You guys at CCP need to look into a bit of behavioral psychology. There is fixed stimulus and variable stimulus. The most powerful way to affect behavior is to combine the two. Begin with fixed stimulus and then switch over to variable stimulus, and you will train the EVE community to fear your anti-bot crusades.
What does this mean? Have a REGULAR bot purge every few weeks/months or so. Do this for 6 months to a year. Then switch the schedule and have irregular bot purges, sometimes doing them a few weeks in a row, sometimes going months between them. Eventually the botters will become so paranoid because of the unpredictable nature of the purges (after the certainty of a purge was hammered home through fixed stimulus) they will just give up and go elsewhere.
Anyway my $0.02 worth, from what I understand of behavioral psychology.

How would you prove "without doubt" that you did not cheat?
You don't need to prove that you did not cheat. The logs prove that you did, which is why you were banned. Any argument is just you trying to convince CCP that what they read in their logs is not true. But you don't know what is in their logs.
Botters tend to be greedy and unimaginative. I'm sure that someone who has a bot program set up to bot 30 mins a day probably wouldn't be detected by CCP. On the other hand, 30 minutes a day probably has a negligible impact on the economy, too. So it's a moot point. But the guy who has 20 accounts botting 23/7, uses the proceeds from mineral sales to buy rare in game items that apparently he just gives away to people, well, he's screwed. |

So it was the CSM elections then. Interesting!

Read the dev blog. It's good that they get character transfer disabled. However there are people bragging on "a certain website" about how most of their botting accounts are being missed, etc. I would sure like to think that this is not true... |

I find it curious that the Goons are supposedly upset about all this. How many times have they commented on the forums that they don't mine?
One merely has to look at all those high industry index systems in goon space to see how little they mine. This is the classic case of the guy who was responsible for that smelly fart saying "who farted?" and giving everyone an accusing stare. |

Over the past year I have seen one hulk in dek and it died.
Then you should pettition the decay rate for the industry levels over there then, cos they sure aren't decaying all that fast in systems like 5S-KXA and a whole bunch of other Industry 4, 3 and 2 systems that I won't bother mentioning. You need what, 12 million m3/24h to prevent an indy 5 from decaying, and 6 million m3 for an indy 4? Twice that amount for ice.
Yah, no miners in goon space. Your fart stinks. |
