Chay, Chicka: Ginaria didn't make this thread for these players to be banned, it's just to warn the community.
Also, developers shouldn't take moderator's and GM's tasks, otherwise o11c would ban everybody.
I definitely don't subscribe to racism...weakest pathetic way to pick on a person for nothing. It shows the lack of thinking ability of the person who engages in it, and their weak personality in thinking it is okay to hurt someone based on something that another person isn't in control of.
I do think though that the people were abusive to the player, and this is one of those issues where a general log would be beneficial to vindicate a person from being accused of making stuff up if it happens.
The rules were broken, in that another player was abused by others. It wasn't an argument, but specific targetting and picking on...sure, someone could say "Oh, but maybe the screenshot was made up", but that enforces why it's important to have a log. Personally, if a player carries on like this, they should be brought before the judicial committee, and if it is found that they DID do such things, the LEAST thing that should happen is an acknowledgement given that they broke the rules of the game, and given a formal warning. Sure, that's my opinion, but it's also "the rules"...at least the part about not abusing our fellow players.
What annoys me is that in society all this hoohar about bullying, and how wrong it is, and yet the bullies are allowed to continue to exist by the stupidity of trying to reason with them on their level. That's why even today it goes on in schools, workplaces, and online. And to say it's "just" trolling, well then think "Oh, it was only a piece of lead". Both can be permanently damaging to an individual, just because the person firing it off doesn't "intend" to specifically hurt, or fired it at a friend as a joke. "I just fired my gun in fun", or "I was aiming at a bird". There's a place for that sort of stuff, but as the rules state that abusing other players is wrong, then the place isn't here. There are other places if one wants a shooting gallery. Go there. There are abuse chat sites. Made just for the troll. This leads me to the next point that considering that these places exist, why do people have to insist in bringing nastiness here? They should go and find a troll site, where people are giving them permission to abuse them. If they don't want to, it shows that they personally don't like being trolled themselves, and highlights the hidden away weakness of biting an unexpecting victim. Very weak personality. Taking pleasure at making a happy person's life miserable. Disgusting. The people who insist on doing this are really scraping the bottom of the barrel of human emotions. Yes, lots of words, and I mean every one of them. Opinionated? Maybe. Still, I'm happy to not like taking pleasure in nastiness.
