I need some advice... worst game of my life

[AmericanDream7]

This user cursed me, tried to harass me on social media outside of the game, and wasted 55 minutes on pause on purpose...

I am really sorry you had to experience this. There is a very high in increase in alt fake accounts these days and this this type of behaviors. Good that you recorded the Convo and posted here for awareness. Whenever you face this type of situation, record or SS these then DM @Dunedan here in forum. He is the moderator who looks into these. And I see you spent lots of time with him, my personal suggestion is when you get into this situation, use in game settings like MUTE - it will mute that user for you so no matter what they says you won't see and BAN - this will ban them from the games you host or KICK - to kick that user from your game.

How to use - type in chat box "/ban <userName>" 

Or /mute, /kick

 

Also for the 0ad community, specially who been playing regularly and seeing this alt fake accounts behavior everyday, what do you guys think we should do on this matter? How do we keep the community respectful. Gaming heated argument or nub remarks, trash talks are part of online game I think and should be forgotten, not taken seriously. BUT harrassment should not be tolerated. This is my personal opinion.

@AmericanDream7, @Akentas, sorry you guys had to face this. Indeed you should not hesitate to mute and ban from your games, players that seemingly just want to harm. In most cases they, themselves believe you did something wrong and their answer is to be toxic, which is obviously them not being reasonable.

For my take on this, I certainly don't want to push toward having more policing, but we should work toward having more efficient tools to blacklist-whitlist players. (See this opened ticked)
