2013-03-09 00:17:30 - David Staten: f*ck you D4 Damager may you watch your mother suffer a slow and miserable death
2013-03-09 12:54:47 - BigTom: David. My mum died of cancer and I find that offensive.
2013-03-09 15:13:41 - David Staten: ok and i care because of why

I sort of understand when people get a bit annoyed in-game and call each other a jerk, or similar, but this is clearly well over the line. Two things to add, firstly that he was also being a pain at other points in this game, hassling other players simply for playing normally (see game log for proof). Secondly, this guy has played over 11,000 games so I find it difficult to believe he actually took this very personally - seems more like he has just got used to flaming and being rude to people for fun, which is not good for the community's enjoyment of the game.

PS. Of course I will FAMO. I posted this in the hope that some action can be taken to deter him doing that to anyone else.

Thanks for any response,

D4 Damager

I agree something needs to be done about using such language.

[Edric Wolfswift]

He has been on my Foe list for a long time because of the same type of behavior. The occasional profanity is allowed and sometimes it seems to be normal for some players. But David Staten takes It to an extreme and I think he deserves to be banned for it.

[DJPatrick]

David Staten is an asshole, granted...but what do you guys want? that there me NO mention of Terminal diseases just in case some-one's second cousin's neighbour passed from it??? This is a war site...plague and pestilence is expected to reign upon your miserable heads...toughen up and move on..."think of the Children"? Maybe check out the opposition before youn join games...CC is an equal opportunity gamesite and, within reason, cretis are welcome to pay their money and take their chances...FAMO

[D4 Damager]

DJPatrick, what I want is for people not to be this offensive. That, I believe, is the point of having rules against being offensive.

[BigTom]

It's completely unacceptable. Think of the children? Exactly. I don't want my children reading that and copying that kind of behaviour at school or in public and thinking it is acceptable.

Flames are posts or parts of posts which, directly or indirectly, insult, belittle, bully, name-call, or otherwise attack another user, and are not allowed.
FLAMING SPECIFICS
It doesn't matter if another user rubs you the wrong way, that's not an excuse to flame or personally attack them.
Attacking a person instead of the user is NOT ok - it's all fun and games until it becomes personal.
Using a person's real information, picture, address, blog or anything else "personal" is NOT ok, and is Personal Information Abuse.
Yes, we are liberal on coarse language, but this does not mean cyber-bullying or abusive bigotry is acceptable anywhere. You will be removed from the community for cyber-bullying or abusive bigotry.

Flaming will get your post edited/deleted and you will receive a disciplinary action from a mod. Cyber-bullying or harassment will similarly result in a disciplinary action, and a ton of bricks.

I can't be sure if this case will be acted upon or not, but Flaming will most likely be the category it will be put under if David Staten is warned as a result. Most likely under "Attacking a person instead of the user" (maybe) or "cyber-bullying".

there is no need for abuse like this

[greenoaks]

to the op - suck it up cupcake, this is a wargame site.

to everyone else - if you don't want your children exposed to that language don't set the free on the internets, it is full of porn

[D4 Damager]

Hey greenoaks, did you really just go into the Cheating and Abuse forum and argue there is no point complaining about abuse? The clue is in the title. Maybe next you should go to the Map Foundry and say there is no point designing maps?

[drpall]

I hope this will not be tolerated.
It shouldn´t.

[betiko]

this guy is way over the line.
Also "i wanted this game to last over a year" seriously? he gets that annoyed because he want a game to stay in a stupid stalement for a year and blames dammage for wanting this to move ona little?
