It's a real shame when some idiots try to spoil the game for others.
My advice is simple. Don't let them.
I too am in an exclusive relationship and have had comments directed at me for choosing to play that way.
One dip stick even tried to impersonate my spouse !! As if anyone could take the place of my Jayc.
The majority of people are really nice in this game and you will find them here in Forum. The Dip sticks luckily are in the minority.
I am glad you have joined Forum and also would encourage you to look in on The Square. The Dip Sticks do not tend to visit there, probably because they would show out and in their spiteful, nasty nature.
Use your ignore button, they cant send messages or contact you then.
I know some players also ban all freeusers from contacting them which will also solve the problems you face.
That is a double edged sword though because its a shame for free users who are actually interested in the game and who are trying it out and may move on to become premium.
I would also advise to think very carefully before you give out any other means of contact, such as email, yahoo etc.. outside of here. The forum messaging and messaging in Achat game is quite adequate. Don't be too trusting to people until you really get to know them. Ask yourself this, if they can pester me , can I stop it swiftly? If you cant, don't give it out.
From what I've heard, it seems to be two members at the moment with multiple accounts who are special ( special needs) that is causing all this upset.
I know the Moderators are trying to contain it all and are working hard behind the scenes and do not wish to name the people involved on Forum. I understand this reasoning as it is a good community we have and this could open the flood gates to disputes being aired here.
No one wants that kind of rubbish published. It would drive away the good people we are all trying to encourage to be apart of our community.
If the ones making this trouble, actually read this, then you need to look at your behaviour. It's not big or clever to harass people. It's not big or clever to insult them or call them names. It's not big or clever to send nasty or insulting messages to people over and over.
And for those who have made blogs to air their silly grievances instead of going through the proper channels , that's real brave of you ... not.
That's the cowards way, because no one can correct your inaccuracies. And a lot of it is lies and inaccurate. You clearly don't check your facts.
And to publish peoples profiles without their permission is morally wrong, no matter how hard you try to convince yourself that you are right, everyone else is wrong.
Where is your honour and self respect? Grow up and take your medication.
And Achat, you need to ban these people as a message, it will not be tolerated here. At least until they apologise for their behaviour and agree to the TOS they actually agreed to when they became members.
We all do so I think its reasonable to expect that they do too.
Just my 2p worth. LOL.
