I don't think the rule about real-life folk playing together needs to be thrown out or even changed. It's not "outdated"; it's perfectly valid, ESPECIALLY when no out-of-thread communication is allowed. Obviously the honor system can work for it still, so I'm not saying it can't work. I've even played in games alongside people I know in real life. However, the rule should stand and each host should be responsible for making the choice of whether they want to allow it or not.
