So I understand certain people who are banned from the summit for cause are using the sphere to accuse other people of beastiality.

Ah, the wonders of self moderation.

And those who are bothered by said person have all blocked her.  Working as intended.

First, to whomever post is blatantly deleting my posts, could you be a darling and send me the quote of my post via forum mail before deleting it? Muchas gracias.

And that person got ostracized by everyone in the channel, albeit not given much relevance to start with. So I have to correct Norrin, there was no need for the block button even.

My point is, you're kind of barking up the wrong tree, trying to say the Vea incident is something that proves the Sphere is a failed concept where it actually proved the maturity of the people involved in it and its ability to function without the need of any moderation.

Your post wasn't deleted, it was moved to the Catacombs forum. That's how moderation is done on Backstage, except in extreme circumstances.

[mod]To confirm: Except in cases of things like ISK buying spam or porn, all moderated posts are moved to the Catacombs, and generally a post from the mod taking the action will also be attached there with a short explanation of the reason for moderation. We don't really delete posts outright.[/mod]

I don't see why either side is trying to destroy the other.

Those who enjoy the Summit moderation can stay in the Summit happily.
Those who enjoy the Sphere anarchy can stay in the Sphere happily.

We each stay out of each other's hair, and maybe this bickering about the other channel on Backstage can stop. Looking at you Tiberious, Norrin, and Leopold.

[Graelyn]

Seriously.

[Zsaryna Adrelana]

I'm personally more fond of the Sphere than The Summit. Sphere seems a lot more relaxed and there appear to be fewer arguments there. Yes there was a hiccup a couple of days back but that incident only really proved the maturity of most of the role-players involved.

[Silas Vitalia]

So, how we doing?

[Katrina Oniseki]

So, how we doing?

I'm good. Just listening to music and eating some chips. There's a movie on TV but I've got it muted and I'm not really paying attention.

How about you?

So, how we doing?

Personally, the (admittedly) few times that I've logged into the channel, I've been driven to close it pretty quickly. I'm sure the participants are having fun, but it's not the sort of content that I'm interested in. (I will qualify this entire statement by saying I'm not particularly interested in 90% of what the Summit produces, but I'm rarely driven to close the summit in disgust.)

[Anslol]

Sorry but the Summit, while moderated, keeps the RP quality high. Even is I RP Anslo as tired of the same old tired political debates, it's still more interesting than people trying to be edgy or hard core or just general derpness happening. I've kept both channels open and when Sphere IS active, it tends to be...odd. Summit activity is at least engaging.

Sorry :S

Note: I'm not trying to be super critical or YDIW or anything, but if my post IS coming off that way (though I didn't mean for that to happen), I understand if mods Catacomb it.

[Lyn Farel]

In my opinion I have similar experience, for the few hours I play by week... I already find the Summit content boring as hell and not interesting, but sometimes it gets interesting, when characters actually want to have a serious discussion.

It has yet to happen on the Sphere in my experience, which is kind of even more shallow.

Of course as I said, since I do not play a lot, I am probably missing all the good things.

This. Ten times over, this.

[18:12:41] EVE System > Channel default access set to Blocked by Silas Vitalia. This channel will now only accept people on the allowed list.

[Silas Vitalia]

Yup, experiment over.

Essentially just like I said in the IGS:

Conclusions:

1. Lack of moderation was highly successful, and channel occupants seemed to do quite well.

2. This did not translate into interesting content or conversation. Being able to be unfiltered in content and commentary does not equate to interesting or worthwhile content.

Done with this for now.
