EVE General Discussion

If you used the same method you just did then tried to justify it, yeah I would be.

A journalist is held to a high standard of ethics and accountability.
A paparazzi is not.

And intentional violations of confidence are among the worst breaks from that ethical code that do not result in physical harm (disclosing names, locations, or identifying information that could result in violent retaliation against that person)


But since you seem to think that this is on a different subject altogether, exactly what do you think the issue is?
That someone imitated you? Boo-hoo, this is not the place for it. Take it to a GM, or the C&P section, where they deal with stuff like that. But you brought your accusations to GD, then proceeded to try and play the innocent as to your own role.

I'm confident that the GM's will deal with any issues that arise from the alleged impersonation. All I see here though is a chance to chew someone out for throwing stones in a glass house.

I'm sure the GMs will do their job well enough. But this thread isn't for them. It's for the every day individual discussing the ethical character of CSM candidates in general.

You can continue to white knight the guy all you want, but that's not what the thread is about.

Ethical character? Are you serious? Firstly this is Eve, pretty much anything goes as long as it doesn't break the EULA or ToS, which as far as I can see hasn't happened, implicating someone is not the same as impersonation. Secondly the CSM are basically politicians, neither knows the meaning of ethics

What is it about then? All I see is some airing of dirty laundry in public and a bucketful of imagined butthut.

I for one think Jayne can manage to sabotage his own campaign with ineptitude without help.

That 8 page article on the TMC pretending to be an authority on carriers and everything wrong with their fleet using in nullsec, while at the same time being ignorant of basic carrier mechanics like refitting drones into drone bays and an admitted lack of experience with capitals basically punched him off my list for any potential vote.

But issues like EULA violations are really not something to be judged by the masses. Especially not when the source is someone with a grudge and potentially dodgy pastebin conversations.

What are your thoughts?

I dont particularly care about CSM or that whole shabang. its just fluff.

Having said that, I have political experience in real life, I myself ran for a nomination to run in provincial parliament, and i can tell you that, if your goal was to smear the guy, its weak stuff. Not particularly attention-grabbing. Not going to sway the election one way or another.

Better bet is to simply buy yourself a spot rather then go about it by smearing others obliquely. Organize an event before the vote, dramiels giveaway for example, where you would warp in and jettison dramiels from a hauler every 10 minutes as long as your votes kept going up.... Publicize it with alts on forums, in chat channels, in every empire region and local chat channel, etc.,, and win.

I dont even know if youre running tho.

In case you want just answer to your question - CSM or not, EULA violations should be investigated.

Hate to break the news to all the "you shouldn't post private convo's" but this is has been going on for years, since not long after EVE came out.

Plenty of cases where even TS of private conversations have been posted on the forums and everyone other than the victim has had a good laugh about it. This despite in most western countries, releasing audio recordings of a private conversation is a serious offence punishable by imprisonment.

The difference here? Well its a favored CSM member rather than some guy that got scammed.

If you look for the logs you'll find them. The OP tells you how to do it. I'll PM you guys the pastebin link directly though.

In any case this thread isn't about Jayne specifically but the principle of the matter. We've seen how it is when people in position get different rules applied to them. Regardless how people feel about the rules the principle remains.
