Wrangler on ISD Ethics

[k]

"Without being able to authenticate it, it's just some guy talking in an e-mail," Dirty Secrets Emporium intelligence official said.

This just in from Wrangler from an alleged ISD source:

Hi guys and gals,

As you know, since you moderated it, there was the incident involving t20 that recently erupted on the forums. Due to this the policies on what is ethical behavior has been strengthened a lot at CCP and this includes ISD.

Therefore, moderators are no longer allowed to moderate any situation involving their own alliance or coporation, or the friends of their alliance of corporation, of the friends of their alliance or corporation. Further, if you encounter a situation where you believe moderating may be a breach of ethics, you are not allowed to moderate in that situation. Should you encounter any of these situations, please ask another moderator to take over and moderate it.

A breach of this policy may result in removal from the volunteer program and a temporary or permanent ban of your player account(s).

This is in no way a criticism of your hard work recently, or us not trusting you, this is purely to protect you.

Best regards,
Wrangler

Edit: As I said when I posted this, the source wasn't authenticated. Turns out it was a BoD or a CCP faggot trying to discredit us.

Hehe, to think people are this desperate for "evidence" to throw at CCP that they'll take anything without verifying the source. You fools give me a laugh.

I composed this :P

Welp, guess we'll really get to see if Sunshine and Ytterium are in LV, now.

i hope its true, maybe i will be able to keep a signature for more then 30 minutes.

edit - and alex this is forum mods not GMs, sunshine and ytterbium do not moderate forums AFAIK

edit edit- someone please leak this on eve-o, if it gets deleted its real, if it remains its fake =)

ISD != GMs

[Bushido Zin]

this is a step in the right direction

[Alex Clomsaver]

ISD != GMs

Awww.

edit: But wouldn't it then be easy to just put together a list of everyone's actions and see which alliances they are avoiding?

GMs are paid and employed through a contractor, ISD are volunteers

[Hubris [banned]]

about time, even the man wrangler himself the asshat is very guilty of bring his own personal feelings way to far into moderation and or allowing it to sway his decisions.

I hate wrangler by the way, in case you missed it ehehheheehehhe.

[Valekrin]

They could have done this months ago. Too little too late for me really, im playing something else and have shut down 2 of my 3 accounts.

[Pete Fastfeet]

is this an internal CCP mail ? ifso LOL !

[ButterDog]

step in the right direction, but needs verification, and also needs to be extended to GMs, or at very least in large petitions the ability to be judged by a neutral person. EG the southern coalitions tactics in JV1V last week against LV, LV petitioned etc. Personally i think the decision was right about not closing surrounding nodes, however it should have been guarenteed to be dealt by a NON associated GM

This is a fake made by some BoD zealot who tried to discredit us.
