RE: Monitoring. Of course I'm aware of the monitoring aspect, I simply said I disagree with it. If some fool wants to try to monitor my private channels, I'll simply take my conversations to be guarded by the plethora of AIM encryption plugins.
RE: Profanity. That has got to be the silliest reasoning I've ever heard. Rules against profanity are there to stop players who would take offense from being offended. These people are voluntarily communicating, so it is trivial for them to cease such communications and thus stop being offended.
Ugh. Speak for yourself. I could die a happy administrator if my players were enterprising enough to create programs to overcome the communication failings of my game.
Why so militant? So you squelch your players from communicating in game, and they take it to IM. Question: What did you gain? Answer: Absolutely nothing. Sounds like a control-freak to me.
