fit of bad temper
Yesterday I was playing on a public server when a guy started insulting another one. Of course he did not use /tell but made it readable for all of us. Insults were first about the game (btw I'm not ashamed by the S in the end of my MR tag) and about a specific clan to finally became more personal with a « Hitler young».
It was not the first time I read something like that but dunno why I did not react. I just closed quake in a bad mood. Later i thought to this and I realised how it pissed me up.
I - what a stupid insult!
each country has one or more unglorious chapter in its history, older or younger than Third Reich, related or not to nazis. We lived it or our fathers did, but we try to go on without repeating the same mistakes (too many failures btw ). This is definitly not a specificity of Germans but a childish insult who appears when guys are short with smart arguments.
II – you said « game » ? but game implies joy
I wonder why there is so much agressivity in this community. Bad words, bad behaviors, insults, anger and so on make this place unpleasant. Personaly I don't read forum because every time I read it I see an insulting thread/post/blog or dunno what. Almost all of the times it’s because of old rancor, sometimes more recent but always as stupidly argumented and uninteresting. So, since I don't read it I thought being far from all of these bullshits. Unfortunately it was a dream and problem is in arena too. Atmosphere is just bad.
Is it because we play a fighting game ? I dont know but the fact is even if we don't have any trouble with anne we undergo the old resentments. And I’m fed up with hearing always the same crap.
I’m here to play a game and not to be insulted, see or read someone being insulted, or to insult someone (once I did it not on purpose, thanks to Scarface who did not let it pass). We should not allowed this kind of behavior, because at present, a day without hearing or reading insult, or without wickedness does not exist. What a shame !
Shell, sorry for the late reaction
yeah thats true! too much insults on servers over the last month, also racism, by the same people again and again... just in last few weeks I did a mute all probably 5 times in 7 times I played... (I didn't just mute ID cause shit was flying from all angles so I estimated the number of trashtalkers is bigger than the number of polite players)
did you tell the admins of server who was involved in it so they can ban them? (if you have some screenshots)
or just say hi and then mute all like I do! pm's can come through
There was a thread about this topic lil time ago with the request to simply ban insulters. I would do this with pleasure, but dunno when i get active again, haven't played for 2 months now and still feel no desire to play again,y et.
I agree with Nana... I can say phrases but they don't mean anything, especially to those who are concerned by this...
omg cheater spamer fucking idiot
\callvote mute per 1 map should be avible
about the comparison of every country had their bad phase, ofc every had.
but no country managed to kill people in fabrics like other countries produce cars and stuff. considering cruelty, the nazi's topped it all. have that in mind if u accuse anybody of being a nazi.
btw, who has to much time insulting should get a girlfriend.
And you think crying will make the bad man go away? Wouldn't get your hopes up if i were you.
Newsflash - people are assholes. Especially on the net when they know no one can reach through the screen and twat them one. You deal with it, or you don't. You can ignore them or give them the attention, which is exactly what they're after. And yes, they will use the simplest tools to get the job done (i.e fuck you up and make you bawww), such as offending your country, religion, ethnicity, family, name, nickname, using taboos or just being an annoying little shit and spam nonsense until your brain bleeds gray diarrhea. Sure you can go on a crusade and just ban anyone that gets on your, or your fellow swell gaming mates, nerve, but soon enough the lines will blur and you'll embrace the inner asshole yourself (just look at that Bunny douche). Better to just go your own merry way and don't grant acknowledgment to the loon that spends his time trying to get people angry while playing a niche mod for an old and nearly dead game.
imo we should not just ignore the insults.
there are two ways:
1.if someone insult you you insult back but harder ^^
2.you try to answer smart with psychology (most ppl want just attention because they have a lack of attention,love,etc.)
a better way to aviod insults is to confront that guy on msn or in forum so they have a bad feeling for that what they too.
now some of you will say that this ppl will never feel bad for the insults and maybe thats right but who will be a friend of a insulting asshole? - right, another insulting asshole^^ but no one else.
i do it in my way: i confront the ppl immediately on msn if possible.
just for the record, i had nothing to do with this c:
Hello i have a lot of admin experience in many games and dealt with a lot of stuff. I find if a player starts abuse in anyway give them a warning (public one not \tell) generally this works with me as the severs/websites i admin people know the second step will land them with a ban or punishment (Dependant on type of abuse) this WILL aways happen. do not change your verdict if the player targets you as abuse the sever will be affected more (making it less populated) all abuse should be dealt with in a neutral way based on how far a player goes in attempting to insult you, sever, other players, the game (got ya ) or general trolling.
As a game I've only been playing a few month and i love the game however the amount of abuse i see is more than any other game Ive seen, i cant see how its got so bad but if i could i would change things like revising the way cheaters and abusive players are dealt with because forum posts are ineffective because they are public, it should be possible to submit a report privately to a place where it can be assessed without people saying "OmgOMG HES WALLHACK" because that kind of assessment affected by people bias opinions. If you do get abused, this way by the time the abuser realized hes has been fully assessed/punished he wont be able to do anything about it, in some cases a finial testimonial should be written by the accused and accuser again just to clear up confusion (also done in private). The only public Thing which should happen is adding them to a public ban list.
A submission should be made to a private area in the forum where once submitted the post can only be editing in one hour, no further posts in thread can be posted unless it is by admin or moderator (who ever handles judgment and punishment) these posts will be invisible to the person submitting the first post. All other contact to the affected parties (including witnesses) should be done through private messaging and recorded in the private submission thread by who ever handles judgment and punishment.
Because this is all done in private the accused will not immediately be hated before the punishment is enforced and sometimes after even if the accused is innocent which is unfair.
I would love to this this mod/game improve but developing the game play will only take it so far. We need to develop a nicer community (this would aslo make it a bigger community). gl
madbringer is asshole
