Originally by: Flying Swan Kinda on topic, in a tangent stylee, would I have a case of libel against me if a CCP employee incorrectly accuses me of being racist in an email? I'll be careful with details but they incorrectly thought I said something but actually it was someone else, and he actually accused me of being racist. I was considering contacting my local Citizens Advice office to see if I have a case for libel as so far no retraction or apology!
Not sure tbh, it was a personal Email.
I was also accused of a personal attack in an Email, I laughed and respectfully replied that I was actually quoting what someone else had said. I had an apology soon after, and the quoted post was removed.
Do the same, they will correct where they make mistakes.

SImilar thing happened to me. Quoted someone who had evaded the forum filter and got banned for 14 days from the forums once. After a lengthy petition they "agree'd" to "Shorten" the ban by half and spouted some nonsense about how "If one quotes a post with ****ography it is generally accepted that one will get the same punishment as the person he quotes"...
Swearing aint ****.

Originally by: Ky Vatta They`d probably try to wriggle out of that
However, if you have it in writing, what he said, I don`t think he`ll get away with it
I have kept the email
If I don't get a retraction in the next few days I will be taking it further for sure.
Wouldn't you have to sue them under Icelandic law anyways? Remember that few contries exept the US would give anything than a symbolic slap on the wrist, if anything, for doing that. Quite a few contries would also require that it was done in public (even if its in writing) to be of any consequence. The logic in that is that it is not the accusation in it own right that is the issue, its the issue of defameing, which only is the case if it is done publicly. In this case you made it public not them, thus the case is lost up front... Anyways, you probably know law better than me since you would even bother to consider this...

Guess you ment it when you said you had nothing better to do. Just write them a e-mail back, what does posting about it here accomplish?
Oh and about that player getting banned that didn't do what a GM said he should... guess what, not following GM instructions is cause for insta ban. So... though luck.

in reality .. I doubt they have to give you any correspondence at all , past the fact that you where removed from the game for a violation(s)...Id advise you to read the toss several times until you get it , you see you give up any rights soon as you break the rules of the game..

lol
The classic definition is:
"a publication without justification or lawful excuse which is calculated to injure the reputation of another by exposing him to hatred, contempt or ridicule."

Well, to be fair, I am taking in to account that they are almost certainly snowed under with more important petitions post-dominion. It just irritated me that I was accused for something that I actually didn't write. Wouldn't mind but my quote was of the edited version that had no bad words in it at all!
And you're all quite right that in terms of law it wouldn't be worth it to take action, unlike what someone might have politely suggested in here I am not an expert in law lol.
I will draw a line under it and forget all about it. As you can no doubt see, the forum ban hasn't stopped me being able to post from a different account so I wont lose any sleep over it
Oh, and to the OP, my apologies for what turned out to be a thread hijack.

Originally by: Red Da No, I did not miss it. I just have nothing else to do right now than whine on the forums.
I hope they ban you from the forums.
Originally by: Tirus Sinobi Your response has set your intelligence barrier so low that anything you post from here on that breaches it, will have to be considered posted by somebody else.

So far the reply time I've experienced has only been 2-3 days. Unfortunately I think this is because they are not bothering to actually do anything about the petition. After crashing AGAIN and having to dump preferences files AGAIN both of which are ongoing problems as a result of this "upgrade" I finally get back on and find my self in a pod and over a billion isk worth of cargo gone. The response to my petition was basically "oh well, we are sure you will recover quickly, I'm sure you understand how our hands are tied in regards to reimbursements." So if they are taking a little time on yours it may be a good sign...

Originally by: Red Da As topic says. Anyone got an idea how long they need to answer questions about banned accounts? They banned 2 of my accounts during todays downtime with no reason. I am still waiting here to get any response from them. They didn't even say that they are working on it or whatever. And no, I did not do anything against the EULA. This waiting really ****es me off...
u dint get a email explaining you why u got baned ? |

Originally by: Red Da Just a: "Hey, we are looking into it." would be fine with me.
Umm, did you see some dude posting between 2 of your posts. Think his name started with CCP. I think he did give you a "hey, we'll look into it." You are far from the only person playing eve, and far from the only one petitioning right now. He is right, there are a crapton of sov issues being petitioned. I can't imagine the backlog. And personal opinion, guessing priority on an account banned for suspcious activities is probably not first on their priority list, seeing as they banned you and all
Yes, it's totally inconceivable that they send you a mail stating why they banned you when they ban you.
It is only natural that they don't come forward with this information at the moment they use it to make a decision and rather make you file a petition, reply with copypasta alla "Petition queue is full", and then 3 weeks later try to reconstruct the circumstances, hints, and conclusions from the original situation.
