SexTrader, you should specifies for what you want an audit for, and the importance of what you want an audit for.
Auditors come in various "sizes". For small stuff a relatively new auditor like me is cheap & easy to find a free timeframe. For some 30B IPO you want a super-trusted "pro" but you'll have to spend much more and wait possibly for weeks.
Business too requires to be stated. If you want to be audited i.e. to produce ships, the auditor will check if you have industry trained. If you don't say your field, we can't perform several important checks.

All an audit can do for a trading venture is show you have the relevant skills for purchasing/ selling and the financial capacity for the amount you planning to use. There really is not much to audit in a situation like that.

That is all defendant on the individual changing the ability to do things into the action of doing them - An auditor cant predict or control that.

The audit isn't for you, it is for potential investors. I suppose it is for you in the sense that if investors don't trust you it is more difficult to convince them to invest.
I am willing to audit your bond. I don't charge an upfront fee. However, if after the audit, I choose to invest I would like 20% of the bond automatically held in reserve for me if I so choose. |

While I have to laugh at this, I find it extremely odd that Sex Trader is offensive, yet the name Backdoor Bandit live on.. I'd petition it, and if there is no justice start petitioning every name in EVE that can offend anyone. There are countless people, and you may actually hit the person that petitioned you YARR

To you it might not've been. What about someone forced into that industry as a slave, or with relatives they've never seen because they were forced into it in a similar way?
PS, not saying that particular industry isn't bad, but there are a couple bad eggs. Certainly I wasn't offended with the name, but it's very easy to understand why someone would be offended. And in the world of the running a business (which CCP does), what's the damage of one PO'ed player who gets his name changed, versus the damage of numerous players who hear about the name not being changed after the petitioner goes to the forum looking for like minds.
Oh yeah, Backdoor Bandit probably isn't changed because nobodies petitioned it. I'm sure you could do it. |

Don't blame the moderators in the least. Truly this was someone who felt like diddling himself reporting the name Sex Trader. There is nothing inherently wrong with the word sex or trader or with the combining of them. Especially in a totally sexless environment such as Eve. However I would petition the change and escalate it up as such changes have been reversed before. (CBA to look it up but a Dev had to get involved in one name change in the past.) This is nothing more than someone making fools of the GM's by misapplying American Puritan Ethics. It is, grief by whine.

Okay, I lied. I faintly remembered back when this kind of thing happened before so I did some research. Originally by: kieron Recently, the names of two player corporations were changed as the result of petitions filed by players. The changes resulted in an amount of controversy, forum posts, petitions, and IRC discussion.
The name change applied to the corporation SAS was done mistakenly and will be reverted. The change was applied without consultation of GMs in the position to make such a decision.
Full blog here. Originally by: CCP Oveur This was all a result of breach of procedures, communication failures, lack of understanding and last but not least, a case which demonstrates that the universe we live in is complicated, and what can be a proud symbol for one person can also be considered blatantly offensive by someone else.
An ironic example is right in front of me. The biggest hot-dog manufacturer in Iceland is called 'SS', short for Slaturfelag Sudurlands. I don't find it offensive, but I know a number of people do. However, they are just two letters and we can't simply ban two letters combined ... or can we? Should we stop there perhaps? I believe you see where this is going.
I apologize for our bad handling of the situation, and I apologize to the people that may feel the name is offensive. However, I would like to point out that the world is getting smaller every day, and we surely can't protect everyone from seeing an acronym that they might consider offensive.
Full blog here. I quoted what I thought were salient portions, of course, however the point, dilemma, and solution still remains the same. CCP can not police all names so they only respond when someone complains. When someone complains it appears CCP handles this as if the petitioner is acting in "good faith". This can lead to grief by GM situations. The solution is that when people ask for their name back allowances should be made unless there is some "obvious" offensive words (or wording) used. Mind you, I've gotten in trouble using the word "sperm" around here. The word is not offensive but didn't stop someone pretending to be an unsexed Quaker about the matter. (And who are we kidding?) |

To be honest I've been wondering how long "Sex Trader" would last until this happened - I think that a name like that was obviously going to cause trouble, once it was noticed. I can see the silly side of this, but at the same time I view the poster as being in the same situation as any other player who engages in PvP with a "lol fitted" ship - you set yourself up to be knocked down.

No we don't have two of "them" wondering around MD. I am a badass, he obviously got caught trading sex.
Also, why does he only have 1 space in his name? I thought when they changed your name like that it created 2 spaces? I wouldn't know or anything but I heard it was that way. Sometimes people get disappointed. |

I agree, Sex Trader is not offensive to me personaly. But it does not take a highly experianced detective to realize that some people would find the name offenseive.. All i can say is what did you expect?
You picked a name you knew would offened someone probably because it would offened someone. While i agree its not offensive to me or most people, i cant find a reason for this name to be chosen other then the fact it would offened some poeple. |

If you're unhappy with the decision made by the Game Moderator then you should probably escalate the petition further.
I believe you can request a new name to replace the current ... alternative to your previous identity. However, don't expect to get the name of whomever petitioned your original name - assuming that is, it was petitioned and not actioned by someone with authority to do so and who also saw your thread/posts on the forum. |

I understand the hurt it can cause when someone changes your name - it can destroy your business. But did you not think that sooner or later this was bound to happen?
Originally by: HawkBlade There is nothing inherently wrong with the word sex or trader or with the combining of them. Especially in a totally sexless environment such as Eve.
Personally, I could not disagree more. HawkBlade the words 'Sex Trader' imply that this relates to the 'Sex Trade' industry of real life. Sex trading is a massive issue in the balkan region in the mediterranean (Europe, particularly the Croatia/Serbia region. You may not have noticed but there is a massive player base from that area and for many this is a touchy subject.
Particularly the part where you said 'a total sexless environment such as eve'. Everyone in the game is from real life and if they have ever had anyone in the family forced into the sex trade (or god forbid them themselves) then the last thing they want is to be reminded of this horrible reality when playing a sci-fi space game thats designed to take them away from real life troubles.

Edited by: eVaLF on 17/06/2009 13:52:59 Being in the Military I can understand why it can be considered more than just what you meant it to be.
Sex Trader can be considred the act of trafficing "persons" as well. Which would be considred highly offensive to some, while others may never even think about it.
So yes I can understand CCP banning this name as bad as it may suck, and should have probably been caught a lot sooner.
Edit: Reason I say military is because we get training on it 4 times a year. |

All this talk about Slaves and how young girls are traded for sex is kinda pointless. Because the game has a Race in it called the Amarrian Race, which actually promotes Slavery. Given the religious background of the Amarr this would also promote pedophilia most likely with the Slaves they own.
So everyone should consider the fact that an Amarr called Sex Trader is actually more in line with the Story and Parameters that CCP has laid out in the very game they banned the name in the first place.
I honestly am wondering if it has to do more with the ESRB then anything else. Because if it is, are the Amarrian race about to have a change of heart and denounce their Slave holding ways? I hope not because honestly even though I don't really care about the story line. I would be highly disappointed if some third party snobbish prude company claiming they know what's best for everyone else in the world, changed a game that is targeted toward middle aged men with political and financial real life agendas. |

Petition about it and tell them you roleplay a doctor specialized in sex changes, hence the name SexTrader. "Trade your sex for the opposite, satisfaction guaranteed!"
Seriously, the name SexTrader is nothing compared to all the ****ty outfits female characters have in just about ALL fantasy MMOs (which are targetted at younger public, generally).
I'm really curious how the name Backdoor Bandit can be appropriate considering it is an INTENTIONAL reference to anal ****.
I think I'll start being offended by every name I see and petitionning them. Also, since being scared of sex is an american thing, it's safe to assume we have to respect ever other stupid cultural trait of every culture. I'm petitionning any female character where I can see their face, this is an outrage! |

Originally by: SencneS Given the religious background of the Amarr this would also promote pedophilia most likely with the Slaves they own.
I was going to make a rather crude and tasteless joke here comparing the Amarr to the clergy of a certain major, world wide RL religion - but as I like to think of myself as a wit (rather than a half-wit) I'll leave it well alone.
(That and I actually thought of two such religions straight away and couldn't decide which one to lambast)
So how does the religious background of the Amarr proceed to promote acts of pedophilia upon their slaves? The only time I recall anything approximate to that was some material in the printed EVE novella relating to the ... recreational exploits of the former Amarr Chancellor, Karsoth - a man whom need I add isn't exactly going to win any awards for defending the Amarr faith any time soon.
I mean, if I'm going to end up on an FBI/Federal Police watch list I'd rather it not be for rolling a character in an MMO - "Rock Spider" isn't a class I want to play!
All that aside ... I think this was simply a case of somebody being caught "in flagrante delicto" by a browsing Moderator and that because it looked like a duck, and it quacked like a duck - they shot it down. |

Or maybe "Backdoor Bandit" simply engages in breaking and entering occasioning theft, after forcing entry at the rear of the premises. |

I'll try to be clear: you are wrong.
What I did was cite an example and suggest that it has slightly more ambiguity to it which acts as a sort of protective sheathe around it, if you will.
A protective sheathe - like a condom, you could say.
I've already stated my opinion regarding the former name of the OP: please try to keep up.

Originally by: Deitis Montage Personally, I could not disagree more. HawkBlade the words 'Sex Trader' imply that this relates to the 'Sex Trade' industry of real life. Sex trading is a massive issue in the balkan region in the mediterranean (Europe, particularly the Croatia/Serbia region. You may not have noticed but there is a massive player base from that area and for many this is a touchy subject.
Particularly the part where you said 'a total sexless environment such as eve'. Everyone in the game is from real life and if they have ever had anyone in the family forced into the sex trade (or god forbid them themselves) then the last thing they want is to be reminded of this horrible reality when playing a sci-fi space game thats designed to take them away from real life troubles.
FFS, at some point people who are playing a game need to realize that they are playing a game. A game where slavery is an abstracted trade item. Using your example, ever having anyone, I should be suing CCP for marketing a product that sensationalizes the infringement of civil rights. After all, my wife is black (and her family is from slave stock), my father is black (and his family is from slave stock), my siblings and children are in part black (ditto ditto slave stock). I doubt I need to go one with this train of thought simply as it is ludicrous. You can not review human history anywhere and not find something to be conflicted about. If someone from Europe feels so strongly about the socio-political issues regarding the illegal Sex Trafficking... let them get their fat nerd asses out of their chair and become a more civic responsible person in their local community. Personally, I do not care to have their local laws, morals, or ethics imposed upon me from half a hemisphere away. No more than the rest of you want me, an american, imposing my own version of such upon your sorry asses. So I close with this customer service goodies: - I see your point but I still think you are full of crap. |

Oh and for the moronic out there: The name was Sex Trader, in which case being in the Sex Trade is quite legal in many countries.
Illegal Sex Trafficking is a serious crime issue that is not to be taken lightly nor to be made fun. However reading fundamentals tells use that the word Trade is not the word Trafficking.
For the poor conflicted SODs out there that missed that might I suggest boning up on reading English as a past time instead of beating your chest about the failures of your local politicians and law enforcement.

They have an Amarr mission where you have to capture the Amarr Prince's concubine from her true love..... so what job are you doing when you do that mission exactly?
The name is as appropriate as the contents of the game, so at the least there is a strong smell of hypocrisy.

What you are saying is quite horrible.
You are basically saying that if someone HAS had family (or themselves) victimized by the sex trafficking industry they should simply 'realize that they are playing a game' and not get upset when they see someone called 'SexTrader' on a forum/in-game. This doesnt work and those people will be hurt regardless. It may not be offensive to you but dont be as naive as to think it HAS to be offensive to everyone in order to be banned.

Yeah that's exactly what people are saying, because it is a Game. We fly around ships and murder hundreds of space people a day, should anyone be upset if they had a relation ship with a real life person who lost their life to violence? Of course not, just because someone lost their perspective due to tradgedy doesnt mean the game should be changed to coddle them. It means that they shouldn't be playing a game that reminds them of the tradgedy every single time they log on.
In EVE there is slaverery, there are prostitutes, there are Pirates, and blood suckers, and space zombies. No doubt there are also fictional people who traffic sex slaves. That someone should be upset that a character chose this name is pretty silly. There is a seperation between fact and fiction and the name isnt really out of place in the EVE universe.
The only time to get offended by things in game is whent they do relate to real life places and events. If someone had the nam N_____trader that's offensive, if someone was named BalkenSexSlave that's offensive.
Learn some perspective or GTFO.

I'm not disagreeing with that, it's the first thing that came to my mind to. What I am saying is that sex trafficking occurs in game and as such how in appropriate is the name?
It's not like I particularly liked the name and want to keep it around (I prefer the fake name monkiers such as yours or mine), however I am saying that the name is related to EVE and why should it be banned because some one is drawing tenuous parallels that cause them to be upset. Of course, the same logic would also approve a name like Kiddie Diddler so I'm not really standing on strong ground here.
Its s stupid name and I dont particularly feel bad its gone. Except as I am unclear on the specific reason it was eliminated (was it in the post I didn't notice?) and I am uncomfortable with it. I am hard pressed to get a hard argument as to why I think it's wrong though, so... I just do. Maybe because its not clearly an offensive name (as demonstrated by its relatively long life).

Maybe the guy who changed it had the same perception, but name policies must be enforced objectively and the meaning of sextrade is not trafficing. I saw a documentary named that and guess what? It was about ****ography business. If I see dog trade, for example and I relate it to dog fights it doesn't mean that dog trade means that, name changes must rely on the real meaning of the words, not any subjective judgement.

That this thread has caused so many more to be upset is even sillier.
I'm trying to juggle what's stupider here.
1. The fact someone complained about the name "SexTrader/Sex Trade" in a game with (incredibly minor, so minor you really have to look closely for them) references sex in a game rated,, what,, M 15+?
2. The fact people are too dense here to realise that, no matter how small the chance is, there exists a chance that *someone* would find a name like SexTrader offensive in a game primarily revolving around internet spaceships and blowing stuff up. The fact (pointed out) that western cultures are overly-prudish about the topic is no argument when the corporation decides to run it's business in that country. If it's "taboo" for people (which a Christian-dominated society is, being all "No sex before marriage", ergo the Sex Trade is "evil"), then it'll likely be removed.
If you don't get what I mean, imagine if I set up a shop in the middle of an Islamic country right now whose purpose was the production bikini modelling photo shoots? I'd probably be beheaded or something, and for good reason too. It's not offensive to you and me though....
To your average punter, EVE is not a game about sex, ergo someone looking for an "internet spaceships" game could be forgiven for being a little bit "shocked" to run into a blatant reference to sex. And yeah, some people *are* that anal. |

I wonder how many people are upset (by upset I'm assuming you mean mad or angry) by it? Probably only SexTrader himself. I just consider it wrong depending on the context it was done in. And by wrong I mean unjust.

We ar'nt too dense too relise that somone may find names offensive. We are saying that things shouldn't be censored simply for being rude or offensive. Things that are hateful and destructive should be challenged though. SexTrader's name was simply uncouth IMO, as such just because some one was upset by it is no reason to eliminate it.

No you'd be beheaded for a series of bad reasons and for being in a morally repugnant society. It wouldn't be right and moral relativeism is exactly what leads to such nonsense.

And by the same reasoning one has to learn to deal with that shock. There is no doubt that you are going to run into something you don't like or find repugnant that doesn't mean its automatically banned. Suck it up and deal with it.
Either prove within reason that it is wrong (rather then simply offensive) or accept it and move on. |
