it's the sabbath, friend, and this is the church of star citizen obsessive insanity, and the pope was just banned
The Sabbath is loving Saturday.

You know, the last day of the week... the day God rested?

What I'm saying is humanity is dumb, and almost as bad as Star Citizen.

I don't think two six-hour probations for white-noise posts are indicative of a major problem.

FactsAreUseless, how does it feel to be the most hated moderator on SOMETHINGAWFUL DOT COM? Can you talk us through a day in your life as the holder of this prestigious title?

It's a position I'd like to aspire to, but I just don't know if I have the chops for it.

Because this forum needs moderators. So it has two full mods, Beer4TheBeerGod and Beet Wagon, and one IK, no they will not (g0m). I made g0m an IK because he's IKed some other forums here and there and been really helpful, and Beer and Beet are both new to modding.

The fourth stimpire is an integral part of SC lore.

Currently? Nothing. This "game" is never coming out in a coherent form. What you can see of Star Citizen is all anyone is likely to get, except for maybe more ships.

A year ago (or whenever it was that I came here)? Very little. I still liked the idea, even if I was becoming more disillusioned by the second. I bought in to the kickstarter campaign because of the idea of a new high quality wing-commander type game and the DREAM(TM) of going exploring but actually being able to walk around on poo poo. But by the time I came here I was already p mad at the way things were going.

At this point, for me it wouldn't even matter anymore if they finally did squat out a half decent game. I wouldn't trust CIG as far as I could throw 'em, and the community is one that I have no interest in being even remotely associated with. Anyone that takes a look at the SC community, then compares it with the ED community, should be able to see a huge difference. And I only recently started with ED (with some trepidation, after having been an SC backer).

Listen sir we didn't get where we are today by stopping people from white noise posting. Quarter of a million post long threads don't grow on trees ya know and if we stopped to think whether we should probate people every time they post the word "Paaaaaarrrrrppppp" across 17 consecutive replies then we'd be wasting precious time that could be spent posting.

Oh my god this thread is over 250,000 posts long

Anybody who buys into SC now literally deserves to have CIG siphon all their money off of them through dumb microtransactions and the inevitable game subscription they're going to implement. I have zero sympathy for these people any more. It's never been easier to get a refund and if you're not doing that then you're lightspeed stupid.

This thread is over 6000 pages. Why probate on what is basically the corner stone of the hilarity of Star Citizen? White noise is a piss poor excuse but I guess it's great to have you back to ruin the thread and try to get it closed again.
