Is it to report abuse or get abuse?
I don't expect to be verballed like that in a friendly webgame.....
Annoying Players:
* Sometimes you will find yourself in a game with an annoying player. If you do not like their comments in the chat or their playing style, you can add that player to your foe list. Once on the list, you will no longer have to read their comments, and they will not be able to join future games with you if you joined the game first. To modify your Foe (and Friends) List, check out the Friends and Foe Page.
* If a player's comments do not violate the rules posted below, then do not ask a moderator or administrator to intervene when a player annoys you. This includes curse words and foul language. They are allowed on this site and would be too difficult to moderate every one.
* After you are eliminated or the game ends, you will have the opportunity to rate your opponent. Use the ratings and up to 4 tags to describe your opponent and warn/encourage future participants.
Chats of Games you are not in
* It is typically advised to not post in the chats of games you are not playing. If you do wish to post in another player's game, please keep your comments limited to a Good Luck comment or a quick question. Spamming or trolling other player's games is not allowed.
o Note: When writing a message in a game that you are not playing, the "Note to Self" button does not keep the message private.
Conquer Club takes a fairly liberal approach to what is said in Game Chats, but there are some deeds that should be dealt with by a moderator. If you encounter any of these violations, please open an Abuse Complaint in the Cheating & Abuse Forum.
Spamming/Trolling
* Repeatedly posting the same or nonsense comments in the chat, especially if the person is not playing in the game.
* Posting comments that violate the Spamming and Trolling rules from the Forum Guidelines.
Harassing
* Banter and some trash talking IS allowed in the Game Chats, so don't waste time complaining about that.
* You may not be used to hearing or reading those "four-letter words", but some people do and will use them. This isn't a reason to open a complaint about the player; just kindly ask them to stop or ignore them.
* 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.
