Prohibited Behaviour

[Snorky]

Like I said what is spamming in this case? If someone uses an emote every minute and no one talks in general chat for 20minutes then your chat box is also filled with 20 laugh emotes in a row. All you gotta do then is put in a report oh look at that spam my entire chat box is filled.

With vague rules like this anyone can bend it to strenghten their argument in their favour.

Except that a GM can put up a time stamped chat that is why you are asked to provide time and date and area. It is vague for a reason if you read those rules it is up to the GM to make the final determination if rules were broken and what punishment will be. They are strict apparently some people cant control themselves so they have to be. I am all for strict rules if it keeps people civil to each other.

most rules are created in the fairy tail assumption that people online have both common sense and respect for other players.

On the internet, this is generally not the case, so they are vague in the sense that a GM can determine if a behaviour is disruptive or harassing and act accordingly, and have their decision covered. If they were laid out in a rock solid manner, there are those people who would push it to the limit and then proudly say "well, I didnt do exactly this.. so its fine... you cant touch me".

I dont mind strict enforcement, but its impossible to come up with a codified laid out list of rules for player that wouldnt involve hundreds of pages to wade through since we all know at least someone that would push it to the brink just to take advantage of a loophole.

This thread smells to me like someone 'playing police.'

My opinion on the matter is that SE isn't paying me to babysit their players.

So far I've never ran across anyone who behaved so badly that I felt compelled to report them. Maybe I've just been lucky but I certainly don't go out of my way to hunt down the misbehavers to report them. I do report the gold sellers as soon as they pop up in chat.

A report for behavior doesn't result in a ban unless it's a repeating offense with actual proof. If anything the Karens out there making asinine or bogus reports are the ones that get banned eventually for attempted abuse of the system.

Sometimes the wrist slap of saying "don't curse in shout chat" is good enough. But you'll get people who just think they are above the rules and you shouldn't retaliate in-chat. Just kick/remove from party and report. No need to play GM.

I think many players are aware, they just don't believe people would report, and/or a GM would ban for it. I've gone over them many, many times on the forums, and stated that I would rather not take the risk in breaking any of them.

You get a warning? That's a permanent mark on your account. You get a strike? Your account is that much closer to being permanently banned.

There should also be a rule where if player agroes enemies and they cover a npc or teleportal that makes it impossible to click on.
