Some of you may wonder what the official stance on this topic is. I can't speak for the rest of the staff, but I'll gladly share my views, and let you know what you can expect if I'm reported to concerning this sort of issue.
If you report to me that you were stole from, I'm likely going to say, "That's too bad." If you report to me that someone threatened your character, and it was found to be an in character situation, I'm likely going to say, "That's nice."
If you report to me and say so and so is harassing me, I'm going to investigate, and I'm going to mangle any guilty parties. If you report to me and say that someone is threatening you in an out of character manner, I'm going to find out if it's true, and I'm going to squish any guilty parties.
If you report to me and tell me that someone killed you for no reason, I'm going to find out what happened. If it was for no reason, they get spanked. If there was reason, I'll at least consider spanking you for lying.
If you don't report to me, I won't do a thing. First of all, there is no alarm that goes off on my computer when someone harasses, attacks, or badmouths your mama. Second of all, if you don't report to me, I assume you liked it, if I do know it's going on. I think it's safe to say that any player who has reported to me a situation as such has left feeling that it was handled to an appropriate degree...feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. If you are reporting these situations, and you don't feel that it's being handled well, write a letter to another staff member. Include the fact that you spoke to a staff member, and give us their name. We won't take your word blindly, but we will investigate. If your contention is against a senior staff member, there are 3 more to speak to.
