How is this not locked? I understand ship names being allowed but player names? That clearly breaks a rule.

he added two videos on youtube while pirating MS Normandie ..also he said the biggest loot was from Kronan @9k peds
I personally never carry loot into space (when I'm not stupid and accept a summon without storage first). I've been shot down I think three times. For me, the idea of pirate danger in space is exciting. Knowing that at any time you could be in someone's crosshairs and flaming out makes the blood pump a bit more. I like the danger aspect of it. It makes the game more interesting. And the fact that the people pirating could lock you down somewhere if they had a mind to is, while mean, completely within their rights. It's a real cash economy, and about the closest mirror to real life I've seen in an MMO. The attitudes of the players reflect that, the way the OP is pissed about pirating, the way the pirates are apparantly paying "special attention" to him because of that. I think it's all incredibly cool.
It's nice to spend time in a place where people don't feel entitled to a good life simply because daddy forgot his condom one night. Here, you're on your own. People help you if they want to, if they think you deserve it.
I fucking love this game. Problems and all.

Being a pirate is within the rules of EU, hence this list is not different than a list of traders, hunters,list of all avatars wearing a cowboy hat... It would be against the rules of this forum if it was a list of scammers, but it is not. And so this thread won't be locked as long as people stay civil in their posts.
lol, I just went and checked to see if there had been a rule change I didn't know about. Didn't see one. Maybe you could point it out to us. Far as I can see it's an information thread to help people identify pirates? What's the problem?
I bet you're never looked at the rules. It's always funny when people who have never read the rules, lecture about the rules...LOL
Here, i'll give you a link to save you searching. https://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/content.php?114-planet-calypso-forum-rules
For reference, the following text is one I'm am using for PMs to explain to new users who unknowingly break the no-naming rule why it exists. I don't include every reason why the rule exists, just enough to show the basic motives behind the rule and why it is required:
The Rule not to allow the naming of alleged scammers on EF was brought about for a number of very good reasons (and thus is not likely to change) including:
(i) Its very easy for people to make false accusations against people they don't like.
(ii) Its very easy for evidence (for example, screenshots) in false accusations to be faked.
(iii) Consequently, its very hard for anyone at EF to find out whether an allegation is true or false.
(iv) Even if the allegation is true, there's very little anyone at EF can do about it.
(v) Users are instead encouraged to send the info to MindArk via a support case. They have logs that can be used to verify the truth of allegations. And they have the means to hand out punishment to those who were correctly accused.
(vi) There's only so many names people can remember. Once the list grows too long people will forget the names anyway.
(vii) Scammers will regularly get new accounts in any case. Consequently the list will, in majority, consist of a list of old avatars that scammers no longer use.
(viii) Adding a name to the list will alert a scammer he's been found out, thus possibly causing the scammer to get a new account.
(ix) It is better to alert people to scam practices and to show them how to be vigilant, how not to leave themselves vulnerable, rather than to tell them to look out for specific avatars.
(x) Before the Rule was in place it was too much work for the moderators who had to deal with all the ensuing complaints, as well as try to determine which allegations were probably true and which were likely false.
I see nothing wrong with a list of known pirates...how else do we know who not to do buisness with? and who to treat like a leper?
I mean if a guy is going to fly around trying to kill and loot his fellow community members. Its only natural those same victims, would not want to do business with him or others like him.
Who wants to buy stolen loot? or support killers and robbers? thats imo the point of this list...so we know who not to do business with
I would buy stolen loot anytime if the price is right just like everyone else ingame.
Upon reviewing the rules, I know for sure this thread is not allowed.
