Tightwad Player Threats

[collinjd]

Ok, first let me say i understand the rules and do not purposely break them, but people make mistakes. My friend was threatened by another player the other day because he forgot to type // (ooc) in the system chat dialog. All he said was a joke to a very large and very rich trader about loaning a large some of money to him. The trader responded with a chuckle and all was well. Then, some dude threatens to report my friend for not using //. Why go this far? Is it not a bit ridiculous to escalate a simple RP violation to extreme measures.

C'mon, RP is important, and without it, the game would be no fun. But being threatened to be banned over a simple incident is retarded. The biggest problem I have is the way it was handled. It is one thing to say "// for ooc in system please" It is a whole other thing to say "//You know I could report you for that right."

Please people, show some common courtesy and most of all, common sense. If you are polite, the problem goes away without incident. If you are a buthole, you agitate other people. Which makes playing this game not fun more? Accidental bad RP, or Rude players.
