This game should not expend resources on policing in game chat.What we need is in-game chat moderators. Let the gm's do gm stuff, let messana do messana stuff, and let the community moderate the community.
How thise moderators should be elected, appointed etc etc, is another story.
I dont buy the, if u dont like what u read, u can leave attitude.
If people cant behave they need to be punished HARD.
OK - maybe in the case of a school-aged bully you certainly don't pull a gun out... but absolutely kids have to be taught to fight back and not just sit back and be the victim. Here in New York City... kids who let themselves be bullied will be targeted for more of it if others see this and think they can get away with it. The second that kid fights back and pops someone in the lip (or an older sibling stands up for them in similar fashion), it discourages others from thinking they're going to get away with it without consequences. Standing your ground and using physical force might not be the first response, but you certainly can't remove the option from the table. We live in a dog eat dog world, brother.Then the police would get called. The person who punched you gets charged with Assault, and you get charged with Assault with a deadly weapon or attempted murder.
Doesn't really work out well for you in that situation, would have been better to stick with what Angel said
Meeting violence with violence is never the best plan.
