Jita Park Speakers Corner

The transparency/consistency issue does remain. CCP's most recent annual stockholder briefing book includes the following text about one of their cornerstone principles, transparency:

We earn trust through honesty and openness. We are open-minded and respectful of our customers and co-workers. We confront problems directly and discuss issues in a straightforward manner.

Like many corporate mission statements, these are words that often have a lot more to do with CCP's actions in an ideal world as opposed to the real one. As players remind CCP again and again, actions speak louder than words.

Every general norm like the ToS rules has to be interpreted on a case by case basis.

In real life after a few hundred years most democratic constitutional states got these interpretation procedures written down.

So the general public knows what to expect, and these interpretation procedures are not like written law (like the ToS in eve).

These interpretation procedures are called Custom in law, which are the established pattern of behavior that can be objectively
verified within a particular social setting (in our case: within the New Eden Universe)

As a small part of the eve general public I want to know the GM's interpretation procedures,

to further my consumer rights towards CCP games.

Since a CCP banning is a high decree act, we as their customers should have high decree of transparency.

PS: at the minimum give the CSM these GM interpretation procedures concerning the ToS since they have signed the NDA

Ripard Teg, Vice-Chairman CSM8, nailed it right on the head in his blog post
We as customers should know what to expect from CCP when it concerns high decree acts.

To quote Ripard Teg:



With the recent ToS / Eula issue about interpersonating others, the issue about TRANSPARANCY still stands:

Hope Ripard Teg will get some answers even if it is covered by NDA, and won't be shared.
Please do keep us up-to-date IF or WHEN you get any answers from CCP.

PS: So far the GM staff have been profession, timely, often helpful to me
This post is about transparency rules not against the GM staff.

CCP, in collaboration with the CSM, have agreed and would like to state in the strongest possible terms and in accordance with our existing Terms of Service and End User License Agreement, that real life harassment is morally reprehensible, and verifiable examples of such behavior will be met with disciplinary action against game accounts in accordance with our Terms of Service.
