Just an update on why I've taken a sudden interest in this.
I'm expanding atm what our Manage scripts do to include corp and Jael API information as well as the forum account management stuff.

These screenshots do not include the "Alliance" entry above Sniggerdly for Journal and Transactions - this loads Jael Koda's information and where I discovered this bug is still ongoing.
Previously Jaels Journal Information has been stored in the killboard database, upon closer inspection I discovered the script that has been updating it has been bugged and consequently the table had over 1mil rows. Deleting the duplicates reduced it to 17k rows, I then did a little bit of mySQL magic to convert it into a format that has allowed me to insert it all into our api database along with every thing else. This effectively means that the info available for Jael goes back to sometime in 2008 - there are a few holes due to times when the script wasn't working for one reason or another, but it is mostly all there. It doesn't update until this underlying bug getting the data is fixed though.
The pages for journal and transactions are direct duplicates of what is seen in game - the same search boxes and buttons are there and work in the same way - even the comments have the same "[r]" with a tooltip. Later on I can add stuff to improve information access but for now I'm just doing a precise immitation.
Anders doing me a fresh forum mirror - this is a cut down version for obvious reasons that I have direct access to. All passwords are reset, all PMs, posts and threads are deleted. With this I can then start updating how forum irregularities are detected. There will be a script that will run every night and automatically reset anyones access that has a problem.
What this means is:
Everybody must have API char information set for at least their Main which must match their forum name. Those that don't will be purged from forums and services automatically. Like before there will be an exceptions list and like before you can only be added to it by direct DB injection so it remains an exceptions list, not a "I feel quite important list". In short it will only be used for exceptional circumstances where an exception absolutely must be made, kinda like the name implies. As for alts, this will be corp specific and upto CEО/Dirеctors. For Snigg as an example‚ it'ѕ largе size makes tracking alts a nightmare‚ ѕo if I еver get director I would just happily purge all unidentified alts without checking or asking. Afterall‚ all people need to do iѕ put in thеir API - it's not hard. Smaller corps probably don't have the same logistical nightmare so‚ it'ѕ upto thеm how they want to handle it.
As this is probably the wrong place to actually put this‚ I'll do a new thread nearer the time when thiѕ all goеs active to make sure people are at least warned in advance of whats going to happen and give them the opportunity to sort their shit out.
Edit: The manage scripts will only be available to AIC btw
