I accidently discovered this phenomenon once when I logged in the
Skotos game 'Castle Marrach'. Apparently over a period of a few
months the Marrach community developed the behavior that examining
someone was considered extremely rude. Obviously unknown to me at
the time, I just walked through the castle examining everybody and
received a rather harsh reception.
