LMAO what a crock. This site was banning people left and right for criticizing these guys when this thing first appeared. CoE was basically being protected by anyone with the ability to ban posters on the forums. I was banned at least 3 times for critical (completely true) comments. I also think at least two of the banned posts were purged.
But now that everything we were saying back then has unfolded its suddenly 'ok' to be critical but fair. LMAO like I said a complete crock.
If I were a conspiracy theorist I would say the interest of ths place has waned as much as anything new coing from these guys has. And with that lack of interest comes lack of feeling the need to worry about 'exclusivity' because it more than likely isnt going to come. Could also take it a step further and say that back then when there was a steady flow of money coming in they could 'sponsor' stuff here (with out a 'sponsor' tag associated) as well as have that 'protection' in the forums for people who stirred the pot a little too hard.
Of course that would be IF I were one of those conspiracy types....
I just know CoE was not a game you could make any critical statements about whatsoever. If you did you got warning and bans and all sorts of crap. I still have a 'medium' warning label under my name from that nonsense and its been almost 3 years I think. I am sure that is also a 'bannable'; offense talking about warnings and bans. But whatever. I still have 5 messages from a certain mod here in my inbox from May 2016 ALL associated with CoE and how I was 'trolling' or 'baiting'. There are also a couple other mods who got in on the act as well but one in particular went out of their way to make sure people got the hint you couldnt talk bad about CoE.
The patterns these guys are following are textbook. Seriously get a clue people.
Posting excessive negative comments or baiting others to respond in a negative manner is considered trolling on the MMORPG.com forums.
That was the post and that was the warning. LMAO THAT post got a warning? There are more but I am sure they will be purged and I will be getting a little vacation but I just wanted to show the complete 180 taken in regards to this game over the past 30 months or so.

I can see why. Your comments add nothing of value to the conversation one way or the other. Kind of like the wall of text you just posted. There's a lot of words but none of it that adds to the conversation in a meaningful way.
@Gdemami do you believe they've blocked mmorpg.com's access because Tim's article hurt them financially?
I have no data to draw such conclusion on.
But if I made a wild guess, no, I do not believe so. How is that even relevant...?
Mmorpg.com has certainly drove quite a lot of people to CoE. And it still could. So why that reaction? Because of hurt feelings over one article or is there something else that I'm missing?

Look, I questioned if a gaming journalist who put money in should be reporting on the game as a general principle, but to call the article yellow journalism is being trollish yourself.
Your dilema about journalist who put money in is silly - the journalist is always invested, he gets paid for what he writes and fact is, this community does not approve articles that provide positive, rational insight, just like you demonstrated.
So should a writer write a positive review and be paid by developers or should he write a teardown and be paid by site that wants to please it's audience?
Nah, my assesment of the article is just accurate.
Like I said above, I do not blame the site, it is understandable from business point of view but once you start being bewildered by reaction your columns have outside of the site, you are losing a perception.
One cannot write a review, positive or otherwise on a game which doesn't actually yet exist.
As Suzie mentioned, more often than not this site is accused of writing overly positive articles by some readers here.
Sure once in a while a more negative tone might be used, especially for a title with an easily demonstrated lack of progress against their own milestones.
As for calling others forum trolls, as if you are one to talk.

I'll agree the post you shared doesn't appear ban worthy, but perhaps taken in context with the two you say were purged (which must have been very onerous) perhaps it better explains the moderators reaction.
@Slapshot1188 and I have quite critical of COE since the early days, openly challenging Caspian here on these forums (he used to visit) back when he said he would deliver this game by Dec 2017, all for a paltry $3M or so.
At no point have I ever received a warning for my criticism nor do I know of slap having any issues despite what some might call his "crusade" for truth and transparency against COE.
Likely, as so often is the case, it is all in how how say it, and even in this situation your posting style comes across as a bit aggressive and emotional.
I suspect you are one of those who might easily be tipped over the (moderation) edge in a heated debate which posters here often recognize and use to their advantage.
Also, there is an art to "gloating" without coming across as too obnoxious, follow our lead.

You have a point here, but look at what happens when a new film is released and so on. It is typical of entertainment media to praise at first as hopeful as the fans are, what happens then rather depends on what type of media outlet we are talking about. If say a film TV review show, they are not going to go back and say, actually it was rather poor and by then it is rather late to do so.
Gaming sites have the opportunity and are expected to see how a game looks in retrospect to launch (more like EA these days). That's where the flaws are far easier to see, I would hope anyone reading previews and indeed reviews realises that. This is particularly true of MMOs and other multiplayer games with progression.
But I do think we could do with less fan hype and less cynicism from everyone about games that are not out yet. They. Are. Not. Launched.
Can someone who supports SBS decision of the said block answers my question here - are we dealing with feelings or there's an actual argument involved. Even a TL:DR would suffice. Thank you.

I feel like this is Slapshot's fault for hurting his developer feelings. Slapshot, apologize to the man so we can directly ask for our nonexclusive access. Or indirectly ask for our exclusive access. Point is I want some form of exclusive access, means someone else doesn't have it. Right? Not sure how Caspien-speak works so I'm grasping at straws.
I agree Slapshot is a huge, huge, super duper meanie but I know deep deep in his heart he is feeling broken and contrite....
meanie? he is nothing close to meanie, he has the damn balls to call out a CEO and pose important questions and ask for literal lies to be explained. Caspian promised the world in 2018, it was the worst damn year, nothing was delivered, not even damn gameplay videos. So yeah, we have a right to demand answers where our money is going!
Seems that Tim's article has perhaps emboldened some to speak up and question. Even in the Exclusive (pay) Access areas:

In the thread on the exclusive access forum, Serpentius said to make all comments here and then seems to have locked the thread. That doesn’t make sense. Much of the issue here seems to be that people who aren’t under NDA don’t know things that people under NDA know, and we can’t tell them. Specifically, we can’t even talk about NDA information here. That hamstrings the discussion that could and should occur among people with NDA access.
People with NDA access have concerns, but different concerns, than those who don’t. Also, because you can get that level of information by higher investment, people with NDA concerns have different stakes. The discussions are different, and should be different.

Whenever there was an article/column slightly positive, reasonable or just having different opinion from site audience, the author/site were immediately called paid shills or w/e name and thus like Suzie said, they attuned with their audience - a toxic community of forum trolls, and so did their articles(can't blame them).
Tim's recent article about CoE is one of them and instead of bearing the consequence of his poor, yellow journalism level, he plays a victim card...which just shows even more lack of his professionalism...
"a toxic community of forum trolls"
Talking about trolls, shouldnt you be running around clicking "LOL" on every post?
How come this person hasnt been banned yet?
The solution to people who post things you disagree with is not to ban them. It's to let them talk so other people can see that what they say does not make sense.
When Captain LOL gives me one on every post I smile and thank him for taking the time to read
But let's stay focused on the thread and not allow us to get sidetracked by a poster or two.

The right thing to do would be to own the criticism and get better. Their attitude and insecurity will kill the project long before bad game design will.
That would be the right thing to do if they had the intention to ever release a fully functioning game for people to play. If however they only care about making dat easy pre-alpha cash and never intend on following through with a fully functioning game, then silencing the dissidents(though he is failing at that) would make sense. Don't wanna impact those sales before you call it quits and taking the money with you.
Staff arguing with members via public forums; just another example of why I and everyone I know don't take this site seriously anymore.
I don't think anyone is arguing anything, but have differences of opinion on the entire issue.
Honestly, we're just gamers with thoughts on things too. I suppose I could make an "anonymous" account so I could post without statements like yours being hurled like weapons, but that's disingenuous and dishonest.
In addition, sometimes people need to be called on their hyperbole and accusations that simply aren't true. Every now and again, enough is enough.
Now, back to the topic at hand which is found in the original post found here:
Nothing except it shows these guys with their promise the world deliver vaporware approach.

But I do think we could do with less fan hype and less cynicism from everyone about games that are not out yet. They. Are. Not. Launched.
There is also the hype factor. Writers are fans of their subject matter in many cases ans they fall into the hype as well. The Disney Star Wars movies are good examples of critics just being so excited they didnt step back and ask the simpler questions. Like after 20 years why in the blue hell did they not reuinte Han, Chewwy, Leia, Luke R2 and 3PO in the Falcon on the screen! How did that basic logical obvious thing get missed?
I think it's a question of fan loyalty. Something that a lot of companies don't feel as a main consideration anymore. It's part of the movement to treat customers like employees who need to managed. So EULAs get longer taking away more and more rights and CEOs going for what for their competitors see as successful, writing off any history they have had with their hard core fans in the process. I see it everywhere, Star Trek, Star Wars, Dr. Who, and all the AAA games around.

You see this with any game. there were people saying the goty picks in eso and ff14 were paid. When you have an article with any criticism you have the fans complaining its too harsh. Look at SC for a second. Has Chris Roberts ever cut this site off because the community is mean or there was one questionable piece?
Its not the community here or one article that is making me question this game, its the choices from the developers and the immature reactions that make me think this game will not launch or fail miserably if it does.
As I say with SC, I hope this game does launch because on paper it is my type of game but my hopes are getting smaller and smaller.
Mmorpg.com has certainly drove quite a lot of people to CoE. And it still could. So why that reaction? Because of hurt feelings over one article or is there something else that I'm missing?
Certainly? I wonder what your certainty is based upon...
Regardless, the 'why' is rather irrelevant. J. Walsh has every right to take the steps he has taken and contrary to what staff here believes, he does not owe them, or anyone else, an explanation or w/e.
The troll article published is a good reason enough, what more is there to talk about?
@Gdemami we get it, you're a CoE fanboy. You like to try and be sly about it, but you're quite-out-of-the-ordinary multiple posts here in this thread has let the cat outta the bag.

Your reactions to most situations is largely unfathomable.
But then again, I'm pretty sure you backed this game, so perhaps not so strange after all.

Its not the community here or one article that is making me question this game, its the choices from the developers and the immature reactions that make me think this game will not launch or fail miserably if it does.
As I say with SC, I hope this game does launch because on paper it is my type of game but my hopes are getting smaller and smaller.
Regardless, the 'why' is rather irrelevant. J. Walsh has every right to take the steps he has taken and contrary to what staff here believes, he does not owe them, or anyone else, an explanation or w/e.
The troll article published is a good reason enough, what more is there to talk about?
