You know, I think Ima post before reading through this, but I do plan on doing so.

before I begin, let me explain this part here:

Sanctions as well, are starting to be a bit of a problem. I see the precendence was set recently for swearers to be banned for 30 days. Fine, but then I saw a relatively recent sanction by Xoria in which the person was banned for 7 days for dropping the F-bomb..

This sanction was not only because the person dropped the F-Bomb, but because the person spat at me as a person ingame. Regrettably, the entire system of Cambridge decided to do that at the time, and this person just happened to be the one who took it too far and decided to swear at me. If you look at the rest of the sanction, it also reads as follows:

Also, consider this your warning for out of character comments. Next time it will be 10% of your credits for each line of OOC chat.

That is entailing the rest of what he did to me to warrant a sanction.

ANYWAY:

I do think this community is the best community on the internet that I have been a part of. If I could point towards Guild Wars Guru, that community is a bastion of rudeness and haberdashery, of which this community has nothing of the sort. Of course, that is mainly because of the metagaming nature of Guild Wars, and not completely the fault of the community at Guild Wars Guru...

At any rate, I think that the eldest among us could be a little more polite to other members. This includes admins, moderators, factioners, and independents. In other words, everyone could be a tad nicer to each other. Of course, this is only if we want to stop ourselves from becoming like the good folks at Guild Wars Guru.

I also think that a harder stance could be taken against OoRP in system chat and incomprehensible foreign languages (Such as those not found in Freelancer) in system chat. It isn't healthy for a Roleplaying environment, and I do think it should have a harder punishment than swearing for excessive OoRP. Because of the console messages, I do think that there is no excuse for OoRP, unless the person has never seen that console message, which is applicable for people of very low level, but definitely not for people who no longer have a Civilian ID.

Well, that's what I think.

EDIT: I also think a harder stance could be adapted against the use of random symbols and leet-speak in names. It isn't good for Roleplaying as well, mainly because it breaks immersion and is plainly ugly, as well as the stated reason of it messes with the alphabetizing of the server.
