    C'mon Tippia, you're better than that. That was NOT the reason he was banned.

    Whom are you referring to here? Which “he”are you talking about?

    You made the comment that CCP have a habit of banning people who bring content when you spoke of Helicity. He wasn't banned because he bought content - in fact CCP used to happily advertise and support HG.

    I agree with CCP on this one.

    I say let DHD rot in his cell and think about what he did.

    This thread is actually a good thing.

    It allows the left-in-the-background pets of the little bees to assert themselves like they are somehow important. Even pets need a little ego boost every once in a while or they bite the hand that feeds them. My guess is that it was one of Mitten's minions that came up with the idea. The pets were just the tools to implement it.

    Greetings, and hello, CCP! I would like to commend you on your recent actions to put your playerbase in line. The mere thought of thousands of peasants using your petition system to show their concern over a change of policy boils my goat. It is good that you permanently ban the individual who constructed such a civil campaign, so that you can show your playerbase exactly what you think of them. Please continue to overreact to this situation so you can properly escalate the playerbase's response. Then, perhaps, they may understand the true meaning of your companies name. Control the crowd, crush dissent, ignore feedback.

    They didn't change the game policy. You are still free to scam potential recruits to your hearts content.

    What they (CCP) actually changed was the channel policy. Anyone can set a policy for any channel they control and enforce it by kicking members of the channel and blocking them. I can create a channel right now and ban anyone that joins it with a character name that starts with Z. Here's the important bit: The game's policy on names beginning with Z remains unchanged. You can create them all day long if you like. I just won't let them stay in my channel once I discover them.

    As for the reason for the ban, that had nothing to do with questioning the policy and everything to do with starting an asshat petition storm. Perhaps CCP is slightly less tolerant of the frat-boy antics when it impacts them directly.

    De'Veldrin's Corollary (to Malcanis' Law): Any idea that seeks to limit the ability of a large nullsec bloc to do something in the name of allowing more small groups into sov null will inevitably make it that much harder for small groups to enter sov null.

    Yah Hel was banned for using a dev's name and a version of the phrase "die in a fire" and CCP deemed it real life threats.

    I have issue with that cause when the Devs use their own real life names in youtube vids etc, and some CCP employees (Sreegs for instance) dont mind it when you call them by their real names, it gets hard to ban someone for using real names od devs. Either its bannable or its not. There shouldnt be special exceptions.

    Also, if everyone on the boards was held to the example that saying "diaf" or a variant of that was a "real life threat" how many of us would be left after a month?

    Hmm… yeah, fair enough. Still sounds a bit silly that they ban legitimate gameplay from the official channels though (and even more silly that they try to include completely unenforcable restrictions).

    …which is at the same time both questionable and should be extended to more than just him.

    Soon they'll ban the use of his name from the forums, we've seen this kind of ham fisted justiced handed down by Screegs and his gestapo before.

    I think the "reason" for this is fishy. Cause if it was all kinds of ppl filing petitions for the same thing

    Bots

    Goonswarm has been unfairly characterized as bot-friendly, and we'ds like to counteract that. Basically all ice miners are bots. Report them after you kill them! This way, not only do you kill them, you get them temp-banned!

    Good signs: their pod tries to mine, their orca stays on the field for hours after all macks are ganked, or just they continued mining after you blew up 10 of their best buddies.


    Mittens would be getting the same thing for suggesting in his GS Shrugged thread to petition every miner they kill as a bot.

    lol?
