I agree that IRC brings players together and some might think "He is good fella, i could create char to realm he is in!"
But those who use OOC info obtained from IRC or are spreading poopy rumours, would do it anyway. IRC has been there since beginning... i think, atleast as far as i have played... or atleast some realms had their own channels.
So, it is not irc's fault cheesy things happens, it is the people. Same thing as RL guns, it is man behind the gun who causes the damage, not the gun itself.
