I had just posted this not 5 mins earlier. Beautiful CCP  Yea I copied it suspecting the thread would be nerfed.
Like others in this thread I suspect this is a whine post from someone in one of the alliances that Bob is plowing over.
On the other hand I have to disagree with those who say "forget about it already". A developer cheated on behalf of one group of players and he wasn't fired for it. Even two years later that still calls Bob's success and CCPs honesty into question. After all, that incident was just what we know about. Are we supposed to just believe that was the only favor handed out by a CCP employee?
We shouldn't get too hung up on that idea but we shouldn't forget about it either. Lets see CCP fire the cheater like they should have done and make amends to the player honest enough to bring his actions to light. Then we can consider forgetting.

CCP can't operate on Internet "law" or opinion as far as employee relations go, but must obey their country's employment standards laws. In most developed countries you can't discipline an employee twice for the same offence.
t20 had his hand slapped by his employer once well before the affair became public. Even if they were inclined to bend to public opinion they'd still have their HR people, lawyers, and Icelandic employment standards officials on their case if they tried to fire him for something they'd already disciplined him for. |

Technically he just cheated on behalf of himself, him donating the BPOs to his corp when he had to leave was quite a bit later.
He has been punished tons for it since, probably more than if he'd actually been fired.

"rant"? you need to read your own post I think. I even went as far as to say we shouldn't get too hung up on the idea.
The point I wanted to make is that when someone controlling a game shows preference to one party it spoils there game to some extent. Therefore it should be dealt with quickly and openly and not swept under the rug as CCP has done.
I think you are confusing "tears" with an opinion. Ive only found myself in a fight vs BoB once or twice since I have been playing so T20's actions have given me, personally, nothing to cry about

If any of us did anything remotely similar that affected the reputation of the companies we work for directly with our CUSTOMERS, there wouldn't have been ANY punishment. Because we'd have been FIRED within 5 minutes.
T20 should have been fired, PERIOD. His punishment should have been to be banished to only being able to work for SOE, a company which is made up of people on his moral and ethical level.
Firing him would have set THE example which would have discouraged all other CCP employees from doing similar things, because more than T20 almost certainly were and have done similar or possibly even greater wrongs to benefit themselves and their alliances. Abuse your power, **** off customers, harm the reputation of CCP, and the integrity of EVE and it's managment= fast track OUT THE DOOR.
Instead, it's left a cloud over everything, because not only has CCP not fired T20, their "internal affairs" person has been shown to be a joke, they've offered NO accounting of other Devs in alliances, not even a statistical count, and the CSM, originally promised to be formed to be a watchdog instead is powerless, knowledgeless, e-peen society with NO ability to police CCP.

Nono, calling for one of the developers of your video game to be fired isn't a rant you spoiled 15 year old. Please continue to post on the subject of the "2 year old internetspaceship BPO" and how its has helped us so much.
Just because you and your Northern monkey ass friends suck at internetspaceships doesn't give you the right to form an opinion on something you apparently know nothing about.

Some of the chat logs and stuff I've read concerning Bob leadership's complicity in this and other things tell me that you guys should consider yourselves lucky that Molle hasn't been permabanned. He should have been. Indeed, there is definite proof that he did things very similar to the titan pilot who was recently banned who had his titan confiscated.
If not for likely lingering Dev favoritism of the Band of Developers, it would have happened. What I find most ironic is the only person punished was the whistleblower. Which is sick.
Nono, calling for one of the developers of your video game to be fired isn't a rant you spoiled 15 year old. Please continue to post on the subject of the "2 year old internetspaceship BPO" and how its has helped us so much.

How about you try to get to know the person before you pass of this kind of judgment upon their character? And before you ask, I only know t20 as t20 via public channels. The impression I have of him is that he is a hard working, diligent, thoughtful person who loves to play the game, and has made amazing contributions to it, mired by one serious mistake.
Everyone is giving t20 far more flack than he deserves. He screwed up, yes. But the reality is that a Sabre BPO and 3 Tech II ammo blueprints is pennies of the income generated by a region's worth of high end moons and the literally dozens of other blueprints in the hands of Band of Brothers. However, because he did this one thing, he has gotten thousands of lines of vitriol and hatred, and became a sort of scapegoat for everything wrong with this game. Put yourself in his shoes. What do you think this kind of stuff does to your self esteem?
Nobody can distance themselves from the crap people give over something they truly care about. Do you think anyone looked at t20 the same way after this incident went public? I can only imagine what it did to his reputation in real life, and what regrets he harbors. However, I'm certain they are there. T20 is a nice guy. Every interaction I've had with him, and every person I've talked to who knows him says the same thing. CCP was right in who it chose to punish. In the end, the actions of t20 did not cause any significant change to the in-game status quo. Our favorite ouster on the other hand, was trying to extort game assets out of the company.
Give the poor guy a break, he certainly deserves one with all the ridiculous assertions, accusations, and general garbage thrown at him by the people who fair so terribly in game that their only recourse is to blame CCP for their own failings.

Spoiled 15 year old or paying customer? Adults know the difference because it matters in most grown up work places. Perhaps if you work in McD's such concepts are foreign.

CCP was in full blown "sweep it under the rug" mode. It was to their advantage to try to "make it go away" which is why the whistelblower was banned, etc. They tried to just disappear it.
The biggest disappointment I have is that the CSM was NOT introduced as what we were promised: That one of their prime roles would be to police CCP and keep them honest.
The BPO's were just what Bob/T20 got caught red handed with. There are many other unanswered questions...
What CCP should have done was come clean, lay it all out, detail their reforms, fire the perpetrator(s), then make Dev in game activity transparent in the future.
Since they failed to do that, I have little trust that Devs aren't still cheating.

Actually it is one of the reasons why Bob got beaten back, because it greatly damaged their morale, as the rank and file looked at their accomplishments and wondered how much of it was the result of cheating rather than skill/effort. Most of their losses happened right after it was revealed. Indeed, only now are they expanding again outside Delve/Querious/Period Basis since the T20 incident.
Of course, the T20 incident also motivated everyone else to jump on the "Kill bob" train, since they were quite justified in feeling that the Devs were cheating on behalf of Bob and that it was a cause they should unite in.

You guys just can't handle the fact that your achievements will always be tainted by the fact that one of your senior leaders at the time you were at the height of your power was outed not only as a Dev, but proven to be abusing his power to cheat for you.
Those are the facts, and saying that it's "in the past" won't make it go away.
Indeed, the fact that CCP won't provide any accounting of where the Devs are, and definitely chose NOT to investigate other allegations, just sweep that incident under the rug gives us legitimate reason to suspect that you are STILL cheating.
In other words, we have no reason to believe that indeed it is "in the past".
