If you check some of Koster's older conference presentation stuff on his personal site, he makes quite clear his opinion that (paraphrasing) user forums in general are geared mostly toward paying lip service to the notion of appearing to include the player community in the design and development process. His words, not mine. We joke about the irony of that in the Senate occasionally. But that doesn't make me better than you.

Sure it does. Badgersmaker gets away with massive flame and troll frenzies against players, who if they fight back, get banned.

Been there, done that.
Him and I have gone around more times then I can count... no doubt about it he is full of shit. He is one of the ones that needs to be fired.
I was perma banned for the post: "What other emotes would you like to see in the game" -- by some GS which by the way was just a stupid post -- the whole game is going down the crapper and this guy wants to know if you want a new emote.
I suggested that they add one known as the "SHEEP" emote... to be able to follow anything or anyone without question.
Needless to say I got a PM then the ban for it..

i did last year of nov 15th
Nasedoo: You said traders would get a revamp under my supervision.
Darth Lord Blixtev: I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.
I got Suspended 3 times in my time with the SOE forums, here are the reasons they gave me:
1'st because I had the term "WE WANT A NON-J3D-3Y3 SERVER" in my PA forum tag.
2'nd for excessive trolling.
3'rd for telling people to quit SWG.
This was all just before JTL when we were asking for the CRUB to take place before JTL was released... In the NGE period I never recieved a suspension, banning, or warning (Guess I'm lucky).
EDIT- Finnaly remembered my complet PA Tag....
--When you resubscribe to SWG, an 18 yearold Stripper finds Jesus, gives up stripping, and moves with a rolex reverend to Hawaii. --In MMORPG's l007 is the opiate of the masses. --The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence! --CCP could cut off an Eve player's fun bits, and that player would say that it was good CCP did that.
I've had 3 accounts banned. One of the banned because somebody cursed in a thread I replied to.
Second time a patch locked me out of game long enough to loose all my vendor items, I was banned for starting too many threads trying to get help on it before that happened. Idiots, told me to file in game ticket to save my items and I kept TELLING THEM I CAN'T GET IN GAME TO DO IT OR I WOULD OF! Lost all my uber armor and ship resources worth over 200 million easily. CSRs said I was out of luck, should of maintained my vendors while SOE had me glitched and locked out. Uhm, how am I supposed to do that when locked out of game and CSRs wouldn't help me before or after I lost my stuff due to SOEs screwups.
Third time was for flaming the 3 letter project in another thread. I said it probably be at least a year before the 3 letter project was anywear near playable, and it would be the same as before if not worse than when SOE had it since it would be full of invite only elitists with the same bugs we forgetten about all running I Win combat marcos.
SOE is like Nazi Germany on the forums. Say what they like or be executed.
Banzia from Intrepid was the king... he was the first acocunt-ban from a forum post.

It sounds great, so great in fact, I pitty those who canceled - Some deluded SWG fanboi who pities me. I don't like it when you say things. - A Vanguard fan who does too. 09f911029d74e35bd84156c5635688c0
