http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/85583-Funcom-Employee-Fired-for-Cybersex-in-Conan
A bit of online, in-game sex has resulted in the rapid unemployment of one Funcom employee.
An unnamed Game Master for Funcom's Age of Conan has been caught by an in-game passerby having internet nookie with another player.
After player who claimed to be a real-life female summoned a male Game Master, they traveled to a remote location in the world and began to describe innuendo-laden sexual acts.

*chortles* In City of Heroes, the GMs tend to look like the police drones.
I imagine you'd have to really have a thing for hardware for one of them to look all sexxors. _____________________

LOL the transcript makes it even funnier, whether he was serious or not, he acted unprofessionally, what is unusual is the avatar he thought was run by a female player wasn't even female, so the stripping of clothes was just weird. _____________________

From the article:
We have clear guidelines for all employees in Funcom, not least those who work with customer service, and if the guidelines are broken there are consequences," stated Funcom representative Erling Ellingsen. That's why this never happens with LL employees. The Tao doesn't include clear guidelines and consequences. Lindens are to be revered, not lowly creatures who "work in customer service." |

Lol, I guess it's possibly a matter of how far would you go with a GM to get an AdFarm removed I guess while I find such things happening in MMO's as unprofessional conduct, I also find them funny and not warranting a loss of employment, just a warning should surfice and if the customerbase is upset just give the GM a new name Then again to be a GM doesn't require the same skills as to be a Linden so unless they are outstanding, they are easily replaced, there's a lot more to being a Linden on call. _____________________
