I agree that there should be some sort of enforcement on the server, otherwise shit will continue to degrade, like it has been lately. However, patching in fixes such as the removal of global OOC won't solve these problems. Yeah showing location with each OOC would help, but it isn't the fix this server needs.
I think HB is right, there should be some enforcement on a weekly basis or so. The reason we have some toxic players is because on most pay to play games these players have already been run off by full time staff (on most games anyway). We don't have that enforcement here because things are ran on a strictly volunteer basis. Would this kind of behavior happen on live? Yes, for a few hours or maybe a day, then it would result in a ban.
I personally am not bothered by the OOC trash talking but I can see how it would turn off some new players, especially those with a thin skin. I hear alot of people say "well they probably aren't cut out for red" well you can PVP without getting personal.
