Edited by: GIJoe Rhomo on 08/09/2008 15:34:33 We're all adults here. At least most of us. In game experience may vary is on the cover of every game sold in the US, and most other games understand that they can't control the occasional swear or rant, and that people occasionally need to blow off steam. At the end of the day, no one ever really takes it personally unless they are socially mal-adjusted.
Be completely honest. How many of you have ever called someone a ***got [bundle of sticks/person of the homosexual persuasion/or slang for just being a jerk with no connotation at all]? I am willing to bet it's 99% of you. I bet none of you really meant it. I bet it was just the fastest thing you could think of, when you wanted to make apparent to a person that they were a jerk. Maybe you meant no harm by it at all. Maybe you were petitioned for calling someone in your own corp a ***got in jest, and banned for a week. I know I was.
As of right now, the petition system is completely and totally broken regarding player abuse. The Mods have absolutely no discretion, and at the risk of someone being butt-hurt, they blindly ban anyone without A) warning them B)looking at the context C) looking at the entire conversation. It's entirely subject to who submits the petition first. of course, if this person is not in your corp, it's going to be the most unfavorable depiction they can think of. I, myself, have done the exact same thing at the urging of ex-CEOs as a form of protest.
Enough is enough. I just got banned for a week. I have no clue what for, because CCP won't tell me. All I see is a message when I try to log on:
User GIJoeDirtbag is banned Last login: 2008.09.06 15:40 Number of visits: 1291 Reason: Repeated warnings or ingame violations about offensive language. Until: 2008.09.15
So I file a petition, asking what for, and it won't be answered for a whole week because CCP is overloaded with petitions. I WONDER WHY THIS IS. Maybe it has to do with the fact that they entertain every single petition that has to do with anything that is even slightly off color.
I've worked 36 hours in the last 3 days. I get home, and I just want to play a game with my friends. If someone calls me a ***got, I don't care. I'm 25. I'm a man. I don't take it personally because ultimately, the person on the other end of the line doesn't know me, and it's a default response for anything said on the internet.
I don't know what it was that I said on my main account, GIJoeDirtbag. I do know that I had the lyrics for "Springtime for ******" in my bio to protest another ban that I got. Who here hasn't seen "The Producers" and laughed? I got banned for a week for saying "Don't be stupid be a smarty, come and join the **** party" in local. The people who petitioned me said I was a **** propagandist. After informing CCP that it was a line from the most profitable play in Broadway history, they laughed and banned me anyway. For those of you not familiar, here is the link that I even had in my Bio: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0395251/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063462/ It is a Broadway play written by a Jewish comedian, Mel Brooks, satirizing the ****s and Broadway, not propaganda.
CCP operates under a "When in doubt, ban them all" mentality. Considering that they're dealing with pay-for play accounts, this is inexcusable. Goonswarm was encouraged to counter-petition for anything remotely offensive in local in response to hundreds of gags and bans received on our own part. All PVPers in 0.0 use it as a strategy. They're not offended, they act offended to get people banned for laughs.
This ignorance is unforgivable, and it costs you game time. Therefore, it costs you money.
If you agree, and you're tired of the use of petitions as a form of harassment, let CCP know right here. Please keep it respectful, and don't bring corp/alliance rivalries into this. This is nothing short of censorship on a medium designed to encourage free speech, so speak up.

We don't like this line of conversation, it encourages dissent. We're going to close your thread and ignore any valid points. Dissent is contrary to the greater good. THE GREATER GOOD.
Hugs and kisses, ~CCP.

well the solution is REAL simple: If you dont know how to talk in local without crossing the petitionable line, then dont do it 
And well if your corp mates petition you for that.. lol perhaps you should consider a real corp?

Be completely honest. How many of you have ever called someone a ***got [bundle of sticks/person of the homosexual persuasion/or slang for just being a jerk with no connotation at all]? I am willing to bet it's 99% of you.
I guess I must be in the other 1% then.

I for one have seen the crap you and the rest of your swarm put into local and I know for a fact 99% of you don't have the brass ones to say what you say in the chat of an internet spaceship game, to someone's face on the street corner.
Quit your whingy little baby whine, take your damn ban 'as a man of 25' or quit and get a real life where you can properly have your buck teeth removed for calling someone a 'bundle of sticks' to their face.

I'd tell you that Deutschland is happy and gay, but I think it would be more fun to talk about the purity of our bodily fluids, floridation of the water supply, and then maybe go play a nice game of golf.....

you guys all signed the EULA, but i bet you didnt read it...
Well thats your fault, CCP CAN ban you, and if you repeatedly are stupid and start spouting off all kinds of things in local, you will get muted, then banned.
Its his fault, get over it, stop whining.
