big deal, just ./ignore, or flame back :p not like it doesnt happen 150times a day anyway.

only reason i would ever agree on banning someone is if they would remake new chars all the time to continue spamming for some hours, but since /ignore is in the game, and most forums its no big deal :p and if you really dont want to hear the whine its just to stfu and let them get bored .

if u play a bd u can expect abuse

try a class that requires skill.

there is just a time when you think that you'll have to own some idiots who flame you all the time, then BD is a nice class on lower lvl to just kill a few, then log out again and play mincer =) Mincer is a lot harder on Camlann, cause of all the bd's :p

If I get whines, so what, let the kiddies play.....in the end it's just jealousy that they cannot perform with the same strength, who cares. Camlann is kill and get killed, whining won't help there. You can try it, but I surely won't go madhouse cause of some retarded kiddies :p

my son is 6, one day he'll prolly play a computer game, I doubt very much I'll agree with your sentiments on people being too weak when some fecking moron that has the IQ of 0 and the social skills of a donkey and an e-penis size of 9 starts verbally abusing him.

This reminded me of an incident that cracked me up (happened while ago so please forgive the vagueness in places). Small guild group was in Barrows and one of the players was 10 years old. He agroed as group was passing through a room and killed the mob. Guy who was camping the spot lost it and started swearing and being abusive about how that was his mob etc. One of the guild group told him to moderate his language as the kid was only 10 and the kid pipes up "Yeh fuck off you wanker!"

Your right some ppl are morons and im not perfect myself either and i know it and well the ppl who said "you shouldnt do this if your easily offended or dont do that if you have a weak disposition" is right and you know why because you just explained yourself that "The fact is some people will always be morons and dont give a shit who they offend and how they do it"
Nobody is perfect, however too many people think they can hide behind a PC and abuse people, sometimes they can get away with it, however, at least we do have recourse, it may not be perfect but in DAOC we do have recourse.

Its called RightNow, I would be gbsmacked if GOA did nothing when presented with a racism claim, or somebody that was continually pelted with verbal abuse in the game.

/ignore & /filter is fine and I have mentioned that, but unsolicited verbal assaults go beyond the remit of /filter. /filter is there for a reason, that reason is to cut out idle banter it will not stop somebody harrassing you if they wanted to.

It seems that Cyber Assault is alive and well if people have to come into this game with fireproof overalls each time they play.

If I call somebody a "fucking wanker" in game, I'm calling them a "fucking wanker" in real life. There is no seperation because this happens to take place on the net, does it make it less real because its carried on electrons over the net?

DOAC gives people a degree of escapism, however, its still played by Humans (mostly), I am the first to admit that its an escape from reality for me (For a large part) I still dont run around like a spoiled 16 year old abusing people.

Just because people play a game they dont have to turn off thier brain.

who cares, its a fucking computer game for christs sake - there is /ignore for a reason AND i always reserve the right to call someone whatever the hell i want if i think that they are acting like it in game.

oh and you'll find that most of the swearing in an online game is done by 8->12 year olds, because they generally can't do it in their home so they do it at school and anywhere else they cant get found out by parents : eg: computer game.

The cold hard fact is your son is going to know words that you know and even more words that you never knew by the time he's 10.

Do you exercise that right in real life to a six foot bruiser with fists like hams who is likely to take your head off?

Ah sry didn't realise would need to put my point across using small words.

If you don't have the guts to call someone something in real life you shouldn't call them it in game. As being offensive to someone in game will not hurt them any less than if you said it to their face. Only difference is that person being offensive is hiding behind their computer doing it.

sure i have the guts to call someone something in RL, same as ingame, except mainly if i know u in rl it would take a lot more to get me angry because i dont wanna hurt someones feelings etc that i know - but in game i dont care, if i dont know u and ur being a total twat then im gonna tell u.

Well I doubt very much that your'e in the majority there, I suspect that most people in real life faced with someone much larger than them, that they don't know, who is doing something dumb isn't going to start mouthing off at them. And if they'd only do it against someone smaller than them then they're a coward.

Also most of the abuse that I've seen in game isn't cos someone's being a total twat, its cos they've made a genuine mistake which resulted in a whipout etc and the person telling them their a total twat just can't handle the fact that they've died, like they've never made a mistake and their shit doesn't stink.

P.S Like to add that when say "you" its not referring to you personally.

Its played by humans mostly, although you appear to be an exception.

So, by your incredibly warped logic:

Football is only a game so abuse is okay.
IRC is just real time electronic Bulletin board who gives a shit.
This forum is simply ether who cares.

Ummm, let me see, you try smacking a guy in the mouth in footy, you try to exercising your right as a not a real person in irc to seduce a 5 year old, you try telling the owner of these forums that your gonna kill his dog and slice it into 50 pieces (Assuming he has one) and lets see how you get on.

Hey, its not real, its not as if we know who you are is it...so what the hell just do it..

Oh I know Its people that play footy, its people that use IRC, its people that run and own these forums....

Guess what, its real life...as silly as it may sound..
