Boomers these days....

care more about your grammar than disrespecting the dead. Sorry i didn't spell check a post i made on a game. Twat.

whilst your intentions might be honourable all you have done is create a bigger problem.

your leader has been here 5k days, he knows the score and is prolly aware of the harrassment rules within torn. The staff are extremely keen to stamp out rl harrassment and usually do this with fed if proven beyond a doubt.

It is his problem to deal with, not yours and it is his problem to report and act on, not yours.

All you have done is advertise his rl stuff and make him a target for more trolls and dickheads.

I read POS as Point Of Sale.
Came here expecting an Andyman market analysis with sext graphs.
Well colour me disapointed - but yes, making fun of somebodies dead wife is just some low life trash trying to feel big.

You commented in jest? About as tactful as cracking jokes during a funeral. Thats all the attention your getting little buddy.

Sadly there is a special category of f**kwits in Torn and kickrocks is obviously one of them.

I applaud your faction initially dealing with this outside the forums and your faction leaders wish to keep it that way.

By the same token I also applaud your decision to bring this matter to the attention of the wider community. There are some things, even in Torn, that are simply not at all acceptable.

In the very least I hope that kickrocks is man enough to come to the forums, admit his mistake and make a very sincere apology.

I'd really like to say I'm surprised or shocked but I can't. This guy isn't the first to assume that because this is an online game, common decency is just a distant concept that only applies to real-life actions. Sadly, he's not the last one either.

If I'm mistaken and he's the sort of guy who'd just drop a comment like that in a RL fight, that suggests a serious lack of EQ. *slow clap*

Thats one viewpoint, now i'm sorry if I doubt further people will dog-pile my faction leader for getting harassed about his wife but you're right i probably should of went through him first.

Now the fact that it's his problem alone is horse-shit, were a family over here. If someone disrespected your family to the highest level what would you do? We have been dealing with his harassment for over a year this post was long over-due.

everyone on the internet? i just see a topic about one person..."The POS i am referring to is KickRocks [1030718]"
did u read the topic?...
"Over a year later he is still harassing my faction leader by hospitalizing/mugging him and our faction which would've been fine ...... until he messaged him this "
a year? if the messages bother him then he would block kickrocks right or at least u would thing since that feature does exist.
i dont know maybe the 2nd hand outrage topic just dont seem sympathetic to me, if it was his leader's topic....then maybe.

edit: oh btw there is this...

Meh, so the world is full of insufferables arseholes?

At least if they're sat at home pixel insulting your faction leader then they're not on the roads trying to kills someone in their tin pot wannabe gangsta speedsta car...

Ying & yang I guess...

OT - With arseholes like this you can only hit fire with fire...

I would have retorted "...she is and she's still million times more socialable than you ya feckin ****"

1 Never underestimate the stupidity and callousness of the population of torn, the more immature and intellectually stunted thrive on this stuff

2 You absolutely should have asked him first

3 Regardless of the family dimension of your faction, it is his rl issue to sort.

4 This entire thread is exactly the reason you never disclose RL info about yourself to anyone. At all. Ever.

5 If someone here disrespects my rl family, I laugh at them and move on because they dont know my family and are simply looking for a REACTION.

6 If you have been dealing with this harrassment for over year, why is it suddenly an issue? why hasnt it been logged and reported?
bogie [148747] Admin Staff
Staff sent an official warning given there were no prior offences reported, with bans or even federal jail being an option for such things in the future, as we agree it was disgusting and shame on those who think this kind of harassment should be par for the course for online behaviour.

Apologies this action taken was not clear, since mail reports don't get responses - I am always happy for reporters to contact me after doing chat/mail reports for followups on what steps were taken.

Blame social media. No, really, I think thats part of the issue here. Kids these days do not understand the dangers of internet. They have grown up in the age of social media, their first picture possibly being shared online before they even opened their eyes properly. Sure, their parents are to blame for that, but it is what it is. These kids have learned that its normal to share everything online, whereas us late 80’s - early 90’s kids learned that “what you put online is there forever” and that stranger-danger applies online too. In the early days of internet people had more reservations about their privacy.

Now that is definitely a vile thing to say, especially if being said with the knowledge of the receiver actually having a wife who has passed away. But how would he know that he even is a man in reality? Or that he had a wife? Or that the wife has passed? We are playing text-based RPG here, which stands for role playing game. Who says he wasn’t making all of that up, playing his Torn character? I mean who here really believes Evil-Duck is the prince of Africa? Now I am not actually questioning the OPs story here about his faction lead’s wife being dead. Not at all, I just want to clarify that right away, before someone makes any silly assumptions. I am just saying that people can say and claim anything, it’s the internet.

What I am trying to say here, is that don’t share too much on the internet and don’t believe everything you see or read on the internet. It’s all your choices in the end. Know the risks involved and be prepared for it. Think what you want random people of Torn to know about you. Act accordingly.

I went through something similar when my wife was killed 3 years ago.

Its deplorable, but I did what so many here have said your leader should do. I blocked and ignored, smh at what a garbage human this guy was for sayin that kinda stuff, and just moved past it.

Outing him publicly just woulda kept it going, and I really just wanted to get past that shit as fast as humanly possible, so I didnt take the route you have here. I would bet your leader isnt thrilled about it being a current topic of discussion as well, so I'd try to let this thread die, or even grave it. SO many things make me think about her every day, having a bunch of online peeps discussing it after the fact will just keep it even fresher ... no bueno bud. Trust me on this one

Just some advice from someone thats been through it.
manic [1554958]
I 'partial' disagree, especially with your opening comments (edited). The world is full of shits, always has had, always will have.

Whereas before these freaks used to go to pubs, get drunk and start fights, or flash in parks, or just be general dickheads they now have social media - a tool which gives them a voice aying whatever they want from the comfort of their front living room to anywhere on the planet.

You either ignore them and get on with your life or get upset and twisted.
