Just because we are enjoying this thread doesn't mean we're some shadowy puppetmasters behind the scenes of every single inconvenient or troll action in-game, but if people want to believe that then I'm not going to deny it, either. It's all part of the mystery.
nothing mysterious about you or your dead fleet
How many players did your antics cost the game ?
you have been in damage control on the forum for a long tim now too ? Too many warnings perhaps ?
Some of us don't have to believe anything ...We have saw the evidence for ourselves

I'm glad we have starfleet dental historian/Matlock on the case. I can safely say that I haven't had an in-game warning since 2013, and I've only had 3 since 2012, so as much as you all want to desperately believe we are carefully trying to avoid warnings or bans, it really isn't the case. Last forums warning was February 2014, by the way. Your diligent and frivolous reports are pretty much being tossed right in the garbage.
All that supposed evidence you have is doing you a lot of good.
Thank god this game is F2P and you can just use disposable accounts for trolling and harrasment. Apparantely you can even name them adolfhitler, goes to show eh? Ah well, no point in argueing with dental. Who knows, with smirk paying attention to this thread perhaps your band of heroes will finally get the attention it deserves! Since it's clear to anyone that dental is not about trolling, harassing or otherwise making players have a bad time in STO, right?
There is a difference between not getting caught, and being in the right. Though it is clear you wouldn't care either way.
Lost and Delirious... and Disenchanted too Apparently some forum posters have diplomatic immunity nowadays, where can I get mine?
I am told many do not have faith in STO moderation. Forum moderators can be voted in and supported by community members. Who can say that any moderation currently performed is not influenced by a massive wave of trolls creating posts and submitting tickets to sway a decision towards their favor? Food for thought.
From the PWE community rules and policies "The community may be asked to participate in selection of volunteer moderators,"...
That being said, a hypothetical query; If the community is filled with alt-accounts and newly created accounts created by certain individuals who's goal is to gain weight on any end of an argument via brute force, what would stop this situation from seating a person as a moderator who may be biased towards that group in favor of a system that allows their brand of abuse? Forum politics perhaps? Something deeper, to later on be said it was "for the lulz"? It's not a stretch of the imagination to believe mass requests of donations be pooled so a "career account" can be purchased and used as figureheads lending even more weight to the appearance of legitimacy. That's 200/300$ US earned when someone has this amount pooled up to create exactly that.
Who then would you believe as a moderator? The person with a young star trek account that had a problem with a troll blocking a mission progression using a cover shield and spamming you with fleet,pvp,group and trade invites? Or the blue name with 3000 posts saying the person complaining is lying and a noob? Would that noob then be inclined to also make the purchase to be a lifetime member, or give up in frustration, possibly quit outright?
Same could be said for a paid employee of PWE acting as a manager, whom does have the final say in any relevant decisions as far as how forums are run. More difficult to pull off perhaps, but not unheard of. Follow the money.
This is what happens when you allow abusive types to use heavy population gimmicks and bully tactics both in the game with no general moderation, and on these forums, to stimulate favor. Or even just to earn the occasional free item given away by a new star trek online player while skirting the lines of permissible behavior and good faith. It's TRIBBLE, and anyone knows it if they have had run-ins with these types of players who's sole purpose is to be disruptive and abusive to others, so they and other like-minded types can have a good chuckle at another players expense.
Maybe this can be a start of a new change within the community. Or maybe someone from an troll gang will post TEAL DEAR, my post will be moderated or thread locked. We'll see

Long have we dreamed for the day all this negativity would be cast off and a new age of peace and joy would descend upon these forums! I'm glad to see we're not alone in this wish.
Sorry for the double post, but thought I'd go ahead and make a list of current/past Dental conspiracies.
1.Dentals are disgruntled Devs.
2. Dentals have some shadowy alliance with Devs against the players.
3. Dentals are master hackers
4. Dentals are literal North Koreans spreading juche propaganda.
5. Dentals are a religious cult
6. EVERY member of Dental is a Nbreeki alt, who in turn is actually a Butts alt.
7. Members of Dental are actually terrorists who hate democracy and western values.
8. Dentals create hundreds of alts and use their power in numbers to get members/sympathizers in mod positions
Any others? Can we fill in some blanks here? These are just off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are others floating around.
My guess is "hope" keeps people not playing but posting on the forums. For others, its a path of sad realization and closure. Grieving takes time. The worst "haters" here love the game, or did at some point.
I know of at least ten (10) people filing complaints. This person's accounts need to be perm-deleted and his "fleet" terminated. Wonder if the GM's will do enough

That's the nicest thing anyone's said about me in this thread.
To put it in a less-nice way, you're a pain in the TRIBBLE but mostly harmless.
The TRIBBLE Olivia et al. are dealing with right now is anything but. Harassment, cyberstalking, impersonation, all direct violations of TOS. Let's get some enforcement of the rules, already.

He is just as harmless. I actually attempted to contact him the other day, to get his side of the story, and found him very polite and friendly. Olivia is banking off fake pictures hoping to get eprops from STO players for being a "girl" on the internet. I have no sympathy for him.
There are no girls on the internet. Everyone knows that.

Funny point here. I've never had any issues with anyone from Starfleet Dental/Nerds of Prey in the 2 1/2 years I've played the game.
I HAVE, however, had issues with Olivia to the point where I ended up putting... her... on ignore.
I don't mean the troll Olivia duplicate either. I've had one invite from Faux-livia (1 point to me for a gratuitous Fringe reference) but I just let it expire and didn't get another one.

Seriously?
who cares about gender online?
It's funny, watching guys hit on 'girls' and not realise they're guys. Happens a bit in my fleet!
I'm not so annoyed about pretending to be a girl. We all know that's the norm on the internet. I am annoyed, however, that he feels he can blatantly steal Facebook pictures from some unsuspecting real girls and claim them as his own. It's pretty skeezy. Just note how, in this very thread, when asked/called out on it, he refuses to address it, yet he will come back to defend his giveaway transactions with Druk. The silence is more telling than anything here. I went on his chat channel earlier and some guy was talking about how besutiful he (Olivia) was, based off a stolen picture.
The way he accepted said compliments only further cements my own suspicions that all this Saint Olivia giveaway TRIBBLE is nothing more than yet imbalanced STO player that has some deep-seated need to be respected and adored on a video game.
anyone who assumes a photo of a girl really is that girl is either innocent or dumb.

While street parties and medals would be nice we find ample reward simply in the act of helping all these people.

Acidcouch is actually base and not acid at all.

LOL... that's just...
Meh, I don't agree with much you post, but yeah, lumping all Dental into some mythical STO Illuminati is...not intelligent.
Most of you aren't even worth putting that much effort into disliking.

quite true...
Drozona is filled with chat that'd give mother thersa a heart attack if she was still alive...
ESD is just... having zone chat on reduces your IQ a point a minute
It's fun to drop troll candy on the floor and watch them all scrabble around at it though -
The other day:
Me: "So did anyone see the Episode 7 trailer?"
ESD: Exploded
Me: Eats popcorn.
Good times.
Should I feel ashamed I do that?
You should be ashamed if you DON'T do it.
It has been awhile.
Perhaps I should drop troll candy again.
