Anybody know what went on with that new GM who spawned himself a scorpion and fitted about 25billion ISK worth of rare modules? According to one of the GM's on the forums, he was very new and was fired for abusing his position (I figured this was what happened from the GM's post)

While I am certainly not going to give out the name of the GM in question, as I feel that would be a total breach of anything resembling professionalism, I can tell you that it was none of the GM's mentioned above.

When I said that this GM was brand new, I meant that he was brand new. He was hired (and fired) after the dev blog quoted was written.

Ahhh ... just spotted this :

Ok...

We’ve finished the investigation. There was indeed a guilty party. It was a brand new GM who obviously didn’t understand the rules as they were thorougly explained to him, who took it upon himself to cheat in such an outrageous manner.

This is in fact the first time in three and a half years that a GM has been found cheating in such a way. I wanted to get that out of the way before any conspiracy nuts pop up. But oh boy, was it a doozy.

This particular new GM is now looking for a new job, as we do not, and never have tolarated to even a slight degree, any cheating within EVE. We are much too fully aware of the possible consequences of allowing any cheating to go on among the GM's. We do regular sweeps where we go over the logs of everyone to see what they are doing on their player accounts.

As for the player who ended up with the loot, he has been temporarily banned for refusing to co-operate. We asked him to hand it over, and he flatly refused. We had no choice but to temporarily ban his account while we retrieve the goods. As Kieron stated above, if the bank accidentally deposits money that doesn’t belong to you in your account, you can’t expect to be allowed to keep it.

He will get control of his account back as soon as we’re satisfied that we have retrieved all the stuff.

yup does amake you wonder though, what if they miss some spawnings

*me creates tinfoil hat*

In another post by GM Ender he states there are checks in place, logs are scanned, this case was only brought to attention and solved so quickly as it was declared on the forums ... if it hadn't it would have taken a bit longer as the logs were trawled.
