Without an "in-character" and "out-of-character" forum, I assume the forums are part of the game. Even if they weren't, I find it impossible for people to separate them unless I hid the in-game names from the forum.

If someone gets another player mad in the forums it's going to reflect in the game, whether we make a rule about it or not. It's just human nature. Making a rule that prevents things said in the forum from affecting in-game play would be unenforceable.
