Abuse of the TOS. Loophole regarding griefing/trolling. Needs a solution.

This post is golden.
People role-playing in a Massively Multiplayer Role-Playing Game? How dare they?!

Yoshida has repeatedly mentioned Roleplayers in the past, and even spoke of many quality of life changes with roleplayers in mind. He has personally said that he wanted to implement more RP friendly changes because of the roleplayers and wanted to make them happy. At this point Yoshi sees us as a legitimate member of the community and just as important to the overall health of the game as any other player. So you're wrong, dead wrong even.

People roleplaying in a game that has RP in the game's genre, who'da thunk it.

Hmmmm, well that depends greatly on the rp. I have seen some pretty weird stuff and had even weirder things pop up in my chat log over the years...

Nope. There is no RP server ruleset in place. Move on.

Harassment is harassment. Doesn't matter what 'group' the person identifies with or how they label themselves, or how others label them, etc etc.

How can you prove it is harrassment? They could have just been a band that decided to RP in their favorite spot, and they just happened to be 'rp'ing' there.

That's the GMs' call but in the past, they have enforced actions against players that move on top of someone already there and engage in disruptive actions, emote spam, etc etc.

The difficulty is just catching the perpetrators, as a GM probably has to see it unless there's evidence in the logs.

In my opinion this is a complete waste of GM resources and time. Unless it is continued targeted true harassment. This obsession with getting people banned is absolutely ridiculous. Move on, get over it. I do not classify this has "harassment". The GMs take action on anything and everything so I wouldn't be surprised if they would take action on something so meaningless.

Are people really that fragile? Go RP somewhere private then, Jesus. Or even better, pause RPing and rather invest that time to work on your coping skills.

you get on the forums to see what the community discusses.You read stuff like this...Jeeeeze la wheeeze! The GM button is not a toy.
