You can block/ignore anyone you want, close down TS any time. All that tells me is the person saying this lives a life that must be privileged and free of any actual problems nearing the definition of victim or torture. I don't know about the guy in question, but if singing a song on TS or losing all my spaceship stuff ranked among the big deals in life, my life would be much better than it is now.
The appeal to the female relative is strange as well, like some kind of shaming based on sexism? I don't know. Should I inflict this on a lady, they are such delicate creatures, they may have hysterics or something? I don't tell my grandmother some of the things that goes on in the bedroom which I'm pretty sure would freak her the hell out. It's not something she would understand, and probably eve she wouldn't understand either, so what is it supposed to mean exactly.
Your grandma is probably more knowledgeable about sex than you think. |

You are underestimating the severity of this situation. Extortion and blackmail are a federal felony in the US.
According to the US legal code, Extortion and blackmail involve other criminal actions(threatening to commit a crime against someone or threatening to reveal someone's illegal activity).

Recording and publishing information that should be private, as in private conversations is defamation, is a breach of privacy. You cannot record a private conversation and publish that conversation on the EvE forums without breaking the law. The person must be told they are being recorded and the person must give consent to that recording being published. I don't think you know how the law works. I'm a qualified paralegal.
Then you should know that heavily depends on the state and whether the conversation took place in a public space.
And the client was informed that he was being recorded(Teamspeak explicitly tells you when a user starts recording). |

This thread delivers.
Kaarous, this is the thread of a lifetime man. Suicide requests, actual truths, Pillow Fights Online.... Torture, that one set of Europeans during WW II, cats dying by circular saws.... Hell, even if I get banned tomorrow, it was fun and a good run. I know others feel the same way. Guess HTFU actually meant, "Harden up, but not too much, or we will have to martyr you without looking at facts." vOv *edit, fixed quote. and people say Erotica 1 doesn't create content, am I right? I actually logged into Eve long enough to kill a guy who was stealing my stuff. But otherwise, this has been a lot of "Eve related" fun for the day.
I know right? We are easily going to get over 100 pages in under 24 hours. If this keeps up for a few days, the thread will be setting Eve records. |

Still mad about losing a bonus round I see. So whos wallet do I need to deposit a bill into to get onto TS to spectate the next bonus round? 
If you give me a billion isk, I promise to get you into TS for the next bonus round. |

As an escrow agent, I would like to note that the Sohkar bonus round was atypical. Most clients don't get anywhere near that angry, and some have fun with the activity(we even had one guy do really funny voices for everything). |

Mel Gibson for example. Nobody goes into an explosive rant better IMO.
Now back in my day (TM) when people went into this state, it was uncommon for it to be full of racial and sexual slang and epithets.
Why was that?
Because back then such words were not lent such power. There was no political correctness turning mere words (which were also interchangeably used as terms of endearment) into weapons of mass destruction.
So now, when someone has gone completely off the end of their rope, their mind looks to the "shelf" of the worst things to say.
And guess what's on that shelf now, thanks to 20+ years of political correctness?
So of course it's only expected that the same victims (or fools who can't see how manipulated they are) will act like the person who said those words has committed an act completely disconnected from the mental state, one that was induced, in which those words were said.
It's like winning a trophy for these people, the sort that would use such incident as a whip of progressiveness to beat others with, such as "Oh so you say he was under duress? Why are you a racist too?".
The tactic is plainly obvious, and I see people do this on Twitter all of the time too. Like I said, both Erotica 1 and his victims are at fault. The victims deserve zero sympathy. They knew exactly what they were getting into yet let their greed turn them into idiots. However what Erotica 1 does is just pure sadism with no rhyme or reason to it. He could get the same results (scamming people out of everything they own) by merely asking them to do the first part of the game (showing full faith). This would be perfectly fine. Asking them to do or say humiliating things is where Erotica 1 crosses the line from scammer to sadist.
I am not sure about that. The publicity surrounding the bonus room may be a crucial component to convincing people to join it. If he just took the money and ran, then people would put up forum posts saying "Erotica 1 Bonus Room doesn't exist. He just takes your money and kicks you.". By doing a legitimate (but hard to win) competition, its easier to convince people to join.
I highly doubt I could convince people to do a bonus round. |

Sohkar has stated that he doesn't feel that Erotica1 should be banned. He doesn't hold any ill will towards Erotica1 and feels the blog is completely overblown.
So that should put this thread to rest. |
