With the new rules on input broadcasting in place, I wanted to clarify what is and isn't acceptable use of the broadcasting feature. In the process of doing so I seem to have run into a world of contradictions with the EVE staff I've corresponded with.

First let's look at CCP Falcon's official post from the top of this forum
Falcon wrote:
"Examples of allowed Input Broadcasting and Input Multiplexing are actions taken that do not have an impact on the EVE universe and are carried out for convenience"

"If you are uncertain about your Input Broadcasting and Input Multiplexing use-case, please get in contact with us, as we would prefer to work with members of the community to come to an amicable resolution. We will also follow up this statement with further clarifications if needed, based on questions and concerns from the community."

Falcon clearly states there are allowed forms of input broadcasting and that CCP prefers we contact them for clarification on the matter.

To clarify what is and is not allowed, I sent in a petition with a list of commands in question. That list is as follows

- Opening cargohold
- Opening orehold
- Opening/closing "people/places" window
- Creating a bookmark
- Deleting a bookmark from "people/places" window
- Activating survey scanners
- Managing inventory in station (ex clicking "ship hangar")
- Managing fittings in station (ex fitting module from hangar)
- Clicking "join fleet" when invited

I will now paraphrase the responses I received and will also not include the GM names. This is in order to respect the rules on communications of GM correspondence.


*Snip* Please refrain from posting GM correspondence. ISD Ezwal.

And you had to create one more ISBoxer thread?

Bring your tears over to the official thread at the top.

Oh and please bend the rules as much as you can, it will work out fine for you.
