shoudl deter just about anyone i would think XD

The OP isn't trolling. I did not think of offering some annoyance for him in C&P.
I am going to put myself way out here on this reply...
I am gay, and because of how things are in the US in regard to homosexuals with children; I tend to be overprotective of him.
Am I overreacting a bit?... probably. It is seriously creepy when someone is willing to jump from game to game to "hunt you down" and your son reads a threatening email about someone wanting to kill you.
One of the reason's I let him play when I came back is because of the intensity of the game and it has actually helped him learn there are real consequences for choices; both positive and negative. I am sitting here with my finger over "biomass" for the last character, but this is something that he and I worked together on ... that doesn't happen often (that he is willing to be participative in a "shared" anything).
I think what I am probably most upset about is that CCP won't even give the guy a warning.

I know I smell of troll. Honestly, if I were trolling, I would not be posting under this toon.
I believe it was escalated... I had one GM then another GM and I (GM Arcade) got into a bit of an argument about killing the accounts immediately. I then spam "harassed" the petition. (Part of the reason for this post was to apologize to him for my horrible behavior.)
I could ask for an escalation I suppose. I would do that in the petition?

yeah and Im a ******* blind, deaf, albino lesbian eskimo with bad skin and 5 crack babies.

Pure BS

When something becomes important to him; it becomes important to me. I am guessing you don't have children, or one that has serious social connection issues. So yeah, it bothers me that something that I got him to connect with me on gets destroyed. IF you would like you can work him and beg him to simply talk to you... then have something that he "gets" and is willing to participate in a cooperative way taken away... Yeah that bothers me a bit!

Here's the reality, folks. If he's goign to be this persistent for this long, I don't think it's a troll.

That said, if you people had a special-needs kid, you'd understand where the OP is coming from.

Word to the unwise: If you can't empathize, shut up, stick your head up your arse, and waddle around like a nice little duck for Elmer Fudd.

Its not like that Herzog. He will have to live in a supervised environment his entire life. Do you sit with your children 24/7? I have taken the advice of everyone here and am going to approach CCP about alternatives I didn't think of.
I am not trolling anyone. I sincerely apologize to anyone that feels I am doing that.
I am very grateful for the advice and am working on resolving the matter in a more positive way than my initial reaction (yes reaction, not response... I should have thought before I jumped off a bridge).
For all of you who have given me a lot of options and ideas to resolve the issue, THANK YOU!!
For all those that I ave in some odd way offended with this post, I apologize; it was not my intention.

I will bite...

1. Set email to an email your son has no access to from a computer he has no access to (and is not related to any other email). Recover password will not help him.
2. Change password online from that other computer.
3.a. Control your son, dammit. Seriously, if he pursues this after being told explicitly not to, some form of discipline should occur. Though at this point, I cannot see how his "amazing wizardlike computer skillz" would help him access.
3.b. (Alternative to 3.a.) Let him deal with it, regardless of his condition, coddling will hurt him in the long run.

Note: Do not expect sympathy from us on how you, your son, or anyone is treated ingame as long as RL threats stay out it. This is EVE.

EDIT: Supervised environment? That sounds like keeping him off of EVE would be rather easy (seriously, see EVE up, flip switch on computer)

I'm going to bite on this.

1) Autistic or not, your son needs to learn to ignore the blustering of idiots. He's going to have to endure quite a bit of it in his life, more than most of us because of his condition. You should really be trying to help him learn to deal with this in an adult way, not trying to shelter him from it. Kids grow up and we need to let them.

I have two young sons. My oldest is very bright, and also socially...awkward. He's probably not on the autistic spectrum but he does make you wonder sometimes. I say that so you understand that I'm not just talking out of the wrong orifice here.

2) If you want to continue playing Eve without the harassment of Captain Nerdrage, you have some options:
--Sell your toons and purchase new ones of similar skill sets.
--Biomass your toons and start over
--Massive CSPA charges

3) No matter how clever a kid is, there are ways to keep them from getting past security measures. Changing passwords from a friend's computer or one at work would be the simplest way. I used to work IT for a school district and a high school FULL of teenagers weren't able to compromise our security.

--Change the password. He could still "brute force" it, but that could take a long time and CCP surely has measures to detect such attempts.
--Biomass all the characters so he doesn't have anything to play.
--Revoke his computer privileges if he plays Eve at all.

Remember: You're the parent. Do him a favor and DO NOT make excuses for his behavior. The rest of the world won't.

If someone ever tells me they will come from game to game, I say let them try. If I was worried, though, I would use a different username (Well, ingame name) and they would never find me unless I said,"Wait, I remember you, you were planning on making my gaming experience a living hell, so here I am." Also, the games in which you can repeatedly mess with people and hound them other than EVE are few and far between, so that part is kinda a non-issue.

Also, RL and "in another game" are separate in most of our minds. In other words, it may have been a "non-EVE" threat, but it was not a "RL" threat.

Personally, I would have rather had this angry guy be angry at Paul Clavet or any other proper "greifer". Hell, even I, along with what may very well be a majority of the players in the game, would enjoy the attention this other player is sending your son's way. I would certainly engage in some light smacktalk and throw out a few "internet spaceships is srs bsns" comments, but the time when that would have worked is past for you.
