I cast "Cone of Politeness"

On another subject, I played a few hours of WoW last night. World of Warcraft has a few different kinds of game servers: PvE, where you only battle other players if you and the other players choose; PvP, where if you enter certain areas, you can be attacked at any time; and Role-Play, where in-game conversations are expected to remain in the persona of your chosen character.
The point of all this is that I've begun yearning for a new kind of WoW server: RolePlay-21, where players don't have to stay in character, but they all have to converse in-game with maturity, manners, and otherwise like people with fulfilling lives outside the Internet.
I'll move all my characters over there like a shot.

Fortunately, on Trek BBS, you have to reach 100 posts before you can link images into the post, so you at least had to click on the links.The moderators had to take until after midnight last night to put out all the fires.
Also fortunately, he hadn't bothered to do any kind of masking (doubt he was that smart) and they've nailed him and contacted his ISP.

Lots of folks on them like to just get on and spend a couple hours ganking folks who can't necessarily defend themselves. Can be frustrating, but, well...a bit more satisfaction in leveling, 'cause it's harder.
But yeah, WoW players can be frighteningly immature.
