I don't even mean killing or trying to 'force' damage. You can't even start the beginnings of a fight with someone IC without a bunch of permission anymore in most cases. Everyone is all for spontaneous roleplay if they get to talk shit, or do cute slice of life stuff, but if someone wants to put a fist in their mouth for running it, then it's godmodding or doing something without permission and it's a cardinal sin. It's the same overall idea as being an internet tough guy. They run their mouth because they know it's very unlikely they'll face real consequences behind the keys.
I kind of feel this is the case with a lot of RPers. They do a lot of stuff thinking there won't be any consequences. I'm personally of the mind that IC actions = IC consequences, and that's something we try to enforce in our FC and that I try to keep around. If someone continues to cause problems IC in the company, they'll eventually be removed--IC. If someone keeps picking at Val, he's eventually going to hit them because that's what he does, and if they get mad about it then I don't really much care. They shouldn't have put themselves in that position in the first place.
Though I will say I try to deviate/stay away from people that aren't willing to roll with the consequences of their character's actions. It annoys me to find someone that is willing to be a prick/cause problems/whatever but doesn't want anything bad to happen to their character in return.
