Shermy Trade on my server is usually fairly clean, this is because people report the offenders relentlessly.
I cannot stress this enough.
Vrakthris has said this before, and probably more eloquently than I will, but I'll try to paraphrase to the best of my ability. Think of your realm as if it were your neighborhood. When you see something bad, like graffiti or a piece of litter, what do you do with it? Do you help clean it up? Do you report it? Or do you just leave it be?
If you report it, you show your community as a whole that you won't stand for that kind of behavior. The authorities will take action when and where they can. Criminals are dissuaded when they know authorities are active in an area, and authorities are more active in areas where the community is vocal in protecting their neighborhoods.
Our game works the same way. Game Masters are a reactive service - they are generally unable to take action unless they receive a report about the situation. If you see something you don't approve of (or something that violates our
Harassment Policies), then please take a moment to report it to us! Our staff is more than happy to investigate and take the appropriate action, though please be aware that they are unable to inform you of actions taken on another account.
The quality of your game play environment is of paramount importance to us, and we're there to help. You just need to ask. >^.^<
