I don't know how many of you have noticed containers anchored near gates, particularly in Amarr, advertizing Xianity.
I don't have a problem with freedom of religion but I do have a problem when it is brought into my game and subliminally forced down my throat.
This game needs to be kept secular so that we are able to wind down after our days toil and relax , without fanatics bringing their hang ups into our domain.
I will petition a complaint to CCP before we see a million containers anchored in our free space, advertizing "Daves plumbing supplies" and the like.
The last thing I want is an approach to each system looking like the yellow pages.

It's Christianity, but just saying the word sticks in my throat. So I, along with many others abreviate it. |

I'm not an atheist and will not be drawn into a theological argument.
My point is; advertising of any description that is not Eve related has no place withinour universe.
Viewing containers labled "JESUS SAVES" does not make me wonder "Which bank?" It just makes me cringe.
It's the thin end of the wedge. If this is allowed then where does advertising stop?
Do you really want to be scrolling down 1000 containers in your overview just to find the gate you need to jump through or the asteroid you want to mine? |

This is not a topic discussing religion, merits or demerits thereof.
The toipic is about overt advertising.
If religion is out of bounds in the forum, then surely and moreso, it is out of bounds within the game.
I was more offended by the fact that players would be allowed to bring into EvE their outside hangup, than the actual message itself.
How many of you are sick and tired of the forced advertising that you have to suffer before you can watch a youtube vid?
We pay for eve, and if containers are allowed to be used for non Eve related advertising then where will it end?

The threat of a petition was a last resort. I filed petitions before and in reality the petition function is only there to keep someone in a job who would otherwise be on the dole. Rather like the compulsory Australian superannuation scheme.
