Harassment you say?

So apparently, following the rules perfectly is a bannable offence now.

And yes, I'm talking about the banning of erotica 1.
But bear with me, because I'm very curious on the matter.


So if someone asks a person to give away all their isk, assets, and sing a song, it is now considered harassment?
Since when complying to someones' requests is harassment?

This is like asking someone in real life to give you a free blow job, and the person happily complied, but after that, they can now sue you for ****?


They complied, they had free will to just tell him to screw himself, but they didn't.
And it still can be considered as harassment?

Harassment

This is humiliating, intimidating or abusive behaviour which is often difficult to detect leaving no evidence other than victim reports or complaints. This characteristically lowers a person’s self-esteem or causes them torment. This can take the form of verbal comments, engineered episodes of intimidation, aggressive actions or repeated gestures. Falling into this category is workplace harassment by individuals or groups mobbing.
Community-based Harassment — stalking by a group against an individual using repeated distractions that the individual is sensitized to. Media reports of large numbers of coordinated groups stalking individual stalking victims, including a press interview given by an active duty police lieutenant, have described this community-based harassment as gang stalking.

The above is harassment, but what ero did was not harassment. You know why? Because the clients complied.

So I'll ask again, how can it be harassment if the clients happily complied?


This is like signing up for a tournament, the prize is, for example, a statue of dolan.
You see the rules, the challenges, and you still sign up.
But the terms of agreement are to hand away all your, for example, gooby dolls, and if you win the tournament, you will get them back and earn the dolan statue.

But if you lose, the people that made the tournament can keep the dolls.
Even after knowing the risks, you will accept.

So how can it be harassment or a scam if you knew the rules and had free will to just not sign up?

Its the new millennium dude. Now days its harassment if the guy feels bad later. No means no, and yes mostly means no too.

So it should be.
Simpletons and people pretending not to understand WHY some things are unacceptable are why we have rules and rule enforcers.
Suddenly....lock.

The fact you have to ask says it all. Clearly you aren't earning these.
You need to clarify m/m / | m/f here btw. Queens are mean.

Which only happens when you are obedient, well behaved and grovel a bit.

So, just carry on being obedient, well behaved and grovel. Then pay the divorce settlement. Cha-ching.

I for one, am looking forward to an Ezwal scrubbing. It's filthy in here.

Its funny when people think that harrassing people on teamspeak and stringing them on for hours is part of the EVE culture.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

Why on earth would it be illegal to request your mark to sing a song?

Or is it ISD just getting out of having to do an humiliating act to avoid getting podded? (again).

Actually... if you heard my singing, i suppose that could be considered abuse.. I sound aweful.

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

If I hit a jaywalker whilst driving down the highway it's not my fault because they aren't supposed to be there anyway, right? Buuuut what if I was driving too fast, wasn't paying attention, on my phone, getting road head, and it was raining out? At what point can I still be not liable for damages caused but still scum of the earth and totally guilty in the court of public opinion?

Now we're not talking about something that is trialable by my peers, but a signed (via checkbox) agreement I have with someone providing a service?

And don't talk like this was a tournament that is some sanctioned event. No one charges out in the middle of the Olympics and says "oh **** sorry guys, I meant you have to run TWO more laps, that one wasn't the final lap". Would that ever happen? Would the runners say wtf? Would the Olympic Committee counter with "well you DID sign up for a race, and you ARE racing, so ..... just keep running".

You're right, though, yeah. Totally their fault for signing up in the first place.

I really do not care about some creepy dude getting banned. I learned in my first week in eve to not talk in local to anyone in Jita, Amarr, Dodi, Rens, or that little crap hole called HEk.

While I had no choice but to hear about this issue, It has no affect on me. I'm gonna win Eve at my pace and laugh at stuff like this.

I mean, as a new player with no knowledge of Erotica, none of it affects me. I keep going about my business.

I'm not impressed, I'm not upset, I'm not shocked, I'm not... Karma is a *****...
