My suggestion is that account on forum and account ingame should be tied together. If not already.
Then make it so that you can /ignore someone on the forum or /ignore someone ingame.
And have the /ignore work both on the forum and ingame.
Is that possible?
That way players are accountable for their actions and they have an identity ingame and on the forums. The same accountability everywhere for the community.
1. Someone is rude to everyone on forum? They might get blocked ingame.
2. Someone talks too much or posts to much (guilty) they might get ignored on forums or blocked ingame.
3. Someone screws you over on a raid or steals from your house, block them and never see them again.
4. Rude to everyone with dozens of alts? Still accountable for your actions.
this will free up a lot of moderating from ingame on on forums by gms and make people think twice before being rude/jerks/general scumbaggery/spammers.
It might even encourage courtesy and polite conversation.
