Extortion racket? Do you think they care about 10m isk per year?

The payment isn't extortion, it's a compulsory token of good will to show they have embraced the code.

A 'compulsory token of goodwill' is an oxymoron though

4. Be respectful of others at all times.
The purpose of the forum is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas. Occasionally, there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Be courteous when disagreeing with others. It is possible to disagree without being insulting.


5. Ranting is prohibited
A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.


6. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Corporation, faction and alliance members and other players are cautioned to avoid allowing “in character” disputes from becoming "out of character" personal attacks. The game is designed for role-playing and/or portraying a role and it is sometimes easy for tempers to flare when the lines between the virtual world and the real world are crossed. Please keep in-game disputes in the game and off the forum unless it is clearly a mutual, in-character exchange.


7. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not contribute to the sense of community we want for our forums.


19. Avoid using profanity.

Using partial masking (such as asterisks or punctuation marks) to bypass the profanity filter is prohibited and will result in the same action as if the actual word had been typed.


20. Post constructively.

Negative feedback can be very useful, provided that it is presented in a civil, factual manner. Tell us what you don't like and why and how you feel it could be improved. Posts that are not constructive, insulting or rude may be deleted, no matter how valid the ideas behind them may be.

Ta for the cleanup, some posters were getting a little overexcited, myself included .

What some people fail to realise is that the forums, and some external Eve related sites, are very much part of the metagame, some of those people are new to the game, some are not, either way, it does need to be said that in Eve the metagame is very much part of the game itself.

I agree. It's a shame to see the miner defence committee resort to flaming and name-calling out of frustration. Even the OP, as a representative for the miners, starts off on an insulting and very unprofessional tirade, singling out an individual for attack. It's no wonder miners have a reputation of being likened to philistines when they present themselves this way.

You are misrepresenting my quote. I was referring to James' egging-on posts attempting to solicit abusive reposes on purpose. Please do not take my posts out of contexts for your own purposes. Thank you.

And while your last statement may be true, it still does not make it right.

Make what right, the statement? If it's true, then it's "right".

Not the statement, the fact that miners take abuse.
