Other than the fact that I play EVE, I am in no way associated with Bob, but I say no, do not ban him unless it can be proven that he acted "illegally" and with knowledge.
Kug did some more then just revealing a RL Name as far as i read it on his Forum. And i m not talking bout hacking into the Boards. Furthermore, you might want to include Mattani (sp?) from the Goonies into the Poll, since he did the same thing as Molle.
Not in game, just ban him from forums for breaking forum rules. Also all these BOBs who used to share account for that cynonet should be banned, since thats clear exploit of rules for big in game advantage.
Don't care if he's banned or not, what does matter to me is that a player was aloud to post another players personal information and is still allowed to play.
That was enough for me to cancel my subscription. Played for a month an half.
btw, just mah $0.02. Piss or get off the Pot. If you think this is wrong instead of starting polls, and bitching about how corrupt the game is quit, or shutup.
I find it funny how everyone is up in arms, and CCP is laughing all the way to the bank. They handled this horribly, and don't care.. why, cause all the lemmings who believe it's wrong will continue to play.
Funny thing is.. up until last week, I thought Band of Brothers was a great book by S.Ambrose lol.

Lets be somewhat fair here. Ban 'everyone' that shares accounts, regardless of the Alliance/Corporation ticker. There.. way better.
Sir Molle not only revealed Ku's personal details he encouraged others to RL grief him. In law whistleblowers are protected, Ku broke no in game rules or EULA rules as far as I can make out all his crimes were about obtaining the info he did through unprovable off non-official forums and out of game. He did break the forum rules on posting RL info about another player.
They should either unban Ku's 5 banned account or ban all of Sir Molle's accounts. They should also ban everyone who was involved in account sharing but that seems to be a rule that CCP is quite happy not to enforce. Noone to date has been banned for account sharing.

Yeah ofcourse, if something come up and get reported to CCP they should investigate and hand bans if needed to. Cynonet should be easy to trace as these accounts would be logged same time as someone elses account that is flying monthership/carrier/dread from same pc most of time and then just check account owner and if it different account owner -> ban.

I wasn't going to do answer this poll. It seemed to be more of a troll/humorous poll than a serious question.
But my curiosity got the better of me. And well, I expected most answers to be "I'm a Dev in BoB". But no, this poll shows the anger felt by the Eve player base, myself included, at the antics of a once respectedt alliance.
Actually I think people complaining about the accountsharing are just trying to find an excuse/reason to hate BoB even more. Account Sharing is pretty common in eve imho, Guess there are lot of peeps who share a hauler alt e.g.
Posting RL names and working place of kugutsmen was way over the top, though what he did was in no way better. The fact that he actually found quite some important information only partly redeems his hacking attempts.
The forum rules don't apply to BoD members, its a well known fact.
What I find most interedting is that the post in question that should have been an insta-ban was edited by a forum moderator first, then SirMolle came back and edited it as well.
But I suppose thats what you get with friends in high places.

So is botting, so because its common its ok to break the rules? I am betting some players have got banned before for account sharing, but guess its time to make exception because its BOB who are friends with dev, its not cool to ban any cheater in BOB? Actually according kugus blog there are some who bot in BOB.
A certain BoD leader was also caught macroing - using a program to automagically grab 0 ISK escrows for risk-free profit. He, too, was given a pass by CCP.
BoD is playing a different game than everyone else. They are the Gods and we are the Clods. Their metagame monopoly has always been their primary secret of success.
Well my brother read Sir Molle's post, and it indeed did offer personal info. So you argue all you want, the post did exist and did include bannable material. Unfortunately he did not make a copy of it.
That being said, the favoritism being displayed on BOB behalf is just another nail in the coffin as far as I am concerned.

Get over with it CCP. Ban him now.
He broke the rules. Be gone!
If that cannot be proven, then no ban.
And I did not answer in the poll.

GM Grimmi explains the how serious it is to post public info to Kugutsumen here: www.kugutsumen.com/showthread.php

A forum ban should be the minimum.
Greetings,
why to ban players if it is CCP's fault ( devs GMs etc ) ?
Also exploits r bugs of program and it is dev's and CCP's testers faults not ppls.
Would be better if CCP was reorganising their policy and fire some ppl that
made bad name for the company.If I for example was asking 10 billions from
a GM and GM was giving them to me who's fault would be ? ofc GM's.
Why r u only talking about bobs and u dont say anything about microminers and
also about what happened with taiwan players and chinese server ?
