All I want to say is yes I placed a snall bounty on a player many months ago and I am still getting spemmed endlessly with mails of his death.

Sure I felt a small amount of happyness at his death at first but now I am the victim of endless spamage CCP STOP THIS ANOYING BULL S-IT PLEASE! XXXXX

Yeah, you still get them even after your bounty pool has been depleted.
I like it though. I get to have a mini celebration every time Harry Forever dies, for just 100k.

Oh man, consequences in EVE? Why, CCP, WHY?!

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

I guess coding a checkbox somewhere to decline notifications (for anything...POS fuel status, whatever) is too much a diversion of resources or something.

Could also be a feature, to prevent abuse of the bounty system.

Wait, can't you just right click the bounty section and click delete?

Someone put a bounty on the entire corporation I'm a member of. I can't imagine the spam they are saddled with now.

LOL

I dunno, this seems a suitable reward for not thinking about the pointlessness of your action :)

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Enlighten us as to just exactly what your massively, hugely important secret mechanic is that you are not mentioning, and we are apparently too dumb to know............
