I don't like this. It goes way too far.

I would not expect CCP to become involved. On the other hand, there is something seriously wrong with Erotica and her friends.
So Erotica1 offered in game items for out of game services. You sing for me and you will get all of these items back. That is RMT, which CCP dislikes with a passion. Just because something happens outside of CCPs servers doesn't mean that they should ignore it.
That is not RMT.

Basically, you can't punish somebody who hasn't broken any rules, and doing so in spite of it would create a dangerous precedent. In that regard, CCP's hands are more or less tied unless they want to invoke their TOS' arbitrary savior clause.
What a lot of people on the pages 1-5 are apparently forgetting is the fact CCP created those rules; there is no reason they couldn't adapt them to the situation.
Failure to do so would border on criminal negligence, IMHO. Ive said it multiple times to multiple people in this thread. The Mittani + Fan fest. It happened, he broke no rules, yet he got a temp ban and was forced from his position. That was the right thing to do in that situation, its also my opinion that Erotica should have all his assets/isk removed and also receive a ban, but i have morals so i guess im in the minority. And what punishment should the caller get?
Ban him too of course. Clearly unsuitable for EVE.

I disagree - I can see him being banned. He has crossed a line and it is not going to be healthy for EVE's reputation.
EVE is known as a harsh game where you can be scammed and stolen from. This is as it should be. But the disgusting behavior from both sides of that recording went too far. I wouldn't be at all surprised if both Erotica1 and the contestant were banned.

No. Scams are good, ganking is good, non-consentual PvP is good. This was different in purpose and endpoint. There are goons in this thread condemning the conduct, even if they don't call for a ban.

Actual laugh out loud moments are pretty rare for me but this was pure gold!

Meanwhile I get someone asking very broad questions wanting yes/no answers which I assure you will be damned if I do/damned if I don't. The funny thing is I already gave the very answers they seek, just a few pages back. Post number please? Incidentally, iv no grudge here, this is a game.

This won't happen because of the audio. It is no longer an abstract concept that people are merely uncomfortable with but has rather become personalised as people imagine being in the same situation. I think that is why so many are attempting to justify the contestant's threats when they are clearly worthy of a ban.
Just think how a care bear whinge thread would usually progress: usual rant to open, a few support posts, then the community descends like a ton of bricks. This one is different because the audio triggers a visceral response from anyone who hasn't yet been desensitised to it.
It was a mistake to release the audio. It could do great damage to the game.

Say the mods are following the thread, there is little way one person can keep track; I do wonder if they have tools to "deconstruct" the thread and get a feel for how many people are really talking. Just as an example, imagine if the mods could pull out all Kaarous and Salvos posts (no offense guys, you are just good examples), and see how many pages the thread drops by just from those two poster alone.
CCP has tools to count posts by account at least. I'd be surprised if they couldn't do it by registered email address too.
