Report them.

If phishing or blackmail is obvious enough that a mod can see it in a report, they go directly to permaban. Do not pass Lagoon Beach. Do not collect even $1 from Flappy Petnis. Why give anyone a second chance at stalking?

Serial gropers/dick pic flashers are a different story. A reported dick pic out of the blue will draw a warning because ew. One "*grabs ur ass*" PM out of nowhere could go either way. But more firm action needs to be taken if  a mod sees a second or third report in a row on the same person. That's when at least a warning and most likely a trip to the island's jail for an hour  would be appropriate. And keep in mind that declined reports are not deleted, so even if a mod doesn't act on it then, it'll be considered the start of a pattern in the next report. People who don't take to the warnings get banned, sometimes permanently if they're too dense.

There was an admin on a MUD I used to visit (for those under 30, MUDs are like MMOs with just text) who once said something that pretty much sums up my thoughts on this group: "There is a fine line between being an asshole and being a fucking asshole."
