Reading the EULA/TOS closely again, I found this:
Quote:You may not abuse, harass or threaten another player or authorized representative of CCP, including customer service personnel and volunteers. This includes, but is not limited to: petitioning with false information in an attempt to gain from it or have someone else suffer from it; sending excessive e-mails, EVE-mails or petitions; obstructing CCP Employees from doing their jobs; refusal to follow the instructions of a CCP Employee; or implying favoritism by a CCP Employee
You may not use any abusive, defamatory, ethnically or racially offensive, harassing, harmful, hateful, obscene, offensive, sexually explicit, threatening or vulgar language. (Alternate spelling or partial masking of such words will be reprimanded in the same manner as the actual use of such words.)
I also watched this panel video where this Goonswarm guy made fun of former victims by reciting some hate/tearmails.
What does this chain of events now mean for ME?
There is thousands of players all over new Eden, boasting and bragging, all those Websites about killmails. CCP emphasizing over and over again that the EVE universe is a harsh place and so on..
And then someone gets banned for not being nice to another player.
Where EXACTLY is the red line he crossed?
Mocking another player?
Publishing this mail?
Doing it on the fanfest?
Not verifying that a specific player who was griefed does not have suicidical tendencies as some have indicated?
I perfectly understand that CCP might have a serious problem, a legal problem, if they do not condemn this behaviour.
But after all, the game itself does encourage conflicts and villains.
Of course, I would never take this to a player-to-player level, but I strongly doubt that this counts for all 350k people in the game
After being provoked, it now and then might happen that some furious player sends mails ingame that contain strong language
And it will be impossible to decide what is meant or understood as a threat or insult to a character as opposed to a threat or insult to a player.
And then?
Name him a fool. Petition. Ban?
Sound metagaming.
I mean, seriously...
What exactly do you want the players to do?
I can only suggest to have a much more strict code of conduct for CSM members, but that won't solve everything.
Quote:You may not abuse, harass or threaten another player or authorized representative of CCP
The Mittani himself presented another mail in the same video where someone threatened to get him and send mercenaries after him if he does not turn over a supercap.
What makes that a legal threat and the grief-the-miner-thing not? |
