Would that also mean that those who are talking about some Skype convos should bring prooves or STFU and be...moderated out?

OH GOD OBI U JUST DOOMED A HALF OF TEH FORUMS!!!111 YYYYYYY

Srsly, forums are lack of moderation these days.

I don't understand.

For my 5 accounts sub money, I would like them to be working on the game not wasting time patrolling the forums like you apparently are.

They are supposed to be presenting the entire player base with their "package".  I'd like to see how it measures up to our expectations

in the mean time leaving us free to make a mockery of AC's rules

True Pros make a Podcast to influence the Devs minds, 
The rest of you guys are Hacks

PS. I got my Highways & stopped playing b4 they came in & have never used them! ...... Irony much ?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by giving proof of Skype batphoning, Styx did make his logs available for everyone after all. They were both entertaining to read and a very damning proof.

But like everything else, rules are only enforced when enough whine is created about it. It's up for debate why Jelan (and others) have received countless temporary bans from the forums, when the rules clearly state:

Failure to abide the above forum rules will result in a warning or a temporary banishment from the forums. Repeatedly violating the rules will result in a permanent banishment from the forums.

Rules should apply equally for everyone.

That's a matter of opinion. 

It's a matter of fact that the DEVs patched the game multiple times in a row in what appeared to be direct responses to M2S whine threads which hurt us (CIR and our allies) and the last time without warning that would have left our Gamma base completely exposed which they were well aware of.  It's also true that if you sit on IRC you see a lot more than is posted on the forums in the News section.

It's a matter of fact that Styx's logs were very hard to read and then think that there was any chance of fair play, and that at least one of the DEVs back in those days was playing on the winning side in intrusion events while Styx was leader and getting duped items, that's something I experienced first hand while on Norhoop in various alliance corps there.  While M2S got their assets wiped, no one who was losing assets to their duped items for months and months and crying foul (myself among them) got anything back.  There is probably a lot more that I don't know about because I started in Feb 2011 which was not Beta like so many of the highest EP vets who are all over 800K EP at this point (they also got 40k starting EP not 20k like you and me ). 

However, having said that, this above section is all ancient history.  The DEVs have proven willing to listen to the broader player base since that point on multiple occasions (obviously, not all).  They have publicly dealt severe punishments in what, in my personal opinion, has been an even handed manner even if I don't agree with all of them.  I personally have 5 active subscriptions and I wouldn't play if I felt like my enemies were getting completely unfettered access to stack the deck against me.  Trying to influence the direction of the game how you want it though, whether that is to your own personal advantage or not is something that a lot of people actively try to do on the forums and on IRC and is pretty much part of the game and has been since the beginning.  I prefer the AC of today to the one a year and a half ago.

Your opinion is invalid.
