He didn't like the move I made, but there are forum-acceptable ways to say it; this constitutes a flame in game chat, which according to forum guidelines, is unacceptable. Perhaps an hour later he rethought the remark, after someone else explained the move so he found it more reasonable, if still unwise; but I believe an official warning is warranted to curb this sort of behavior outside of flame wars on the site.

"outside of flame wars" refers to the rest of the forums, not game chat. Add him to your foe list and you'll never see his naughty words again.

What happened to you being in Imperial Dragoons? Surely this does not have anything to do with that does it? Sour Grapes?

I was asked to leave Dragoons because I wouldn't privately "suck up" being cursed at and flamed.

Not according to forum rules.

"What is not allowed is any form of bigotry or other flames as outlined in the Forum Guidelines. Please report any such comments that you find offensive."

"Retard" invokes people with mental disabilities, usually referring to Downs Syndrome. It is an historical bigotry, and thus, consititutes a flame which I find offensive.

I bolded the important bits for you. I doubt your vendetta will accomplish anything, as it was in game chat, not the forums. I've already told you what the official answer will be. Foe him and get on with your life.

Breathe....chalk it up to him being an ass - swear back at him (it will make you feel better!)... and let go.

Or just tell him to get off your nuts.

Because that would be awesome.

Here's a quote from a recently closed report.

That's the ConquerClub stance on everything.

"Don't like what's said? Ignore it and that makes everything better. Hell, we ignored Hitler, and we won in the end.. So it all works out, right?"

Enlightening as ever. Is that tournament done yet?

by **Kotaro** on Sun Mar 08, 2009 12:03 pm

Working on it. Disqualified 3 this morning.

Oh, right, forgot one thing. While they ignore most everything, racism is actually something they'll get off their fat-asses and warn against.

Thanks Timminz.

I'm locking this thread because I'm sure it will just go to flames.
