Station Turrets not working as designed

Oct 20, 2016 greenwall link
I've written a ticket about this occurring in Latos and in Pelatus but have gotten no response. Various people in guilds who are my enemies have been somehow able to turn off / deactivate station turrets for stations they do not have keys for.

Just moments ago (removed) literally just sat on a turret in C12 and it didn't fire at him. I have repeatedly verified they do not have keys.

The turrets simply do not fire at them.

This is some serious exploitation that they are continuing to engage in despite knowing about it.

Devs can feel free to delete this thread once they've responded to my ticket.

Greenwall, you know this thread is explicitly in violation of the Be Nice forum policies, specifically:

(These forums) also do not exist as a place to level public accusations of cheating or "raise public awareness" of possible game exploits or violations in policy: These issues should be addressed privately to the developers via Support Tickets, which will be investigated in the extensive game-server logs.

You know perfectly well that your behaviour is unacceptable, and that this should be addressed only in a ticket. But you think that because you didn't get a response (on a ticket filed.. yesterday?), you're somehow "justified" in making this personal accusation public. You are not. Self-righteous indignation is not an excuse for actions that foster flamewars and are worse for the community, and the game as a whole.

We will deal with issue, in due course, on a schedule we determine, and we may or may not respond to you at all. In case you haven't noticed, we just shipped on a major new platform today. We certainly care about problems in the game, and potential exploits or issues, but that doesn't automatically make you and your problems the center of the universe.

What I am going to "feel free" to do here, is kick you off my forums for the next 7 days, with the requirement that you permanently adjust your behaviour thereafter.

We will look into these other issues when we get some devtime, which is dependent on the progress of other time-sensitive development that takes priority.
