Can we turn this around as a community?

What I feel is fair to say:

• Sokhor does not feel like a victim (come on, let's not go so far to say this is a stockholm syndrome.. seriously)
• The bonus room has been going on for quite awhile before this event.
• Without the attention it has gotten, CCP wouldn't have to fear for bad press and take extreme action.
• Erotica 1 may of gone too far this time.

Scamming spying and all the dirty things are a part of EVE, carebear or not I think we can all agree on that. These things all take part of the meta game as much as they do in the actual game. I feel that if Erotica 1 was actually warned by CCP and/or asked to stop, he would of gladly done so if they felt it was truly bad for the game.

However much you hate Erotica 1 or feel what a sadistic person he is, we all know he is playing the scammer character to some extend and to be honest he represents that part of community fairly well, he is one of the bigger names who represent that side and it would be a little sad to see that go, we all know there is some roleplaying element here.

I don't actually know if Erotica 1's ban is permanent, but surely we can give the guy another chance, and not let the darker side of EVE's community die?

Take your own advice, what's done is done, STFU about it and let it drop.

And thus the circle of shitposting continues.

Are you one of those people that think scamming etc should be removed from Eve, or are you just pounding the keyboard for the sake of pounding the keyboard?

It's done, over, finished. Erotica has been banned for what I assume is taking things too far. Ripard got his witch hunt and tbh pushing his agenda in the way that he did, without bothering to consult Sokhar makes him as culpable as Erotica for any harm caused.

It's a difficult line to cross when META gaming is such a big part of EVE, you can't deny this.

All I'm saying is, surely we can find deep in our hearts somewhere to forgive Erotica 1, like said in the OP I truly believe that Erotica 1 would stop the bonus room if CCP requested that to be done, and perhaps even take it down a notch in general.

I hate to create the 10000's thread regarding this, but hey I think he should be allowed to play the game, just like you and me, after all we're all going to disagree with each other but IMO that doesn't mean we should put the banhammer down so quickly, what ever happened to a gentle conversation (out-of-character)?

No.

Please find some rat poison to eat and stop posting.

CCP chose one form of action against one party, and the community have already actioned the appropriate response to the other. Therefore, tis done.

CCP then reiterated where they believed the line to be.

I dont understand why this is still considered an ongoing topic

Okay angry Timmy Sprinkles, I appreciate what you've said and noted, now I would appreciate it even more if you could leave some space for others to put down their thoughts regarding the subject, 'yes Erotica 1 is wrong but are we really so bitter that we can't allow the poor guy to play again? Without warning?'.

Keep the trolling in your own hypocrite thread that would be great, you've voiced your opinion now.
