With precision and guile he undermined CCP's dependence on Chribba, Darkness, Grendel and Rene De'Labou to preform a function they were just to lazy to code into the game. Can't say I'm all to impressed with ISD's performace of managing Evelopdia either. Its analogous to the fat lazy TSA security agent, asleep on the job, and lets a gun or drugs get onto a plane. So yes if you literally can't log onto a Wiki and check the edit history and have enough common sense to know something isn't right then no one should trust you. It's not like Evelopedia is kept up to date or accurate to begin with as evidenced by the fact many player organizations keep their own Wiki's as a source of real knowledge on the game.
I can understand feeling duped or even embarrassed at having one guy work over an entire paid company and its volunteers to run riot in a environment of increasing complacency and incompetence. What I refuse to understand, because it requires accepting a few fallacies, is retro actively punishing someone to cover up said complacency and incompetence. The person stupid enough to fall for a glorified shell game shouldn't be rewarded with GM intervention. Let the fool pay for his foolishness, let the clever man profit.
So would you have been fine with it if CCP had simply said 'bravo you got us that time, congratulations to you, but anyone who does this in the future will cop a ban' and had worded the ToS change accordingly?
My personal opinion is that because it involved evelopedia, which after all is a CCP administered site through the ISD, they want to make it crystal clear that mucking about with CCP stuff in the cause of scamming is definetely out of order. Doesnt change the fact the communication has been pretty crappy but im willing to let the CSM work that out because thats one of the things we elected them to do.
