This is CCP's stance on multiboxing, therefore it is our (dual-boxing.com's stance) on MBing in EvE Online.

The first response I recieved stated multi-boxing is not allowed :
Quoted

The following 2 EULA articles are considered to apply to this:

"You may not use your own or third-party software to modify any content appearing within the Game environment or change how the Game is played."

"You may not use macros or other stored rapid keystrokes or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary Game play. You may not rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in any way to acquire items, currency, objects, character attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or achieved in the Game."

More specifically regarding your questions:

1: We do not allow this I'm afraid. {Original question "Do you allow Hardware multi-boxing?"}
2: We also do not allow this. {Original question "Do you allow Software multi-boxing?"}

3 and 4, are not possible due to multi-boxing not being allowed. {Original questions "practice for distinguishing multi-boxing from botting" and "do you have any fair play clauses".}
This was called out already as bad information. My followup question pointed out the "Power of 2" program as a counter and I recieved the following :

You are welcome to use multiple accounts at the same time, no matter how many accounts you are using.

What we understood you were asking with regards to multiboxing, was controlling all of those account with a single keystroke program or mouse click copy program.

To make it more clear: You may use as many accounts as you wish at the same time, however you may not use a program to control more then 1 account at the same time with the same keystrokes/mouse, you will need to actually switch between the windows to control them.
Please be aware, I asked that my ticket be escallated and it was not. The same person gave me both answers.
