Problem is I can't just remove their OOC ability -

Aussie OOC banned Jody for 3 days. But I could still log in and play. So I sense some fallacies in this statement.

Straw-man argument. You are correct though, OOC was fixed. This is still the issue at hand :

I believe I had spoken to the guild leaders regarding handing down their own punishments for people that step out of line in OOC or on the forums. Has anyone been docked loot, raid attendance, DKP, or been suspended for raiding? If not, that's a serious problem, because people have definitely crossed the line in both guilds, and should have been punished. I can only do so much babysitting during the day, and I'm not a huge fan of pouring over 18 hours of /ooc text after work and all my other CSR stuff every night. Sometimes I happen to catch people step out of line, but more often than not it filters through the cracks. This is why I need the community's help, especially guild leaders/officers and community leaders that people look up to.

You guys are the ones people will listen to without needing to get suspended. If you go to your peers and you say "look guys, the staff is right, we really need to clean this up if we want more people to play here. So let's get to it!" you're going to have much more clout and your statement will hold much more weight as it's not coming from the CSR staff.

We have the forums for selling items. Not to mention with area based OOC, you'll still have plenty of people to talk to - cities become the new "EC tunneL" where you auction your stuff, or look to buy stuff. Alternatively, you can be a traveling salesman, going from OOC area to OOC area to peddle your wares. The areas are of a decent size and link similar zones together.

If you guys don't like that solution, clean up global OOC.

I feel like the area-wide OOC would be much better regardless :[
Doubt that that would even force people to clean up their acts, would just be more localized toxicity.

hb u listed 18 mobs not 19

Is it possible to have ooc turned off as default? Make them turn it on if they want to see it.

Server chat is NOT for talking shit. It's for general discussions on Red 99, PvP, and Project 1999.

It is NOT for you to spew bullshit about your feud no one cares about except for a rapidly dwindling hardcore neckbeard forum crew who - with few exceptions - hardly even play anymore.

Knock this shit off. Will start moving punishments to include in-game accounts if people can't learn where to post their threads. If it's mildly antagonistic (you KNOW what's going to light people's fires - that's why you posted the thread in the first place) put it in RnF. If it's talking shit about someone or a guild or an event - RnF. If it's got pictures of people dying, RnF. If it's about how person x raped person z financially and physically, while also neglecting person q... PUT IT IN RNF.

Last fucking warning. We let so much shit slide with you guys that would never fly on Blue because we respect the community and understand you are cut from a different cloth. Unfortunately we have to draw the line somewhere. If we can't all handle the privilege of having a forum to post on, we can come up with alternative motivations and punishments for those who can't figure it out.

Thanks, love you all.

Any chance you do the same to OOC ingame?

Its 90% toxic bullshit.

We both know this server isn't going to attract players with its current climate, nor is the current playerbase much to get excited about.

Awesome post btw.

Looking forward to area OOC...all the chit chatters will have to go through cities which is good for new guys too.
