The stupid official European AOC forum

This is going too far, i suggest using an alternative forum for AOC rather than using the official one where any discussion is locked by a power trip mod. Anything posted against FC gets locked and anything posted to make them looks good is left alone. Watch out from using the official forum cause it's not a good place where to gather infos about the game. Thanks.

Well, er., uh, yeah. Its called an official forum for a reason, and that reason is to promote the game.
They've got no reason to let discord and disagreement stand on it, there's no benefit to them. Think of official forums as marketing tools and you'll understand their purpose.
Which is why I like MMORPG.com, where you can voice your displeasure and for the most part remain unmoderated.

In whitch 3rd world contry do you live? Peoples as peoples and customers as paying customers have the right to say what they want, have you ever heard about the freedom of speech? It wont be some emopunk forum what is gonna cut words.
You have the right to your opinion and on they have the right to shut you up, it's THERE forum.

lol typical dumb dumb person on here again ok so you wouldint want the mods to ban me if i talked abour racist stuff?
I am sort of glad that the idiots get so swiftly cut down, but it does get a bit sterile in the end I must admit. Guess that's why I'm posting more here than on the AoC boards.

Umm. Go look me up on the official forums. Notice 90% of my posts from launch are posts that should have been modded. Heck even today i get away with posting stuff i honestly shouldn't from time to time.
Oh well. Maby next time you should make a construcitve post instead of WAHHHHHH DADDY STOLE MY TOY!!!! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
That should help you 120%

Actually, on a forum that is OWNED by the very company who runs the game, you don't have a right to do whatever you want on it.
There are terms and conditions that you agree to when you sign up and log into it.
It's Funcoms property, they can do with it how they please. And neither you nor I can do anything about it.
Don't like it? Then don't post.
Beside, "freedom of speech" is a phrase that is often overused by the deliberately ignorant.
Its like claiming how no one actually owns land on this planet and therefore you should be able to let your dog crap on someones lawn whenever you like.

freedom of speech? You did NOT just say that modding your posts on their forums is a violation of freedom of speech? BWHAHAHAHAHA... listen, kiddo - start posting again after you take a few history corses and learn exactly what freedom of speech is.
No wonder these game owners do what they want since their players are such idiots. I pay for that game and i use the forum, if you don't like the way your paying players use it then shut it down. Making a forum doens't mean you can do what you want, but well, what kind of replies do you expect from trash players? The forum is their so they can do what they want. Fucking ignorants.
if i maded a forum i could do whatever the fuck i want ban kick whoever i want LOL free speach on the internet my god the nubs these days
Think of an official game forum as private property. You walk onto it an trash their stuff and you will be penalized. You obviously have no idea how the internet works. You want to bitch about the game come here. Don't expect a warm welcome though. These are shark infested waters.
Total self-pwnage? :-p
Playing the "freedom of speech" card is just sad. Try to look at yourself instead and utilise a little understanding and collaboration instead of confrontation and pretenting to be oppressed by some totalitarian regime.
Got a linky, forum topic, or user who posted the topic for me? I'll take a look into why it was locked. Other than that, the rules are pretty simple and standard among all forums. No flaming, no trolling, and etc.

Your forum mods are ridiculously out of control. Don't ask for info as if this were some one off situation you might look into and resolve.

So you dont want any action taken, or it even looked into you just want to bitch. Gotcha.
I think famine is being nice coming here and being willing to look into it for you, however, your being an ass by not even trying to get an issue fixed....assuming there is even an issue at all.

wow....sounds....familiar......some how.....
but the difference between FC and (clears throat) other forums......is that FC might actually read the posts...and take action where flamers are present......
"This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to. Relax....."
Official forums... Yeah they are there to serve a purpose.
Most (if not all) are run and funded by the PR-dept. budget - What do you expect?
Some decisions may seem strange on the official AoC boards but hey... Most of their marketing ethics seem rather weird in hindsight.
The decision to let 20+ people post derogatory/imflammatory responses towards a poster expressing mild annoyance/questioning the game while most negative posts get locked within an hour/3-5 responses does seem strange and quite unique to AoC official forums.
Personally I dropped the official forums much sooner than I cancelled my sub. The euro-mod may plaster kittens all over the place - Does not mean she is not a (something bad) with a vengeance.
And yes - I skip as soon as I see this Amorey person posting
We dont need casuals in our games!!! Errm... Well we DO need casuals to fund and populate our games - But the games should be all about "hardcore" because: We dont need casuals in our games!!!

I vote that this thread be renamed to "Stupid gets banned from official AoC forum and comes to mmorpg.com"
The entire thread was just a troll/flame bait waiting to happen... Or the information asked for (by the funcom rep) would have been given.
At least from my perspective not many MMO's have a rep show up here asking for that kind of info and appear to be willing to look into it.
By not giving the info and giving the response that was given.
It just makes it look like:
1) There was no thread and the person was just trying to create drama "here".
2) They know why the thread was closed and/or deleted etc and for obvious reasons don't want to link it.
Anyone who was upset about what is alleged to have happened (thread closed with no violation) would have at least provided what was asked for... It at least gives the appearance that what was claimed might have happened and actually gives a chance for explinaiton... fixing an issue if one exists etc... or to prove your point if you actually have one.
You pay for the game? So what, numbnuts? They can still ban you for breaking the rules in the game, just like they can and will ban you for breaking the rules on the forums. When you made an account, you agreed to abide by their rules and their rules are for the most part the same rules most, if not all, official forums use. If you're too stupid to realize that everything you do, in life an on the internet, can be punished if you don't obey the rules and act like the dimwit that you are now, then live in the shack in the middle of the woods. Also, try yelling out "bomb!" in the middle of an airport and then tell me how far your "freedom of speech" extends. Man you're stupid.
I sense a lot of irony is this post or...
would that be tyranny?

Guys give the OP a break. You know, and I know you know, that the AoC forums is probably one of thee worst forums ever to exist on the internet. The forums are a lot like the game itself. Corrupt mods and GMs, mass censorship, forced discussions, altered posts..ect I have seen many times the abuse of mods on those forums, and if any of you are not tools, you would see it too. I ran a 200+ person guild in AoC back when it was partially popular, one of my officers was banned from the forums for pointing out a hidden nerf that was not in the patch notes after a recent patch. I was with a group of guild members when we saw a GM helping another guild farm gold and resources. One of our guys took a ton of SS's of a GM actually joining in, using their abilities to help cheating within the game for that guild. He put it on the forums and was then banned from the game as well as the forums. Anyone remember the incident where a GM tried to cyber with a player because they thought the player was a girl? That wasnt any of our guild members, but it goes to show that the people running Funcom and running the game AoC are clowns. They are corrupt, lazy, and go on random power trips. The forums are just another area in which shady actions are taking place.

Then please provide some proof for those claims. No one is above the law per say, not even myself. If there are sources which proves that actions are being taking that are not within the guidelines of the forum then I will look into it and correct the matter. However, I need somewhere to start first.
