Exactly. The reasons are easy to find, but you're still circumventing IC reason when you make these rules. These rules are OOC as you've willingly admitted, and they're still a copout for poorly designed games.
If throwing someone in IC jail isn't enough of a deterrant, then you do some IC torture, IC maiming, and perhaps IC killing of their character. Asking someone to leave just shows that the IC consequences for these actions are ill-thought out. A twink is not going to be much of a twink anymore if his arm gets cut off for violating his hunter's license.
Now look who's tearing down straw men: If your punishments are not enough of a deterrant, increase them. I think not being thrown in jail for a rampage doesn't make sense. Where do you play, CriminalMUD?
Going on NPC rampages is not an OOC action, as it's very well-supported by the game code and worldview. Just look at reyth's example of the leet armsmaster that performs all of these actions completely IC.
