In this day and age, it's no different than owning a bar and allowing minors
to drink. Who get's worked over in the long run? I could download all the
mods in the world to help me track them down... but if at 3am, when all my
admins are asleep, and the server is still full... there's not always
someone to investigate who's posting what. If some kid is playing, and
consertative mom walks in and see's some 13 year old spread on the screen,
she may take a negative interest in my establishment. It becomes my fault,
because I provided the place for that content to be displayed.

Well I don't see how the server owner can be sued and forced to take away
every players ability to express theirself "in a good manner" through
sprays. Only thing he really can do is ban them from that server. I really
do not see any grounds for him to be sued being that he has taken action
against them by banning them.

I totally agree - doesn't a multiplayer game involve social interaction?
Why would the same rules about normal social interaction not apply? Why
would the fact that you communicate and interact through a game
environment
across the internet rather than face to face change the normal rules of
etiquette, sportsmanship and politeness?
It is because some people like acting like thugs - and in this
environment
they can get away with it.
And let's be honest here - the chap is talking about CHILD PORN sprays.
Which of you think that behaviour like that is acceptable in ANY
circumstance?

Whisper,
I agree, this "it's just a game" excuse crap is about as lame as it
gets! Its the same thing as when you call in to get help with your
credit card, computer, etc, and they act like assholes. They do it
because they can get away with it, usually, and love to be idiots and
mean to others. It's a mental issue these people have. Don't get
yourself worked up over it, just ignore the idgits.

How does the "It's just a game" statement justify any of the mulitude of
transgressions one can accomplish in these games, just because they can.
Why is acceptable to do something online that would not be acceptable
offline? I am aware of why people do it, but there is no rationale that I
have seen anybody put forward thus far, that can possibily justify any of
it.
