EVE General Discussion

First, there are specific rules in place regarding messages left by players in game, they are covered by the Policies in general and specifically the Terms of Service.

T.o.S rule 2. You may not use any abusive, defamatory, ethnically or racially offensive, harassing, harmful, hateful, obscene, offensive, sexually explicit, threatening or vulgar language. (Alternate spelling or partial masking of such words will be reprimanded in the same manner as the actual use of such words.)

The EULA however states in subsection 2. D:

...Nonetheless, it is possible that at any time there may be language or other material accessible on or through the System that you may consider inappropriate or offensive to some users. You acknowledge that other players may transmit communications or content, or access to content, that you may consider inappropriate or objectionable. CCP does not, as a matter of policy, prescreen the communications or content transmitted by each player and is in no way responsible for the communications and content transmitted by players of the Game.

In essence it boils down to this: If the messages on the cans do not break the rules (see above T.o.S. rule 2 for example), you have agreed to be confronted with them by accepting the EULA and you will have to live with it.
Tip: ignore containers on the overview and/or don't read the messages in the container names.

If however you feel rules have been broken by any message in game, please feel free to file a support ticked.


Having said al the above regarding in game messages, I would like to point out that this forum has it's own set of rules. Discussing real life religions almost always leads to a lot of posts breaking many of those rules.
So please people, no discussing of any religion from this point on.

+1. I could care less about what the message says except it breaks immersion. I'd rather be focused on delivering swift justice to dirty miners, not being distracted by reading cans...

Besides I get enough crazed bigotry at work based on ancient tomes and Leviticus.

I have noticed on my jumping around the place that cans advertising religious messaging cropping up all over the place. Sadly it is the Christians that have instigated it and that annoys me.
This GAME is about relaxing - getting immersed in an alternate reality that has little to no bearing on many things in RL - politics and religion included (Eve roleplaying scenarios excepted). In my reality I do not include religious messages or do I want them and I want to see if they can also be removed from the game.

MY petition:

Either 1.) I move to have cans carrying ALL messages removed from the game AND/OR
2.) remove the capability for messages to be placed on cans AND/OR
3.) Give messaging cans a space life to self destruct

If you back this motion, pls post with +1.

If you have an alternative and possibly better suggestion that achieves the same end with reduced programming requirements, please post that here too.
