...I may never be able to be elected to be in the CSM again because my "second" term is now the dredges of Trak's.

If that was a matter of such concern, you could always have declined the invitation to step into Lark's seat, in order to preserve your ability to run again and IF you got elected be able to carry on with your agenda from the get-go.

An active CSM spends 20 hours a week doing that job? Seriously? I find that difficult to believe. Some weeks perhaps, but not the average week. Unless they are trust fund babies or have no other life.

I don't understand why CSMs' real life names are required to be publicly exposed by CCP. They don't require it for ISD volunteers. So why for the CSM delegates? I would guess most folks would prefer to keep their gaming activities separate from their RL activities unless they were already working in the gaming industry. A volunteer job like the CSM should not require revealing your real name to anyone but CCP. It's just not information the player base needs to know to make an informed decision about who to vote for.

The way Lark's RL name is being repeatedly bandied about in this thread--in ways deliberately intended to affect search engine results--is really ****ty. Did you ever stop to think about the fact that it could indeed affect his ability to get a job in the future when some overzealous background checker finds this tempest in a teapot thread in an archive somewhere? WTF is wrong with you? This is a real person we're talking about. He made a dumb mistake in a volunteer position related to a virtual universe and involving virtual money. He 'fessed up. It's done with. Give it a friggin break already. CCP should delete this thread altogether or at least remove Lark's RL name from every post that contains it...although the damage is probably done now WRT search engines.

FWIW if he ran again, he'd get ALL my accounts' votes. Even if I was running myself, I'd vote for Lark.

Laconian Syndicate is in here full force defending an NDA breaker. I wonder how many of them would be willing to forgive a carebear that found himself under the same circumstances .

The hypocrisy of the C&P crowd is beyond amusing.
