Do you have to return the JPEG before they authorize the refund or do you need some kind of proof it was deleted? I mean what's stopping someone from getting a refund and the.n passing it along to his friends???

No goons lost money in this debacle, they all sold their jaypegs for thrice what they paid for them. Careful with these unsubstantiated allegations least Lowtax be forced to call Leonard "J." Crabs.

If you melt something you get RSI credits, they can see what pictures you own in your hangar gallery. So that's not going to work.

Eurogamer did a piece on the grey market a while back that's interesting.

Thanks for your mail and the massive amount of patience you have shown us thus far!

Your most recent infraction is for a Rule 3 - trolling or 'posting with the sole intent of getting a rise out of other users' in the following thread:

https://forums.robertsspaceindustries.com/discussion/comment/5599474/#Comment_5599474

As this is not the first time you had trolled the Goons, it was felt to issue another 30 day probation.

A contributing factor his your long list of similar Rule 1, 2 and 3 (Be good, Keep it Clean, Trolling respectively) infringements.

Granted, some of them are mild, which is why you're on your 2nd 1 month probation - normally a permareview would have occurred already.

I would like to caution you to stop attacking users personally or to bait and troll them. It won't take very much before your account is escalated to me for a permaban review.

Should you have any further questions or require further clarification about any of our rules, let me know.

Landings can be automated if you buy a docking computer (most people don't bother though, manual landings are extremely easy and somewhat satisfying).

I'd be surprised if Octopede is still in for $1500, that spreadsheet was from 2013, anything bought excluding the Idris P was giftable and everything available then is still worth far more now. I'm not sure how long that's going to stay true for though as I feel a bubble is about to pop.

The major whales kept a limited ship wait list secret for over 6 months, then kept the ability to unmelt something a secret for months too. Once normal punters found out about the wait list CIG binned it, once they found out about unmelting they removed the ablity to gift from unmelted.

They're in a secret forum with all the people who donated to Doobie's Dog House or developed Zybourne Clock

Also Erectile:Disfunction is kind of crappy. Maybe after a couple of expansions it'll be worth playing but at the moment it's quite boring and grindy. Tons of procedural content but very little of it is worth looking at twice.
