Quote from: Technomancer;975680How do you prefer to deal with it when one or more of your players has a problem with another?  Do you hash it out as a group?  Do you want them to discuss it privately and handle it between themselves if possible? Or do you prefer that everything go through you, as GM, and you act as mediator in any disputes, even if they could have conceivably handled it themselves?

Depends on how severe the problem is and how deeply are they invested in the problem. Most adults respond to Gronan's well said "Cut that shit out." If it persists beyond that, just eject the unruly player of your choice. I am also not adverse to PvP in game because I expect the Players to handle their own shit and killing off the character of a jackass removes them from the game.

I am there to play the game or act as GM, not engage in Human Resources style conflict resolution. This is my fun, not my job.

Handle it, quickly. Don't let it fester and get progressively worse.

It really depends a lot on the situation: are the players engaged in a temporary conflict due to some specific incident? Or do they have a long-term dislike for each other that fundamentally comes down to a serious clash of personalities? Is the problem due to something that happened at the gaming table, or something outside the gaming group? Does it involve the other players/GM or is it something that is a problem between just the two of them?

There are some cases where sitting them both down together (sometimes, depending on some of the above circumstances, with the whole group present, or other times just them) and having them hash it out until some sort of resolution is reached.  But there are also many times when it is fairly quickly evident to me that the player feud is going to be pretty well impossible to resolve, and one or both players will need to leave the group.

My response is: "I'm not your Mum, I'm not your social worker, I'm not your referee either, stop wasting my limited gaming time and sort your shit out somewhere else!"

One or both will not be invited again.

I think a quick reminder of, "Hey. We're all adults here. Work that crap out or find your way out of the game."
Second chances are good. There are no third chances.

Well, if you're playing Traveller you will be their referee.

Tell them to sort their shit out outside of game time. If they won't or can't then invite them not to participate further.
