Just to be clear, I didn't start this to complain about Pie-rats.. To be honest, Space would be kinda boring without them out there and I can even respect some of them in how they conduct themselves while conducting their "Business".
As I was hoping for, the poll shows that there are varied definitions of Space PVP and it seems that no one person's version is exactly the same.
BUT, The definition of harrasment seems to be universal in being "behaviour intended to disturb or upset, and it is characteristically repetitive"
(such as your example of someone in a Quad repeatedly shooting a warp ship just to break thier warp and delay them). One other characteristic of this definition is it is from the "victim's" view, not the perpetrator's..
So, now let me drag a little RL perspective into this..
You are at work and someone repeatedly comes over to you desk daily and makes comments about your fashion choices. You ask them to stay out of it but they just continue on..
To you, this can be considered harrasment. To the co-worker, they may not view it in that way and even think they are helping you. But from a Management perspective, your view on this is more important and the co-worker will probably get the talking to and be told to stop this behavior (or suffer the conciquences). Management's job is to make a conducive environment where they can get the most work out of you and if you are running around upsetting that mix they must step in and solve that issue.
So with us all getting ready for the new Space VU, I thought it may be good to start a discussion where people can express thier views on this subject and hopefully gain some perspective of where "the lines are drawn" on this.
Thank you (oh, and please continue the discussion)..
