Well, CCP is officially aware of the incident upthread. Let's see what they choose to do about it before someone dies. |

Erotica 1 wrote:So many people up in arms over something that happened awhile ago (and widely read on www.minerbumping.com in a 4 part series) because some guy named Ripard? posted something. Instead of the "to the stakes!" talk, let's do what CCP falcon asked early on and remain civil. Thanks. Frankly, I don't think this post demonstrates nearly enough faith in the process. That's got to come before we get to the educational component. But I appreciate that this is a little uncomfortable.
I'm just going to think of what to do with the winnings, for now.

Csill Es wrote:CCP has an unique opportunity to distance themselves from these bottom feeders - Erotica1 and cohorts -, but only if they act fast. They really only need to act well in advance of some real-life tragedy related to the game. There is time for CCP to decide to ally with Erotica 1 (and there's a great marketing slogan right there) or to make it clear that they will not allow their game to be used as a cyberbullying tool.
That much is very simple in this situation.

If its someone who I know has spent 2hrs tormenting a victim and his wife to the point of breaking, for no other reason than to sadistically enjoy their suffering and to share their recording of it with "friends", yes, I will absolutely laugh and applaud. And anyone who seizes on the victim's rants while ignoring the context of the tormenting/torture is engaged in cheap sophistry.
Any of us can be made to say pretty much anything under duress, folks. "Just walk away" in this situation is about as helpful (and disingenuous) as "Just say no" was in another era. Some bullies selected a victim who was particularly vulnerable, and got the reaction they wanted. The power dynamics on either side were not equivalent; neither are the offenses.
Is it officially okay, CCP, to use in-game contacts for cyberbullying? |

Anslo wrote:...Steele, be straight with me on this; while the caller really went too far with the threats, don't you think Ero has become skilled in picking out who is most likely to go off the deep end and then push them off it by whatever means for entertainment? That's why they call it cyberbullying. The victim was selected precisely for the quality of being unable to resist the bait, and for hoping to undo the transfer of assets later.
Cyberbullies stalk very deliberately.

If I wasn't busy at work today I'd probably find a dozen more. Good point. Don't let Erotica 1's allies/alts bait you into violating the EULA, folks.

Not the sort of people I would want as neighbors, particularly if I had children or pets. Possibly not the sort of people CCP wants starring in EVE Online stories, either.

Spread the word! Force CCP to act! Forcing CCP to act is a worthy goal, but I am more interested in quality than in speed. A quick banhammer will only fuel the apologists and rules lawyers who always demand to know exactly where a line is drawn. Just get it right, CCP, and protect yourselves from the association--whether or not you desire a particular outcome for this situation.
