I responded to your post in a civil manner, but I see I wasted my time.

This is what happens when 13 year old WoW players try Eve. You should always ask your parents before going online.

This applies to POS modules as well - and its vitally important CCP act on this before POSes spread to nearly EVERY system in EVE.

I get tired D-scanning systems and finding POS mods named 'Dead N***** Storage' for instance. (Yes, Pulp Fiction reference, but highly inappropriate in any game for 12 year-olds.)

While I suppose it could be dealt with via the petition system, I don't think CCP will take action because they are uninterested in removing racists and/or sexual deviants from the EVE Community. They pay subscriptions after all, and aren't doing something dangerous and subversive like doubling your ISK and encouraging a singalong on Teamspeak.

No. The cleanest and fairest method is to completely remove the ability to rename structures and ships in the first place. I hope to see this in the next large expansion.





Eve is not a game for 12 year olds...

If it offends you speak to a GM via the petition system, I like being able to name my ships, and whilst I do not and will never tolerate racism if you go down this route successive changes will result in hello kitty in space as sooner or later everyone will have complained about everything forcing game design changes resulting in a sanitised mmo lacking character and flavour.


While I sympathize with your position, its already been shown that a significant portion of the EVE Community is not capable of responsibly handling this degree of customization. Ship name customization should not be allowed to remain - if it is being abused as an outlet for ruining others' game experience. Especially for blacks and other disadvantaged minorities.

I suppose you WANT CCP's annual Fanfest event to continue to look like an Aryan Nations reunion year in and year out.
I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that.

Look, Its not like I'm not calling for a witch hunt, just for CCP to remove tools which lend themselves to this kind of corrosive behavior. Its a lot easier and neater than expecting GMs to handle it on an endless case by case basis.

This isn't Burger King. Its not 'have it your way'. Customization should only be exist in a form that insures that abuse is absolutely impossible.


I take extreme offense to this. Your callous disregard for my Oneida heritage should not be tolerated. Your obvious racism, as evidenced by your blatant ignorance of my attendance at fanfest, and your insinuating that being Native American counts for nothing is disgusting. You should be ashamed of yourself and should be banned for your implicit views that Native Americans are so low as to be invisible. I have found nothing but acceptance here in EvE until you. Racists like you don't deserve to play EvE. Now get back in your corner.

In America we have a large part of the population that is just like this. They believe people can't be trusted with freedoms and the government needs to make more laws to control the population. They're a mix of different races and religions... We call them "Liberals" P

This thread is amusing. If anyone sees something truly heinous and offensive, report them via the petition system and fly on your merry way. On the matter of how old players should be for this game is open to interpretation. Just like in real life; a persons physical age has little to do with their maturity once they become a teenager. I have talked to some alliance leaders who do the job very well and then you find out they are not legally allowed to drink. Then there is the never ending supply of man babies that seem to always be playing.

In the end filing a petition under the correct subject is the best course of action. Smile

tl;dr version - OP finds bad ship/POS names

Solution - if violation of EULA/TOS then file petition

CCP does respond and does take action.

Works for bad player names too.....all those "Caldari Citizen123654554" we're once some terrible and offensive name.

So, because a few people can't play nice, you want a needed tool to be removed from the ENTIRE playerbase, because you were offended?

Please feel free to unsubscribe and biomass your toons before you do so.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

It's obvious the OP is trolling. Just look at his corp name acronym and corp ticker.

Or just look at all his past posts that were locked? I wonder how many times can you troll post before they perma lock your forum posting abilities?
