I really think CCP needs to make a new statement on this or it will just keep getting brought up, and used as a comparison for anything that happens. If it’s a new team and new policy then that team needs to assert themselves using that as an example. I’m not saying go back and punish anyone again.

In this “In Development Blog” GM Salmon said that the slide and everything up to the QA was perfectly fine. I can’t imagine CCP still agrees with this. CCP needs to make that known.
By not asserting themselves CCP is allowing toxic behavior to breed, as evidenced by reddit yesterday where the vast majority didn’t think Mittani did anything wrong.
