Someone has been reading their pratchet.

Wow, so you are a kind of a trashy person to be honest.

You reported the guy who was upset, and you want to pretend you are the good guy here? I’ll tell you what, I don’t report these people, and based on your actions I think you are the actual griefer here. Why don’t you just leave them alone, instead of trying to report them and make them feel worse?

Yah, I appreciate that objective honesty.

Anyone who comes in there can see for themselves, it’s pretty mild banter. About the worst thing anyone ever says is “Calm down miner.”

The official mining chat is significantly more toxic, even with GM moderation.

The reporting isn’t about making them feel worse. If someone no matter how upset they are starts being racist, etc then they need to be told no matter how upset they are it’s not ok.

For instance I was reading a thread here where Bluelysian of all people had someone threaten to cut off her hands! One of the nicest people in the game and someone says something like that to them. That person needs to be reported because that is not ok.

Nah, I honestly think you are a trash person.

You complained about “dogpiling” on people who are upset, and you are reporting them. That’s not cool. If someone gets upset, let them rant. It’s a real twisted sense of ethics you have to go around acting like some kind of whiteknight.

It’s not about white knighting I would also report the person winding them up if they were racist or started making real life threats some things are just not ok.

That you think this is ok very much makes me not care that you think I’m a ‘trash person’. So have fun with your opinion.

Difference is I don’t think your a ‘trash person’ just a dedicated internet troll.

Difference is, I think your a ‘trash person’ and a dedicated internet troll.

Oh I agree and like I said a little making sport/smack talk is fine. But when someone starts to really lose it then it’s clearly time to step back.

In the example I mentioned in Hek actually a lot of the salt mining was being done by the Hek mining association guys piling on. The gankers mostly just kept saying calm down miner over and over.

And then he reported the miner!

:roll_eyes:

What a virtue signalling petty whiteknight griefer, just literally reporting everyone.

Nope not reporting everyone. I’ve only reported bigotry in this game. In theory I would report someone making real life threats but I’ve only ever seen second hand reports of that by people on this forum.

Well, you have fun reporting the miners.

I’m not going to do that.

I wouldn’t expect you to do that. We’ve established you are ok with bigotry in game. You should only report things you think are unacceptable and against the TOS.

What you are doing is ‘virtue signalling’.

Virtue signalling is a nonsense buzz word. When you tell your kids to brush their teeth you are signalling virtues that you believe in. Looking after your health, not having stinky breath, etc.

I doubt anyone goes through life without signalling some sort of virtue on a semi regular basis. Even by behaving in a certain way you are signalling a virtue by setting an example.

By calling me a trash person for reporting bigots you are signalling a virtue that you believe bigotry should be ok and not reportable.

By insisting people should only post on their mains you are signalling that as a virtue…

Calm down miner.

Signalling the virtue that all miners should be calm.
