It was us Miranda fans.

Though to be honest, we were actually arguing less about Miranda and more at each other.

That said, I think it's silly how the admins can't handle that.

At least we never stooped to the utterly creepy levels of Tali dolls and chemical composition for Quarian persperation...

Ok. You got us. At least it was written well.

Please, you really think that's the weirdest/worst thing to come out of the character groups?

Wow. Just wow.

It's been month, and you guys still can't manage to discuss stuff without turning into a internet brawl over stupid miniscule crap.

What happened last month? What did I miss?

Bioware offered a new ending dlc, but quickly canned it due to lack of downloads.

Quite sad really, it offerd an expansion on the breath scene and showed shepard reunite with his crew on the citadel.

Citadel DLC was canned?... Yeah right.

Sounds like it's a consistent source of the bizarre and unsettling no matter which camp is involved.

 My god, even a thread just about the chracter forum basically turned into this.


Do you see what's going on here? This is why we can't have nice things!

Oh yeah I forgot other people work themselves up over nothing. This thread explains why it was closed.

Yep, and why it will not be reopened.

There you have it folks, it was closed because it exibited signs of being part of the internet.

If that's the case, you people deserve your lock.

I don't see why they just couldn't have temp/perma-banned the people who were causing the most trouble and let the peaceful fans live in harmony and love.

Because it's quicker to just lock the whole thing

I was joking. And besides. It was on fanfiction.net, not the BSN.

[Cecilia L]

BSN has become such a boring place after the shut down of the character forums and the exile of the IT-thread.

And yet I keep coming here to wallow in boredom and hear the same old rants/contribute to the same old rants...

Really, it's no different than a lot of other forums. For all the crap in the Miranda thread, we kept everything pretty much locked in the thread.

Then the split happened...

I'm just tossing this out (because is was bugging me the entire time I was reading this thread), but Thane was trained by the hanar from the age of six, not eight. And he made his first kill at the age of twelve.

And anybody who doubts his ability to take on Kai Leng needs to watch his intro in ME2 again. The only reason he lost that fight was because he was dying.

That said saying Shep is mediocre at CQC confuses me. This is the same person that lept at the shadow broker and punches/kicks Krogans/Turians.

If anything I'd say the cybernetics in both Leng and Shep would give them a significant advantage of Thane. Especially since he's not exactly in his peak.

Yep, and why it will not be reopened.

I'm sorry Mr Priestly but that is a rather convenient excuse. One user opening a duplicate thread based on personal grievances with a handful of other users is somehow more "bickering" than the entire ending controversy where dissenting threads were created every couple of seconds? I think not, and I don't recall anyone threatening to shut down the Story and Campaign Section. And should we mention the Multiplayer forum and the so-called "nerf wars", particularly around topics of Infiltrators and Tactical Cloak? Did any of those people get locked down and banished to groups? Not to my knowledge.

The difference is you had a use for these things. The MP team almost had their work done for them with everyone and their mother stress-testing weapons and game mechanics and posting about it (not that I'm accusing the devs of not doing their jobs), and as for the ending controversy, well I think we all know how much publicity that generated. The character forum on the other hand drew you no benefit. What's more, once IT served its purpose it got the boot as well.

Regardless, the politics of the situation don't address the fundamental problem of moderation on these forums. Simply put, Mr Priestly, there's not much moderation to speak of. You simply lockdown/ban when it's convenient (ie you're online) and the devil may care about the rest. Why is it that out of that list of mods at the bottom only you, Ninja Stan and RaenImrahl are actually active? I know mods can delete specific threads. I know they can delete specific posts. Yet none of you do. It's just whoops, lockdown, too bad if you were having a nice intelligent discussion before one or two trolls ruined it, have a nice day. Let's not get into which topics you tend to ban, that's a discussion for another time. But despite the fact that many feel that you moderate to the point of censoring via the lockdowns, I say you hardly moderate at all, really moderate as in filter out the undersirable elements without hurting discussion.

And locking down a whole subform is hurting discussion. Despite the organizational benefit of groups I'm sure you're aware of their serious drawbacks, namely segregation and visibility (to say nothing of their technical limitations- not everyone is savvy enough to manually BBcode their replies). Banishment to groups is a sentence of stagnation. I joined the BSN two years ago because I googled Miranda in ME3 and came upon the thread in the character forums. Despite some setbacks and disappointments I have enjoyed my time here overall. Your groups on the other hand aren't as publically visible and I highly doubt they show up on Google the same way. There is now a portion of fans that are potentially being denied the same in I had. And why? Because we can't take care of a few bad apples without purging the whole cart?

This is the Internet Mr Priestly, and giving people a semi-anonymous voice on it practically guarantees you some unsavory results. But that's why we have moderation- to keep that element at bay without, I repeat, without bringing the whole thing crashing down. Blaming a forum closure on people being dicks on the Internet is like blaming an old toilet for leaking- what'd you expect? And a better question is: what did you do about it? Fix it? Or just condemn the whole bathroom?

Sovereign wasn't a romance option so I didn't really care for the subforum.
