Comments:
While playing a game, the three of us were all online at the same time and it was moving forward quickly, but I got called away from my computer mid turn and was forced to leave the computer mid-turn for about 45 mins. During that time I found I had the following messages from afroaction.
I am relatively think skined about this sort of thing, but it seemed that such flaming should not go un-reported. It just doesn't seem respectful to myself of the other users.

Maybe you should have ended your turn.

Foe is on the right. Use it. Other than that I see no rules violation atm.

I have the hour to finish my turn in. Right? So I can take the full hour if I want.

I checked the rules and abusive language is a rules violation, jefjef perhaps you should re-read the rules before making comments on if there are violations or not.

Conquer Club takes a fairly liberal approach to what is said in Game Chats, but there are some deeds that should be dealt with by a moderator. If you encounter any of these violations, please open an Abuse Complaint in the Cheating & Abuse Forum.


Well multi. They will deal with EXCESSIVE abuse and bigotry and racism. This is none of the above.

It seems to me that term "excessive" is vague and up to the moderators to determine what does and does not fall into that category. As you are not a designated moderator for this forum, you opinion is, if effect, meaningless. If a moderator tells me that this is appropriate language and conduct for a member of this site, I will accept that decision and move on. Its not that I can't take language like this, but rather that it detracts from the community as a whole and I would submit that peppering someone with swear words via chat and personal message falls well within the scope of the clause below, particularly as I had done absolutely nothing wrong.

Common sense prevails - if you are intentionally or continually making this community less enjoyable for others, you're going to be removed from it. It's that simple. This applies to any part of the site where interaction takes place; in Forums, Private Messages, Live Chat and Game Chat.

Peanut-gallery style comments like yours above are not really needed as the opinions that matter are those of the moderators. Therefore, I would respectfully request that you refrain from making them.

You're a tool and a waste my of time. The "F'' is allowed in the game chat. If you can't handle the heat stay out of the kitchen. Keep playing the way you are doing, and trust me nobody will want to play with you. All you had to do is finish your turn or say something like "be right back in a in few minutes hold on please" and none of this crap would of happen. Quit your whining, grow up and move on!

I wasn't in a position to do that, it was a "come now!" situation. I do apologise for taking the time, but I did nothing wrong and played my turn within the time alloted, it certainly did not warrant the verbal abuse brought on by you. With this sort of attitude, I am surprised that anyone wants to play with you.

If you had bother to read my post you would see that I can handle it, but its people like you that wind up detracting from the community.

Speaking of game play, I would say its a serious case of the kettle calling the pot black on this one.

Was the house on fire and did not have the time to type 3 letters Brb "Be right back" or end your turn. No. You took 59 mins to play and finish your turn; because you knew you were in trouble in the game. I'd like to see you try that with any other players and [NOT[get any other reaction from them. It's called slow play and not cool get it? You did that on purpose and do not believe for one second that wasn't your plan right from the start. You did not apologies for your cheep tactic. Yet not even 20 mins after you played you had time to make a these stupid posts, and cry to the moderator. Way too fishy in my books.

FAMO Bitches!

It looks like this game turned into an RT, but there doesn't appear to be any agreement for RT so I don't quite understand why afroaction is all upset. Yes it can be frustrating to wait for someone but the player does have 1 hour to finish their turn in a standard game. That being said the chat is this game I would consider very mild.

This from the community guidelines.
You may not be used to hearing or reading those "four-letter words", but some people do and will use them. This isn't a reason to open a complaint about the player; just kindly ask them to stop or ignore them.

My suggestion is to foe and rate accordingly.

I will mark this CLOSED.
