I fear you're comparing apples and oranges mate. Voice chat is a completely different beast entirely, it has it's own reasons why people are for it or against it besides RP reasons. It's a flawed argument to use that to try to prove your point here.
Same with your example of robbing people in real life... I don't even mildly see how that's relevant to our discussion here about OORP messages. Those two things aren't even apples and oranges, they're bullets and potato chips, they share no relation to each other at all...
I'm just saying, don't let something as simple and minor as // messages ruin the game for you. You're the only one in this thread who is making such a big deal over some OORP messages in-game, which leads me to believe that not many people view this to be as big of a problem as you're making it out to be.

IF the lags doesn't return again, and again, and again...
To understand a matters background, the sideffects is one thing, but that doesn't automatically mean you also have to approve it.
It's also a question of the respect one feels for other players how he deals with a situation, and interrupting other players game-experience just b/c of fearing to get sanctioned is simply selfish and ignorant - to me.
About the, often lacking, knowledge of the english language I just can say, if a player wants to play here it's simply a MUST to have sufficient knowledge of the servers standard language - if you don't just don't play here.
That may sound hard, but it's a problem I run into every single day I play here and it really annoys me, also that just too many (new) players log on to the server without ever having visited the website, haven't read the rules, have no idea what Discovery represents etc. - and often enough also just don't care at all.
But as I'm usually a kind and helpful person I always try to tell them what they should know, as far as I believe to know better, or at least point them where to read about so that we all can have fun.
About reporting, in most cases, I think, is a respectful made comment via PM much more successful than just reporting them - in particular as Discovery is a pretty complex kind of mod/community that often enough owerwhelms the ones that play here, not just newbies .
These are my thoughts about the matter.

Does one or two short // messages actually ruin your game THAT much? No offense (which means I'm now going to say something a little offensive), but that sounds like more of a personal problem.
Next time, try typing "//np" back, and then carrying on with your interaction.
Sterlin, it has been increased, that's the matter. You didn't see so many unnecessary "//" 's back in 4.85 and even 4.86. in 4.87 it increased so hard EVEN VETERANS do it, people got used to it and use it WAAAAY too often, yes it ruins it that's not a personal problem, because it's beeing done in Local and System chat you newb. I guess there would be no problem if everyone would just "/fm" and "/pm" instead. Since it's beeing done in Local and System chat, which everyone sees it and usualy it takes long until that sentence disappears and you're like "Ah, not again STOP ooRPing!".
It's not about 2 - 3 times, it happens alot and pretty much ruins the Roleplay.

Uwotm8 ? Maybe put on some glasses pls? It's not me that's trying to prove I'm right, it's just that you can't accept that you just talk nonsense and kinda ruin this thread because you got personaly offended.
Better you keep chill and for once look at the situation from different perspectives and not just your own.
NOTE: Just because you think someone is making a big deal out of it, doesn't mean he realy is. I'm trying to solve something here and not just keep my eyes closed letting it through. Now please fly away, with your Charizard, from this thread kthxbye

They shared their opinions, and sure, they have the same basic opinion as you, but they didn't get so dramatic about it like you did. They agree with you, but they didn't get as dramatic and make it such a big deal like you did.

U wot m8? If I recall correctly, in your very first reply to me you had already resulted to name calling and insults, and you're saying -I'M- the one who got personally offended by a small discussion on the internet over something that really doesn't even matter? Lol. Sure mate, whatever you say.

Oh, don't get confused, I can see things from your perspective, I can see that OORP ruins your gaming experience. However, I don't agree with it. I think that's a problem you bring upon yourself for letting something so minor affect you so much. I mean honestly, there's things much more annoying than that out there, if you let something as small as OORP get to you as much as you have let on in this thread, then life is going to be rough for you.

More half-insults, really? Can we not keep this an intelligent discussion between two people?
Come on mate, show that you can maintain a level of maturity instead of defaulting to the standard personal insults like every other person on the internet. Please.
No I don't get even why this person is still arguing with me. Any other thoughts and ideas that is not flaming or trying to act and look like mature and cool? Thanks.

EDIT3: By the way everyone, this was my last post, so you can put the popcorn away. I graciously gave Snake the last word and went on to do something smarter than arguing here, yep, I went to play Saints Row 4, my brain feels better already. :3

This has devolved into what seems like me trying to argue with a person of young age.
Sure, now please let this topic clean for those who're interested and want to discuss it. Understood?

Wow, you're smart now are you. (clap) How about we applaud Sterlin the one who thinks he's the all-knowing ? Sorry but, I'm the one who actually tried to stay on topic, while you just accused me because you think it's all a personal matter. Let me guess, you are one of those which constantly overuse "//", huh? Then why you even bother replying here?
Writing a wall of text trying to proof that you're something better than me isn't realy on topic is it. You can do it on flood, not here pls.
User(s) browsing this thread:
/// Drake ///, SMGSterlin, Snake
And stop browsing this thread please, as you will just flame again, leave it for those who want to discuss this matter.
I'm sure if it would be just 100% personal opinion, the admins would've closed it by now, but actually an admin repeatedly replied with "Keep it on topic". So there are people which are interested in this Topic, it's not me making a big deal out of it. Chill. It's actually just you which fear that suddenly a Rule would come out of this, stopping you from overusing "//".

Right, just want to point this one thing out though. Sterlin if you have something against me simply PM me like most of people doing it. That's what I try to do mostly too, instead of flaming the thread I go PM solve it with the person instead of comparing-dick-size, who's the smarter who's the intelligent who's the mature. 95% of the people which PMed me, or I PMed actually were able to solve it in a rather nice way, how about you take it as an example?
