It's the rare shop indeed that internal security projects are high priority - are there *any* shops where "track down user XYZ and smack them upside the head *again*" isn't the most pressing issue, with "Find a way to muzzle XYZ so they can't click on it *again*" is number 2? (I suspect the two categories of shops are "Yes, *again*", and "Usage of live ammo is a realistic option"... ;) Attachment:
