Please like if you feel that CCP should make a ‘criminal record’ entry into char profiles for returning banned players.
It seems fellow players would benefit from seeing such warnings so that they may protect their corps from such convicts who may apply.
It may also help report botting if known previous offenders are highlighted alongside other suspect bots. Let’'s face it this is an amnesty on botting with players like GigX and your lovely in Corp cheap isk rmt dude remaining banned.
CCP never gave a hoot about botting just rmt. They could rob a billion $’'s from the players but 1 cent from CCP was ban worthy without redemption.
Anyway more transparency in game moderation please. Drain the swamp!

CCP (and I imagine anyone not semantically nitpicking over the use of a “&”) considers botting for gain and RMT part of the same category of offense.
So you want to treat them differently to the rest of the players. If they are no longer banned then they have served their time. So they shouldn’t be flagged so they can be ostracised.
Help report botting? Unlikely people would just assume they’re botting even if they’re not. It’s up to CCP who they wish to ban or not, I’m sure they know what they’re doing.
It’s stuff like this why no one takes you seriously.
Yeah, some guy gets a 7-day time-out for saying he ■■■■■■ your mother, and now he’s a permanent criminal? What’s next? Making people who’ve ever expressed leaning conservative pay higher NPC station trading taxes?
I don’t read it this way. Botting is still one of the big no-nos, and I don’t see anybody getting let back in under this policy if they engaged in it. RMT and botting go hand in hand anyway, because the vast majority of botters are doing it to fund RMT.
That’s not what it says.
Another lie. I did not advocate for the clemency policy directly, although I have in the past argued that CCP needs an ombudsman role to review permabans and make sure they fit the crime and are fair. CCP decided to roll this policy out, and I supported it after the fact, because I do believe that people should be given second chances when they make mistakes, own those mistakes and commit to living by the rules going forward.
There is zero reason to stigmatize these players or otherwise identify them, like they’re some kind of second class citizens because they made a mistake and were granted clemency.
Nowhere did I say that, lol.
No and I don’t. Botting is generally tied with RMT and I don’t think folks who have gone through the trouble of doing those kinds of things are likely deserving of clemency.
Now, when it comes to RMT, I think it’s reasonable to let somebody back in who has BOUGHT isk from an RMTer, often because they do it not knowing that it’s not okay. But I don’t support letting anybody back in who was a seller.
You want to brand redeemed players so we can ostracize them and treat them differently? You want to enable players to constantly threaten to report them for the most minor of infractions or outright frame them for infractions they did not commit to CCP such that CCP will be inclined to believe these infractions did occur when they did not? Clemency does not mean second class citizenship.
