It is exactly a double standard, if a base is denying an area then it is covered under the petition:
Quote:This is an open petition signed by the following players asking you to remove all Player-owned bases from jumpholes, jumpgates and mining fields and to place them into locations that are in accordance with the rules (not closer than 15k).
We think that area denial bases and hole/gate blocking bases should not have a place in today's Disco any more.
Change the bold part to "we think certain area denial bases" or "bases that deny the aforementioned areas" and the blanket term is no longer an issue, leave it open and people will nitpick the hell out of it.
I don't have a positive word to say about the PoB system or anything related to it so having such a state of affairs doesn't surprise me in the least but thats for another thread.
