Just a quick note: if someone is offensive in GC, a screenshot should be neither necessary nor useful. Falsifying damning evidence of that nature is trivially easy, and the the GMs cannot trust evidence that could have been fabricated by an enemy to that player as a meta-attack. On the other hand, the GMs have chat logs anyway, and can verify without question any allegations.
What you should provide is the exact name of the culprit, the date and time of the incident(s), and a directly quoted excerpt. That would be sufficient to enable them to easily and efficiently find it in their logs.

I am good with the rules. They don't bother me. I know we have rebels out there that like to cause problems and be hateful. The block feature is a god send. I use it a lot and have people that will never be taken off of it for previous actions of this nature. I don't put up with other people's drama anymore in GC. It isn't worth my time. I have a much lower tolerance for GC than I used to thanks to past run ins. It was ruined a long time ago and has gotten worse because the antagonistic nature of some that is now directed at other people on a whim. It isn't all the time, but enough to make me leery of venturing in most days.
Jane, I want to publicly say that what was said to you was way out of line. Do NOT put up with jerks like that in the future. Screen shot the offensive chat, place on a share site, put in a petition and turn them in. I learned the hard way a long time ago that you have to stand up for yourself. You turn it into the Devs they will hand out proper punishment if they see it is of a grievous nature. I have seen them in action 1st hand. They have no tolerance for that sort of thing. I thank them for that.

i will just say im sorry now, i know i said some urban dictionary words that bypass it before
Im sorry, we want a family friendly atmosphere in which to; send our armies and kill various animals, wage war, kill undead, try to stop a beating heart and claim land 
We want a clean environment, so our diplo's may easily find the loot they search for and for the wives that desperate, lonely and possibly suicidal farmer needs 
keep it clean peeps for real, be thankful for the GM's they keep spammers and other  at bay

I have a feeling there will also be a related "I-need-to-cool-down-from-the-LDLAPWC-room" room.

I feel it would help to take the load off the moderators (so there need only be moderators in Global), but then if someone wishes to engage another player in a discussion on politics, religion, or Edward vs. Jacob - then they would have the option to simply create a temp room to have their discussion without censorship and then be done with it.
/me is pro freedom of speech, but is also pro censorship of Global chat where players shouldn't be forced to engage in another player's idiocy (it should be optional). (:P)

Player-created chat rooms (in the upcoming chat system) will do exactly what you describe. Someone can make a private room (the "lets debate loudly about politics while cursing" room, for example), invite whoever they want and it will not be actively moderated by any GMs. Then they can set their own standards of behavior and add/remove players as they see fit. The only participants in the room will be there voluntarily and will, by their presence, agree that "yes, I want to be in the lets debate loudly about politics while cursing room."
Only "official" channels (Global Chat) will be GM moderated, same as is now. And formal complaints about harassment, etc., that happen in player-created rooms would function the same as it would now if someone was sending you harassment via in-game mail.
As I said, no one will be more happy than me when the day comes where I can say "take it to private chat."

I just wish the rules were clearer. Someone I didn't know told me to die the other day and nothing at all happened. Then they said my body should live because it could be "useful" and I should just die in my soul. I haven't been in gc much since and I know other people who avoid it now who didn't used to. I don't really plan to chat there anymore because I'm so generally disturbed.

This is the sort of thing that should get reported to me if I'm not there to see it as it's happening. No one should say something like that to you or anyone, as it is obviously crossing the line.
