CCP removed my signature w/o explanation

[bugme143]

My former signature on the EVE forums:
Never forget: CCP Seagull and other Devs LIED to everyone during Fanfest and EVE Vegas: "Multiboxers have nothing to worry about"; and "Nothing's changing regarding multiboxing".
If CCP is willing to lie about that, what's next?


The lovely warning I received: http://puu.sh/eF3Qb.png

It was deemed that I was posting something "... which are perceived as pornographic, excessively gruesome, or otherwise inappropriate and not teen rated..." and I received a warning.

I went through the entire policy regarding forum moderation and what is / isn't allowed, and I can't really see where I violated it, even if I were to take the loosest definition of some of the words here that would account for my signature getting changed and other posts left alone.

“When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say.”I wonder what CCP fears....

oh man.... isnt that interesting...

paging Noisy, I am sure he will look very long and hard into this issue

[Dadjitsu]

it gives a reason, your signature is inappropriate, you cannot go around calling the company and devs liars and expect them to do nothing about it.

your lucky its just a warning

[Ughmahedhurtz]

Are you saying that they would be wrong to remove the sig and give you a warning for talking shit about the company on their own forums?

[bugme143]

I stated two absolute facts that were told to dozens if not hundreds of people. The guy who first brought T20 to CCP was also ridiculed and attacked by CCP for calling out CCP.

Want a drink sir, in my fine establishment? no you cant shit on the floor - i know i told you i'd fix the toilet - sir you can not poop on the table even if there isn't another toilet - please get out... I told you 2 months ago we're working on the toilet issue!

"its my bar, even a shitty one without a toilet - i can still make you leave as its my bar"

:D and that sig was inappropriate even though true - as it openly attacks ccp-, i'm suprised it was up that long to begin with.. but nolak, this is a fight you cant win...
its fighting a war through their own forums, hence why would they let you? They have nothing to win

edit: But to be honnest, i'd just reply that there is no inappropriate language, no ascii art, no signature graphics or links in the sig to begin with? I

If anything I'm surprised they let it stand for how long it did... about a month or so. I don't see how telling the truth can be construed as an attack, unless they don't want people to remember because of an agenda. I've been sitting here with one of those massive buckets of popcorn you can get from the movie theatre that can feed a Texas extended family, with cousins, watching everyone cry about how the ISBoxer is still in the belt or doing whatever. I was there day 1 saying "This will not fucking work" and now I get to say "I told you so". Seems CCP's salty about it.

edit: They also banned me from touching my signature. Very salty.

[bugme143]

I think we can all agree that all ISBoxers are multiboxers, no? A certain CCP dev closed my tickets telling me that I hadn't read the original post on the forums and thus it was "rumor mongering". Having multiple witnesses confirm to me that they too heard CCP Seagull does not a rumor make. I'm currently a student in the criminal justice department, and if you talk to 2+ people regarding an issue and 2+ confirm that they did indeed hear the suspect say "X", it's no longer considered a rumor. Anyone taking bets as to what else CCP will start ret-conning?

e: Should also mention I was unable to rate his response.
