Ok, but thats it is asshattery is not always clear...and if there is no warning then i am afraid that is in itself asshattery.
Pkilling may or may or not be asshatterry, like I have noted there is a good reason to pkill Maza/Wild or Myth/Wild or uknowns for some, i'd say Mumu is within his rights to be enraged at having his ambush go wrong and declare a wipe long vendetta and yet some others would disagree and call it asshatterry.
Mumu being deleted for being annoyed at unexplained effects and venting about it and the result being deletion is also a case of the punishment NOT matching the crime. You don't go deleting because your ego couldn't handle a bit of abuse, well that is not if you don't want to set an example that encourages asshaterry.
If the Imms can be flippant about deleting chars for a little abuse, then so can Mumu choose to rage and pkill others until they ground to dust because they ended up killing him. I hope you can see the analogy.
Sorry, but yes I am asking for the Imms to adhere to a higher standard than the players.
Going the route the imms went with BiA and SoB is the right way...thats all I am saying...and the way they need to stick with at ALL times. That was a refreshing change and worth keeping around.
If you want to keep players, give them ample warning before action....being a heavy-handed douche in response to douchery is lame if you want to encourage a reduction in douchery.
Even players have an off day and slip-ups and the bar should to be lowered to help change the culture of this game.
Deletion should be reserved for persistent infringements, not for just pushing the boundaries on the odd occasion.
Call it care-bear policing if you must, but compassion at the top will trickle down.
I blame the asshat imms, either through cheating or their crappy attitude of the yesteryears for the current culture of player asshattery on this MUD.
