Don't think it's against torn rules for that to be used in reason for bounty.
Don't it take to seriously, it's just a game.
If people like the one who placed the bounty had an opinion that actuatly mattered, no one would be playing torn.
Just a noob being dumb.
The real question is, are they wrong though? You haven't denied it so I assume it's true
If you feel it’s harassment you can self report and put the reasoning in the box and staff can look at it. Most likely though they will deem it not harassment.
"bounties are rude and mean" this person has clearly never heard of NST... XD
We need to talk with torn admin....i will report for it...Good luck for someone.

Yep, that Bounty reason is against the rules. You can always report it. To do so, go to your profile > report > bounty and mention the reason.
If found rule breaking, the Bounty reason is removed. Staff can check anon money senders/ anon bounty players, so we can action it if it breaks rules.
Think of your bounty reasons as badges of honor instead of insults.
If the staff don't specifically dislike the bountier then it will likely lead to nothing. The staff are heavily bias when it comes to rules like harassment.
I gained a new enemy after giving them 3 cheap bounties, I guess I will rue the day I crossed the menacing and powerful Honeymyatko
the rude word insult like that was not enough reason to call harassment trust me i have some similar word before and ask admin previously about it
If your rl pic is your profile, yes. If it isn't, probably not. Context matters,
Could you please give a little more detail on why that specific reason on the bounty is against the rules?
I've seen much worse then ugly being used that was dismissed through out my years of playing torn.
Thanks.
The insane things I've been called over the years as bounty reasons that were far worse than being simply called ugly and staff's response was that no rules were broken and that no action would be taken.
It's using the player's potential rl appearance as an insult. Generally, insults against the character ('you are dumb!') are are fine, but insults about the player ('You are so ugly/fat') are not.
It's best to stay away from insults based on a player's rl.
Context matters though, so it's best to report potentially rule breaking things for staff to evaluate.
You can file an appeal for a decision if you feel it's incorrect (or if you feel you have been actioned incorrectly) and it can be reviewed by senior staff.
the topic of whether it's allowed or not is controversial , so i'll pass that as people with more tenure already talked about it
but being visibly annoyed by bounties will almost always bring new bounties, because that's a pain point other people (people who want to annoy you) can press on. Just report the bounty if you suspect that it is against the rules, let people claim it and move on, is my advice
I don't get it. I am ugly in real life and would be more insulted if people said I was racist or religious.
How can "you are ugly" be an insult if people have never seen you?
Guess snowflakes rule the world now.
You are playing a game where you mug ppl for fun and you are complaining about some rude words. Lol
Because OP's pfp is likely a picture of their rl self. The bountier is likely referring to that picture.
Using using real photos of yourself or otherwise giving out personal info, apart from a first name and an age maybe, are probably the dumbest thing you can do imo, but here we are.
Torn is a community full of psychotic people (I'm not saying full as in "a significant percentage of the community", I'm just saying "With how large the community is, and the level of toxicity the game potentially enables, there are a lot number-wise." I also don't even remotely consider someone calling someone else "ugly" psychotic in case it came off that way, this is just a blanket statement of fact about the community itself.).
As Static1589 said, I highly, HIGHLY recommend you don't include any personal information on your profile beyond, at the absolute most, your Age and Country; And if it's in a private conversation, then your first name. Because if you have ANY social activity, sooner or later, you will run into one of those certifiably mentally unwell psychotics who will try to doxx you.
Rule #1 of the Internet: Always protect yourself. Torn is no exception.
Also as Lepiota said: Complaining publicly about being bountied will ALWAYS lead to more bounties from uninvolved parties who are just looking to rile you up because they know they can. So I say this with sincerity, not malice: As we used to say in the Army, "Suffer in silence." You'll deal with less BS that way.
