That would fall under harassment in the report option.
I can't believe you allowed that much spam without putting the child on ignore.

If the guy is standing around not doing anything that is still leaching even if they are at the computer.

I would have put him on ignore after the second one. Why didn't you do that?

As for your second question, you have to make sure you are using the direct link to the image:

I did after the match was over i wanted to see how long he would keep it up and even after the match he kept going... the community is getting more and more childish as time passes it seems. the other day i was doing a zm and a player in the party kept drawing private parts on the minimap.

Oh boy, that screenshot brings back some memories. I had someone spam me after he killed me in RA saying "learn not to suck" as many times there as that, and when I ignored him, he logged onto another account and continued, so when I ignored him a second time he came back a THIRD time and continued. Not only was it "learn not to suck" but a few offensive words too. I don't take offense to anything people say online... but I reported him for the lulx.

I put those accounts in my friends list.. Never again did those three accounts appear logged on in my friends list ever again.

Totally reportable, IMO. And I wouldn't just use the in-game report, but the web support, so you can track the actions taken.

See that a lot in JQ.... They all have the same artistic style, as far as I can tell -- looks like a preschooler's rendering of a fish to me.

I'm guessing that since accounts are so cheap now, more and more parents are buying them to babysit their kids/teens. *shrug*

lol, sounds like a problem i had with a buyer one time. I listed a weapon for sale on an auction site and when the kid came online to buy he asked me to meet him "by the armor guy". I asked him which town and district and he just kept repeating "armory" and also added some colorful language about how stupid I was for not being able to find the armor seller.

I finally told him to just meet me in Kaineng Center INT 1 and he cussed me out again saying he had never heard of that town and I need to come TO THE ARMOR GUY NOW!!!!!!

Once I got thru to him that the game contains lots of "armor guys" in lots of towns and lots of districts, he finally mentioned the monastery and told me to come to European English 1. I said no and met him in INT just because he was being a childish twit and didn't feel like switching from American to European servers.

Finally traded him the weapon and he started cussing me out some more. He continued to rant for 2 minutes until I put him on ignore, so then he switched to the auction site and filled up my inbox on the forum with harassing messages. (He was banned within the hour).

I logged in about 3 hours later and took him off my ignore list. Within less than 5 seconds he pm'd some more vulgar messages. Talk about having no life. He must have been hitting send for 3 hours waiting for a non-ignore message. I told him I had screenshots of all his harassment and was sending them to A-net. He immediately started begging me not to turn him in. He said he was on his parents account and they'd be mad if they found their account banned.

I told him it wasn't my problem and I didn't have any sympathy for him and put him back on the ignore list.

I've had this happen to me numerous times and Support simply told me "put them on ignore".

But ignore has a limit! Zomg

I hope the spammer is a bot, if not they need a straight jacket

I seen a player with the name "Child Mulester" last night, Christmas/Wintersday brings out all the 'Special' people

It was "Child Molester" actually. I had a guildy who is as easily upset as you are. I got him to rage the team, spam for everyone to report me for atleast an hour, leave the guild, use his brother's account to read our conversations, and after giving him no attention, he still wanted to play with us.

Btw I think of myself as quite a compassionate person. It just makes me giggle to observe the frustration of other people who are offended over something I wouldn't bat an eye at.
