I keep hearing a lot about IQ fleet and I'm really curious. What do they do and why should I be concerned?

They ask that you don't link to them from forums, but you can find their 'leaks' page by doing a google search on 'Star Trek Online IQ fleet.'
I don't give a rats behind if we're supposed to talk about it or not, the only person that ever does anything moderation wise is Trendy. In fact, sometimes it seems like no one but Trendy does anything at all. These so called 'moderators' should be doing their jobs so that Trendy doesn't have to. She has enough to do.
If they don't like it, they can delete the thread (yeah, right) but you can talk about what you want. There are far worse threads then this one that are clearly not being dealt with. There are no rules here.
As far as the subject, we don't talk about them, nor do we link their page. We do however talk about what they tell us (See the Excel threads in the shipyard and talk of the temporal weapon ship).
Well, a fight club only exists as a violation of its prime directive. If nobody was allowed to talk about fight club, only one person would know about it (its owner). And you can't fight alone...
So, as in case of IQ Fleet, you have to bend the rules...
The "so-called moderators" DO their jobs - this is why they can't moderate the forums. They're volunteers, not employees.

I understand that they're volunteers, but what difference does that make?
They shouldn't volunteer if they don't want to do the job. If they sign up as moderators, then they should moderate the forum. I don't care if they're volunteers or not, don't sign up if all you want is a shiny forum badge.
I'm not talking about immediate results, I'm talking about threads that are several days old that should have been taken care of a long time ago. I appreciate that they're not paid employees, but they shouldn't volunteer for a job they have no intention of actually doing.
If you don't namedrop the new shipclass or put out direct links to them-who-must-not-be-named or pictures of said ships it really dosen't matter anymore. We had threads about almost every T6 ship months before they were even announced thanks to them.
And even if people don't post links to that stuff directly you'll be sure to find some reddit link to lead you there eventually.
I remember that only two or three days after they dug up the first infos about the t6 gal we had the first threads celebrating it's arrival.
They don't sign up, they're asked to be mods. The most v-mods can do is close threads and then only if there is visible harassment or core Frequently Closed Threads. Trendy is the only person allowed to ban anyone(that i know of) or give the okay for v-mods to close new forms of troll threads.
I don't really understand why people feel this way to be honest. It's not a 'spoiler' to tell you what ships are going to be released next, a 'spoiler' is something that ruins and ending of a story before you have seen it. All IQ does is tell you what the upcoming lock box and C-Store ship bundles are going to be and even that information is subject to change on Cryptic's end before release.
That's why I don't understand why Cryptic would have any problem with the discussion, technically they're just speculating like the rest of us, they're just basing their speculation on more solid information. Nothing that IQ says is set in stone, they're just far more reliable then most speculation.
If you're referring to the lack of mods appearing over the weekend... its the weekend. The volunteer mods have lives of their own just like we do.
Also it used to be that we had to actually PM a mod or hope they notice when things were going off the deep end. Now we do have the option to flag posts for mods to check out. And probably over the weekend the flags stack up. Didn't help with the recent plasma spam if you know what I mean.
Anyways... At best, we've got 2 mods vs how many forumites a day here? And they can't be everywhere at once. They're only human.
Well, obviously. Because unless a poster actually comes out an says "this is leaked information," there is no difference between a lucky guess and a leak.
If you feel spoiled by speculation that ends up being right, you shouldn't read speculation threads at all.
IQ keep the speculation coming and tell me about the coming T6 Ha'feh must have.
