    yes...another threat at evony...people won't want to play in an environment accepting of That guy's antics. People won't want their children exposed to this kind of behaviour, clearly prohibited in the terms and conditions. These are truly threats levied, yessirree...not in any way reasonable hypotheses based on world observations.
    Freedom of speech laws do not allow you to post sexually harassing messages to other people. Cyber-bullying has been equated as a form of stalking, and can be criminally prosecuted.
    If you were doing this in a company setting, you'd be fired. If a coach publically announced objectionable beliefs to the media, he'd be fined by the league. To claim freedom of speech in this case is not only inapplicable, but absurd. Verbal abuse is not something to be tolerated. And certainly not on world chat. I have sent objectionable mail to people, saying things they might not like to hear, but I have always managed to do so explaining the reasons for my beliefs, behaviours, and I have never resorted to the type of name calling and sexually explicit material dealt with here. The fact is, this should not be allowed on any evony server, and sociopath, your attempts to defend it border on the ridiculous.

    As stated earlier, trash talk is acceptable. Threaten to drop me to one city all you want. Tell me I have no skills as a player. Tell me you could take all my cities in a day. But as soon as you make it personal, you go too far. Even yo' mama jokes, technically speaking, if an 'offender' is asked to stop, fall under harassment laws. I'm not saying all such interactions need to be stopped, but if reported, they need to be followed up on, and the results need to be reported to the victim, even if it is determined that the victim isn't one. A clear line needs to be established, and this is the perfect opportunity to do it.
