Being locked in a cage is just as annoying as being shot.
Part of the appeal of the Oddworld dream is the shooting (It's miles better than any shooting I've seen on any other dreams) so turning it off unless the admin wants it on would be a great disappointment.

It's relatively easy to get out of a cage if you turn into an Elum and jump out. Cumbersome, but not impossible. And then you're not likely to get trapped again, because let's face it the only way to get locked in a cage unvoluntarily is to get tricked. And since it mostly happens during a game that's explicitly Hey Let's Free These Guys From This Cage (when shooting would be appropriate anyway), it's not a hindrance to having a conversation.
It is a hindrance when you sit about for a couple of hours waiting for someone to chat to only to get shot by some belligerent maniac. Yeah shooting's fun, but when it takes a shit on the social aspect of the game you need to reprioritize.
