I've honestly not had too many run ins with Eunomia, but the few times I've /petitioned for my corpse, or a bugged quest turn in, she responded within the hour. Which was very awesome! In all my time on Red, I've not seen many other GMs get to you quickly.
BUT! The OOC thing upsets me greatly. I LOVE the OOC chat that happens. Yes, I agree, sometimes it's vulgar, and it's not terribly family friendly. And yes, I do know that some people actually DO play this game who want a 'censored' style game, some, I understand, even play with filters on. More power to those people.
I didn't read through this whole thread, because I'm lazy, stoned, and don't want to read 4 pages of other people's bullshit (not saying that some of it isn't constructive, if not maybe [hopefully] all of it).
But I do agree that the limited OOC is a problem, especially coupled with the extremely zealous attitude that Eunomia seems to have about the policy. I liked the conversations, the chat, and I've laughed so hard at some of the stuff said in OOC that I damn near pissed myself. Because the community on Red, even with the vast majority of it being trolls, are good people, who just talk shit in OOC because they CAN. I know some people actually DO GET MAD, but that's their fucking problem. I talk shit in OOC because I can TAKE shit. Usually. I have been known to actually get irritated or upset. But hey, personal attacks on a person should stay out of OOC, if not the game and community entirely.
But I digress. This server's OOC chat can be both horrible, and incredible. And I think we should take the good withe the bad. In a sense I feel like my Red Norrathian freedoms are being stomped upon by the angry heel of Cazic-Thule, and that, in and of itself, is just wrong. Why not, if you're going to implement rules on OOC, let it be something more of an extension of the Play Nice Policy. If Your'e hostile, cursing, or fighting in OOC, then Yeah, you should take it to tells or whatever, but if you're just having a conversation, or maybe trying to make some people laugh, it shouldn't be punishable by 24 hour mute...
