Presumably because some people don't want their killmails posted, so privacy issue.

Would be nice to see an killboard from ccp.

Concerning privacy:
Hey the guy who shot you already has the killmail on you an most likely he is registered to a killboard posting his victim.

If you don't want your CEO to publish corp killmails talk to him or found your own corp. If you don't want to be on a killmail as victim... well avoid to be victim. 99% chance is that your killer is posting it whether you want it or not. So no reason why your ceo should try to hide it.

o yes just what eve needs MORE stats for the stat junkys to jerk off to and show all there friends and talk about how epic there K/D ration is or how there winning the isk war even tho they have not managed to flip the station.



YES PLEASE GIVE ME MORE KMs we all need more KMs in a game that has nothing to do with comparing stats,

i did not know EvE had devolved into some kinda sports game where people track there favorite teams stats and brag to there co workers

A Concord killboard where nothing can hide... hmm...
+1

because we must know EVERY THING about the people your fighting with 0 work right?

Why do you hate the idea of killboards so much Mirima?

Not that I agree, but I understand the motivation. I'd recommend that, if something like this were implemented, to make it 'opt-out' rather then 'opt-in'; anyone who cares enough to remove themselves from the central killboard could do so, but the average guy, either not caring or not motivated enough to find and click the appropriate button, would stay there. That would make a better killboard then the current 'opt-in' systems like Battleclinic, which puts up a barrier to entry by requiring that people either post their own mails, or submit API info. Low barrier, I know, but enough to exclude a lot people, who simply don't bother to sign up for any killboards, and thus only show up on the kills of others.

Obvious trollpost is obvious.

As said before, I cannot prevent the winner of the fight using his killmail or maybe building some killmail on his own, noting down the time, place and ships involved and maybe the loot being salvaged. But that's all I'd want to be handed out. Simply said, nothing more than what is viewable in the overview and when looking at or into the wreck.

Even as a winner, when comparing the benefits of "operating under the radar" (meaning, no one has any idea of my favourite stomping grounds/loadouts/activity times) to "bragging rights" I'd still favour obscurity. If the loser doesn't want to publicize his loss, all the better for me, the next target may still be unaware of me being around.

It's about choice. I'd like to have the choice of not making my kills public. Current mechanics (Corp API key) take that away already enough, a CCP driven killboard would make that even worse.

You assume that only the losing party wouldn't want to post a killmail, and that every winning party would/should want to broadcast to the entire EVE Community where, what, and when they operate.

I agree that a central CCP-controlled killboard would be a better solution than the myriad that we have now, but in the end, I think it should be up to each individual if they want to post their particular win or loss report. A given corp or alliance may not want to broadcast every win and so could practice a degree of OPSEC, counter-intel, and information warfare by posting some or none of their killmails.
