Hello Capsuleers,
We have recently taken some emergency action regarding the posting of malicious threads containing inappropriate and harmful links. After some discussion between various departments we have decided to restrict new accounts from logging into the forums for 72 hours while a long term solution to this problem is designed and implemented. This timer starts when the first payment is received for your account, not when it was created. We understand that this may cause some issues for new players so we would ask that you use the in-game GÇ£HelpGÇ¥ and GÇ£RookieGÇ¥ chat channels to have any questions on game play answered.
All newly created accounts can still browse the forums and read any current threads for ship set ups, mission or mining guides or starting your adventures in EVE Online. All accounts can also access our EVElopedia which has hundreds of useful articles for all players.
We thank you for your patience and understanding.

Is this still true? How can trial players use "EVE Trial Citizens Q&A" section if they can't login to forums during trial period + 72 hours after first payment?
Or are you saying that new accounts can login to forums initially, but after they pay, there is 72 hour period when they can't login. Doesn't really make sense ...

Basically, you can post to the forums...when it let's you post to the forums.
This is preventing malicious people from abusing others or potentially gaining access to your computer. And keylogging malware can be especially vicious, in that it will keep track of you keystrokes and report them to a foreign entity. Some versions even get into your anti-virus, gain control of it, and create a safe spot for itself so your anti-virus cannot detect it.
In other words, they are doing you a favor, regardless of when you can create a post. There is still the info there in the forums and on the website if anyone needs it to help them with an issue, just can't create threads. |

This is a carryover from the old forums. We currently do not have a timer on the new forums and will let you know if that needs to change for any reason.

edit: shouldn't this be stickied?

This restriction also restricts the ability to get API information. |
