In common with the other forums, Crime & Punishment will be having a bit of a spring-clean in the near future.
Included in this will be a review of the rules for Crime & Punishment, so if you have any suggestions or any sites or threads you wish to highlight to be added to a resource thread, now is your chance.
Please post below with any rule change, new rule submission or resource.
Mr. Mitnal
Please do not open up killboard linking, or relaxing rules regarding killmails. It's already mundane for most eve players to google players, alliances, corporations for killboards. The only real interest in Crime and Punishment in regards to killmails is only the gravity of loss associated to a kill.
Such loss can be fused easily into an attractive story, without the official document at hand. A story about some Ibis carrying a multi-billion isk module through 0.0 and going afk at a stargate. The plot really is about how someone got lucky.
Crime and Punishment encourages the propaganda machine, just as much as other portions of this forum. This will often result in undue hardship on the victim, or even the perpetrator if their actions aren't all that impressive to others on the forum.
On the other hand, I do think "pod or post" is a humorous antic and every time I see one I chuckle a bit. While it might be true they don't contribute much to the forum, I do argue it does hint on the real issue and that's the might of the assailant. I don't think they are as much to embarass the victim as they are to advertise and qualify aggression and dominance of a particular group in an area (i.e. a startup pirate corp might be inclined to have their first victims 'pod or post', to get their name out there). Maybe "pod or post" posts should be required to contain the system the even occured and what group is associated to the demand. Maybe even a new forum for real life Pod or Post submissions, which can be used tactfully by anti-pirates to monitor aggressive trends.
It's worth noting that some "Pod or Post" posts, might be a result of good nature on both parties, in the event that the victim really doesn't have the funds to cover the ransom; so the pod or post becomes an acceptable alternative.
In short, I favor tighter rules regarding posting killmails/fanmails etc. But the Pod or Post posts are a treat.
