Except that most of the recruiting processes personally don't go by browsing to see who is and is not in the game. They go by word of mouth to friends on plurk or whatnot. This complaint might hold legit water were it not for the players themselves requesting the change, and the fact that everyone IN the game has been civil and decent with one another, save one moment of wank where one player couldn't not ship push or even keep her story straight on how 'awfully she was wronged' by players & mods.

I'm also positive I read a No Stormy policy in the rules or faq so I'm pretty sure mods are keeping a close eye on misbehavior.

At the end of this, you're complaining about the possibility of maybe being forced to PM a player or two whom you don't want to deal with should you get in the game/are in the game and stating "hey, please don't tag me". Which is actually against the spirit of being an adult and clear about what you do/do not want to play with or play out.

Which I could kind of sympathize, but by and large that is your own personal responsibility. They have to protect their actual players, first.
