I don't get bonus points for transferring players. I don't LIKE transferring players. It's a waste of my time and theirs. If that's seriously what people think I as an immortal am looking to do, then I can only say that they're wrong. It's not worth my time to change their minds. Haters gonna hate.

Taking away immxp is one of many consequences of breaking the rules. If there are no consequences, then there's no point having rules. Regardless of the new formula for earning edge points and the perceived notion that -immxp ruins a character, I see a lot of the same result:

-negative title? I'm innocent! You ruined my character. I'm deleting.
-IC reprimand via tell/cb/interaction? I'm innocent! You ruined my character. I'm deleting.
-imm xp? I'm innocent! You ruined my character. I'm deleting.
-RotD for a warning? I'm innocent! You ruined my character. I'm deleting.
-RotD, then slay/purge because you think I multi-chared/perma'ed/scouted?. I'm innocent! You ruined my character. I'm deleting.
-negative PBF comment? They were innocent! You ruined someone else's character. I'm deleting.

And... like clockwork, the martyrdom threads go up and the peanut gallery sounds off.

In my experience, it doesn't matter what the reason is. It doesn't matter what the consequence is. A fair number of players are cool when I bring them into the desc room or RotD, but don't tell me I'm being a bastard for enforcing the rules because I may take away some immxp. The nature of the consequence is irrelevant. I'm going to be considered a bastard no matter WHAT I do when being an administrator.
