I'm mainly just disappointed that a group of people trying to provide a professional service would act in such a biased way, I mean the name aside, the NC is shown as red and the SC is blue.
I think there may be a marketing opportunity here though, perhaps time to set up an alternative killboard hosting service, I'm pretty sure where the southern coalition alliances would be spending their money next.

I notice you have an issue with the colours, and am not sure what this would be in an Eve context. Are you upset that Red = Amarr or Blue = Caldari ?
Are you British; upset that this is politicised and Blue = Conservative or Red = Labour ?
I am assuming that you are upset that Red = Warsaw Pact (which hasn't been a threat to your western decadence for almost twenty years) and NATO = Blue ? If this is the case then I suggest you take your prejudicial outrage elsewhere.
Just as a point of interest, until the 1950s the UK used Red for British Forces (what else considering the colour of the Army!) and only switched when it became clear that the Warsaw Pact were the "new enemy".
To get round the issue of upsetting ex-WP forces now within NATO, it is becoming trendy to use Orange as Enemy Forces. Perhaps the Dutch don't get offended.
Meno, I expect you're the same type of person who gets upset when those boards used in classrooms are called a Blackboard.
You serious?
Perhaps you are, well there is this game called 'EvE Online' or 'Internet Spaceships' or 'Lag Online' or 'Session Timers Online' and there is a thing called the standings system. In this 'Standings System' there is a way to make those on your side, or aligned to you appear 'Blue' and those against you or your enemy 'Red'. If your interested they do 15 day trials.
Seriously though, the blackboard has been oppressed by the evil whiteboard for too long.

On two occasions I have been asked,ù"Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?" ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

Try and see past the fact that I'm in the NC for the sake of reason just for a minute.
What is not in question is the quality of the programming, etc, the problem is that everyone knows the original kb software is terrible, it makes mistakes, kills get faked, losses get ommited. This is ok on a per fight / per week / individual kb basis though as everyone looks at the figures and adjusts for any discrepancy. Fine.
However when you take all this information and collate it on mass the output is obviously crap, we are all agreed that the kb makes mistakes and is fallable, so why then are we argueing about the output from these boards being incorrect.
If the NC was shown as winning, would I complain, probably not...  but that doesn't make the figures any more accurate.
GIGO Garbage In Garbage Out.

there is nothing i can do to prevent that.
No but as soon as you take that data out of the context of the edk, and strip out the ability to break the data down, you mix up the obviously fake mails with the genuine and make the stats pointless.
You should have filtered out non api synced mails.
