Word of warning to those playing EvE or those contemplating playing EvE:

 

Don't petition about ISK Spam.  Disregard the fact that it has it's own section in the Petition window (under Rules and Policies).

 

Just - don't do it.  You WILL get banned for a "EULA violation.

 

How do I know?  Did it last night (08/12/08) and got a ban for a EULA violation.  Seriously.  No reason given.  Just poof! - 2 years worht of playing out the window.  And, with the provisions in the EvE TOS, there's really no recourse.  Contact their support department, and wait the average of 4 MONTHS it takes for them to respond, or just give it up and go elsewhere.  Not exactly good customer support, by US standards - guess the standards are different over where CCP operates.

Again - don't bother the GMs or you chance losing everything you put into EvE.

Without proof of what you are saying that's all I can believe this is.

I don't believe this at all.

Well, what proof can I provide for you then?

The account is currently banned, so I can't get in and show you the petition in question.  Nor can I link it from the EvE Online Web site, for the same reason.

If there's a record of the petition locally on my system, please feel free to point out where it is, and I'll happily post it up here.

Only think I can post is a copy of the Email I sent to CCP, requesting a review of the actions - to which I have a automated reply so far that says that CCP has received it.  The 4 months thing is from when I petitioned about the loss of a destroyer due to it getting hung up in a roid belt while ratting - took 'em 4 months to replace it.

So, given the limitations of what I CAN provide, what proof do you want?

Doesn't matter if you believe it or not, that's what happened.  The ban happened just as I got the in-game message that my petition had been replied to.  At the time, I was warping as part of the mission "Human Cattle (2 of 5)".

Just like I asked the earlier poster, what proof would you require?  Will provide what I can, short of account details.

"In EVE, no one gives a damn about a fair fight." - chafin

On the off chance you are telling the truth, if that's what happened it sucks and I agree its not right.  (for simply reporting ISK spammers)

In my own case..soon as I see some Isk spam, I toss em on the ignore list...and my list has hundreds of names now.

Give me a break what a load of nonsense.  Petitioning system works fine.

My guess on the scenario:

OP sees ISK spam

OP visits ISK spammers website

OP enter his credit card info for teh ISKs

ISK spammer delivers but wrong amount

OP petitions ISK spammer cause he's ticked

OP gets teh ban hammer

CCP wins

 

ORRR....  he's just trolling.  Either way I also don't buy the OP's story as the FULL story so i'll happily make up my own account of the events.

Of all the petitions I have filed I have never been banned.
