    i agree, block is a wonderful thing... makes all those unwaned, needed and disgusting comments just never happen... bliss...

    We had a similar issue on another server, except instead of racism it was physical death threats and cyber-bullying to the max. Some serious sick $#?+ that I had never seen in 14 years of online gaming.

    After tons of screenshots to Tynon support, and even a handful of personal mails to davemata, all we got back was "use the block feature" from dave in a form-letter format.

    I'm actually surprised that server hasn't done anything about the 3rd-party harassment.

    Indeed. Legal ramification, liability, ect.

    Easy to tell someone to use block but that only hides the fact that someone is breaking laws.

    All social sites and games have the block feature. It's there stop online harassment.

    Take the screenshots, block the person and report. If they create another account to continue to pester you or others, wash, rinse and repeat. Not blocking them because for some reason you think that it's hiding their harassment completely contradicts what having a block button is for. Instead it actually encourages this kind of behavior.

    If you guys want to report them and hope something happens, go ahead.

    The purpose of Slander and Libel is to have other people see it, not the person being slandered. Therefore the block feature is a counter-productive solution as it only prevents you from seeing what the persecutor(s) are saying about you.

    Also, when was the last time that taking a screenshot and reporting to Tynon did ... anything? We've reported everything under the sun including downright criminal activity, sent mails to dave, and are still waiting (months later). If experience is any indication, we'd have better results writing a letter to Mr. President.

    For more info, Google Third Party Harassment

    Simple fact, use it or don't. No internet company will take you seriously if you don't use it. As I said it's there to protect you from unwanted users.

    Do the comments make you feel threatened in real life or impacting on your personal well-being? Are you being attacked on other sites or just Tynon? If the answer is yes to one or all of those then you need to tell Support that this is case. Reason being this is the third party harassment you are describing.

    However, simple trolling which I strongly suspect you have here is fixed by just blocking. Trolls feed off attention and if you ignore them they will go away. If they know you are annoyed they will keep on pestering you.

    am i the only one that start to think that the OP's complete refusal of blocking the person maybe results into "getting it" because he doesnt block and the other figured out how to push his buttons?

    What a ridiculous sentiment Morgan.

    If someone has issued death threats ingame then the powers that be should do everything and anything to stop it happening again. The race hate and sexism may be argued as free speech but death threats or threats of physical violence breaks international law. Of course any sane person would use the block feature but as i said, it only hides the threats to anyone that does use the block feature, it does not stop it happening to someone else.

    Kids play this game for crying out loud.

    We've sent the reports, the screenshots, the emails. When people are posting your personal address (in public) and telling people to harm you, your family, your kids ... and offering people money to do so ... making people leave the server for not only their emotional safety, but PHYSICAL safety. These persecutors, it is their GOAL to run you off the server. I was one of the last ones to leave. I've seen tons of people threatened and leave that server for their safety. Some have considered calling the authorities. Instead we decided to take it through the proper channels.

    ... And nothing. It's been months and nothing. Most of us moved on to other games, or created new accounts for personal safety reasons.

    (edit: yes I had to also take down my facebook account)

    We've tried that, done that for months. It only got worse (and enabled these people).
