I just noticed the OP's name is "NPC"
but anyway, try looking up the in-game item "Ship Fitting Guide" the raven thing is a running joke from years ago.
Here is the question though....aren't people in real life equally capable of distrust? It's something you earn, as much in EVE as with real life. This is how people can trust each other in EVE.
As for some other points, yes, inter-corp combat is allowed, including podding. CONCORD ignores all of it. A mechanic made to allow for corp members to practice combat on each other as well as evil infiltrations such as this. This mechanic is something you should have heard about in your 3 years of playing and is very likely going to be a running criticism to the end of this thread.
You also say that this thread is more of a warning to people to not make the same mistake, correct?
The problem here is that EVE already has a notorious reputation for having the potential for backstabs. Any one who spends a little time researching EVE's past will know this before they ever join. Not only that but you're essentially in place where you're trying to tell firefighters to not put water on a grease fire to which the firefighters respond "well no ****".
And lastly your knee-jerk reaction is going to get you made fun of from here to hell and back. You essentially took that grease fire metaphor I just made and dumped out all your oil and declared that no one should ever cook with it ever again. You're over reacting and look like an idiot doing so.
Your logic is essentially "We'll since this well-known-to-be-unreliable-oil caught fire I'll never use oil to cook with ever again". No, just be more careful about how you pick.
As for people requesting your ship fit it's essentially them asking about which pan you cooked with. By flying a "shiny ship" (in this case a CNR with 7 faction launchers) you become more susceptible to be targeted as people want to steal the very same modules that make it so valuable. To fit this into my analogy it's like using a pan too small for meal you're trying to cook and you're saying "What does the pan have to do with anything? Oil is bad regardless" . No, setting yourself up to get burned is. Take better precautions and learn more about the game so you can cover your bases.
Carry a metaphorical fire extinguisher, use better cooking oil, handle it better, and get a proper sized pan (or only use the smaller one if you're sure).
Translated to EVE: Don't give them roles in the corp so you can kick them the second anything hairy happens, be more selective about who you choose and what you let newer members do, and don't flaunt an expensive ship unless you're around ell trusted people, keep a cheaper but still effective ship on hand when working with people you don't have full trust with yet.
