He wrote this rather badly tbh but he is saying that he nor anybody else has the info, maybe you should take a few deep breaths and chill a bit from your witch hunt and while he is learning to write a bit clearer you can learn to read a bit better. |

If you could stop flaming long enough to read the sense of what I wrote we might have some decent discussion here. If on the other hand you want to treat this like CAOD mk2 then I'd respectfully ask you to go back there and stop messing up this forum for other users.

Torshin had he just said it was a typo in the first place, rather than try to make me out as some flamer and not mention going back to change his post to make it seem that way then we wouldn't be here. But admitting mistakes and making up for them doesn't seem to be something Jade can do. I apologise if my first post was a bit inflammatory, but that is because i found the way his post seemed to implie that ccp shared information with him very worrying.

it is quite clear that while yes his OP did seem to read like you posted that that was not his intention and was just a simple typo which when pointed out was quickly corrected. If you could keep your childish flaming and pathetic posts out of my thread that would be great.
While i do not agree with some of your posts torshin your honesty has just scored you a lot of points. The other drama bombers however need to **** off back to caod.

Only after it was edited. When someone makes a mistake which causes someone to ask a question. Usually the person who made the mistake says "sorry, i made a mistake and left out neither, i don't have any information". They do not say "you suck at reading stop trolling!"
The fault lays on the one who made the error, and Narciss made no error in reading what Jade wrote. Its not a big deal so long as the person who made the, what seems to be, completely honest mistake doesn't go ape**** when someone asks a legitimate question regarding what was actually posted.
Some guy in GF found a section on the forums where i typed "president" instead of "precedent". Did i change it to "precedent" and then call him a dirty liar? No, i said "whoops" then fixed my mistake. Then we went on our merry ways. Everyone was happy.

While this may be true I think this current discussion is taking away from what has become a very good thread. The amount of support for this issue is right up there with the top issues in the assembly hall and I feel that we should get back on the matter at hand which is taking steps to put in a review process or appeals process for bans.

Since the actions of Kugu can arguably be blamed for the formation of the CSM (maybe not directly but the idea of oversight and IA for example), I'd say this is one of those rare occasions where the specific case *should* be argued. Just remember that if he hadn't done what he did there may not have ever been a CSM or any sort of internal oversight such as the IA (at least publically) and issues such as dev corruption would have never been checked (and you wouldn't be getting trips to iceland )

Agreed.
Also, I agree with Go Maz. The fact that the CSM is more or less a direct result of Kugutsumens actions warrants that the issue be looked into and outweighs any concerns regarding whether or not we have the evidence to judge. With the CSM bringing it to the Agenda they will have to, at the very least, share the information with the CSM(as they must give reasons for any acceptance or refusal in writing) who will be able use their judgment regarding whether or not CCP acted a proper manner and whether or not the appropriate measures have been taken, or need to be. |

I cannot and will not support a individual case as that is a bad way for things to proceed.
But i will and would support a motion that allows a separate or board to review cases of bans individually and perhaps over turn them if justification is found to do so.

The point remains, Kugutsumen did this game a great service by dragging so many things into the light. What matters is that corruption was exposed and he forced it to be dealt with by making a compelling case.
His reward? The banstick. This was a knee-jerk reaction by CCP and should be reversed. Whistleblowers should not be punished, they should be rewarded. Read up. The information is in plain sight for anyone who knows how to use the internet. The story of Kugutsumen's discoveries is one of the most interesting stories this game has to offer, and has generated untold publicity for this game, some good and some bad.

With all due respect, this is THE individual case. There are no other cases like this by any stretch of the imagination, and I believe much of the MMO world is still watching to see what the final verdict will be. Not understanding this demonstrates a lack of understanding in the issues or facts surrounding the Kugutsumen debacle.
We're not asking for the CSM to become a court of appeals for anyone, we're asking for this one very special case to be reviewed and hopefully the ban reversed due to the very high-profile nature of the issue, and the vast public support for Kugutsumen. |

I do not care about this or any other individual case although in matter of fact i do know about the case as i was playing at the time.
My point is that it cannot be treated as a individual case and the whole banning/appeal structure must be looked at if that is what ppl wish or it is not a fair system as popularity or lack thereof is not a just reason to ban or unban somebody. |

Noone knows exactly what happened with the Kugutsumen bannings, bot even some of his better friends in S******dly, but surely since it is such a hotly debated topic, if CCP had nothing to fear, they would expose the truth to clear their name.
This arguement needs redigging up and looking into and I believe the CSM is the only way we have the power to do this. If any CSM member wants to disagree with this then I invite you to reply to this post and argue against it. |

The Kugutsumen banning was justified using some catch-all Terms of Service Agreement clause as the result of a dev decision to ban him for the trouble he was causing to CCP (at least one would assume this was the reason; CCP kept very quiet during the t2 scandal). It did not happen as part of any normal established banning procedure and therefore overturning this ban would not require the creation of any broader system of appeals for other bans.
You say it cannot be "treated as a individual case" but this was exactly what happened to ban him in the first place; his ban was extraordinary (in the literal sense) and his unbanning would be equally so. |

Every ban can be portrayed as an individual case just like this one is, if a appeal system is to be implemented i will vote for it 100%. However i will not support the use of the CSM for each individual case as doing so will be decided on popularity not on the full facts. |

If every unjust ban could be examined and overturned I would totally support it, however most of them happen completely out of the limelight in the privacy of email notifications. The Kugu case was completely in the open for all to see and is probably the only ban of its kind that has any reasonable chance of generating enough support to convince CCP to even blink at it.
An appeal system is incredibly unlikely; do a little bit of good instead of overstretching the CSM authority in search of justice or whatever.
CCP admitting a mistake, even in light of them creating the CSM council as a result of Kugu's actions, and actually going through with any unbanning I feel is very unlikely however, and this discussion is probably entirely academic. I hear "hope" is a pretty powerful political message these days though so we'll see. |

The first part of your post is exactly why one player's case can't be a CSM issue. Every banned player has a sob story or an excuse as to why they shouldn't have been banned (how many of these stories are legitimate is another matter). If you ask the CSM to champion the cause of this single case, you are asking them to give preferential treatment to a single person based on the popularity of his issue. This would move the CSM out of the role of a representative body for the playerbase as a whole and into the realm of giving individual favors to friends, associates, etc., which I think we can agree is a bad idea. Either that, or in order to be fair representatives, the CSM would have to take the time to personally review the case of each and every banned player, which would be a huge waste of time and entirely beyond the scope of what the CSM is supposed to be doing. They are not here to handle individual player complaints, that's what customer service is for.
If the CSM wants to work to get CCP to set up an impartial review process open to all former players, that would be entirely different. Even so, we would have to keep in mind that it is CCP's game, and they have the final say on who plays and who doesn't, regardless of what we may think is fair. If in the end you can't put up with their rules and decisions, then the best thing to do is take your money to someone else's game. |

Every player can come up with a sob story true, but they can't come up with a sob story that involves them doing absolutly nothing in game, being punished under a general EULA term for causing them headache that didnt' break any actual rules.

They can't? Why not? Do you know the circumstances of every single player ban that has been issued by CCP? I don't think so, and I don't think that the CSM have that knowledge either. My point is that singling out one special case sets a bad precedent and opens Pandora's Box, either requiring the CSM to perform a job which they were never intended nor equipped to perform, or paving the way to corruption by favors to the popular. Opening an issue like this could very well be the start of the downfall of the CSM as a useful and fair institution. Is that really what you want? I'm sorry if a player was treated unfairly, I'm sure he's not the only one, but you have to look at the bigger picture here. The fact is that this is not the way to go about solving the issue. Giving one player an unfair advantage over others simply because of the notoriety of his case does not correct past unfairness, it only creates a new disparity.

I guess the point is that at the time he was being banned CCP was pretty much going emo on his a**. And they basicly banned him for giving them a hard time. A good reason would have been because he posted RL information on the forums but so did Molle at the time. And he didn't get banned for that. (I won't link to the blog where the most of this is explained but it isn't hard to find.) I'm no fan of the man nor his play style but what CCP did was/is wrong IMHO. And I'd applaud the CSM if they try and sort this out with CCP. |
