THIS IS NOT A PROPER DIET FOR A HIPPO

Doesn't change the fact that you're an rear end in a top hat for doing it. Some people just want to fly their internet spaceships and have their own version of fun instead of being pointlessly destructive.

EVE isn't all about PvP. That's why missions, anomalies, belt rats, mining, manufacturing etc. exist.

whats the limit on being an rear end in a top hat in eve? do in-game reenactments of autobahn accidents apply?

You can be an rear end in a top hat all you want in game, but god help you if they think you might be harassing players out of game. Players have gotten banned because CCP believed that they had an opportunity to do wrong to other players, not an actual case of wrongdoing.

Just don't be an idiot and you should be fine, unless you're unlucky (like for example, being in the wrong in game channel at the wrong time.)

If you are being an rear end in a top hat to the world in general, quite high. You can't be racist or link porn in general channels, but you can say positive things about hitler or make mocking references to news tragedies. You can have an offensive name as long as you can come up with a plausible reason it's not bad.

If you are being an rear end in a top hat to one person in particular, there are stricter and somewhat nebulous limits. You can't say anything about the weight of a certain well-known eve player. You can't do targeted suicide-ganks to a single player with the intent of driving them out of the game or making them kill themselves. You can't tell someone to kill themselves. You can't drag someone into an out-of-game TS server and verbally abuse them until they cry as the price for giving back the stuff you scammed from them.


I like to put it like this: if you do something to piss off a player you're probably ok. If you do something to piss off CCP, especially vis-a-vis causing them to get negative press attention, you're history.

Also, it's utterly unpredictable. For ex: Eve has a slightly dirty reputation for having a sturdy population of neo-Nazis. You can put loving 1488 in your player name, and CCP won't blink an eye (and might even give you a warning for harassing the guy in local over his white supremacist references)...

... right up until a self-avowed neo-Nazi runs for CSM, and generates a bunch of negative press for doing so, at which point CCP goes "we don't like racists" and frantically starts laundering their panties, forcing a rename for anyone with 1488 in their name.

Basically this game is terrible and the only reason to play it is to get other people to quit by blowing up their expensive ships. It's all I do.

pretty much it comes down to are you being offensive in general or aiming it at one person.

You can name your ship 1488 but you can't message someone that was persecuted by the Germans (or ironically an actual German) and say 1488. Also if you scam someone, don't make it super personal. CCP has banned players for out of game harassment so I don't ever get scam marks on comms anymore, that way there is a chat log of everything I've said to them.

Obviously you couldn't find a plausible enough reason. When snigg has gotten away with it for years now, you should be able to figure something out!

It's not really about reasons, it's more that endlessly ganking the same guy is considered harassment if you're obviously following them around and they're trying to avoid you.

Like back when we did the ice interdictions there were some miners who tried to petition for harassment because we were blowing them up over and over, and the gms were just like "move to another system". Same when CODE had just started and they were claiming single systems. But if you did something like kill a guy a couple times then follow him to a different region because the tears were so good, it could count. (Anyways this stuff will just get you a warning, unless you say it while drunk on jagermeister during the fanfest alliance panel.)

We should actually make a confirmed freighter kill a requirement for getting on that list. It would be an important safety lesson for the pilots and it would encourage FCON pilots to come out of their shells.

Actually they didn't care that he ran and they let him run the previous year despite being fully aware of his views.
They only put a stop to it because a core few posters (basically the GSF Eve-O few) whipped up as much noise as possible until CCP took a soul searching few days to decide it wasn't kosher. Up till that point, they were still probating people in the thread and silencing people pointing it out, even going as far as to sanitise his post history of his racial purity rants without probating Fon himself.

Then there was one guy who was so literally grrGONS that he was supporting the neo-Nazi views on principle just because we were arguing against them.

I did exactly that*, the guy petitioned. Literally nothing came of it. Either some CCP staff give no fucks or their support system is utterly swamped.



*in my defense, the guy was a known dickhole in my corp who routinely made trouble for new players and I was beyond tired of his bullshit. He mentioned needing sleeping pills and I told him to take a fistful.

I'm not sure our definitions of dickhole are the same. There was a guy in alliance with me years ago who convinced a femme player that she could travel across the country and move in with him. She was 19 or some poo poo, he was older like me and ex-navy. General discharge, I found out through other people. It was common knowledge that she was going against her parents' wishes and forgoing college. I tracked down her parents (dad was a cop). Then I did the same thing as the first guy, and coaxed her into agreeing to move out and live it up with me. I bought her a plane ticket to an airport somewhat near her parents' home. They picked her up but their second chance didn't last. Her mother said the girl left to live with the guy again, and they didn't know where she was.

No one in alliance figured out why her parents knew she would be at the airport. Her dad and I agreed we should say the FBI grilled me about why I was involved with a missing person. After a few months the guy called me a piece of poo poo or whatever over the whole thing, and I laid it out for him. It's been three years, no idea how she's doing.

So when you say dickhole and telling the person to kill himself, is it someone like that?
