EVE Online Dev Tracker

Looks like you guys are having fun this morning!

Just to clarify, ordinary users are not getting moderation powers. The ability to re-title and re-categorize was perhaps the peak of that as far as discourse goes - and I’ve just disabled this default since it’s likely to cause more headache than benefit. No non-ISDs will be reviewing flags or anything along those lines.

I’m working on a proper posts to explain how things work, there really isn’t as much room for abuse here as you guys may fear. At this point trust level 3 is effectively just a shiny veteran badge unless I decide to re-enable the wiki post option (which may be useful for keeping updated guides, corporation lists, etc).

As was pointed out above this isn’t anything super ground breaking or new, you can see it ...

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll have a look tonight.

Whoops, sorry for the spam - I’ve disabled some of the worst offenders for the notifications. Missed the fact that these were per event - and apparently discourse decided now would be a great time to read through everyone’s history and grant them retroactively.

Clicking them gives a 404 now because I took those badges out back and… dealt with them.

We’re not going to define that for you, that’s up to the individual. But having a cap just means that someone can’t ‘like’ every post they see and may need to think about those they feel deserve it most.

If we like a post by accident or just find posts more deserving of our limited likes a few minutes later, can we go back and “unlike” the first post and get that like back if we’ve hit cap, say? or will we still not be able to “move” that like to another post at that point?

I’m pretty sure you can remove it and put it on a new post. That said I’m hoping to find a spot where it doesn’t feel like you’re having to constantly think about this.

I’ve just tweaked the cap to be a bit more forgiving. Base number is now 20 and it goes up from there with trust. If people still feel they can’t like all those posts that really deserve it after feeling it out for a couple days at this level I can increase it again.

An indicator would be great, I’ll see if there’s anything in the system for that.

Trying out a few changes to the forum - you can read about them in this post: Please Wait 9 Hours to Give More Likes

Apologies for the confusion (and the impact on this thread, please don’t let it stop you) - it went live a bit earlier than intended.

The largest structures, the ones that are 10% the price, are structures that are generally not spammed and are also already enticing targets, so there’s less of a need to incentivize their destruction.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, it is appreciated. We’ll see how things go for a bit and I’ll make tweaks as needed.

OK, crunched through 600 replies. Thanks for the feedback everyone.

Key takeaways and clarifications

• Player made Quantum Cores do not have the desired effect as they will be industrialized and built on site with no added logistics risk. Nullsec alliances will now have to distribute Quantum Cores across space from the NPC station where they bought them. A new risk for them.

• More destruction of Citadels will mean more demand for industrialists

• The Quantum Cores are bought and sold at the “same” price, so as to not create an arbitrage. If you find a Quantum Core floting in space, its guaranteed ISK, not subject to market prices. Like blue loot.

• We made changes to Wardecs fairly recently, and if Highsec wardeccing becomes oppressive, based on data, not anecdotes, we would certainly want to act

• That said, any corporation that owns a structure today can be wardeced because we don’t want struct...

If there have been over a certain number of approved moderation flags within the last few months then you may be gated out of trust level 3 by the algorithm. It can still be earned, but takes time. It can also be lost if forum activity dips or anything along those lines.

Moderators have tools to control this,...
