So yes, I would rather my game time not be tampered with by a bunch of losers measuring their e-peens.

You're in luck! I've done some research, and I think I found the solution to your problem, and it doesn't require anyone to get banned! Decline invites from people you don't know. Disaster averted!

It's funny because the more I learn about the goons the more I feel sorry for them. These are essentially the guys in HS who got bullied and stuffed into lockers, so now they are getting back at the world the only way they know how.

You have a point...there's no place in a game like this for a bunch of nerds like these goons. BAN ALL NERDS!

And yes Godholio what I said may seem like the internet version of taking it outside, but the fact remains the vast majority of these cyber-bullies would never act remotely like this if they were not behind the safety of a keyboard because they'd get their come upenance.

On a serious note, your perception of bullying is pretty extreme. But I think you're right...they probably wouldn't blast aliens with lazerbeems in CLEAR violation of the rules in real life.

But would they pick on each other, make jokes, do goofy sh**? Probably. That's what people do when they don't have a yardstick shoved "all up in there."

Hey All!

What a long thread!

Anyways, just want to clear up a couple things on the GM end:

The fact that you can invite players of the opposing faction is a bug, a critical one at that! Sure, I bet Kirk would readily accept any random invitation to be beamed up to an enemy ship, just for a good fight, but the current intended design is that only members of the same faction can be on the same bridge
The GMs do not condone griefing in any shape or form
The GMs are investigating claims of griefing on a case by case basis and will take the appropriate action as necessary
Throughout the lifetime of an MMO, there will be times when a new issue pops up. As GMs, our initial response to an issue is always subject to change. Sure, our awesome GM Indigofyre took the first look at this, and it seemed alright at the time, but that does not by any stretch mean it's always OK to do forever. We as GMs have the right to change our mind if something seems cool at first, but after uncovering additional information, we decide that it's not appropriate

And, in conclusion, cookies are a _sometimes_ thing.

Can Chock please be put into the game somewhere so we can all laugh at him? Maybe as that uneditable character on the bridge, turn him from a standard starfleet guy into a nerd with a trenchcoat and ridiculous indiana jones replica hat from Disney's Hollywood Studios. He needs to be forever linked to this bridge of death...
