WC Insults?

Okay so I have a question. For opinion or mod/exp input. :]

Now.. there's people in this game who know how to insult while maintaining rules. They know a phrase or line that is directly linked to a known inside joke, a joke used to bash another, and consistently use it. Not to the point of spamming, but enough to make it their phrase of choice.

I know experts are allowed to use their "common sense" to interpret rules. But what if these insults are so low on the radar, but so amazingly obvious that it is an insult?

From an expert stance. You could tell them to stop, but on what grounds? Sure, bashing, but how do you prove this?

An example:
An insult to someone's looks - saying they look like.. I dunno.. uh.. bald Britney Spears one day.
Get warned by an expert to not bash.
But then the next day start singing Britney Spears to the person.
You can't exactly say don't sing Britney Spears...

Sure block is available. But is there any other form? I'm guessing not, but a question nonetheless.

IMO, ignore the person, dont block them. See how desprate they get, dont fuel them by saying stop, just go on ur merry way and have a good laugh at them;)

Re: WC Insults?

We only have that when 2 people that always attack each other come on wc and talk, without going in private, the get VIP so....boring watching them fight and spam........ugh.

Not only that, they do it so long, the other person gets tired of talking to them! They mute them! Why couldn't they have done that from the very beginning when everyone was having a peaceful and merry time in wc. By that time I just stepped in and said break it up. The trick is that if the guy keeps attacking you, get in their alliance and make them stop. You know, like when you are in the same alliance you can't attack other people. That's the trick. Sorry, if this didn't answer your question......just lost my temper I guess lol.

Re: WC Insults?

Omg this thread. You've found yet another reason to mute. Amazing. Is the issue really the person's feelings being hurt or is it more a bash on your ego that their circumventing your authority. Ignore them.

Re: WC Insults?

I'm going to say something I've never mentioned to anyone, even those who make their quest for expert painfully obvious....

this is my opinion about players that attempt to help in world chat:

any player who chooses to answer questions are a big help, and those who 'nicely' try to keep order, can be a help as well, BUT when a player is constantly harping at people, telling them what to do, dictating rules, bossing, belittling, or otherwise being obnoxious and overbearing, only causes problems for everyone, I am quite tired of hearing complaints about it, on almost every server.....players need to understand that, yes, the only way you are going to get noticed for expert is to help, but do so in such a manner that people LIKE you as well....

Just my opinion....

Re: WC Insults?

Fey in regards to the original topic; that is called harassment. Start taking screenshots of everything. In time, you will surely have enough to report something worthwhile.
Things may seem harmless, but I understand fully that they are not.

Thumbs up :)

Take some screenshots and send them to kingdomsupport@haypi.com if you think that person is doing the wrong thing. That would be really great.

Re: WC Insults?

Oh no no. :lol:

I'm not saying this is happening to me. I'm just posing a question.
I've seen it happen to others, namely an expert, and it just doesn't seem fair.

Re: WC Insults?

Thanks for your concern about other players, Fey.

Next time if this happens, please tell the player to contact us at kingdomsupport@haypi.com

We will do our best to tell if it is bashing or not since we have chat logs.
