Ginger Magician to Miz Cenuij and 20 more in local (2007): "curl up and die" "ill find you in real life" (was immediately perma-banned from EVE because there was a GM in local removing corp roles from Miz Cenuij - Ginger was never seen again)
The Mittani to the EVE community (2012): "Incidentally, if you want to make the guy kill himself, his name is [name]. It's [spells the name]. He has his own corp. Find him." (banned for 30 days only)

He didn't threaten the wis, he simply encouraged some mild harassment (what some of you like to call cyber-bullying). |

The problem is that the internet is full of imbeciles. What you see as encouragement for mild harassment, lots will see as a demand that they immediately go and petrol bomb his house. You have to be really careful with what you say on the internet because people WILL take it out of context and things will go downhill quickly.

You might take into account CCP is complicit in Mitt's drunken tirade. According to the media laws in Iceland, not only are they complicit, they are legally liable for having allowed Mitt access to their media to perform his tirade. What makes it difficult for CCP is it can be well documented that they knew what sort of person Mitt is, and they found him amusing. It can even be said they encouraged him to do what he did. CCP can't afford to pretend EVE isn't real. In the eyes of their local constabulatory, EVE is very real. So are the behinds in the sling. Think about it. They ban Mitt for life. Mitt sues. Boom
This is why you exercise CONTROL. Once competant authority peels back enough layers, they'll come to realize CCP has only exercised token control and in very arbitrary ways. This adds up to IRRESPONSIBILITY, something the authorities frown upon.
Suffice to say CCP is now engaged in damage control 'cause they let their little attack puppy off the leash.

This is why EVE, CCP and the CSM need to have a wide-ranging debate about what's acceptable meta-gaming. There is a line - where ever that may be is part of the subject of the debate - and CCP needs a policy that consistently enforces it.
I've said this over and over - I've no problem with the Goons in game - in fact their gaming goals, the desire to burn Jita, it's all good for the game. But what we saw at the Alliance Panel, what we see daily on forums, what Alexander Gianturco himself has allegedly been subject to (death threats to his dog) - all of it is showing a far shadier side to EVe than we want or need.
It's time this was properly worked out. |

yeah but Ginger didn't save ccp in 2011 during the jita riots over the nex store or controls the largest blob of retards and uneducated pubbies in any game community.
Imagine if mittens was perma banned? mass CFC accounts unsubbing.
I would love goons to mass quit in protest of mittens being banned but ccp is a business at the end of the day. I'm sure he is still playing on his alts and collecting his tech money |

When you play EVE for years you will find out that a lot of people are addicted to this game and play EVE for a living. Some put a huge and insane effort into a second virtual life. I am 100% sure that these guys take such a call extremely serious. It's like working in creative business. Skills and talent will become be a part of your personality the more successful you are. If you fail at work you might get depressed because you believe that work, skills and talent are the most important thing in your life. A char, the ISK and all your stuff in EVE have a value. They are not pure virtual goods for free. EVE is not a game. EVE is work. And the more you play and work for it, the more you collect and the more you are a part of the community or finally a leader of a corp or big alliance the more this game will mix up with your RL-personality and you start to fly to Island to behave like a celebrity.

In-game threat about real life consequences vs Real life comment about in-game consequences. People lie about killing themselves often, most don't follow through. People tell others that they don't like that they should kill themselves all the time, or drink bleach, or play in traffic. Why is this different? Because the person claims they are unstable, we should tip toe around them like walking on glass?

Sad really that there are still players that are still dumb enough, or just brainwashed enough to believe mittens "saved" eve.

I guess you conveniently missed the part where mittens incited other players (in a live venue that CCP provided) to harass a player with the intent that the player kill himself in real life.
Quote: "Incidentally, if you want to make the guy kill himself, his name is [redacted], he has his own corp. Find him."
But keep on with the denials and spin to try to pass this off as no big deal. It makes it much easier to identify who is drinking the kool-aide.

Even putting aside all the debate about intent and semantics that's still a pretty large divide you're trying to bridge.
Harassment in game (regardless of someone's mental state) always comes with the option of walking away.
A death threat doesn't.
I'm not justifying what Mittens did but those two events are not comparable.
And let's just let this dead horse lie already.

I might suggest simple human nature. People seem far more willing to punish an anonymous stranger than they are someone with whom they've had even a passing acquaintance. We seem to want to believe that they people in our lives are of good and upstanding character, and we'll try and justify away their imperfections to protect our own view of the world.
As I recall several senior CCP employees are former Goonswarm members (CCP Soundwave? CCP Screegs?) and from his 6th CSM role I'm certain that he had contact with many other employees. So one of the actors in this little digital drama was a known quantity, that the team passing judgement had interacted with and probably liked, while the other was simply some random butt-hole on the Internet.
I've seen people defend a convicted child pornographer, not out of any great personal affection, but because they had worked side-by-side with the guy for a few years. They just couldn't grasp that they didn't really know the guy and that he could be such a terrible person. (PLEASE NOTE: This is not some innuendo about the current situation, merely a personal anecdote to demonstrate what I'm talking about)
So it would seem that, like it or not, we are hardwired to mitigate the personal failings of the people we know and be far less charitable to those we don't.

Mittens saved CCP from the Jita riots? How did I miss that? Oh, I guess it was his insult to CCP in his sig.
Actually, I took Hilmar's advice - I watched what CCP did and not what they said. - Just as I did in this newest Debacle.
I'm still parsing thru all the crap I missed while out of town to find out if mittens kept his word and resigned from from the CSM.
I thought his delay from his announcement to each new day was his hope to barter his CSM role for a reduction of a perma ban from CCP. And I'm not far enough into the reading of all the chest beating to see if that is what it looks like.
This has certainly been a great example of why the entire CSM is a bad idea. CCP's rep rides on the behavior of drunks in wizard hats.
CCP - HIRE A MARKETING FIRM TO QUERY THE MEMBERSHIP ABOUT WHAT THEY WANT AND THE DIRECTION THEY WANT FOR EVE.
A RIGGED ELECTION WITH 16% OF THE PLAYERS EVEN VOTING HAS NO VALIDITY!
oh yeah, I used caps, make a big deal out of it instead of addressing the issue.
Remember, the total number of votes for mittens just represents the margin of error for a study of the entire player population at this size. That any study of a group the size of this player base woud likely have a sampling error equalling the number of votes mittens received. The sampling error means the results could go that far either way and still be considered a feasible representation. Basically, that means the votes for mittens were statistically insignificant - just as the votes for all the others are equally insignificant. |

In 1875 in the state of South Australia it was legal to beat your wife with a stick narrower than your thumb.
In 2012 in the state of Rhode Island it is illegal to verbally imply future use of violence against a partner.
I think this comparison is worth an examination. |

Neither does the guy if in his mental state he goes through with his suicidal thoughts. Thats kinda the point. Also, youre assuming that the person is acting rationally and realizes they have that option.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humour
Quote:Humour or humor (see spelling differences) is the tendency of particular cognitive experiences to provoke laughter and provide amusement. The term derives from the humoral medicine of the ancient Greeks, which taught that the balance of fluids in the human body, known as humors (Latin: humor, "body fluid"), control human health and emotion.
The main problem might be, that all people understand something different as "humor". Making (primitiv) jokes about death and killing people might be funny for some, other can't even get a small smile out of them. And the next one doesn't see it as "humor" at all but as insult and misanthropy.
Over all one important part is missing when something funny is expressed just by text: facial expression
Mittanis problem was, that facial expression isn't controleble anymore when drunken. So even if he ment it as joke ... it wasn't recognizable becouse of his temporare condition ;).
Gingers problem is, that facial expression can't be see via text (except for smilys). So if he ment it as joke .... how should other know it if Ginger didn't use smilys?
Over all for west europe people it isn't funny to make jokes about "killing" or "suizid". If it is funny for US guys or anyone else on the world ... excuse us EUler ... we can't lought about it. Why the hell can't I fitt capital repairs or shield booster on an Orca ... it's an CAPITAL ship! |

I think this comparision is worth an examination.
I really thought a ban was not warranted until I heard his eve radio interview last night.
His behaviour is still self-interested, conceited and wrong.
He couldn't even bring himself to agree that CCP's 30 day ban of him was deserved.
In his speech to the goons he said "I've been f***** but we'll go on".
I can't see at all how it is that people cannot see past his obviously fake manner and fake apology.
I've changed my mind from 2 days ago, now I think he should be gone for good.

Just because he apologized and stepped down as CSM chair doesn't mean that he has to agree about the ban. And that doesn't mean that the apology wasn't sincere. This is especially considering that CCP decided on the ban all on their own without letting him know when he made his apology. |

So he thinks he's been harshly done by when it comes to taking responsibility for his actions?
I see...
It always amazes me that people think that if they pay the restitute that THEY think is reasonable, then everything's ok. As soon as they have to pay more than that, it's a harsh punishment.

I think this comparision is worth an examination. Mittani was talking about killing him in-game. He didn't make any real life threats. Nobody can force anyone to kill themselves with imaginary internet spaceships. The other thing that's different is that Ginger Magician was serious and Mittani was clearly joking. He's an alliance leader. If he wanted the guy harassed by tons of people he doesn't need to beg random people at fanfest. He has his own army. |

He certainly wasn't talking about going there and shooting him in real life. He was talking about purely in-game stuff. Regardless of what sensationalist bullshit about GTA on the news might have led you to believe, video games can't actually make anyone do anything. |
