Topic: [HELP] Inappropriate Players

I was playing today and I ran into a couple of odd players. It was almost harassment, because they were using sexual terms and talking about having "cyber" sex, even trying to get me to do it too. I do not want younger children, such as my little brother, to see this kind of behavior. I warn all players that if they see a player with the tag [M.F.G], they should leave.

~~I do not know if this is the right spot for this thread~~

no but yeah

Re: [HELP] Inappropriate Players

This is related to the internet, not to the game. Althrought I understand you, I dont't think anything can be done. Except own the cybergays so much that they leave.

We will meet again when the flowers spread their glorious scent of victory and the birds sing us the melody of justice...

Re: [HELP] Inappropriate Players

Although a very serious problem this is something that's up to the responsibility of the server owners. Chat isn't monitored so there's nothing that can be done about these players on behave of the Teeworlds team. If you (or anyone else) encounter such players the best approach is to leave that specific server and inform the people who host it about this kind of abuse. They can then take necessary actions. Try to invite other players to leave as well ("why not  go to that other server?") so there will quickly be no more fun for these players. There only intention is to get attention, so when they don't get this they'll quickly give up and try something else. The worst approach to this problem would be to react to their talk or trying to argue with them. Ignoring gives the best results in 9 out of 10 times.

Another good thing which server hosters can do is to report those players in this topic. That way other server owners can take actions based on your reports of the problem.
