People with tawdry names might be amusing to some. Obviously it's amusing to at least one person. My reports haven't been centered on people with naughty names, but rather, people making threats, sending patently obscene messages, refusing to stop when asked, making alts to circumvent blocks, harassing and stalking other members and so forth. In these matters, unfortunately, the servers themselves must act as their own police force and use a combination of peer pressure, blocking and ostracizing to get the offenders to go away.
I think it will be interesting when Tynon is brought to court as an accomplice to cyber bullying since many US states as well as other countries now have laws in place to try and deal with it. It is obviously critical for online companies to protect the privacy of their patrons. It is becoming more and more necessary to put things in place to protect online participants from harassment. Tynon has never indicated that they will take any steps themselves other than to "protect privacy" and I'm sure they have some sort of language in the terms of use that attempts to keep them free from responsibility if anything does happen. However, they would be naive to think that such terms are indisputable. Remember, there are lawyers out there who got every company in America who serves coffee to put 'It's HOT!' on the cup.
