Can we have an update on the situation.

oh god -.- its sad how many people do not know how big companies work... the mods here dont send anythign "up the chain" they have been given a job here and that is to mod the forums, that includes banning.

Again the mod's job here, is to do nothing but moderate the forums, they don't get internal messages from SE unless it pertains to them, and same goes for any news update. They also don't go high enough in the "chain" to even contact someone that would know any info (aka someone in Japan at HQ)

Oh jesus where do all you SE cheerleaders come from.

Either dam way, weather they pass something up the chain to the higher ups or the higher ups have standing orders it is very clear that SE higher ups value there power more then they value anything important to the players. Which is the point.

So way to argue a irrelevant part of the post to once again try and defend the company that doesn't give a shit about you.

I am not a cheerleader nor defending SE, I am stating fact of how a company works, and you refuse to accept it.

oh by the way, welcome to how the corporate world works.

A mod here reads both and forwards them UP the chain.

um... no. They have been given a set of guidelines to follow. If x is true, then response=y. X may be as specific or vague as however they see fit--use of any inflammatory language, or maybe excessive use of inflammatory language--or even just use of the N word, who knows. But they do have a set of rules posted. Their version used for moderation may be more specific though for the whole CYA routine.

eh.. not a whole lot of useful information floating about involving Japan atm. Whacky Gaddafi had to reclaim focus of the media again I guess. Found a few tidbits, but you guysw likely already saw this stuff in other news feeds:

Tokyo tomorrow, blackouts cancelled, trains running on holiday (JR) or reduced schedules.

TEPCO: 6 emergency ops workers at #Fukushima nuke plant exposed to 100 millisieverts of radiation but showing no ill effects.

Kyodo: Gov't says radioactive iodine beyond limit detected in tap water in Fukushima.

Max radiation detected from fireman = 27msvh (1), 14-5msvh (3) under 10msvh (45) all w/in max limit.

Radioactive substances found in water of 6 prefectures including Tokyo but no health risk says Education Ministry: Kyodo

not a cheerleader, just willing to give someone the benefit of the doubt before I proclaim them to be the Dark Empire.

So the blackouts have been canceled how many times now? Does that mean the time they gave may actually be a reasonable time to come up?

LOL you are truly retarded, Im very proud of you that you know how corporate world works. Heres your cookie.

I don't refuse to accept anything, I used a stupid example to show how SE feels about 2 different situations and you argue that the stupid example had some parts that had nothing to do with the point were incorrect.

Well you did it, you convinced me of your corporate knowledge, BIG THUMBS UP. I hope you sleep better tonight knowing that you conquered the world with your corporate prowess.

um... no. They have been given a set of guidelines to follow. If x is true, then response=y.

Again, bottom line is that SE higher ups care more about banning then they do about anything a player ask for no matter how easy that request would be.

What your describing here are pretty much standing orders, they are a must otherwise admins here could ban at will. So its true that the higher ups still say who is banned and for what reasons. So the point still stands that they care more about there banning power then anything related to there lowly players.

Both of your are arguing the most insignificant part of a hypothetical statement I wrote just to show that SE cares more about there power then there players (customers).

CEO's usually don't deal with such mundane tasks as the design of a User Forum. That's usually relegated to the department heads. President of our company just told our project manager to come up with something for our clients to submit bug reports through our website--we wound up writing a whole service request application. Once he saw it demoed, he wanted to market it and we sold it to customers--mostly government offices. @yourrequest.

Radiation readings release, and situation is improving. Areas close to the reactors have seen drops as high as 500 points since last night. Areas to the south have seen drops of 25-50 points, some reporting more "normal" levels now. They haven't graphed out the most recent figures yet, but they may show up soon here:

There is a table being updated periodically showing Gamma readings in southern Ibaraki, near Lake Hinuma if anyone is interested:
