Our main problem with this is that it makes illegal a large number of activities that were previously legal. And those activities are part of the cultural makeup that Eve has and is the main reason a lot of people play the game in the first place. |

Most of you whine way to much,
For 1. It's THERE GAME, they can do whatever they want whenever they want.
2. They CAN ban you for cussing, but since I have been around since 2005 and cuss more in local chats than a sailor, they use
GM Discreation, Meaning if you site and try and say your ODIN there gonna laugh at that report, but if you say your GM or DEV so and so, it's ban hammer time.
This is to cut down on scammers, and I'm for it. It all comes down to common sense, which most of you don't seem to have because your over thinking this.

So what's the difference? Every online game ever has a "we can terminate your account for whatever reason we feel like" clause, but it usually isn't used except for exceptional and grave circumstances (which would not have been foreseen by the authors of the ToS). I bet they use it on a case-by-case basis... A police officer can arrest and hold anyone on a case by case basis. That does not mean the posted speed limit is "10 kilometers per hour, but feel free to go faster because we don't really enforce it that way, unless we do, on a case by case basis to be determined by personal opinion of whichever police officer happens to witness it. No really you can go ahead keep driving at a safe, faster speed. We can't tell you what a safe speed is, but you can trust us to only stop those who go at high, unsafe speeds"
Your argument doesn't track with me...
In this situation the GMs are the police officers and the "speed limit" is clearly marked as "don't impersonate anyone." If you want to go 5kph over the limit you're probably ok but you knew where the limit was. You might get a ticket, or a warning. (or in this case a warning from a GM or having your scammed goods removed.) If you go 100kph over the limit ... you're probably going to jail if you get caught. (or in this case you get banned.)
I don't see where anyone from CCP has suggested that any violation of the "letter of the law" results in instant ban-hammer...? "....as if 10,058 Goon voices cried out and were suddenly silenced." |

As it stands right now the current ToS wording is vague and open to subjective interpretation on what a "group of players" is, with a negative effect on the actions that make eve unique, like scamming, Awox, spying and generally no pants tom foolery.
All of the GM and CSM clarifications have told me is how the ToS will be applied.
The unspoken bit is: this is how we plan to apply them today.
Tomorrow, a new GM (let us call him "GM WoW") is brought in to reorganise the GM team after they curled up into a ball trying to deal with a billion anti goon petitions. GM WoW decides the solution is to properly apply the wording of the new ToS and he unpacks the banhammer and goes beserk based on the many different ways this new rule can be applied, as has been identified in this threadnaught.
The solution to prevent this absolute clusterfuck is simple: Fix the wording of the ToS, so that true offenses that are wrong are banned and common garden scams and awoxing etc can continue on.
Also, the ToS should drive the application of policy, not policy should be written to bolster the ToS, if you're doing it this way, you're doing it wrong.

Ok .. so they used it once.
What about the catch-all clause? Have they ever used that once? Have that used that one twice? Which is the bigger threat? "....as if 10,058 Goon voices cried out and were suddenly silenced." |

The thing is we are left in the dark about the process because a series of restrictions that do not allow us to even hear about cases like that one, nor what the CSM is actually doing to further the player's interest in this case. So, even worse than that, is the fact that all we can do is complaint until somebody tells us "here is the solution" because "we are working on it" is not good enough as it can easily result in "we did nothing". |

I think if you read my post carefully you will realize it wasn't directed at any one player in particular. But I think that anyone who's been in-system with a fleet that is "****-ing up local" won't have trouble imagining that there's probably a fair few people in this thread who have violated no. 2 at the very least.

It's against Federal Law to smoke Marijuan-a yet they do it in WA and CO, but the federal law is rarley enforced, but you push your luck then the local pd can charge you with a federal charge instead of a state charge to make it stick.
This rule is likely to be rarley enforced unless someone pushes there luck.

Actually I do agree with you. Where I differ with others in this thread is that I don't think that the impersonation clauses are necessarily going to be the thing in the TOS that is going to be strictly enforced and punished with instant perma-bans.
