Actually, that's trying a technical solution for a social problem.

People who intentionally use OOC messaging in order to hide information from potential disclosure through torture are the kind of people that are not playing a game with friends, they are playing to win and they don't belong into the game. The solution is not to include OOC messages in torture reports, the solution is to kick people out of the game who are playing abusive.

Right—because we always have perfect reporting of people doing bad things in order to help their realm win.

It's a nice theory, Tom, and I do not in any way oppose making it clear that sending IC information OOC for the purpose of avoiding torture is a serious offence, but I also don't see any reason not to implement the technical solution.

The problem is, you can say this about nearly any potentially exploitable part of the game, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't ever close exploitable loopholes.
