If you ask for public clarification of whether or not something is considered an exploit, then CCP will lock your thread:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1284269#post1284269
oh, except when they arbitrarily decide to not follow their own rules: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=84114&find=unread
Asking publicly whether or not something is an exploit is of benefit to the entire community, as you get to lay down the law visibly and state where you stand on critical issues. You refuse to answer if something is an exploit, but lock the thread anyways. You insist we each individually file petitions (creating massive petition spam for your GM department - they must love you for this), and then refuse to let us share the results of those petitions.
If a GM petition comes back and states that something is not considered an exploit, we're STILL not allowed to discuss it, because that would violate the "no talking about GM correspondences in the public because you'll catch us being incompetent" clause of the EULA.
Here's a hint. Declare everything an exploit and be done with it. You'll maintain consistency and reduce your petition spam. Right now you've chosen the worst possible method for answering questions, and the most possible workload for your company. Perhaps you should rethink your methods. Free Wardec Removal |

It's funny. If I take an autocannon and shoot a ship, I'm exploiting the autocannon. It's my job. I game. If I turn on my shield booster, and heal my shields a tad, I'm exploiting the shield booster. Game management, however, singles out certain things that are admittedly as exploitive as my first two examples, and claim even though they CAN be done, DOING them will cost you.
Okay...to differentiate...rules: Don't go to beginner zones and take advantage of the inexperienced - a form of understandable crowd control....
IF the game management doesn't want us to DO something, then don't have it in the game. I'm sick and tired of game management making us out to be cheating when we're doing what gamers do, taking advantage of every opportunity which presents itself. It's what we do. We game.
The EXPLOITS game management BANS are the exploits game management put into the game. It's the game management's fault, not ours. This sort of thing demonstrates the nature of some people's "integrity."

Disscusing moderation, never a good thing.
Why don't you stick with the solution given to you: when in doubt petition it. Don't ask the forums because in the end we the GD-C.H.U.D's have no power, what so ever, to say 'yay' or 'nay' when it comes to exploits.

It's called an exploit cause it wasn't supposed to be in the game; using game mechanics in an unintended way. That's why they often get patched out very soon after they are discovered/abused too much. Exploits are simply bugs, glitches, and holes in the code that work to someone's favor. The Drake is a Lie |

It is only an exploit if it affects the goons in a negative way. |
