Did you pick up a knife, or anything that could be used as a weapon? Or any piece of armor? Or perhaps a bag with a lot of food in it? Some of the groups are fanatical about that kind of thing. I've heard several anecdotal stories of griefers and trolls. Add that to permadeath for characters, and you have a very touchy community, with little tolerance for anything that even resembles something that they imagine that a possible troll may think about doing.
(Like, say, you go on IRC and complain about how even though you're 1-yr old character is active, he's being ignored and is about to die of starvation (<24 hours til he's dead, no one feeding him, the community doesn't believe in leaving food laying around because of some troll a million years ago who stole it all), and make some joke about your character is going to end up becoming an anti-social axe murderer due to parental neglect. Then the next day you find out someone has gone on Facebook and slagged you, and then tells you that you're a jerk for for being rude to your character's parents, that your character was never that close to starving (because it didn't happen while his character was there, so you must be lying), and that you're lucky someone didn't see that axe murderer joke and go IG and kill your character because of some OOC joke you told in an IRC channel.
