Posting a Killmail or Lossmail

NOTE: The comment should explain briefly the engagement conditions; who aggressed first, security status or corp standing of the opponent, solo or fleet engagement, etc.

Killboard Comments

NOTE: While a member of EVE University, you are required to comment on ALL of your Kill and Loss Mails. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action.

Do NOT include a link to the AAR. Do NOT name the FC, scout, or anyone else in the comment.

All Killmails must be posted even from an Eve University member against another Eve University member or an NPC. If it was a case of wartime SOP violation or anything else of the sort, it should be reported to the Student Relations Manager.

To comment you must first find your password you must be logged into the forum click User Control Panel then go to Profile then edit profile and you should be able to see your password. If you have not appeared on the killfeed as an IVY League member (killed someone or been killed) you will not be able to log in or comment, if you have just had your first kill you may have to wait up to two hours before the killfeed will allow you to log in.
