CCP, in collaboration with the CSM, have agreed and would like to state in the strongest possible terms and in accordance with our existing Terms of Service and End User License Agreement, that real life harassment is morally reprehensible, and verifiable examples of such behavior will be met with disciplinary action against game accounts in accordance with our Terms of Service.

Sohkar's invective was racist, yes, but the real motivator sounded to me like utter desperation. He was completely out of rope, and that's all he had. He had lost lost lost and LOST to those guys for TWO HOURS, and nothing he tried had worked.

I doubt I'd ever say anything racist, since that's not how I roll, but I do entertain the possibility that a situation so eff-ed up could come along that I'd be desperate and freaked out enough to say some stuff I'd NEVER imagine coming out of my mouth.

I was out for a while in this thing called the real world.

Over rated.

Actually I am trying to get out of here but I have so much time invested I keep feeling like I am drawn back in involuntarily.

Obviously you have not been to the Rural American South. (See the film "Deliverance".)




ed: A Town Too Florida even for Florida

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

The Rules:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

6. Racism and discrimination are prohibited.

Racism, gender stereotyping and hate speech are not permitted on the EVE Online Forums. Derogatory posting that includes race, religion or sexual preference based personal attacks and trolling can result in immediate suspension of forum posting privileges.

And please people, if you come across a post that has broken the forum rules, report it!

This.

Taking into account t20, Greed is Good, Mittens, and now Ero, I think it's pretty safe to say one of the unwritten rules of EVE is "Cause CCP embarrassment, expect bans."

t20=whistleblower got banned
Greed is Good=whistleblower got banned
Mittens=Made an ass of himself in public, made the news, got banned
Ero=Made an ass of himself, got published on a CSM blog, made news, got banned

If this teaches us anything, it's to make sure anything we do off-EVE, related TO EVE, cannot be linked to accounts we care about.

Don't think roleplaying is allowed in GD, but who cares.
I'm sorry. I surrender.

He even suggested a guy cover a nipple in hot bacon fat, which he did and ended up in hospital. That sounds pretty bad to me.

I'm not going to disclosure my identity to people that will go at those lengths to ruin other people internet space ships fun. It would be asking for trouble, call me chicken if it will make you feel better.

Hes stated hes not running this year

[quote=Snupe Doggur]Right. The problem is when banning someone for Real Life Harassment, you should also be asking questions like "Is it actually harassment?" and "Did it happen in real life?". CCP didn't seem to be too concerned with the answers to those two questions.

Itll be interesting to see what other parts of the game the Erotica 1 decision influences. If the GMs are going to take a "we cant say what the lines are, youll abuse them by tiptoeing them" stance.

I'll be honest, I stay subbed just for the eventual lawsuit. They might win in the short term via my sub money, but I think the payoff will be worth it in the end to drink CCP tears when they find out that I was right about something I've posted warning them about repeatedly. Yet Again.

Now just remember, if someone in EVE touches you in a bad place, you blog about it or Ripard to carry your flag for you (as he's all about removing evil from EVE)

Reminder: if you use the game to lure a player outside of the game to harass them, then are careless enough to brag about it on CCP's own forums, posting the evidence of your misuse of the game and making it easy for the rest of the world to find it in close association with CCP's trademarks, in-game consequences are more likely--no matter how many accomplices complain.

Quick question;

Are EvEMails in-game or Real Life?

For the purposes of harassment I mean.

Recently had a run in with the thread-creator of the Monument being defaced thread, so she spammed my EvE Mail a lot.

Got up this morning to find three of her alts had also done the same.

Does this count as psychological torture or just the fun of the game?

I can receive Evemails through Evegate out of game and through Evanova, so I dont have to be logged in to get these delights of literary wonder.
