Oh god, that's the worst reasoning lie ever.
Let's test with a site that is one of the first in a search for eve hacks: http://publicdemands.co.uk

See?


Thanks for pointing that out buddy I'll have it added forthwith.

:edit: The reason it's not is likely that most people know better than to try to link it. Something that doesn't appear to be the case with the site in question.


If this site was new to you, then you're bad at your job.

Because people don't normally go to k.com with "I'm going to find amazing new ways to violate the EVE EULA!!!" in mind.

I'm genuinely not trolling when I ask this, but how broad is CCP's definition of 'promoting EULA violation'...?

You see, I couldn't care less about whether or not k.com is censored here - I visit once in a while to get the inside scoop on certain things, but considering another site I visit (mostly for laughs) -- Eve News 24 doesn't appear to be censored, at all, but in articles like 'Rise of the Machines', tells EVE players, in effect - here's how to bot, here's the best software to use, and here's how not to get caught... CCP Sreegs, read this, and please tell me if it constitutes 'promotion'

Censorship of any kind is the death of free speech.

I eagerly await the censorship of EN24 for promoting EULA violations as well.

The reason Kugutsu men is verboten is because [censored] [censored] the [censored] and [censored].

CCP mostly sucks at their job, but Veritas is a pretty cool dude.

There's no "free speech" on a privately operated forum. The argument is that censoring the name of a popular third-party EVE site is petty and it hardly has anything to do with "EULA violations."

I understand the argument, but I don't understand why anything is censored on here. What one finds offensive, others find perfectly acceptable.

If individuals are linking malicious sites, they should be dealt with, but besides that, I don't understand by we should ever see ***************'s all over the place. I KNOW what they meant, and, if anything, it draws focus to the fact that it was "profane" instead of my eyes rolling right over an otherwise harmless word.

Instead of pushing for one specific thing to be uncensored, there should be a push for complete un-censorship, or, at the very least, an option on our end to disable it.
