Court House forum should be closed

Piki: I can understand your frustration, but the rules don't usually work quite how you appear to think. Insulting, as in direct mean insults, is against the rules. There is no rule about swearing, around or even at other players (though, depending how heated the situation, that can be cause for a GM to step in. In general though, someone being told to 'f*** off' wouldn't result in a ban - maybe a warning if they were doing so constantly, but in my opinion that would only deserve a ban if they were warned already to stop, and chose to continue. Nor would being called something very minor, like "you're dumb" result in a dire warning/ban.

Understand, I mean that in regards to what the current rules are. I may not agree with every specific rule or application of them, but I am still in game to enforce the rules given.

Back on topic though: The court house Is generally to report administrative actions (this leaves some transparency in how we act, rather than leaving people to feel like we could unfairly punish anybody that gets on our bad sides, without explanation). It is also both helpful as a reference (for example if you report that the same player is always unresponsively botting in a certain spot, we keep our eyes open and check it out), and as a place for players to report abuse from GMs (or to state why you may believe a GM took action against you without proper reason).

I'm not all that opposed to general chat being logged in a worse case scenario, though I wouldn't enjoy that either. I would feel it a step too far to start logging whispers though.

Piki saw some rude words in chat, and saved his complaints to post to the forum, including a demand to close part of the forums.

He was so upset that he deleted his character after this.
In fact, he was so utterly distraught about the situation that he then created 2 new characters and continues to play the game.

We're being trolled.

No way, I don't believe you.
