Telephones message really falls into a grey area for me. I also found it rather amusing too, but that is just me. I think that with a situation like that I think I would have to wait for a report from the player getting those types of messages. One or two messages like that may be funny the first time you get it, but if it becomes an every day occurrence I think it would qualify as harassment.I think it counts tbh - though the bans get reset on the 1st anyway.

A random comment like that is obviously trolling with malicious intent.

What you need to do is wait till the PB is elected then PM them the link to their profile if you still have it.Telephones message really falls into a grey area for me.

If someone shoots you in the leg you don't wait for them to take the second shot to decide if they want to kill you.
So are you filing a complaint?Well technically I already did. The link that says "report" is what I used.
This is normally done by private message. I also must have a direct link to the profile in question. With a message as described above it really would only earn a very stern lesson of civility and social behavior to other players from a PB/mother, the first time, It obviously was written by a child and must be handled as such. The second time would be much different, I can assure you.This is a terrible system. Pushing the report link should already provide the admin/mod/whoever with all the information needed. As for the concequence of the report I don't really care what happens. A warning is fair but the reason shouldn't be they were a child. Sure it was a childish thing to say but plenty of "adults" would have written the very same message. They were not obviously a child, all we know is it was the allegedly the person's cousin, if that is even true.
Obvious violations of the Terms of Service, are easy to spot and deal with instantly. Trolls are usually more crafty and skirt the rules by walking a grey area called the freedom of speech.Trolling is posting negative or inappropriate remarks to get a response from the person they are trolling. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech. Yes sure they are "free" to troll but most forums frown upon it and are punished as such. People have the right to free speech but if you are on private property, such as these forums, you are required to follow the rules of the property or asked to leave and the owner can enforce the rules as such.
Now lets really complicate matters and say that exact same message was sent to a 14 year old girl. Would the context of the message still have the same meaning? As a parent, if I saw that on a daughters account, I would be on a rampage and that account would be blocked and she would not be playing that game anymore.So the message carries the same weight no matter who it's targeted towards. You don't know who's sending the message, anonymity is a powerful thing.
As adult's our first thought was humor. It would be a much different situation to a virgin. Some things are impossible to judge because of the nature and use of the internet by all age groups and educational levels. What we see on the internet is only a sum of it's parts, both good and bad. That is the price we pay to join social media in general.
It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer. - Albert Einstein
