To add to that: If you encounter toxicity or anything else which violates the Terms of Use of the multiplayer lobby, please notify one of the lobby moderators about it, so they can take action. That's best done by sending them a private message including details about the incident (screenshot, replays, ...) here in the forums. We can only act, if we are aware of such incidents.

All right, enough is enough. After I had to remove a few responses, I'm locking this thread now.

The best way to report abusive behavior is to send a private message including screenshots and other details to one of the lobby moderators here in the forums. That's much more effective than pinging people or complaining in public posts. And if you ping moderators in the lobby please include what's the issue. You can't expect people to be looking at the lobby at that moment, neither can you you expect people know why you're pinging them when you just write their username.

I mean, we all know that there is only one country with proper bread.

yes

The symptoms are the same as here: Even though I went back and forth with the user there in private messages, we weren't able to figure out the cause. At least we managed to narrow it down to the specific PC, so something is somehow wrong with the Windows installation. It'd be interesting here as well to get answers to the questions I posted here:

You can be glad you don't see the amount of spam they're trying to post.

The account "tata12" is not registered. So if you tried to log in with that user account, that's probably the reason why it's not working, even though you should get a different error message in that case.

Ok, this is a different problem then.

As per the Terms of Use of the multiplayer lobby registering multiple accounts is prohibited. Please contact me via private message so we can sort out which of these two accounts to delete again.

That's definitely interesting and the first time somebody reported this problem. Can you please send me a private message with the lobby username of your friend so I can have a look if we got something in the logs for these connection attempts?
