Even though i do the ditties for fun, I don't want to become associated with game bashing with them as that's not what i'm about and what Simcountry is all about either. It's supposed to be a fun place, where people from different countries and cultures can actually unite sharing a common goal of their views knowledge and experience of Simcountry in the forums, and where players can either go down an economic path with their country or countries, or go to war, or have a fine mix of the two - go to war & have a great financial economy.
I also think just to be on the safe side for everyones peace of mind, we need reclarification by W3c of what they view to be harassment towards another person in the chat or forum, because what The Wicked Lady may view as bullying or inappropriate by a particular player, another person if it was happening to them may view it as not that bad, as everyone is different.
A good way for W3c to probably resolve this is by getting all players new and old to click an "I Agree" button to confirm that they have read a "Terms & Conditions Agreement" of using the Chat & Forums and any breach could construe a ban at W3c's discretion (probably have a 3STRIKES and your OUT type of POLICY maybe). We all want freedom of speech, but everyone myself included has to be careful, because, what I may view as fun with my ditties, sometimes could go too far and be viewed as a form of virtual bullying, so if it has done in the past by anybody, then I MUST apologise now.
