Becsuse I dont like hs miners thinking they are safe. I dont want to buy tags to boost sec status so I simply make an alpha, DO NOT refer for 1 million sp, kill an pod some guys, delete and go again.
What are you basing this opinion of yours on?
Being able to just generate sp.
CCP does it all the time!
not judging , i just find amusing
like ⌠you have a solo loki kill , you are not the typical garbage noob with strange goals
im puzzled
cant understand even after you explained
well⌠keep the good work 
Whether you use the buddy invite or not has no bearing on whether itâs an exploit or not. The goal and the actions you take to achieve it define it as an exploit.
In this case, it likely will be considered an exploit, if you get caught. You probably wonât be banned, but will definitely be warned. While CCPâs enforcement of this policy might be weak right now, the risk to you is still there. Youâre supposed to deal with the consequences of your actions.
Now, if you were to do this, but would keep each character after the ganks to use in some different manner, then youâd be in the clear. But the fact that youâre deleting and remaking is whatâs against the rules.
Alright then from now on Iâll stop deleting untill i get a final answer
Itâs one of many things that are unenforceable since EVE went F2P. Simply make 100 alpha accounts and keep on gankingâŚ

Can easily be enforced, unless you go the full VM + proxy route.
Deleting might be an exploit. Nothing else is.

Again, itâs completely unenforceable. All you have to do is create 100 alpha accounts. Once you use one account up by ganking, simply never log in to that account again and fire up the next Alpha account and keep on ganking. No characters are being deleted, so no rule is being broken. And thereâs no rule for how many Alpha accounts you can have. CCP opened Pandoraâs Box once EVE went F2PâŚ

Deleting and abandoning is the same exact effect in practice. I sincerely doubt that CCP would interpret the two scenarios any differently.
The only way you can guarantee getting away with this is VM, proxy, and avoiding any sort of contact with your primary accounts, which means funding them through individual, off-site PLEX purchases, unless you want to manually grind out the ISK on each character for the skills and gank ships.
I have heard both sides of the argument. I rule in favor of QuakeGod.

So, CCP is going to ban you for abandoning an account now, are they? Just keep on moving those goal posts. CCP has like 17 employees. Do you actually think they are going to sit around checking on hundreds of thousands of accounts and be like âhey, look at this guy, he has a character that is -5.0 sec status and he hasnât logged in for 2 months. I think we better ban himâŚâ

Arguing on a technicality doesnât go far in law, and especially not here, when the judge, jury, and executioner makes and enforces its own rules.
Also, CCP has more than 17 employees.

Can confirm, I know of a couple of people that recycled negative sec status hisec characters, this was quickly followed by a chat with a GM as to the reason why.
Recycling a character with negative sec status to free up a character slot for a character bazaar purchase is fine.
However, recycling a negative sec status character to create another with the aim of clocking up negative sec status again and thus avoiding the consequences of your actions, that will get you banned.

That will indeed get you banned on an Omega account. However, like I was saying, with Alpha accounts there is nothing they can do about it.

I once had an account issue which needed some help, halfway it all the GM stopped replying then it took 2 days and suddenly I get a response from different (lead) GM demanding an explanation as to why I had such an ungodly amount of accounts linked to my email address.
Took me a bit of effort to convince him they werenât used for EULA breaking stuff. I also felt it best to not mention I used more than just that single address.
So apparently they DO look out for people mass creating and using accounts. This was well before f2p though.

Doesnât matter if itâs alpha or omega, recycling alts was supposed to be bannable if avoiding consequences like disposable gankers. Real question is did they ever enforce it.
So at the end of the day we are waiting for a response from CCP to say, âeven though we went F2P, we still will ban accounts that recycle alts, regardless if they took advantage of the refer a friend program.â
My situation for those who need reminding is: Alpha account, gank character, no refer a friend program. My question is: can I delete that toon, and remake it from scratch to avoid the penalty of low sec status?
