And how did he got the names from cancelled accounts? Magic?

I got it too, all the names seemed to be people in my corp too.

Why does his name seem familiar?

I see only a few things here:

1) People who are ...

One thing I would like to clarify is that the mails to the Goons (and some other nullsec blocs) were accidental.

After I had compiled my list, I filtered it by estimated priority, and obviously people in Goonswarm aren't going to vote for me, so they and others ended up at the bottom of the list. But somehow they didn't get deleted.

If it's any consolation, this caused me to (a) waste several hours and (b) receive quite a large number of EVEmails from aggrieved goons. Some of them were quite eloquent and enlarged my vocabulary.

If you really want to get back at Trebor vote for Mittens.

I like you Trebor, I think you're one of the few guys I'd actually want on the CSM. I just don't like mass mails, or the possibility of this becoming an actual and widespread campaign tactic. I'm protesting against the method, not the person. Unfortunately, you happened to be the first one to do it.

If I were dumb enough to take you seriously, I wouldn't deserve your vote. :)

However, I do believe that Darius III is once again offering PLEX for votes.

Trebor

How much ISK per vote we talking here?

so actually you are saying it is allowed to automate the usage of evegate by a script to send evemail

or do you just look the other way on how someone can evemail a few thousand users, and claim you think its done manually?

How many of you got Alliance or Corporation eve-mails telling you to vote for candidate X? And then came here to cry about getting one mail from a candidate not in your alliance or corp?

Trebor, at least now I see you hold a special (and desperate) interest in clawing yourself to your current CSM post, at all cost. I'll find the reason.

There's no way I'd vote Trebor but just sending one mail for everyone isn't really spam. (in this case since it's CSM election advert)

I confirm there was a good bunch of bitches spamming response button for no good reason though. Most of them probably goons or goon alts. So go figure who's spamming.

Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately. While the most widely recognized form of spam is e-mail spam, the term is applied to similar abuses in other media: instant messaging spam, Usenet newsgroup spam, Web search engine spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, online classified ads spam, mobile phone messaging spam, Internet forum spam, junk fax transmissions, social networking spam, television advertising and file sharing network spam. It is named for Spam, a luncheon meat, by way of a Monty Python sketch in which Spam is included in almost every dish.

well the post is exemplary for the kind of "news" your website stands for, made up stuff that fits the interest of the inventor. I have not forgotten your speech about "implied evidence" about russians botting, and then publishing an article on what bots are and how to keep bot save on your website.
Even if the article has been removed meanwhile, the internet does not forget, everyone who googles its title (not mentioning it here, since you have done enough damage to the game allready) is still able to find your guide.

If you ask me, you should never have been allowed as a candidate.

You attacking Trebor in this light looks alot more desperate - than what Trebor did - to me.

I'm perfectly fine with that -- and btw, direct outreach via evemail has been used in prior elections.

It is no secret that I think there are serious flaws in the CSM voting mechanic, and that discussions about changing it will be a priority for me if I get re-elected. If a reasonably fair election environment can be worked out that permits some sort of balanced direct outreach, then I'd have no problems with additional restrictions on evemailing by candidates.

BTW, Ender Black totally put the issue in the right perspective in this blog post.
