On behalf of the Solar Empire community: Howdidudothat, PLEASE STOP!

Quoting Athilis,

Boy this sounds like your talking to your shrink mev. I just want you to post one thing. Did you not say what i quoted? Did you not do what i cited? I want to here you say it. You were on my list way before how made post. You will do 1 of 3 things mev: Not acnowledge this, Not post on this thread again, or say how something else transpired and that I'm blowing it all out of proportion. But even you won't say its all made up. You are more psychiatrically savey than that. All inocent gamer and all. "here to have fun" yeah, too bad your fun is always at another players expense. Don't be Whispering to me anymore mev. I will not be civil again. After reading your posts I got a good gauge on you now and unlike your empty hacking threats, I can drop some psychological nukes on your ass that will have you saying sorry to Mommy and Daddy for all your dirty deeds. You want to see people "grow up", look in the mirror and do it!

your empty threats mean nothing to me, they haven't since day one Athilis. I can't believe at one time I thought you were a class act. You have proven to me that your all but that. I try and remain civil to those that are civil, if I bad mouthed someone or made a comment it wasn't just because it felt like the right thing to do at that moment it was for a valid reason period. I'm not some punk kid that goes around indiscriminately harassing people, that's not my nature. You haven't an inclinge of a clue as to who I am or what I'm about, you know me only as "itsmevic" you do not know the type of person that I am, therefore when you make your threats do your research on someone before hand, like I have on you already.

Where do you live China? I think he has every right to make his own blacklist if he wishes.

The point is, he'd have the right to make a blacklist on his own private forum or weblog, but the Stardock Forums are not public commons. The very concept of blacklists involve defamation. This can lead to unnecessary and preventable legal liability for Stardock. That is why many gaming forums disallow this type of thread altogether.

Its ok - another blacklist page not hosted by Stardock has been created, so itsmevic won't be getting any more blacklisting here by anyone else...

Note that as far as I know, a comment is only defamation if it's false. If it's true then it's not defamation. (Now, that's not the same as being able to prove it or disprove it in a court of law, but the principle is that if something is true, it's not libel or slander.)

Legal niceties are essentially irrelevant in this case: even a frivolous allegation of defamation via a blacklist can cost a company money to resolve. It's a (minor) risk factor that can be completely and cheaply eliminated by enforcing a moderation policy that forbids such discussions. Even diverting the attention of an executive to deal with the legal matter (beyond the initial force multiplier of making the general policy decision) is a wasted expense. That's all.

What - all I said is that someone OTHER THEN ME had created a non-stardock related presence for tracking a Sins blacklist. This means there won't be issues over forum rules here... Simple.

P.S. Nice to see you have reverted to name calling...

*Sigh* All this time spent bitching over various threads about the completly childish topic of a blacklist and subsequent topics on retaliation to the blacklist when you all could just be playing the game and making love to your many large breasted women.

I don't care how a game plays anymore, everyone has pissed someone off whether it be on sins, halo, gears, mario kart or barbie horse adventure online. Just stop making threads like this it's degrading the community, I'm ashamed to be associated with this forum.

The blacklist was already dealt with; as noted there it is not helpful to single players out and ostracize them based on some isloated report or arbitrary criteria. Unless there's some new blacklist elsewhere, there should be nothing more to discuss about that. If you guys want to keep fighting over it, take it private or drop the matter, we won't have it here (or on ICO).

OTOH If you want to make lists giving positive, constructive feedback on other users, that's fine, but make certain to keep it that way; no insults or allegations.

Thank you, a sensable comment and to the point.
