspam in my mailbox if I hadn't opened them
[23:26] <+Cryptic_Diamonds> do you mean in IRC or forums?
[23:26] <deathkittin> I was replying to a council member
[23:29] <deathkittin> do they work at cryptic or are they part of the same atari marketing team that is responsible for this mess?
[..][no reply on that, probably not allowed to answer such questions.. then later (first 8 preceding lines below included for context):]
[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.
[23:40] <STOdude> one can then wonder how he should have promoted this sanctioned contest in the forums without violating the rules
[23:40] <deathkittin> Or have a serious discussion about game politics without referring to real world political examples in any way...
[23:41] <Spazz> Exactly.
[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
[23:41] <STOdude> quite convoluted
[23:42] <STOdude> i say just steer clear of the forums until they get their moderation sorted
[23:42] <+Cryptic_Diamonds> spazz I'm goign to ask your friend to wait till monday
[23:43] <+Cryptic_Diamonds> monday because i'm the only one at the office right now
[..]
[23:47] <deathkittin> [23:43] <+Cryptic_Diamonds> monday because i'm the only one at the office right now
[23:47] <deathkittin> so these people do not work for cryptic
[23:47] <Spazz> Zing!
[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...
[23:48] <STOdude> deathkittin: thats pretty clear. the only people who actually *work* at cryptic have that tag in their names
[23:48] <STOdude> the others are just randoms who happen to have mdoeration rights
