    What you do is your own perogative but using it in this debate is wrong as Murdoch did not do that.

    As for the Punishment I will Quote the rules that Evony Team ignores for in game:

    * DO NOT use any prohibited topics, words which listed below:

    * Politics
    * Sex and sexuality

    Sadly I would like to warn other parents that these rules only seem to matter on the Forums. In game there does not seem to be any enforcement of these rules. Since you are not allowed to complain to the game team when people break these rules against you!
    So when do you want to be banned for discussing a form of politics and when do you want the OP banned for discussing sex AND politics?

    Nice try by attempting to force the Evony teams hand though. By doing this you show yourself up due to the aggressive and misguided manner in which you do it.

    Use the block feature and straighten your own life out before you get mad at a few pixels.

    The woman in question here is Aithne who is not underage...

    The rest I agree with but saying he is going after underage women is just adding slander to an already terrible name...

    I have spoken about politics, religion and sex in in game chat all without being insulting does that mean I should get a ban as well?

    The whole nude pic thing... anyone who asks an underage girl for that has issues. But I have been asked more times than I have asked.. 3-0

    The whole "innocent" kid speech on here is nice and all but I have been cursed at more times by people under 18 in game than anyone else. Although I agree its wrong to curse at a kid we should not portray them as wide eyed and innocent. Most adults know the boundaries of chat while a good amount of kids still have not matured enough to accept things as gracefully.

    I'm not saying he was right.... just expressing my viewpoint.

    Anyways.... shouldn't this thread be closed because it deals with a somewhat sexual type of talking? At least it talks about sexual harassment and will prob lead to half the active Server 2 Forum posters getting banned..

    Default hmmm

    This whole situation has got out of control. I completely blame evony for this, That guy has made many distasteful comments .....so have most for that matter Kids or adults. duk did go too far in his WC post and most likly in his whispers and mails.
    That being said the world of evony will have the same ppl in it as the real world and this will happen. Evony need to police this better. I also believe the block button was put there for a reason, but ultimatly Evony is to blame.

    This is just my view on the topic......as u all know i can be wrong haha

    I wasn't talking about Aithne and sadly I know a number of players who's parents had to ban this website because of players like That guy (to quote Sociopath) and the fact that Evony was allowing their kids to be sexually harass and not allowing them to even talk to them.

    Sorry I tried to leave Names out of it. But it is a problem here since in game there is no to far anymore!

    Oh dear.. Now you are blaming the game for not 'policing' itself better. The servers are based in America and not in China so why would/should the moderator team treat this place like a corrupt communism/nanny state just because some hypocritical people are too lazy to teach/watch their kids ?

    Do it yourselves instead of blaming other you pedantic sycophants

    I'm not even sure where to begin. It's just so incredibly sad to see some of the....hummmm.....shall we say, uneducated opinions in this thread.

    Sociopath.....actually it's useless to really comment on your stance that individualism is the way to go, because sociopaths are never swayed in their opinions....that's a featured characteristic of sociopaths; they really don't care what anyone thinks or feels.

    Joda.....this is not about sexuality. It has nothing to do with sexuality whatsoever. This is about rage exerting power on a victim for no other reason then self-satisfaction.....and with no concern about the impact the victim will experience.

    Maybe it's time to add my chapter to this story. I was pounding on one of Murdoch's places when his account became active. I don't know for sure that he was the one who activated, but I have not received language like he used from anyone else.

    He knew nothing about me, to my knowledge. I have been lurking a lot lately, though I've played for more than a year.

    And his first words to me were of such offensive nature that I have now forbidden my 13yr grandsweetie to continue her account. She plays on another server, but you don't have to warn me twice that she is at risk of exposure to thoughts and deeds I don't want her to know about yet.

    This is inconsequential, I'm sure......but in real Life it has been my work for more then 3 decades to progress the safety of children from predators. I completely understand that the status of children in my nation is far healthier then half of the global population of children....and therefore it is difficult to draw fine lines globally that will be supported by all....but we need to try.

    I believe That guy had the right to say whatever he chose to say. I also believe he has the responsibility to accept the consequences of his actions. He indiscrimately used the communication aspects of Evony to open a door to behaviour that places children at risk, is offensive to women, and is not what most men would ever display and say does not represent them. It is unusual behaviour for a reason....because it is not to be tolerated by civil society. (wasn't that important when 'Civony' was designed?)

    You know....it just occured to me....both Aithne and I share our love of this game with our spouses. Both of them have been helping us deal with the emotions That guy has provoked in Aithne and I. How many couples play this game? How much is the profit dependant on spousal support for expenditures for this game? How many guys want their wives exposed to That guy?? Hummmmm......

    You should really read up more on law in the USA. I was trying to be nice to Evony and save them. But o well not really my problem.

    Another threat levied at Evony? This time monetary themed?

    You and others have already done more harm than an infantile rant had done. Good try though as the rest of your misguided post was pretty decent regardless of the holes in it.

    Hey.... my opinion can be as uneducated as I want



    http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?...66#post1198666

    That pretty much sums up what evonys policy is for what you can say... they just need to possibly find a new or better system to control us knuckleheads

    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.
