    As I feared, this person has retaliated. I said something 'questionable', and I think they've had all their friends report me to get me silenced for 72 hours.

    Wait. The Report Spam function now goes beyond 24 hours?

    What. The. F#$%.

    There is irony in a thread about harassment a guy is getting harassed for not being to good at English.

    You are not good at English yourself, but that other guy is not even trying it seems :tongue:

    Thats why I said. As some might remember when I first started posting here I was WORSE than that guy. I improved . The fact that we can get the jist of it shows he is trying.

    You should have been mocking him for being a perv that made naked toons , cause thats what he is ._.

    PS see that guy ginger above you. Thats my half brother from the UK blame him for my bad English he taught me.

    Yeah, like I said- it's more or less some kind of retaliation for either recently reporting someone, unless it's simple drama. Either way, it's retaliation, and it's a bit petty.

    I have an alternate account I can play around on and communicate with people. It's just, I dunno- if what I said ruffled feathers, I'd understand. But since it was on the list of the mildest things, I'm almost certain it was a retaliatory thing. Fair is fair, but bleh.

    If it wasn't one person, then it was another. This is the kind of thing that makes me question social experiences in online gaming.

    So, basically the guy from the SG incident isn't to blame. I'm pretty certain now that it is the person I had to report recently- as in, the date of this thread- or one of their cohorts.

    I can't really call it 'abusing the system', really. I mean, if what I said was legitimately offensive, so be it and I'll take it and adjust my shot group and lane of fire.

    But, maybe perhaps a GM will see that I did say that I expected some form of retaliation from this person and their crew. Either way, it'll be over in a couple of days anyway.

    The problem isn't social experiences in online gaming.

    The problem is really really really REALLY freakin stupid design ideas to control social experiences in online gaming.

    Well, that's just it- they actually took the time to send a ticket. More than one person, and that means I know exactly who and why.

    I had wrongfully suspected someone, but I guess I'm wrong.

    I am pretty certain I got this because I reported them- but if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Oh well, alt account lvl 6 go!

    and Sapphire,Witchcraft, Talisman(with the costume that vanishes one layer at a time while doing the dome mission in desert)

    Lynx is a catgirl, fur sure. tchnically covered. If she dosn't count as covered, they need to remove the tiger, leopard, scales, serpent, lizard and leech skins. Not forgetting our werewolves, bears, gorillas.
    All of which can be worn with no clothes on them.

    Obviously only COMPANY characters are allowed to be indecent, otherwise Defender's script would have to be modified.


    on the other hand, there was the level 40 wiht a belt and shoulder wrap and her Nemesis(in dockside alert) with even less on.

    oh and fought Perfect World executive last week. he went down fast.
    The bit just above the no obscene or nude costumes is the no clones rule.

    The usual, do as we say not do as we do.

    wonder how many MMo's with the Optimists armour, have the same obscene/nudity rules.

    Okay, I just tested something and I want to point out the absurdity. And I want to make this clear, I'm not attacking decisions. Just want feedback here.

    1- The ONE WORD that made what I said obviously profane/vulgar? Is censored out by a profanity filter. So, basically I was reported by someone who wanted to hear profanity- just not mine.

    2- I didn't call anyone names (IC, my character does- OOC, I don't insult people), therefore... this is obviously just someone looking for a reason to report me.

    So, how can I get slammed for profanity in a game that has A PROFANITY FILTER? Seriously- if you don't want to hear naughty words, that's what this tool is there for. I could understand if I attacked someone verbally- I did no such thing at all. This is just...wow.

    Oh well, one more day.

    Honestly, now, I don't know what to do if I'm harassed again. I'm not sure it's worth reporting real offenses.

    Dude. Is this the first time you've found out that 'profanity filter is not a defense for using profane language'?

    If so... well. That.

    Only use profanity with friends who don't mind.

    The existence of a profanity filter isn't a license to say whatever profanity/vulgar words you want without fear of consequence.

    It's like that for practically every online game out there, not just MMOs and certainly not just in CO.

    Problem with the filter is it blocks words that aren't even considered 'bad'.

    Well, that's just it- it was kind of that- but it slipped out of SG chat and into local, someone overheard it- boom. More than one report. As I've said before, it was more than likely someone I reported for harassment- or rather, their friends.

    But I got a response from the GM. Not what I wanted to hear. But, rules is rules, I suppose.

    Which is why I have mine switched off. Not because I "want to hear profanity" but because false positives get thrown in. Words like "grape" that aren't profanity but trigger the filter anyway, or at least used to trigger it.

    Well last night I was just down right ashamed of some of the CO community. A new player was desperate to team in zone he was having troubles with some missions but his English wasn't great and the tirade of hate this caused was unbearable to read. Some really viscous stuff was said to him ._.

    Anyway he pops up in the Dutch channel speaking in Dutch ( obviously ) so I got a chin wagging with the chap. Turned out he was a young lad of 12 and all he wanted was to play at being a super hero after watching the Avengers. He also added he has only been studying English for the last 6 months. Me and a few others helped him out.

    It will be likely those that verbally abused this lad only speak one tongue and havent even attempted to learn another. Least this little guy is expanding his vocabulary .

    Well done CO zone chat you but the fear into a pre teen.

    The best way to handle harassment isn't to make a forum post about it.

    Why do I say that? It's because you only make yourself a bigger target by doing so, especially if it involves wrongful muting. I understand the need to vent, but in such cases it's better to just lay low, not draw unnecessary attention to yourself and let it blow over.

    Dozens of threads have already been made in protest of chat ban ever since its start. Cryptic has chosen to turn a blind eye to our concerns each time.

    Not very surprising.
    CO "community" has some nice and sympathetic people but there is also a huge part of jerks.
    Two days ago, i have been insulted two times in zone by somebody just because i warned
    other players about a potential leecher i had in my team in a smash alert.
    The irony of that is it's not even the leecher who insulted me but one of the three lowbies who were stucked in alert with me and the leecher. I litterally carried him and won the alert, despite the leecher, never complained or said anything to or about the lowbies but he insulted me...
    That guy was obviously an idiot so i decided to not argue with him.
    I usually try to reduce my zone interventions to the minimum, so i just reported him in a ticket for his language and ignored him, just to be sure to never be teamed again with him and offer a sure win to such ungratefull dude.
