[quote="CLUE"][quote="SLAYER"][quote="CLUE"][quote="HOGAN"]What is it about this game that makes grown men so aggy.... Its a game... [/quote] Always think the same when I see people crying about what was said Ingame, it's a game where a pixel said something you don't like, boohoo we've all faced harder things in life why get worked up over some shit bag. People hardly bat an eyelid these days when a 9 year old stumbles across a beheading video on Facebook... Why are 30+ year olds crying because someone said something insulting. Hope you do stick around tho OG linny <3[/quote] I agree with you, but if there isn't any sort of regulation in terms of abuse or harassment, then where is the line drawn and how toxic does the server become for current/future players? it may well just snowball... [/quote] Suppose an ignore player chat function would be nice to keep the care bears hush-hush but other than that nothing else is needed. Once people start getting banned etc Your killing an already dead game even more... Doubt there's anyone that plays Soma that hasn't insulted someone at one time or another ingame[/quote]

[quote="TYRESE"]Buffy you’re the most vile and toxic player I’ve met on this game so far, that’s some achievement considering we had alakazam play too! My personal experience with you started because I randomly pkd you and you lost you’re shit. Pming me abuse, global abuse etc. This has lasted for well over a year where you will still shout ingame about me when I’m not even online. I’ve blocked all your store chars over time because like fringe you talk so much shit it’s boring. I could be just as bad as you and call you all the names under the sun but I think deep down you know exactly what you’re doing. You’re arrogance and demena when talking to other players is completely disgusting and if you seriously think you’ve been the victim and “one of the least abusive players” we need to use some of the donation fund to send you for some therapy because you’ve got a screw loose. Take a step back realise how out of order you are with pretty much every single post on the forum and grow up.[/quote]

[quote="DIOS"]My experience with Buffy was similar to everyone else’s, very bitter, abusive and strangely haunted me for the next hours after, Buffy had shouted she was selling something, I had pm her with my offer, a offer that I thought was reasonable but Buffy didn’t.. and as I didn’t reach buffys expectations he hurled abuse at me constantly in pm world shout and stood next to me following me about. The guy has something wrong with him, we shouldn’t take the piss but at the same time he should be old enough to understand..[/quote]

[quote="SUBXERO"]Maybe if we all go outside more and get a bit more exercise less things like this would happen....[/quote]

[quote="TYRESE"]I think the rivalry that the majority of DL and VK have together is fine, there’s the odd time things are said which are close to the bone but 99% it’s fine. The behaviour shown by a fully grown man with kids older than I am is the worry. I also agree with Dios, he does need help, but that doesn’t excuse the fact he needs to be shown some form of punishment for his actions over the last 18months. The amount of times he’s threatened to get me banned for playing within the rules of the game are countless. It’s daft![/quote]

[quote="FOXTRCK"]Isylver, ignore the responses in this thread beyond what you have already said. Lin, don’t quit ^^. Someone said the word bullying in this thread - well if I’ve ever seen a thread illustrating what victimisation is - it’s here. Minge, Dios, and even Tyrese, your part of the problem here. An mmo is meant to be for everyone - not just people that want banter and bollocks and that’s why a community moderator should exist or people that want to be left alone - can be.[/quote]

[quote="CARNAGE"]If one person claims something there's a chance that person maybe wrong, but multiple people saying the same thing they can't all be wrong can they. Just saying. [/quote]

[quote="TYRESE"]I’m not bullying Buffy at all fox, I’m calling him out for his behaviour to numerous people he’s insulted / abused ingame. He’s been like this for 18months. He’s never had any punishment for his actions and it’s avouttime it was highlighted properly. He’s come into this thread claiming to be innocent and taken a stance of its not my fault etc. Rather than hold his hands up and say, okay I was wrong sorry Linnyi let’s move on. This isn’t victimisation this is trying to prove not only to himself he needs to change the way he interacts with people across the board but also for Isylver to realise people are fed up of this person and unless it changes more people will eventually leave because of him.[/quote]

[/quote] Well by that definition we must certainly live on a flat Earth and Jesus did in fact die for our sins. Amen.[/quote]

[quote="TYRESE"]Prime example btw is Alakazam, he was banned for abusive behaviour and the game is far better for it, I’m not saying ban Buffy perma but something needs to happen![/quote]

[quote="FOXTRCK"]I’m not saying that he is Snow White. And I’m not saying his reactions are perfect nor not warranting further reaction Tyrese and he could stop it but more importantly so could you 👍 Other wise it turns into village witch hunt and he leaves and we’re not just one player down but one crafter down - when people could just talk...[/quote]

[quote="JACKELPUP"]As is so often the case, the bigger picture is ignored and fingers are pointed (always away from ourselves). I have not witnessed the “goings on” and am not in a position to point fingers. But I can say this …. Regardless of whether the alleged guilty parties are (or are not) guilty of “abuse”, it is perfectly evident that Linny not only believes they are, but has left the game because of it (I know about the other issues before another finger gets pointed). It would be a very honourable and decent gesture of goodwill if the (various) people who are alleged to be at fault were to approach Linny and apologise for any element of abuse that she believes has contributed to her decision to leave. (Example) “I am really sorry you have decided to leave the game. I really hope you have not done so because of anything that may have happened between us, certainly I would not want that. Please be assured that I have never intended any abuse and I most definitely do not want to see you leave the game and I am sorry if anything has come across in that manner. I hope you reconsider and come back because you are valued by everyone in the community”. Alternatively, if that is too difficult, you could try this; “Sorry I have been a dick”. Personally, I enjoy banter with Linny. I see her helping other folk on a very regular basis (often to the detriment of levelling her own character). I enjoy being part of Mistress Guild and the fun times that we have. Much more importantly, I see the “fun” that Linny has and I can only guess at how valuable this is to her as a release from her real life challenges (same for us all?). I would please ask that those people who might be on the wrong side of this (whether they think they are or not) to make peace. No one (in this thread or anywhere else) has stated that they want Linny to leave – that says it all. 8) Jac/Prowler [/quote]
