Conquer Club

Just wondering if CC tolerates certain behaviour.

I recently played a speed game with this guy: whoknowsGI, Game 22646755

It makes me feel sick that we are exposed to this kind of behaviour. Is this the new kind of normal? Do we really tolerate this on our site?

This way CC isn't fun anymore and it probably also explains why more and more people leave the site.

The guy is a total idiot, plays 1v1 claasic, Thinks dice will always benefit high rankers even when proved otherwise and will say all kind of nonsense.
I think you should report him for abusive language, most likely u will get an answer fo foe and move on. But I agree with you, these kind of people only get people away from the site and it would be better to ban them or something similar.

Welcome to the Internet.

Don't let an imaginary weenie ruin your day. Have a beverage and/or go for a walk. Tomorrow will probably be another game, possibly even with nicer chat.

I once read a chat where a player wished that his opponent got cancer, so his kids could feel the pain of never getting a chance to say goodbye.

CC will let you say anything in ingame chat, with the acception of racism maybe.

Racism will get them banned if it's reported.

File an abuse report. Here are a bunch of other games in which he was abusive. I'd report him, but I've never been subjected to his abuse.

Game 22660666
Game 22659272
Game 22658989

I’d say generally, this is pretty mild. From a C&A perspective it’s definitely a foe and move on situation. Cultivate the experience you want. Generally I foe people like this because like you, it’s not something I want to be overly exposed too.

However if it’s egregious or rampant, suppose there could be a case for gross abuse or breach of the community guidelines etc.

But yeah at least under the current iteration of the rules and how we’re instructed to implement them (at least my understanding of them) this is FAMO.

What about the deadbeating? Based on the response to NSS and others, I would assume this guy should receive the full weight of C&A. I would have thought that would have been the first thing you guys would notice given that it is treated as such an egregious action on the site lately. It took about 5 minutes to flip through his games to find a bunch of other times he's deadbeated, and a whole slew of times where he threatens opponents that he'll deadbeat if they don't finish him off fast enough.

Deadbeats in:
Game 22658989
Game 22652721
Game 22651129
Game 22651122
Game 22650752

Game 22645525

I didn’t check for deadbeating tbh was just reading the chat since that seemed to be what was referenced. Rereading I do see he threatened to deadbeat.

But yeah, if he had 5+ examples certainly grounds for a case. Actually rereading the original complaint doesn’t even say it’s the commentary, guess I just assumed that based on the wording in my head at first pass.

Wasn't that guy suspended before for this exact behaviour? Pretty sure there was a C&A thread on him and was accused of being an admitted multi of bflynn4 who did the exact same crap.

I’m at work and squeezing these answers in between things.

How many / if any of these games linked are post July 16, 2023?

Looks like almost all of them are post that date

The earliest of those 11 games was July 31, 2023. I only stopped there after I got done looking at the first page of his games. About 1/4-1/3 of his losses were deadbeats.

Moved to C&A

Thanks. He is now on vacation for reflection.

The ban he's been given seems more in keeping with the community guidelines, which say things like 'be nice or leave'.

If you read the thread, I became more educated on the situation as the discussion moved forward. Definitely was more to it then the first glance I gave it.

Was making more of a general comment about how the default 'foe and move on' stance is bs, rather than taking some sort of aim at you.

Oh, you know, "foe and move on" has it's place. There have been a few reports here where very little was said and someone got upset and reported. If someone called me an idiot, or something, I'd be like "wow, rude." But it's not a C&A case.

This guy though, there's been a handful like him and they always get banned when reported. Just need 5 examples of them doing the same crap to prove it isn't a one off temper tantrum from someone having a bad day.

To be clear, this case was banned for deadbeating. The chat still is FAMO category. Only because of the deadbeat / history was this escalated.

I don't agree with the FAMO stance for systematic chat abuse. It doesn't leave a good impression for potential new members. And people were 100% given a timeout for this type of chat abuse in the not too distant past.

I agree its silly he gets banned for db, I think his actitude is even worse and will affect more people than missing some speed game turns, its not that big of an issue. but imagine a new recruit having his first game with someone like this, cenrtainly would not lke to keep on playing. So better get priorities sorted.

Understood. The site is super lenient on game chat and comparatively, this was extremely mild. So not much there systematic or not. I only read the one game so maybe some of the others are worse idk.

If we banned people w bad attitudes there’d be a lot less people on the site. I can think of a dozen + I’d immediately ban if it was simply determined on bad attitudes and that’s just based on my opinion, let alone everyone else’s opinions of bad attitudes.

Whether I / we agree or not the site rules and guides we’ve been asked to enforce prioritize game abuse not mild chat abuse.

EDIT: this isn’t really the place for debate or discussion tho. Let’s continue the discussion elsewhere please

By the way here is the chat (With comments in red):
2023-08-09 11:44:15 - Iron Maid: gl
2023-08-09 11:45:19 - whoknowsGI: i've asked you this before, why do you join games w/ materially lower ranks?
This wasn't asked before, there was only 1 game played earlier, which he won
2023-08-09 11:45:56 - whoknowsGI: does it feel fucking good to you that cc just fucking gives you games?
Twice using the word f@$#ing for what reason?
2023-08-09 11:45:59 - Iron Maid: I join games because I want to benefit
I made this comment as I was looking for unique kills for the Snowflake Festival
2023-08-09 11:46:11 - whoknowsGI: does being a point poacher boost your fucking fragile ego?
Where does this comment come from. No mild chat abuse in my opinion - Would call this gross abuse
2023-08-09 11:46:22 - whoknowsGI: you're a sad person
Also gross abuse to say this for no reason
2023-08-09 11:46:36 - Iron Maid: lol
2023-08-09 11:46:43 - whoknowsGI: you can fucking finish this on your own, and know that you'll be foed
Again f@$#ing and no nice language
2023-08-09 11:46:44 - Iron Maid: really?
2023-08-09 11:47:12 - Iron Maid: that's ok foe me
2023-08-09 11:47:17 - whoknowsGI: hope you're super happy now bitch
Calling me a bitch? Gross abuse again in my opinion
2023-08-09 11:48:00 - whoknowsGI: go play chess w/ a 3 year old and tell yourself how fucking dominant and smart you are
Again a totally unnecessary comment
2023-08-09 11:48:04 - Iron Maid: Thank you for your kind words
2023-08-09 11:48:22 - whoknowsGI: Iron Bitch
Gross abuse again
2023-08-09 11:49:01 - Iron Maid: You really need to seek help, you have serious mental issues
I gave some good advice here. Probably unheard
2023-08-09 11:55:24 - whoknowsGI: hope those 14 points made you feel smart and pretty, you're just a bitch w/ a real compensation issue that needs addressing
And again gross abuse

This is what I meant with if we tolerate this. And now you gonna say he was banned for deadbeating instead of this kind of behavior?


Instead of me joining his game it could be some kids who also like to play on this site. Should people be exposed to this kind behavior? Yes of course it is part of the game. I would advice people that use that kind of language her to walk during the night in some American neighbourhoods and try their language out there. It would solve a lot of problems!

What neighborhoods do you have in mind?

Please be specific,
