Because it pisses me off to see a post close for such questionable and authoritarian raion, the freedom to speak is priceless, especially for such a banal subject. I hope that Zos is one of those who believe in freedom, not censorship. I do not have any illusions, it will be closed too but :

Origin*:
As of today's natch potes, the new Cyrodiil campaigns are still Bahlokdaan, Kaalgrontiid, Yolnahkriin, and Mulaamnir.
This is obviously just a ploy to plant subliminal messages about dragons in our heads so we'll buy more crown crates.

peace to all

    it's not my post at origini, this is simply a wink to the absurdity of this rule but thanks for the remark.

    "Free" speech means that the government cannot censor you, not that a private company has to give you space on their platform to say what you want to say. "Free" speech does not entitle you to "assisted" speech broadcast using other people's resources.

    In any case, unless there's some real humor or legitimate conversational value to it, a useless poll with fake "options" should be shut down.

    I can't even imagine what a cesspool these forums would be without modrration. If that makes me a totalitarian, so be it :D Moderation is a *good* thing.

    There is no such thing as free speech on a private internet forum.

    If you think otherwise, you have no clue as to how free speech works.

    Agreed.

    Its funny, but I highly doubt people like the OP would consent to allowing me to use their private property as a platform to express my personal 'religious' philosophy, but the hypocrites expect companies like ZOS to allow them to do it. And cry foul when they are told not to make useless polls.

    I do think they should choose names the average person can pronounce and can accurately type, if they want to link the campaign names to Elsweyr they should choose names from the Kahjiit Pantheon such as:
    Jone, Jode, Alkosh, Lorkhaj and Khenarthi.

    The dev's literally joked about how Kaalgrontiid was hard to pronounce, it isn't really that important of an issue but why not just choose names which people are going to use.

    Moderation is a *good* thing YES ,but I think that banning petitions is an exaggerated way to control information, this place is a place of exchange by definition, if it banishes the way to get player feedback do not be surprised that the game is so buggy.

    Yeah, because lack of useless petitions is the REAL reason that the game is buggy. I actually weep for the future of the human race when I see stupid crap like this.
