Im pretty sure the goons owe sharkbait an apology for attempting to slander his name, Kieron and Ark an apology for making them work thru the night on a holiday weekend, and the general eve forum population for shutting down the forums when it wasn't needed.

Ignoring some of the more rediculous theories and tediously biased opinions from both sides for a moment.

This particular issue could have been sorted very simply. Telling DS1 what was happening, answering them when they asked why it happened, talking to them at least once while it was being investigated.

Blanket censorship is what brought this on and nothing else. The first time it happened turned up spawned BPO's, can you really blame everyone for being suspicious when history starts to repeat itself?

The question that you should be asking is why this became an issue with the corporation three weeks after their player submitted a petition.

Whoa, back up there pal. That's not the tone you take with paying customers, ever. People can have honest misunderstandings, and CCP shouldn't be alledging anything different unless they have absolute proof otherwise.

This was a customer service failure on CCPs part by not having enough customer contact. Why you're takings such a customer hostile stance makes me wonder what your employer is thinking allowing the community manager take up that kind of attitude.

2: As the joining of a corporation by a developer or GM is only done when there is an petitioned issue that requires our presence within the corporation and due to the fact that an EVEmail is automatically sent when the dev/GM leaves, our take on it was that this was not a big problem. That's certainly been disproved and from now on, any staff memebr needing to join a corporation in such a way will send an EVEmail to the corporation, announcing his presence and his intentions to the corporation. Hopefully that will ensure that such an innocent and insignificant issue does not take on such gargantuan proportions again.

This should have been policy from the get go. This is the internet, and tinfoil-hattery is stock in trade of its denizens. Thinking anything else was sheer complacency of CCP, ESPECIALLY after other events occurred.

As RE: question 1, Deleted, ignored, closed, whatever, the MINUTE someone filed a petition asking why these events took place they should have received a reply, NOT have to wait 3 weeks, incur the threadnaught, and wait 2 MORE days to be told ANYTHING about what happened. That is the real issue of this portion of the allegations.

I wonder if I'll ever get an answer to this...because the dev blog didn't address it.

CCP, how exactly do you plan us to believe that you'll remain impartial when we have members of the playerbase that shamelessly promote the fact that they have friends that work for you? Something obviously went wrong if you have a non-disclosure agreement...

Something tells me that no matter how mean sounding any non-disclosure agreements may be, they're obviously not followed through on if we have people like Dianabolic gloating about it. What else isn't followed through on?
