Re: Managing PK
I doubt it was. However the post you're replying to is more than a decade old, and the mud shut down years ago, so it's difficult to say for sure.
Put simply: No. If you (as a player) don't want OOC channels, turn them off. If players want OOC channels you can't stop them, they can always use external applications (such as Skype) - all you're doing is raising the entry barrier for new players, reducing the influx of fresh blood that your game needs to survive and prosper.
Personally I favour minimal penalties, and no roleplaying to detract from the action.
