Hey guys.
I've played this before on a rival website, but had to resign due to nasty people.
Can I have a guarantee before I take out a subscription that I will not be flamed or called anything nasty?
I am a 48 year old man by the way
Thanks for your time

Your fairly safe, depending on the thickness of your skin. However, play for a while as a freebe and see how it goes if it really worries you.

As mentioned, give the website and the community a test-drive, and see how you like it and how it compares.

Best of luck,
--Andy

That's not appropriate when directed to new members. You should be trying to get them to stay, not driving them all off.

I don't see how you can reasonably expect someone to give you a guarantee that you won't ever be insulted. Why did you post in the forum in the first place if you're not willing to engage the community? Most of the folks here are decent, but there are certainly people here, as in any community, who like to give people a hard time. My advice- if you just want to play, then just play, don't post.

Your guarantee from abuse is the foe list. Players on your list cannot chat you up in the games you share, send you private messages, post on your wall or join your games.
I do find it odd that a 48 year old man is concerned about abuse on a war game site
and Conquer Club has no rivals.

You don't owe us an explanation for anything. The foe list is a great tool. I suggest you check out the society of cooks. They help train new players.

Well, I will not tolerate being abused, if this happens then I will say now they will have to face the consequences.
These will not be in the form of a threat, but in some rather harsh words from my direction.
You know, I was on Facebook earlier playing Scrabble when a young girl called me an 'old perv'.
I immediately contacted the owners of Facebook and had her priviledges taken away, so think on everyone before you abuse me

Reckon you let her off lightly there Toddy baby, I'd have pushed for a public flogging or stoning. You sound like one helluva guy

Was it that she mistakenly identified you as an "old perv"
instead of an old troll that you found unsettling?

ovo, I am 48, she was 18. I was merely talking to her about summer clothing, and what she should wear on a hot day.
Nothing perverted about that

Perhaps, before you run around threatening everyone with your big, bad harsh words, you actually look up the sites policy on abuse.
And btw, stay away from the 18 year old girls.

That all depends on what you told her to wear, or not wear.

Oh if ONLY that were true. Sadly, that's not the case at all.

The problem is that this is all AFTER he's been abused. So it's not a guarantee from abuse at all.

That would be a mistake. Don't contribute to the problem...report the problem.

That's your idea of abuse?!? And that's your idea of an appropriate reaction/punishment?!?
