Haha threats?
What's wrong with you?

Go take some meds haha

A threat differs from a statement but I guess they didn't teach you that in school.

Wonders of eve community. I have to say that as I will miss people like you. Complete morons who think a game means something more than just entertainment.

I like those people though. They fuel my games as well with their undying loyalty to pixels :)

Heh. Now it becomes clear that we are dealing with a 12 year old. Wait until you are a bit older and you might look back and understand what I said.

I said I'd have a drink with you.

Hello everyone,

For the last few weeks the community has been debating the topic of real life harassment, and its connection to the EVE Universe. The EVE Universe Community Team has been working on this issue for some time now, and has had extensive discussions about it with your elected representatives, the Council of Stellar Management.

EVE is a virtual world whose inhabitants have more freedom to play the villain and experiment with various backhanded tactics than in any other MMO. The freedom to scam and commit piracy, espionage, and extortion are all fundamental to the EVE Online experience, and CCP will never change that. However, it is important to remember that the EVE universe is a virtual world, and behavior of this nature should remain firmly within that virtual world.

While the content of online interactions between players cannot realistically be gated within our game worlds, CCP strongly disapproves of clear and extraordinary levels of real life harassment against our players in the outside world.

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.

Harassment poses a potential problem in any virtual world, and CCP has dealt with cases of this nature for more than a decade. We will continue to monitor and evaluate claims of harassment based on our policies and acceptable standards of behavior.

As always, CCP will not discuss specific cases of policy enforcement. However, if you have any questions regarding this statement, please feel free to pose them in this thread, and we will respond to the best of our ability.

WTF is wrong here? Why did I get a boner reading these words? I need a cold shower now.

I would gladly have a drink and a laugh with any other participant of the threadnaught, including Erotica1, except you.

No way, no how.

I do feel bad about one thing: we could have used that threadnaught to discuss how this entire underlying subject (harassment, abuse, and belittlement of fellow players) effects each of us in the long run in the realm of New Eden

Your loss.

I dont think so.

So in a hypothetical situation where you are able to scam someone of all their in-game assets(which is totally fine). If after accomplishing this fact you use their greed, and sense of helplessness and the emotional value those assets have to them to harass and humiliate a player for 2 hours, including harassing other people in the room , then post this online, and link to it. That person would be permanently banned from this community and game correct? With some level of punishment including up to and including permanent bans for any accomplices.

If that was the case I could continue to play this game with a clear conscience. If that was not the case and this hypothetical person was ever seen in game again. I'm not sure I could support CCP with my income, no matter how much I enjoy the game and its stories.

CCP,

I am the arbiter of punishments for Goonswarm Federation. Occasionally people do some dumb **** with our infrastructure and require some discipline. Are you saying I will get in trouble if I continue to make these people read erotic My Little Pony fanfiction over mumble and then record it and put it on youtube?

Thanks in advance,

Oh great, another imminent threadnaught of people too busy waving placards to understand two basic principles of online games.

CCP will never make a definitive list of what is or is not harassment, griefing, exploits etc... because a) every case is different, and b) don't ever lock yourself into arbitrary precedents.

CCP will never tell you what actions they have or have not taken against any particular pilot, corporation, alliance, account or player. Confidentiality. It's a thing.

Good few folks round here need to the keyboard down and step away from the internet...

It's sunny outside. See ya.

That's because you don't know what you're missing out on

I know exactly. I dont drink or associate with a person like you. I wouldnt even give you the time of day.

Thats that.

Does anyone have already a subtitle for what CCP said? Or they just talking without saying anyhting?

I think the behaviour and attitude Salvos demonstrates in these threads is toxic for the community. He repeatedly expressed the personal joy he'd feel if other members of the community were physically assaulted, and has demonised as many people as he could to try and push his agenda.

It's rather gross.

Good Talk

Now... what happens to our two lovebirds?

Namely:
Erotica1 - who has committed harassment of bannable to life proportions
Sohkar - who -although enraged beyond measure at that point- posted life threats on the voice chat

So what now?
To punish them both (Ero1 - life ban, Soh - 30 days ban) would be a hard but justifiable course of action.
