If you had ever been through something like this or someone you loved 
had been you would see what an ass you are.  It is completely and 
utterly wrong.  My girlfriend has been raped recently.  If she saw any 
form of it she'd probably cry uncontrollably for at least a day.  It is 
not something that adds to the game and it's more likely that someone 
will leave because it was RPed then not being allow to RP it (if someone 
leaves because of not being able to RP it then chances are they're sick 
and I don't want them in the game, for whatever that means anyway).  If 
someone can tell me one thing that it adds to the game then I'll change 
my mind, until then it should be completely and utterly disallowed and 
like he said, a bolt is too light of a punishment for someone doing it.
