Of course I know you were being you Bonesy *grin*

Virg, let's forget about the fights, and if I have gone too far, I apologize. I consider you somebody who is seriously engaged in improving the game so let us forget about useless quarreling. As to the sexism thing, I have too often experienced the chest drumming attitude not to be sensitive about, maybe too much. And yes, I am sticking to science, and there are not few males in that field I extremely respect, Georg Cantor and David Hilbert to name a few.

I agree to you that technical measures may close loopholes and reduce abuse as well as unintentional conflicts. Therefore I agree that the change under dispute may prove useful.

But it will not address the problem of intentional abusers like cheaters and botters, and no technical solution will. Because hunting abusers is chasing a moving target while technical solutions are static by their nature.

That is why things like a CoC or penal codes in RL do exist. They are addressing unruly behavior rather than special situations prone to be addressed by technical measures. Stealing is prohibited by penal codes no matter how, where or when the thief is stealing, for example. Technical intricacies are irrelevant, here.

Ingame, it is the (unpleasant) duty of the CSR to determine transgressions.Game mechanics do not help much, here. But what is missing, are not so much definitions of abuses, rather efficient sanctions.

That was what I was writing about. And in fact, I am not unemotional about the topic. Right now, a seasoned and respected player is unsubbing because she is pissed off by the abundance of botting in the game. Though I disapprove that kind of reaction as escapism if not cowardice the abuse causing such reaction exists.

Accepted and agreed.
