There are no ways to ensure beyond all doubt that spies don't make it into a corp, or to ensure that established members don't become corrupt. However, if a corp is serious it will use whatever methods it has to within the EULA to find out how many accounts you have, how many characters, and what their affiliations are. I don't think it's silly at all when the cost of a poor screening process could strip an established corp of billions in materials through theft and corruption.
Using Eve-Mon to keep tabs on what people are training is a new one on me though. I guess if a corp is dead set on not having its members do anything other than one particular profession 100% of the time it makes sense although I personally wouldn't find that sort of corp appealing.

How can they find out how many accounts you have?
By requiring a screenshot of the login screen with accounts menu extended, and something in the background to verify the time it was taken (like an online newspaper with the day's headlines or something.) It can still be edited if someone is a bit handy with Photoshop or something but it's still better than nothing.
I know at least some people require this because I had to do it once.

...and they never realized someone could just log onto windows under a different name?
I dunno. It was just one recruitment requirement out of many, but as far as checking on the number of Eve accounts a person has it's the only method I'm aware of. Like I said it's better than nothing, if not necessarily by much.
edit: and wallet screenshots can also help with this too, if people are transferring money regularly to other characters.
I don't really know how effective any given recruitment task is at keeping undesirable people out of the corp. I just know the various things I've had to do in the past. Anything that doesn't require an API can be faked without great difficulty though. Even wallet transactions can easily be edited with an out of game image program.

See section 2B
Quote:
You will be assigned a login name and a character name during the registration and character creation process. You may not allow anyone to use your login name or character name to access the System or play EVE. No player may use the character name of another player to impersonate or falsely represent his or her identity. You may not obtain, attempt to obtain, use or attempt to use the login name or character name of anyone else.
I think you're misinterpreting that. It says you can't use the login name or character name of anyone else. It doesn't say anything about just knowing the login or character name of someone. I mean, we all know each others' character names anyway, and since they lump both login and character names together in that section it leads me to believe what they're saying is that you just can't use it to actually do things with like log in to someone's account or impersonate them. |
