The last telephone marketer to call my house got this reponse:
*phone rings - the number pops up on my caller id as unknown, so I roll my eyes*
Hello, who is this?
My name is XXXX with YYYY and I'd like...
How did you get this number?
What?
This is a classified number registered to the NSA. I need to speak to your supervisor immediately. You will also need to remain at your present location until agents arrive to question you.

It isn't our job to dictate to people how to maintain a base standard of human decency toward one another, and we're not going to do so. ... Cut and dried, that's all we have to say on the matter. No, it kind of is your job to do this.
No, it kind of isn't. Because as Falcon said, the second they start giving concrete examples, the real douch bags of the game community will start seeing just how close to that line they can get. It's in the nature of a douche bag to push and test limits, even ones as simply ridiculous as these.
It's better that CCP leave themselves the flexibility in their position they have now so they can escort the undesireables to the door with alacrity.

Some of us enjoy harming other players with a passion, and the boundaries between character and person are bound to be crossed without clear guidelines on what isn't allowed. If you think you might have crossed a line, you probably did. Clear lines would only be abused and make a mess for the GMs. With a grey area, they can better decide on a case by case basis without internet lawyers going "technically" on them. What if I don't even have any reason to think it crossed the line? Maybe I'm just bumping some miners and suddenly one of them thinks I'm harassing them in particular? CCP apparently gets to decide what harassment is, with no clear precedence of what harassment is within EVEs context.
Funny how that works, it being their game and all.
