Is there some sort of posting restrictions here? Are the forums buggy? I’ve been trying to share a tiny story of CIG moderation, but your forums are eating my story post for 2 days.
This post got through. Somehow.

I’d like to share a tiny story.
Seria was an acquaintance from the RSI forums. We both promoted LTI for everyone, a big deal considering the audience, but they became a white knight once Derek started making the news. They did have one redeeming point. A dislike for too much authority.
Driving that point home lead to their final strike and a permaban. Ben joins in at the end for an extra laugh. Thank you to the fine folks at the other forum for the images.
Rule 7: Do not argue with the moderators while they are acting in their official capacity.
I followed everything to its origin context and determined Seria got banned for a really foolish reason. Others are joking that Seria didn’t spend enough as a white knight to get a warning or 1 day probation. I agree, and wonder if Seria will attempt a refund.
Toast used to be such a respectable person and moderator. Now he has his original account and an official CIG account. His job is paralegal.
Lesson: CIG is corrupt. Should be easy to tell by now.
For the folks viewing from outside, please keep in mind that CIG and the extreme citizens are watching for everything and anything, to use against refunds and accountability. I estimate that there are always 20-30 extreme citizens ready to react, based on their specific reddit.
If your user name even slightly resembles your RSI name, email, etc. CIG will attempt to link anything critical you post, and issue a forum probation or permaban. This will occur even if you use forums outside of RSI. Places like the unrelated Elite Dangerous forums are not safe for discussing unpopular or critical views.
Should you attempt to ask for a refund after receiving a forum probation, they will use it against you in their replies. There is suspicion that the customer service lead is also in charge of moderating the RSI forums.
To all the folks fighting for refunds, good luck. I am in the same, sinking boat.
Time to say the white knight news. Almost a day ago, the white knights successfully suspended the outlook email that helped Derek put together the lawsuit. Those folks are celebrating in their hate reddit. New emails will likely be reported and suspended thanks to their constant monitoring for any dissent.
Now there are two major foes. CIG is delaying and denying refunds. Customers are shutting down communities that are trying to get refunds.
It’s insanely sad to see customers slashing at other customers. Cultists want the nonbelievers out and also shut down ways for the nonbelievers to exit. CIG has the zealots doing their work for them. For free.
It’s just a matter of time until physical violence occurs if someone gets doxxed. Zealots are way too mentally unstable. Human scum is still way too nice to describe these folks. After all, every refund hurts their master’s dream.
Personally, I want to see them beg for the dream to be saved. Right to the bitter end until the master is bankrupt or sent to prison. Nearly every investor or publisher will just scoff at the idea of a space sim for another decade. Serves those folks right.
Welcome to the party. I am happy to say that waiting for someone else to post it worked out.
And the image itself…
CIG is just amazing. Folks are still giving their life savings to a helluva nasty marketing machine.
The white knights did something drastic I hear. Hopefully you deal with those folks pronto. Also caught your post about an 11.
Nothing more sad than to see a scam progressing thanks to stupid customers. Star Citizen is the nigerian prince of the decade.
Opportunity… Is it true that Crash Roberts has a cocaine problem? Or just a rumor? I bet no one can disclose or confirm it though… would be a nice thing to know. Lawsuit and defamation fodder keeps secrets hidden. Then NDAs keep the costs of that trailer hidden too…
But yeah, that was one amazing wasted opportunity. I know it was deliberate… but to take such a risk… screw up, then backtrack in public… is stupid. I love how desperate they are.
Derek putting pressure with his inside sources and lawsuits… being rich enough to pay for a lawsuit… Customers rebelling and revolting. White knights bickering and betraying… The possibility of Sandi shaming Chris in private…
No one would have seen this coming back in 2012. Crash Roberts is da man for epic opportunity. We can expect more great things from a man that was sued $8 million by Kevin Costner.
You can’t fix stupid.
But I think we are way past stupid. The english language needs new words to describe these folks.
@ lir big
Thanks for checking up on me. But nope. I’m screwed.
No one is assigned to my ticket. Not surprised since I am $2,500 and CIG has no money to spare. I get all the generic “refund request in our queue” or “you have not been forgotten” messages from various CS folks. The gray market is crashing and it’s no surprise. Derek is living up to his promises which is a lot better than Crash Roberts. Lawsuits are slow, a process and all I can do is wait.
At least I can sit by and watch Ben trip up. Good show there folks.
