AVZ Discussion 2022

[Azzler]

Seriously, what a fucking joke.
We went near 1450 pages of the forum having a good vibe and now we’re being dictated how to post, what to post, where to post..

The best thing about this forum was it was full of normal people, posting lots of great information/content.. we’ve all been guilty of swearing, saying dumb shit but the great this was people would shake their head, have a laugh and be over it the next day and then it was usual business.

Yes Bray, what we had here was pretty fantastic, even had a family vibe to it. Not just information sharing, but a sense of solidarity amongst the members.

We support each other as best we can. But they want to destroy that, they hate that.
What we had here has been jelously despised by the kinds of people we see in other places, the very nasty kind.

This is their goal, to disrupt, damage, and cut down what we had.

For now I can only advise we do what Zeebot recently told us to do.

Lets hope this get's resolved soon.
If not, then it'll be like you say, a new home somewhere else.

Apologises for the double post, out in middle of the scrub with 1 bar of 3g. Definitely not a Chinese imposter

Liar! We don't get mobile coverage in the bush in Australia.

Not Who - he's on first base.

So the SilentOne is Nigel's sister, but she doesn't know why Nigel went AWOL?

Looks like a real cosy family affair, doesn't it?

Isn't there a pilot, bus driver, motorbike rider (I don't like Uber drivers, I reckon they are all Taliban, not scrutinised by the taxi board), who can enlighten us?

Or did Nigel just shot through to Rome and have a yarn with the pope, as he has some influence in the DRC.

I reckon FT swapped his Casio G Force watch, during the Pope's visit, for the 500 gr. 24crt. RoleX blob, he flashes around now.
The pope highly likely gave it to him for services rendered.
The watch has to be seen as a tool to give left handed backhanders.
The impression this monster leaves behind makes it clear you fell out of favour with the president.

Anyhow, next time Nigel shoots through, he better let his sister know what the fuck is going on, so she doesn't have to go around pimping herself to get some info.

Noticed the MoM and the Minister of Hydro-Power visiting China with FT form 24-29th May. I wonder if the worlds largest undeveloped hard rock lithium deposit will get a mention after the renegotiation of existing contracts is done? Hard to imagine it will just be totally ignored considering the "claimed" level of Chinese investment.

They want the cobalt business up and going again and they want to get paid for the missing money, they took Jules A also with them with his calculator.

They said it got nothing to do with Lithium, but you gotta be an absolute idiot, if you think the Chinese will not side track and bring Lithium with those arseholes Ozzies up.
They probably get some Chinese girls playing Chinese classical music to get them in the right mode.

 

[zeeb0t]

Absolute bollocks Zee. They are still here, all Characters of the one bad actor, in fact many of us thought they had been dealt with only to find them back now with another campaign. Read the post above yours please, this place has turned to a cesspit due to a certain douche gaming the inadequate system you have in place mate.

Not true. I do believe this “inadequate” system you speak of has in fact just permanently banned the account you speak of. While I can appreciate you desire an immediate action, the system we have today seeks to educate first. But if someone clearly does not wish to learn, it moves to first reduce their capacity, and if they persist, to then ban permanently.

Hoping CATH/CATL genuinely supports us & CATH participation with AVZ helps CCP get Z & Cong off our backs? IMO.

Sorry Zeeb0t, I have to concur with TDITD and Berabakan
This line in TDITD's post: 'They are still here, all Characters of the one bad actor, in fact many of us thought they had been dealt with only to find them back now with another campaign.' is absolutely true.

I know you have banned an account, if you believe that poster was the culprit, I hate to tell you you are incorrect.
As TDITD mentions 'They are still there'.

I hope this helps.
I will however make you aware, if this BS continues and is not corrected there are other media platforms.

Bad actors will always try to penetrate and funny enough attempt to change the platform into something more suitable for their narrative.

I am writing this post not because I like to, I actually hate writing this post, but to try to get the dark forces who willingly are trying to destroy this platform removed.
I don't know what their real motives are, but they are very destructive.
This thread was all about info sharing and having some fun, not about indoctrination, or you will jump how I want you to jump, otherwise I moderate you.

Cheers
A very pissed of cruiser51, because what has been allowed to happen.
The attempt to fragment this forum is a classic example.

If that is true then that's great news!!!
It has taken a longer time than many of us here have wanted and in that time we may have lost a great contributor in @MoneyBags1348 .

But it is definitely a case of better late than never and you have my gratitude and thanks for doing so before more people left.

*Edit*
The culprit has more than just one user name so hopefully they all have been dealt with.

"allowed to happen" is not really fair, I think. All reported posts are reviewed. The thing is, on a forum where debate is not only allowed, but encouraged, it is not always a simple thing for myself to referee a debate I know nothing at all about (I don't follow the AVZ stock). Further, the public forums are a matter of public record and it is actually illegal for me to interject on a basis of picking a 'side' as the regulations clearly imply that would likely be seen some kind of endorsement on my part. And I am not financially licensed to offer such endorsements, whether I mean to or not. Instead, I must have strict rules and require the community to vote for those who break them. I think what you expect from me is an active referee with participant level of understanding or opinion. But I cannot offer that. Instead, I have implemented a level of community moderation of sorts, backed with an AI and automated on restrictive controls and banning, which both lead to permanency.

However I must stress, that this forum offers more than just a forum where you must respond to someone you consider a troll. For example, you can setup private "groups" via the messaging system where you get to choose your audience by inviting them to the conversation...

Finally, if you believe the person has other accounts - do send me a message. I did check for matching accounts but nothing came up. However, I can compare other things if you point me in that direct. Please message me, though, as I don't really enjoy taking over threads with moderation topics.

Suspect CATH/CATL is the fall back position for CCP, ie only use them when/if Z etc are out of the game

Not really sure who is banned as there are that many missing posts that the thread is hard to follow.
The posts of the two principal culprits are still available.

Seen more trolls this week than a Norwegian potholer would see in a lifetime.

BTW In my post that was moderated yesterday, you quoted two thirds of it back at me - so either you are selectivly using the post or it was altered by third party before you saw it.

If you had read it in it's entirety, you would understand it was a joke aimed at nobody in particular.

I don't know which, beacause as we discussed, moderated posts are not available to the writer to work out what their sins were.

I have posted this publicly, as you closed the discussion immediately after moderation.

BTW your message informing me of the moderation has since been removed.

What the hell is going on?

A.I. = Artificial Ignorance

 

[Azzler]

Hoping that's an end to the saga, thankyou @zeeb0t

One of the more damaging and silent attacks was the ammount of posts being removed from moderation.
A few people mentioned it was happening, I had it happen but I suspect it has been very wide spread.

The warning tells people they will be BANNED if they break the rules again.
So we have a place where many people are suddenly afraid to post, or at the least, hesitate to post.
That's why it's a bit of a ghost town compared to a few weeks ago.

I did go too far with some personal attacks over the weekend, and that's fair to have that moderated, but it feels like you can't even call people out for bullshit now.
This morning I erased about half a dozen posts before I made them, for this very reason.

If it's easy enough to make other accounts here after getting banned, then that silent reporting attack behaviour will continue from the bad actors.
Perhaps accounts that are doing lots of reporting posts, or reporting historical content, can be looked into, in future.

Please send me a new message and we can discuss the particular post there. If it was automatically moderated via AI the first time around, I may not have gotten around to manually review it as yet. Also let me know who these other people are in that message. Thanks!

It's probably a tough gig and a fine line to negotiate so thank you for your efforts @zeeb0t in providing the best and most decent forum you possibly can for people to connect and share their AVZ information with that all important human and personal touch

Cheers!

ptlas - Can you explain your thinking here? Do you think CATH/CAT|L will start to undermine AVZ? Cheers
