Account #2: 13 Gladiators, just padding extra targets for faster credit.
Account #3: random.. just to hold open the opposing side of the match.

I plan on doing the same thing again, and anybody who wants to earn the badge can just jump on the badge team and huddle up. It should go fast.. as long as I don't DC. lol If you want to put a toon on the opposing team as well, ur certainly welcome to. Thanks

I'm offended by your being easily offended. If someone threatens you thats one thing but I'm sick of the phrase "I was offended." Everytime this topic comes up all I can think is 'Baby needs a fresh bottle with a double dose of prozac to make them feel good about themselves.' I dont know where the slippery slope started at whether it was racial slurs or remarks about disabled people but it has gone from being sensible to just plain retarded. I'm sorry that your parents coddled you while you were growing up you easily offended people but its time to mature a bit. Yes its imature that someone sends you nasty pm or rep post and yes its immature to tag every post your involved in with something derogatory but its up to you to decide whether they are even worth noticing. Jeez people how hard is to simply say something is beneath your notice. You dont need a ignore feature for that, all that feature does is make it easy. Do something hard and take pride in the fact that you can do something like look at the tag that says 'turbo = noob' and say to yourself thats a worthless statement by a little (mentally) man. Why some people get so upset over the fact that someone actively dislikes them I will never understand. I am not talking about stalkers or people actively making threats to you. I'm talking about the people who are for lack of a better term trolling and are just trying to make you angry. Have some dignity and dont respond or even notice them.

That, too, is an assumption that is trying to force their views on others.

I also don't discourage anyone from reporting anything to the Mods (and I know you were not referring to me in specific there), yet I do believe there is a fine line to be walked in that regard. I'm not saying you personally do this, but I'm certain there are those out there who PM the Mods with every slight they receive here, whether they are a genuine violation of the forum rules or not.

Waaaah, he/she attacked my post!
Waaaah, they put some inane tag that calls me a n00b!
Waaaah, noone likes me!

Give me a break. Have we all grown so bored of COH that all we can do is whine and complain about other forum users now? Good Lord just put some good ideas for the mods to work on in here or shut up.

Just my personal point of view here, I get very crude/profane rep comments/PMs all the time. Personally, I just delete them as the majority of the time, they are 1 time snarks. I really don't need a Mod to do that for me. Like I said, I could be wrong but I believe that is the spirit of what was meant by "growing thicker skin". Personally, I tend to agree with that sentiment.

To start, I was not "attacking" you or your post. I simply disagree with some of the things you posted. Perhaps you might extend some of that reading comprehension you suggested to others before typing a reply...

Second, I was not referring to you alone (as anyone with some reading comprehension can see) in that I was citing some of the wording mentioned by the OP in my reply. My apologies if that was unclear, yet it is also to some degree proving my point.

Lastly, I will repeat that I personally believe people like yourself and the OP should consider growing thicker skin and just learn to ignore the nonsense. If someone saying they "hate you" and want you to "go back to Freedom" truly bothers you that much or (like the OP) feel "bullyed" because someone negative reps you or leaves a snarky comment or tag, then perhaps you should consider another social outlet.

Sure, posts/tags/whatever should be removed if they are truly offensive or outright threatening to someone, yet the majority of ones I see are nothing I would consider all that terrible.

Spamming the Mods to remove posts/tags/comments because someone said you were dumb or disagreed with you or negative repped you is just plain silly and a waste of Mod time. It is also my personal opinion that it is a far cry from "bullying" or "graffitti" or whatever else you want to call it.

If posting on an internet forum really bothers you this much, perhaps you may want to consider not surfing the internet anymore.

There is malice behind it and some are using the ratings (thread, rep, tags) as a means of bullying. This clearly breaks forum rules of behaviour, and should not be tolerated.

To bring back what was said above, it is schoolyard bullying at its worst.

Some people don't even know global channels exist, and to those people, their communication with other players is limited to team, local, and broadcast chat. There's also the issue of player cliques and supergroups - it's a matter of perception, really. I could log a character in on Justice and get an invite to a task force, mission team, or farm within a minute or two, but that's because I know the channels and the people. Someone who's new to Justice might hunt around for a PuG for a few minutes, get bored, say "this server is empty," and leave. While PuGs are a bit more common here than on Justice due to the higher population, the same basic principle applies.
