I am tired of Ben not doing anything about people who lie, cheat, and steal in this game. Ben gives people to many chances. People need to be banned. How many more agencies must suffer the consequences of having rogue detectives join, take sign on bonuses, loot lockers, steal money from safe accounts, and then leave to repeat the process before the administration takes action? Chronestrian left this site for a reason, and I spoke to him shortly before he quit. I honestly told him that the site was not going to change and that people would continue to abuse the system without any fear of punishment. Enough is enough. I call upon the denizens of Slueth to support my referendum. Ben must take action against repeat offenders.

Not sure that connected agencies is really a problem here.

I agree with roamie 120% that this game should be targeted for mature audiences. If you go back and study some of the recent history, you will find that most of the troublemakers are people that are not mature enough (in real AND mental age) to participate in a comunity game like this one.
And do not even get me started on those that come in here and whine because they cannot do more for free. Anyone care to guess how old most of them are?

Sorry, I should have clarified, I don't have a problem with the big agencies at all (I'm a HHer for godsakes lol), I just think they do things a little differently, and its easier for us to recruit serious players because the reputation of HH, Eye Spy, or the GSS agencies sort of precedes us. I will say, however, that I've also managed to recruit a LOT of great people into SMRT so all is not lost :)

Totally agree with the advertising to a more mature audience though. Unfortunately, teenagers who can handle being here are the exception, not the rule.

I can tell you AndreaX that I am 23 years old. So my guess is that most of the immature people are around 23 years old.

Bah... Not all 23 year olds are immature. I swear sometimes that I'm more mature than people 10-20 years my senior.

Pshhh, I'm 32 and I'm FAR less mature, in many ways, than many younger people. To whit, I just ate a pound of shrimp because I didn't want to throw them out.

I have to say, as much as the last few days, and a few other glaring instances, testify to the contrary, my experience has been that there are people who are mean, dumb, disruptive and irritating at every age. Given the choice of what kind of problem I'd rather deal with, I'd take a babbling kid over a malicious adult any day of the week. In fact, I find myself FAR more angry with supposed...adults...who do mean and jerky stuff on purpose than I do with their younger counterparts, and I've really enjoyed meeting some funny, bright, cool younger people here too! I'm saying, one yoyo does more good for the community than ten werbers do harm and I like those odds.

Banning is difficult, simply because the technology out there is such that an IP ban often represents a temporary solution at best. I'm not really very internet savvy though, so I'm not aware of a better approach. As for the piece about people moaning about what they get for free..totally. No sympathy there at all. Don't whine about an all-you-can eat buffet when you're starving and someone hands you a free coupon for a three-piece combo :P

Dude, can I totally get a chicken biscuit and a sweet tea with that coupon? lol. Sorry, since I moved to the south I have become obsessed with Bojangles. lol. We seriously needed those back in California. And oh man Sweet Tea is the nectar of the gods! Forget uzo. hehe. Ok so I guess I'm living proof of Crunch and Akano's theory that maturity doesn't come with age. :-P

I believe I stated my opinion on this matter on a deleted thread...

If we were to ban every idiot on the site...

...I wouldn't be here :D

I didn't get the swet tea thing either. I've been living in the South for over 15 years and cannot develop a taste for that stuff. Ewww.

After one trip to Tennessee, my spousal unit is totally hooked on sweet tea.
