Or is this > considered out-of-game conduct? I do. However, I'm never directly present _as an admin character_. I have no time. I am about 2/3rds of Dark Ages development/operations staff. A player present will inform me. Usually guards or legislators do this. I immediately investigate and decide. Often times players solve it themselves. A guard may punish or may educate. The division of labor: 1. Terms of Service Agreement: Nexon handles. That is, I do. 2. In-game laws. Players handle it. For example, there are role-playing laws by the players. I actually don't agree with some of the laws. As long as the laws or law-enforcers are not hurting the community, the players control politics. My previous messages show details. Players decide to what degree to carry the law. Role-playing laws are generally considered a special form of harassment, because it annoys some members of the community. If nobody present is annoyed, then there's no need to enforce it. A law enforcer could be more demanding, but I wouldn't want it. Entertainment is more important than lawyering. Authoritarianism kills fun for the common man.
