Thought I would start a debate. The UK may pass a law on making bullying illegal online. How would we stand? imagine a good night of capping and being arrested the next morning cause a kid had spent his pocket money on turf you had bullied off him! Would they be looking for a 'Mr Reaper'?

What does it define as bullying? I'm sure making someone reset for being an annoyance doesn't count.

I think they are referring to racist comments harassment and sexual innuendos rather than beating them in the game lol

I think you'll find that legislation refers to bullying of an individual as opposed to their avatar. Making it difficult for them in real life as opposed to the confines of a game. I suppose if 2 players knew each other personally it would be different if there were abusive pms etc. But between online characters you have to roll with it.

Rhino horns are not ivory.
And even if they were, you guys make the worst poachers I've ever seen.

Hmm that's silly with the gaming, theirs always bullying in gaming, me screaming "die noob!!" on a video game can be taken as bullying it's stupid! I think when it turns more personal like personal threats for real life situations then it should be taken seriously but abit of banter on forums etc shouldn't be taken soo seriously, espically on this game and actually this game is very friendly when u consider that it's a mob/war game, I've never come across any seriously nasty players, well once but he was put in his place :)
