This can easily be bypassed by paying 1.6 million ISK. I don't know about you, but 1.6m is not a whole lot. I suppose you can look at it as a hefty one-time CSPA charge. Maybe it will be enough of a barrier.
I like the spirit of Marsha's solution, but in my situation Sibyyl was the second highest SP character on my account and I've never posted as anyone else. I post as Sibyyl because I identify most with her and feel that she's the closest thing to me. Sib's SP was lower (by a few thousand SP) because her implants/remap wasn't as optimized as my PVPers and I've used MCT since I started EVE.
There is another issue with highest SP requirement.. some people may feel that it exposes their main to retaliation or stalking because of unpopular opinions they may voice at one time or another on the forum. On Brave's subreddit, there are similar concerns sometimes and we had an interesting discussion about it: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bravenewbies/comments/23vkqv/can_we_stop_with_the_throwaway_accounts/
My thought is that sometimes people need an avenue for anonymous dissent, but too often this tool is misused for blatant baiting and ranting.
I do agree that faceless alts add pollution and I'm interested to see what potential solutions could be..

This has turned into one of the worst suggestions I've read in a while in F&I.
If I'm able to roll alts to awox, spy, steal, sow discord, and destroy inside the game I'm more than free to do the same on forums. Learn to use the block function, like anyone does in Jita Local and be responsible for your own good content filter.
Obfuscation of identity is one of the key forms of play in this game. It's unfortunate that you have to resort to threadnaughts to nerf someone else's style of play.

Oh, and I'm missing the place where any semblance of data is presented in the suggestion creating the thread.
Your perception of NPC alts invading the forums with nonsense appears to be based your narrow and biased perception alone. The percentage of NPC alts who violate forum rules and are reprimanded with temporary or permanent bans is data that is unavailable to you so I'm failing to see how you can draw any scientific conclusions from your "feelings" on the matter.
Lastly, 1.5 million ISK? I fail to see how a corp creation fee that is a deterrent of any kind. .. when everything else is gone .. |

Don't you think you should use an already-available forum block function instead of suggesting a game mechanic change that impacts a bunch of people who never use forums? Forum participation is a minority of EVE players.

If it blocked by account you'd have a point but, I can ignore npc alt 1 only to have them make npc alt 2 and continue their garbage. You have the same limitation in Jita Local and no blocking function changes have been made in EVE, or planned.
Why should the forums be any different? .. when everything else is gone .. |

You have the same limitation in Jita Local and no blocking function changes have been made in EVE, or planned. Why should the forums be any different? Jita local should be different as well and I think everyone will agree with me when I say chat bots should be pursued and banned just as much as any other kind of bot. Those bots are exploiting the mechanic just as much as the npc corporation members are on the forums. I think you're understating the intelligence that can be gathered from an account-wide blocking functionality. No one, without an API or being CCP, should know which alts are linked by an account.
If someone is botting in Jita Local then the report function is available for you as recourse. I'm not sure why CCP has to code an account-wide blocking function for you if you are unable to right-click > Block on your own.
I'm also not sure what the parallel is between botting in Jita Local and non-EULA breaking posts on the forum. One is a violation of EVE's TOS and one, though personally irritating to you, isn't a violation unless a CCP employee finds it to be. .. when everything else is gone .. |
