HUMAN SEARCH ENGINES??

Human search engines, the idea actually scares me and i have seen it being done before when i played World of Warcraft. It was not exactly like the example in China in class but it happened virtually.

http://www.gamesradar.com/the-wow-funeral-raid-four-years-later/ this link talks about what happened and is reminiscing about this incident which happened back in 2006.

This is the video : Serenity Now bombs a World of Warcraft funeral

So serenity is actually a guild ( group/team who got together to play the game)

I knew about them because of well the Human Search Engine within World of Warcraft. I now it is not exactly the same but i feel it is quite similar. The only difference is that the example we saw of the Human search engine happened in China. Whereas in this example the Human search engine happened in the land of Azeroth and the Eastern Kingdoms.

In this land of Azeroth what happened was this Guild (Serenity) did something heinous thing by killing a people whom were giving respects to a world of warcraft player who passed away. The community of World of Warcraft talked about it and what they did became viral (there was the video as well) people got to know whom they were and some even hated them. However most members of Serenity actually were happy for being notorious for what they did.

However there were also people who found them to be really despicable people. Nevertheless this incident happened in the game and when the "Human Search Engine" came into it only found out whom they were as in game characters rather than actual people.

Which makes me wonder......do humans tend to be more forgiving if you did it online or is it because the individual had a mask to cover what they did? In the end i suppose its about concealing your true identity if you were about to do something ridiculous and not be caught by the Human Search Engines.

I suppose the people who did what they did in the world of warcraft did not have their "real identity" on their characters. Maybe that's why they actually dared to do such an act anyways.

I guess people have evil tendencies and would explore them if given the chance
