Roleplay

[n00bl3t]

I have to disagree to the main topic point.

Simply because if you are talking with a friend, why should you have to alt-tab out of the game every time you want to say something?
Yes use private comms but making RP completely mandatory, in PM's included, constantly is actually damaging to the server as a whole and would be impossible to regulate.

If you don't want someone speaking OOC to you, inform them that with an in RP comment.

Honestly, restricting private communications would cut down on the social aspect of the game and actually make it just less enjoyable for many.

/signed. (If you do not want any OOC chatter with your friend, inform them, they should stop and keep it all in-RP from that point on. It should not be mandatory.)

Edit: Role-playing should be most of the time, when talking in system, to a hostile, arranging a bounty, an escort, etc. (Not when two people are flying to get somewhere in a system with no-one else in it and both want to talk about the football results in private chat.)

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.
