I thought this was a 'talk about your encounters with douchebags' kinda thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was interested to see what people was saying and it got dark too quick. On topic as an female gamer, I am lucky I haven't received that many messages from trolls, I got bullied a lot as a kid and sometimes I will just ignore it and not engage. I find it even more funny when I kick someone ass in a fighting game and they rage quit on you. I do get the odd she's good in a surprising way on mic, like they think all female gamers are crap, which just makes me smile. I have my messages set to friends only and the mute on, most of it is from people who has a crap life and feel's they have the right to take it out on you. Ignore them, block and report. Trolls and bully's aren't worth your time. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charizarzar Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 My personal favourite was "I hope your whole family dies in a car accident" because my Battlefield server was set to private. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaivRules Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 My most recent message was "I hope your kid gets cancer" because I'm a moderator here and they are flagged on the leaderboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s strange considering you aren’t a member of the CRT team, unless something changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtag_Dude Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I tend to have fun with those kind of messages. A while ago I got "serious" threats over winning a game of Worms and I simply replied : " I think I'm starting to falling in love with you" and dude just gave up... 10 minutes ago, DaivRules said: My most recent message was "I hope your kid gets cancer" because I'm a moderator here and they are flagged on the leaderboard. Well, I'm not flagged yet, so I hope your kid gets a decent education Never feed the trolls, the moment you reply with hate towards them, you lose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your kid didn't in fact get cancer? 1 hour ago, Ragtag_Dude said: Well, I'm not flagged yet, so I hope your kid gets a decent education But only decent. Anything more is just being greedy. But anyway, I've messed around enough. I've gotten a few messages, though none so nasty as these. Probably the funniest one was when I was invaded in Dark Souls 2. I won the battle (which happens more often than not, though I'm not great), and I got a message from the vanquished saying, "What - did you get your dad to help you?"

StraightVege Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 In my PS3 multiplayer gaming days, I used to receive so much PSN hate mail that I eventually just blocked messages from non-friends entirely in the privacy options. Haven't switched it back on since, and my life/sanity has been all the better for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 When I boosted Red Dead Redemption early this year the group leader I was with gave a specific name towards somebody that he despised. Turns out this person was deliberately trying to wreck the boosting sessions, which I wasn't even aware of because this happened before I started boosting the game myself. Really, it all depends on the types of people you're with, whether you're online or even when you're out in the real world. We had a full group of people (16 people) for the Kingpin trophy in Red Dead Redemption, had to get up early in the morning which aren't the hours I'm normally on. Everybody got their trophy in about 25 to 30 minutes, all 16 of us or so and nobody was causing issues. A bit later during the Advanced Co-op missions I ended up sticking around an extra four to five hours after I finished everything to make sure everyone else had their trophies. But to make a long story short, this griefer in particular was sending people messages regarding Nazis, including the group leader who made the Red Dead Redemption boosting group. He even sent me some messages, which I then decided to block him. Engaging in that conversation would only mean trouble for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VoidVictorious Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I think the point that everybody has a story has been made. Could we focus on appropriate ways to deal with abuse for the OP instead of driving the above mentioned point into the ground? Frankly, I block and move on myself. You need to get used to the unfortunate fact that some people simply do things to try and make the lives of others harder. If you expose yourself to the masses on the internet, you will inevitably run into more of these people. Try not to take it personally and just don’t give them the attention they are seeking. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck! The original post isn’t asking for anything. They started a topic about toxic troll messages and gave an example. Other people giving their examples is entirely on topic.

If you read mine, I simply made the point that endlessly sharing stories of toxic behavior (and in some cases using inappropriate examples) doesn’t help the OP in the long run. Learning to cope and understand abuse is far more useful than focusing on the negativity itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
