Re: Does virtual reality need a sheriff?

Hmm. These are just games.

If rape is possible in the game, the programmers made it so.

But really, any activity that can happen in the video game is not criminal. It might be a good idea to employ a virtual sherriff by way of an admin or something.

At the most, the only real-world action that might be taken is putting someone who does the act on some kind of watchlist. Just like Dateline Predators....it's not a crime to say anything you want in an internet chatroom, but it should be flagged just in case someone intends to follow through with their online fantasies in the real world.
