I created a petition 33 days ago, asking CCP to clarify exactly what an ISD moderator can see about characters who post on these forums. This is an important issue, as ISD moderators are volunteers who are also active participants in the EVE universe. I posed two question in the petition:

1) Can ISD members see the IP of characters who post, and thus form a connection between two or more players?
2) Can ISD members see the account of characters, and thus form a connection between two or more players?

Sadly, CCP is yet to answer this petition for that entire 33 day duration. While it is possible they are slow to respond, I have had 6 petitions across different characters answered within two weeks since I created this above petition. That includes two petitions already answered on the same character I created the above petition with.

Without a clear answer from CCP on this, I am now doing the next best thing: Taking to the community to find out exactly what an ISD can and cannot see about posters. Perhaps an ISD himself can drop in and give us the answer? That would be great.

If you're wondering why this matters, as stated ISD members have non-ISD characters that are active in the EVE universe. If they indeed can see our IP or accounts, they can gather very important intel about players, especially in regards to spies, espionage, cyno alts, and the like.

Cheers and thanks for reading.

It would be pretty embarrassing for all those that use alts to boost their likes, among other things.

Perhaps the bigger question here would be why you need to open 6+ tickets in a 2-week time period?

If you are really so concerned and believe there is some foul play at hand, did you try: internalaffairs@ccpgames.com

Sometimes CCP just doesn't like to answer things. They'll ignore your ticket for a while then give you a non-answer and arbitrarily close it.

I recommend posting the question from all of your alts on all accounts.
That way only you will for sure know the answer for your self.

I was talking to CCP YoureSoVain the other day during VIP mode when we were adjusting some Goon market orders, and he told me directly that not only can ISD see your IP, they also know where your grandmother lives, and steal cookies from her pantry.

For everyone who has never been able to log on during VIP mode, I can confirm that not only does this happen, but the Devs also let us fly Jovian ships and spawn officer rats in highsec for us to shoot at.

We also get to WiS, and use your mining barges as public urinals.

Yeah, it's kind of sad that downtime is so short these days. I remember when you could spend up to an hour farming CONCORD spawns in a Jovian battleship while adjusting market orders.

OP you know what's even worse. CCP Falcon is currently playing EVE and IS CURRENTLY EMPLOYED BY CCP!!! ShockedShockedShockedShockedShockedShockedShockedShockedShockedShockedThat means we don't know if he has inside information about any changes to EVE![:oShockedShockedShockedShockedShockedShockedShocked I say you petition CCP to ban Falcon for insider information too!!! He also has access to all our IP so he knows all our alts!!ShockedShockedShockedShockedShockedShocked

Guys guys, get this....I heard that every time you open the EVE launcher, or log into the game, CCP gets your IP address! What right does CCP have, getting the equivalent of your Internet Street Address*, just for logging in? We need to protest this!!
