Do you mean on Bnet because you can make an alt in less then 30 second son this website. If anywhere else then it's not like they would care. It's not like you saying "play nice" is gonna make them think "you know what? this guy is right :D".

So me not noticing any guys harassing any girl online.... ever means that some guys are freaks who just like harassing girls. It's not as much as a problem that you think.
-
Dude it's a problem. The fact that you are trying to downplay it means that you're not willing to accept the problem.
-
You're overhyping the problem. Most people don't even wear mics so there is no way of telling if someone is a girl. Also if a girl is being bothered then she can mute or report the guy. Also before you say it, no you are not helping anyone but saying "no don't do it"[url=http://www.jinx.com/content/prod/2580p_0c_2b.jpg].[/url]

1. Alot of people rock mics. 2. It's a big problem in the gaming community and if you don't believe me ask a chick who player WoW. 3. You shouldn't have to mute people to begin with for saying offensive things. That's like someone calling me a -blam!- online. People shouldn't be calling me that to begin with. 4. Clearly people are liking the thread because there are 400+ comments. Just because you don't agree with me doesn't mean everyone feels the same way you do.

1. No they don't. 2. The girls can just block the guys who mute them. Problem solved. 3. Too bad. You can't stop them. The most you can do is mute and report people. 4. Those are people who agree that people shouldn't do it, I agree too I'm just telling you that you're not helping stop the problem.

Wow if Martin Luther King had your attitude then the south would still be segregated. You're acting that nothing can be changed which is EXTREMELY closed minded. You're "to bad it happens" attitude. People text and drive and kill people. Do you say to bad it happens or do you do something about it. Women have been harassed and -blam!- in the Military, do we just accept it because you can't stop it. What you are failing to understand is that you're wrong here. There is no shame in that, just admit that you're wrong so we can move on.

There is a big difference between a real problem, and an easy to solve problem. The way to solve it is by muting or reporting the people who do it. That's it. The examples that you listed were actually real problems because they really hurt people, but the thing that you are talking is nothing new. People Harass eachother on the internet, the best you can do is block/report the person and move on. Also, [quote]SniperInTheSnow22h 57m ago Permalink I'm a girl and it's rarely a problem. If it ever get's to be one though I just jump lobbies.[/quote] [quote]CamCamm19h 31m ago Permalink Yawn.[/quote] Cam is a girl btw. Anyway those are 2 girls that don't think it's that big of a deal. So yea, you're wrong.

What Am I going to you. Sorry but there is no way you can be this stupid. [quote]Well said, sir. I don't call myself as "girl gamer" the slut who biting the controller. I am just a female gamer.

I Think all guys should be respectful like I am.[/quote] I mean these post make up most of the thread, but you hang onto the few comment from people who don't agree. Muting doesn't solve the problem and reporting takes time to see action. Clearly you never heard of cyber bullying before. People have killed themselves because people who they don't know were harassing them. You don't know how people will react to being harassed and to say that you do is retarded. You are wrong here. Admit it and move on. Oh and Songbird and Viola are girls as well.
-
I don't feel sorry for people who kill themselves over that, when they can easily block the person, and no I didn't read through all of your comments I just scrolled through a few of them. Muting does solve it.
-
I'm done with you. You're clearly an asshole. Muting doesn't stop the harasser for harassing.
-
It's stops the harasser from bothering the person. Lastly, think about this, what I was saying this whole time is that what you are doing won't stop anyone from harassing girls,people who do that just want attention, if the girl just mutes him he won't get the attention that he wanted. Someone who would threat other people that way wouldn't have the sense to listen to you. It's logic not being an asshole.
-
And then the Harasser just goes and harasses another girl. How do I just want attention for commenting on a legit problem. I'm sorry that you are to much of a moron to understand that but it is what it is. You're not using any logic here. You're not fixing the problem, you're just putting a band aid on it. You're ignoring it because you think that once the harasser is nutted then he just stops harassing. You're wrong there. Why would the harasser stop, he would just move on to the next girl and then the next girl. It doesn't stop unless you stop it at the source. Now this is logic. This is how you think about a problem and fix it. What you are saying doesn't fix the problem, but only addresses the problem. If you are to slow to understand that then that's you.
-
The harasser moves to the next girl, and is then ignored again, and etc. The harasser will stop once he gets no attention and realizes that he doesn't get anything besides a ban. I never said that you wanted attention. I'm saying that the harasser wants attention. Someone who is that pathetic won't listen to you.
-
Edited by AssaultProdigy: 10/22/2013 1:35:38 AMYeah you think that you know how people will think. What makes you think that the harasser cares if he's getting attention. How do you know that that's all that he wants. Some people might just like to harass girls just for the hell of it. You're assuming that you know what's going to happen when you really don't know. Someone who thinks that harassing women is ok will listen to you and that's just sad.
-
Are you really any different from me when it comes to how people think? You already acted like saying "no this is bad" will change the way that person thinks. I understand that someone who is like that wouldn't listen to you. I've said this over 10 times already. Anyway what I said earlier will probably stop the people who do it for attention. Anyway the harasser is just doing it for the hell of it then the people he harass can just report the guy, and he will be banned. Solved.
-
Yeah because you are clearly thinking of the best possible ending for a situation and rarely does that happen. You are treating this like it's no big deal so of course you are going to look at the best possible ending instead of thinking that thing s could end worse. And when the Harasser just makes a new account then what. You aren't putting any deep thought into this.
-
It's more effective then what you're doing. All you're doing is saying "no, bad dog". When the harasser can easily say "lol no". You act like the guy would suddenly listen to you even after girls girls he hit on obvious gave him clear signs that he is not wanted. Muting and reporting the people who do it is the most effective way to do it. How bad can it get anyway?
-
Edited by AssaultProdigy: 10/22/2013 10:14:40 PMIt's effective for one person, not the community as a whole. What you are doing is barely doing anything. What you are doing is telling the harasser that the worse they can do to him is mute him. There are no consequences, there is only someone muting and blocking a person that's not going to stop. Stop with the bear minimum. Stop being so damn lazy.
-
You are saying that I am saying that there are no consequences when I mentioned that using the mute and report options are the most effective way to get rid of them. Muting the guy stops him from bothering you, reporting him will get him banned. If he just makes another account and doesn't change then he will be banned again if he does what he is doing. Also all you are doing is saying "no bad dog" and you're calling me lazy.... Yea because it took so much effect to say "her harassers.... stop harassing people"
-
Mute does nothing and reporting takes time for any action to take place. Why are you not understanding that. You're not getting rid of anyone when you mute them. You are just pressing the big IGNORE button that you have. Muting doesn't stop the troll from trolling, just like ear plugs doesn't stop a person from talking. You just said it, they can make as many accounts as they want to. So what you are suggesting is NOT a solution at all.
-
So is your solution automatically converting these harassers to normal people? Not at all. No solution does. What I'm saying will stop people from being affected by it. So here is an example, someone gets a message saying "-blam!-". They ignore it. They continue getting annoying messages from the same person. So the harasser gets muted. He can send as much messages as he wants but the person who blocked him won't be affected by him. Also for the record, trolls annoy people for the sake of pissing them off. If the troll is ignored then he doesn't get what he wants.
-
No it's making sure that they are not allowed to play mutliplayers. That is something that is obtainable. You can ban someone for a year and then make sure that they are not able to make another account. What you are saying will stop SHIT. It doesn't stop a damn thing. It's a lazy way to TRY to fix a problem. You're not even trying to stop the harasser and that where you fail here.
-
I read your list again, it said nothing about something that would stop them from playing multiplayer. It stops nothing, it just says "no stop doing it". Muting the guy stops them from bothering the person. Are you saying that if I mute someone and I can no longer get any more messages from them doesn't stop him from bothering me? Reporting him gets him banned. Not all the harassers are going to make infinite accounts.
-
When did I ever go over the consequences in my list. I didn't. If you would read then you would see that this was a simple list of dos and donts. [quote]Muting the guy stops them from bothering the person.[/quote] But it doesn't stop the harasser you moron. How hard is this for you to understand. Muting is nothing but an ignore button. It doesn't stop the problem. [quote] Not all the harassers are going to make infinite accounts.[/quote] So you're admitting that someone might go the extra mile and make multiple accounts.

How hard is this for you to understand. Muting is nothing but an ignore button. It doesn't stop the problem.[/quote] Neither does a list of do's and don'ts. Atleast my way stops people from being affected by it. [quote]So you're admitting that someone might go the extra mile and make multiple accounts.[/quote] Eventually the harasser will stop making accounts. A lot of them won't even bother making that many accounts anyway.
