It's not that people want to chat about out of game topics. It's that people Troll for attention, and get it... from other Trolls, and this makes /ooc unusable to anyone except the Trollers and Flamers. I dont care if you want to talk about your neighbors bad breath, or how far up your ass your panties ride. I just get tired of the obvious spamming of ignorant crap that that is intended to do nothing more then disrupt the channel. Once the the channel turns into a white noise of whos smoking what, why <insert political figure here> is the worst ever, why your religion is better than others and god doesnt love anyone but you... It starts to effect all those that don't want to be a part of the circle jerk. Sure, we can turn it off, Ive done it many times, but that takes a part of the game that is intended for honest discussion of in/out of game issues and makes it only usable by those taking part in the bull shit.
It's not about talking to others about whatever you want. Its about disrupting the channel for the sake of disrupting the channel, then telling everyone else they need to alter their game to accomodate you.
