Sohkar has not been banned, at least not of last night when he was on Eve Radio having a discussion with Erotica1 and others.
edit: twitch.tv/everadiolive

In that interview he in fact said that he maybe deserved a ban as well because of the things he said in the recording.

Sohkar can't be banned as per CCP policy

Quote:
We are not able to take anything from any third parties as evidences to accuse any players.


Seems pretty clear cut to me, anything you do on the Eve sever is banable, anything outside is not.

Not really sure what all the fuss is about, unless CCP are being inconsistent with their policies and I can't imagine they would ever do that now would they? Lol

Seems as relevant today as it was then...

Simple rules to play EVE by:

Don't trust anything CCP say about EULA/TOS/the magical "emergent gameplay"/0.01 ISK/etc
Don't trust anything forums trolls write

Either do it yourself and find out the hard way,

Or don't do it at all...

CCP usually doesn't reveal if a player has been banned, why don't you ask Sokhar himself?


Because he might call me the N-word!


Then you file a petition and he's done for. What is the problem?



That might be a good idea. If you listen to the recordings you can clearly hear him ranting and raving in temper and using the N-word to very great effect.

I don't have time for racists and wouldn't want to contact anyone or spend time with someone that uses racist language and terms of speech in an attempt to belittle other people. Anyhow other posters have quite correctly reminded me of the CCP privacy policy on this so I'll leave it be. I'm not in that much of a strong desire to know that would warrant me contacting him directly.

He was? Could you link the post where it is explained on what grounds Erotica got banned?

I guess the evidence is examined on a case-by-case basis. And a TS recording that matches up with in-game happenings (API, Pod kills) will have more value than some random screenshot of an e-mail that may be easily forged.

So to be clear, you're saying that racism and death threats are OK under some circumstances? Especially when someone got your internet space pixels. I disagree, there is NEVER a reason for that.

The amount of bullshit coming out of his mouth (Erotica 1) is amusing... He's just a nice guy trying to help people and always take their feelings into account... yeeeah..

Along these same lines, CCP cant use a 3rd party source to ban Erotica. After all the recording was made using 3rd party software and posted on 2 3rd party websites. Just saying...
Apply the damn rules equally >.>

If this is true then Erotica shouldn't be banned either.

Unless I completely missed something, we're still talking about asking someone to volunteer to read and sing songs in teamspeak in some elaborate scam to take their virtual currency that has 0 real world value.

Or did something else happen?

The policy seems pretty clear, the TS evidence can not be used at all so Sohkar cannot be banned (unless of course he has broken the EULA within the game itself as well and CCP has first hand evidence).

but the TS recording is what all of the fuss is about, so in this case it seems obvious that CCP have considered it as evidence.

I know that this is merely speculation, but the point of the original complaint to ccp was the bonus room antics, all of which took place on TS.

I don' thave time for sociopaths that attempt to hide behind the veil of a game when getting kicks out of publicly humiliating people for their own masturbatory pleasure. It would appear that CCP thinks the same which is why that deranged fool has been ejected from the game.

This ^


Read and comprehend Keyword reprehensible as unacceptable . Racism is never ok. I said he should recieve some punishment , but the CIRCUMSTANCES shuld be taken into account. To the best of my knowledge he has never spouted racist crap all over the internet , and made it public . His racist rant, deathreats etc was not intentional . It was a emotional spur of the moment reaction to which he apoligised . When your emotions run high you have never said anything you later regret. Unlike Erotica1 this was not premeditated , and planned out. That fact should be taken into account .

This might well be a case of one GM not knowing what the other did. Or the policy has been updated. But we won't know because CCP won't release details (and rightly so).

Thinking about it, the Mittani incident is pretty much evidence that this policy isn't as clear as you make it out to be.

I'd say that if he didn't intentionally spout racism, that's just as bad that he did, if not worse, since that means that when put under pressure his instinct is to resort to racism.

And sure, I've said things I regret under emotional stress. I've never and will never hurl racists abuse because of it though.
