More common than the use of real-life slurs was the banning of people from the channel for providing legitimate good advice to avoid ganking. Suggesting to people that, if they want to haul and avoid being ganked themselves, they actively go out of their way to bring their rival haulers to the attention of known gankers, then slip through the danger systems while the gankers are GCC, was not tolerated despite being probably the best advice you could give.




Speaking of -- I nearly got banned for suggesting that "ganking the orca / bowhead dropping cats for a small gank force is (edit- possibly) a viable way to stop people from doing that" (see: this alod for details).

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I was done, but I need to make one clarification. Loyalanon and a few of his buddies keep claiming the gankingisbullying blog is mine. Why, I don't know. I guess they think it is funny.

The gankingisbullying blog is not my blog. I do, however, have an Eve blog, which is in my in-game bio if anyone cares.

Why does this crap keep getting posted? HTFU. If someone tries to gank you, win or loose, give em a high five for undocking and trying to have some fun and move on.

A week or two ago I even gave back all the guns and mods that dropped when a group failed to gank my alts miner in highsec.

Peeps are just trying to have fun any way they can. Stop blathering like a twelve year old that expects to get their way all the time with no effort and have some fun.

Any typos I make are because each hand is being controlled by a different Goon.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them. As always I let some edge cases stay.
Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!

As I have said many times before, some punching about in C&P is perfectly fine. Taking it into real life however, is definitely not.

The Rules:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

I am surprised you aren't seeing more toxicity from ag. I logged my alt into ag last night. Literally the first comment after I joined was a homophobic slur directed at James 315. Not one person in chat called him on it.


I'm sorry I wasn't online at the time. I always do when I see 'em.

(And, basically, for all I'm interested in stopping internet spaceships being blown up, the AG channel is horribly toxic.)

They will never admit it but CODE and there ilk just suicide gank as they enjoy trying to upset the person whose ship is being destroyed. Eve allows people to be themselves without no recriminations bar a few destroyed space pixels. They destroy a ship or bump (harass?) someone continually not to get the 10m isk liscense but to try and get a reaction from the player that they will enjoy. Don't agree with real life threats but if you upset someone you cannot expect everyone to react politely. (Which is what they are looking for)

What a marvellous pontification from your backside. Given how big the New Order is (and suicide ganking in general), I've no doubt there are a few who gank for the tears - it's statistically unlikely that every last one of us does it for the joy of blowing things up in a game about blowing things up. However, that's why most of us do it. Feel free to prove me wrong with verifiable facts.

You all look the same to me.
