There are degrees of harrassment, sexual or otherwise. It should be considered on a case by case basis. Some people feel person A asking person B if they wanna go on a date is sexual harrassment. Is that really worth a lengthy ban when a simple no will suffice? If they ask again just block them. They'll get the hint you're really not interested. If it continues then other steps can be taken but just as in the real world you should at least try to deal with some situations on your own instead of expecting everyone else to do it for you.

As far as the Rules of Conduct go, if you're too lazy to bother reading them then don't go crying foul cause you didn't know any better. Might work on your parents but not on me :P. At 13 which is the supposed minimum age to play you should have SOME common sense. We all know 13 year olds already know everything and are smarter than everyone on the planet.

Apparently it's 12 now.

You over-estimate the human race, especially those on the internet. Common sense is not so common.

I agree that mild forms of harrassmet can alot of times be handled on a persons own. Lord knows, I have done it many times, but there have been some that I have seen that are really, really bad, and repeated over and over by the same people. These people should be punished harshly, and staff on playerworlds sometimes, really don't care. Playercount means so much more....

Thats what globals are for.

I think I'm pretty sure you're referring to yourself on Classic.

Globals shouldn't be over burdened with this stuff, but yea, you are right.

I have been on quite a few playerworlds that I haven't seen extreme harrassment and sexual harrassment. I was not only speaking of what has been said to myself either.

If it's not important enough for them, then it's not that bad.

Its always important enough if the player has tried to resolve it locally first and didn't get any results. But there is a chain of command, many people tend to try to bypass that chain.

The problem with pm logs and screenshots is they are too easily altered. They can be used to support your claims but can't be considered gospel truth. Supporting evidence always helps which is why often a resolution that makes everyone happy doesn't happen.
