While he is entitled to his personal opinions, CCP cannot allow someone with the views he has continued to express to represent the EVE player base, and CCP, as a member of the CSM.

I'm not usually the type to call out individual EVE players on this blog. This time I'm going to. Erotica 1 is an EVE player. He is also a despicable, vile, evil human being.

At this point, any human being with any conscience at all... anyone with even the smallest drop of human mercy in them would put a stop to the proceedings.

Erotica 1 and his fellow torturers do not.

I suppose that allows this vile human being to look at himself in a mirror. More likely, he sleeps like a baby. I assure you, Dear Reader, that there is evil in this world.

So, how does CCP respond to this vile human being? I can tell you that if I were in the position to make a decision about this person, I would seize his assets, permanently ban his accounts, and I would then go to work on his buddies with asset seizures, negative ISK balances, and temporary bans. I personally believe there is absolutely no place in EVE Online for this level of depravity and evil. To date, CCP has chosen not to do that.

In before the lock, there's also a duplicate post right next to this one ffs.

I was writing the OP before it was even posted.

Either way, the other thread deals entirely with the appropriateness of Erotica 1's content creation.


THIS is dealing with Ripard Teg's vile actions and whether or not he should remain as a CSM Rep.

Different topic, different thread.

Apparently a serious discussion about whether or not Ripard Teg should remain as a representative OF a community, when he feels it is perfectly acceptable to launch personal attacks on individual members of that community - is now Trolling.

Yet a 100 page threadnaught attacking Erotica 1 is 'game on' for CCP Falcon.

Good to see the spirit of fair play is alive and well in the Dev Corps.

Inb4 Ripard wears wizard hat and drunkenly tells Eve citizens to grief Erotica 1 during Fanfest.

I wasn't trolling, by the way.

If a standing CSM member can suggest that someone be banned because he personally finds them distasteful, then I would like to call him to task for his statements demeaning real life victims and real suffering by equating "griefing" in a videogame to torture.

Which he did repeatedly.

I personally think an apology should be tendered to Erotica 1 from Ripard - at a minimum.
However removal from the CSM AND an apology should not be ruled out.

Ripard is right to call him out for that BS.

Hey, great minds think alike. Took me a bit to edit the OP and find the appropriate quotes - in the process didn't even know another thread on an identical topic. I didn't say you were trolling - Falcon did when he locked your thread.

I certainly agree that Ripard Teg went way over the line on this one.

Calling for his removal doesn't belong in the 'threadnaught' because that thread was primarily directed at what people think of Erotica 1 and whether or not 'the bonus room' goes too far.

THIS is a thread that seriously investigates whether or not Ripard Teg should remain as a CSM rep after conducting himself in a highly inappropriate way. And further, does CCP want to be represented by this type of loose cannon 'calling out' of fellow EVE players?

Ripard's investigative article brought light on shocking cyber-bullying and emotional **** perpetrated on victims by a group of so-called players.

Ripard should be rewarded for his work, even if he has ulterior political motives.

Ripard is an elected representative, and he is fully entitled to his own blog, and what he has written in it.
Attempts to censure him will not work. We elected him, and he speaks with our authority.

Erotica1s cronies, "Bonus Room" fapcircle and other beneficiaries of the proceeds from these OUT OF GAME activities not withstanding, the community at large is appalled and against the conduct evidenced in the recordings and other particulars as outlined by Ripart in his blog.

INB4L.

Its pathetic that one hour after the previous desperate attempt to make the first such thread was locked, you make another.
That shows blatant disregard for this forum, its rules and the community

... the community at large is appalled and against the conduct evidenced in the recordings ...
