[QUOTE="MechaPilot, post: 6882520, member: 82779"] I missed that earlier, and I almost missed your reminder of that link as well. When you took my forum name out of the quote, I didn't get notified that I had been quoted, and with some of the horrible posts that have popped up in both of the harassment threads I've only been giving some of the posts a cursory skimming. I am glad to see some examples of the gaming community policing itself effectively, so thank you for the link. I will say that I do disagree a little bit with the article you linked to in that I don't think having anti-harassment policies and promoting awareness of the problem is a bad thing. I also do think that more needs to be done, especially in the arena of having enough camera coverage to catch evidence of gropings and other sexual assault and battery actions that are notoriously difficult to successfully take to the authorities without video evidence. The groping issue is unlikely to seriously affect me, because no one is ever going to see me and think "She's so hot, I wanna get a handful of that." However, cosplayers and other gamers could certainly use the backup if they ever need to file a sexual assault/battery complaint. [/QUOTE]
