An avatar for spotting dangerous personalities. This idea is for a set of computerized avatars to be sent into some of the more violent online games in search of gamers who fit the profile of someone who might lose track of the distinction between the game world and the real world and go out on a shooting spree like some young people have done recently. When one of these personalities was found they'd be flagged in the real world for a hands-off analysis. An avatar under the control of an actual psychiatrist might also be sent to meet with that person in the game to perhaps do a little subtle counselling. Spotting one or two of these people in the game world might save a few lives in the real world.

The kids who did the shooting at schools WERE diagnosed by psychiatrists and were taking psycotropic drugs. Psychiatry is a made-up medical profession. There is NO science behind it. The drugs warp their mental capabilities, make them unable to distinguish between fantasy and reality. Parents should be responsible for teaching their children what reality is and how to cope. Take the damn computer away if they can't handle it!
Well, if there's a bias against psychiatry we could always have scientology avatars roaming the gaming world to 'clear' the gamers with dangerous thought patterns.
