Verbal Abuse/ Kamchatka [closed]

[Atilla the Honey]

please Japan Jeff stop sending me pm's, you are offensive, you have used horrendous language, and I have not responded, after you told me how horrific you think of me, sorry I had sympathy for you, wrongly, never hear from me again. Oh! My! did not use offensive language, even though you have been so offensive!

[vtmarik]

Now I think spamming someone with harrassing PMs counts as a rule violation, wouldn't you Wicked?

[Atilla the Honey]

I am no one special, I just want to play by the rules. Maybe being called "a fucking moron, and a fucking Ho, and being told to f*ck off is ok. I can handle this. I know my boundaries, Its ok by me, but I thought it was wrong. I maybe incorrect, I will admit my error, no problem. Dish me, trash me, tell me its not abusive fine with me, I can play with the big boys, let everyone know calling people demeaning names is ok. No penalties, no rules, and the only thing that will happen to you, you will be "ignored" no problem. I am done with this subject, I know I can behave badly and only get ignored, woo, hooo!

Sadly disappointed, but what should I have expected?

If I ever get kicked out by responding to someone calling me horrendous names, Oh, My!

[Incandenza]

Please remember the median age on this site is that of a high-schooler, so keep that in mind when you're expecting people to behave like rational adults.

Are you f*cking kidding me? So 50-ish percent of the people that have beaten me haven't even gotten to second base yet?

Jesus, I feel old. And I'm not even thirty.

listen atilla, i only replied to emails that you sent me. maybe i should of quoted them all so you would understand. now take your medicine and lay down.


you brought this all on your self by sending out the spam mail to people you didn't even know. but harvesting names from the forum and sending them SPAM. what does doing something like that say about you as a person?


call me anything you want, i really don't care. but don't send me spam, that is just out and out rude. i never played you, don't know you from adam, but you send me spam!!!!

now, i'm sure all your fans will be doing the same thing. i'll just let the mailbox fill up and then i won't have to deal with it any more.

One of the most offensive things in this society is the plethora of advertising that we have forced on us. Your mail, your phone, TV, radio, and now your freakin PC. If you have brought this beast to CC you deserve to be abused, and you sure as hell need to be banned from this site.

and bk...she did not bring in advertising

she was trying to launch her own anti-verbal abuse campaign...

and dont forget....there would be no tv or radio without the ads

but with a dvr...you never have to watch them again....at regular speed that is

[silvanthalas]

The ignore button represents a passive form of community policing.

Which is half-assed in its implementation, as it does not ignore forum posts, and it may also not block PM's - I'm not sure on the PM part, but the note for My Ignore List makes it sound like it only applies to games.

It should be applied across the site.

[wicked]

There is a script to ignore forum posts, do a search on the forum or ask Rev Kyle, and I think the updated forum software will allow you to ignore PM's. Any other complaints?

[wcaclimbing]

Do you tell everyone in public who swears that it is wrong?

yes, actually. whenever one of my friends cusses, i call them out on it and tell them to stop.


and could we at least get more words on the list of words that are automatically censored?

such as:

sh*t
a**
f*ck
c*nt
w*ore
b*tch
and many other more offensive words?
i get enough bad language from people in school and i dont want to have to read through tons of crap to get to the more intelligent parts of peoples comments.

First WCA that question was not directed to you. Second when I used the word everybody it was not limited to just friends.

[wcaclimbing]

but what about censoring more words?

[ganguscalm]

For those of you that don't know....Atilla and gangus (me ) are man and wife...I have set out idle for the most part...I wish to thank everyone for there response , positive and negative...it is a hot topic.
I think the poll is a pretty good indication as to what CC members think.
it is nice to know that we have so many good friends !!

Put all the debate aside , this is a community, much like a small town.
there will always a few " village idiots "...but for the most part we all move in our social circles , meet new people , pick our friends and foes..this will never change...

thanks again for the input , way more than we hoped for !!!

[wcaclimbing]

but if this was a medieval villiage or a dictatorship, those "village fools" would probably be killed.

But it isn't, so the point's moot.

[wcaclimbing]

so, could we get more words censored?

ill bet....do let her know we really were on her side....its only the censorship issue that is a tough one....ignoring the villige idiots is just the easiest thing to do....worrying about 14-16 year old boys typing on a site like this is just not worth the energy....you just cant take it personally, because it really isnt personal.....

[ganguscalm]

thank you , AA....well put !

Go f*ck Yourself! It don't have the same kick to it does it?

Freedoms in todays society are so limited that we unjustly call them freedoms.

[nunz]

I'm sorry you had to play against such an unsavory character, there are people like that out there on CC and elsewhere on the internet. Your best option is to leave feedback and move on. If we see a pattern of feedback and complaints against one individual, we'll look into doing something further.

Does that happen? There are a few really obnoxious individuals who abouse people in both chat and feed back but never seem to get called on it.

There is a big difference between being rude and abusive rather than hassling a player as part of the game chat. Bringing someones character into disrepute (old fashioned term for calling them a four letter word) is a far cry from telling them you are going to mow them down and pwn them.

My 2c is that there should be a bit more control over what kind of behaviour is acceptable. If some asks another player to cut out the abuse and bad language then that should be respected. If I choose to be racist, sexist or other forms of abuse then I would probably get called on it. Why not also callpeople on put and out abuse?

The question that some one will raise is , "how do we judge abuse" The answer is simple ... commenting on a persons character or impuning them personally is quite differnt to commenting on what they have done in the game. e.g. Saying 'you're an ****** " is quite different to saying "Your moved really sucked" or "I'm going to pwn you"

[antjo]

once someone got abusive with me, i had to laugh very hard
not because somleone calls me a moron that i am one
i dont mind abusive language, they are just letters on a screen
that cant hurt me, i think its a funny way to show that your unable to conntrol the situation
