Sexual harrasment is a big problem....If i'm just generally standing about I get little idiots coming up to me a often

"f*ck me bi*ch"
"waow ur 18, show me your ****"
"flash me sexy"
*recieves blow job from misty*
"suck me bi*ch"
"gang bang"

you get the idea, and i reply sometimes and get
"ooo ur a fiesty little bi*tch", "horney little sl*ut" or "the h*e is gaggin for it"

I like to ignore it but the point is why should I? I should need to have to ignore it because its shouldn't happen. One dude made the mistake of sayin stuff will my boyf character was behind me and he got his ass kicked:D
Can't do that everytime, I just laugh at it now...If they are coming up to a computer game and sayin stuff like that they really need a life

We don't need to hear everything they say ;).

But IM me if they cause you problems, seriously.

...what could you do about it?

Give them a very hard time. One time a girl I knew was being sexually harassed on a messenger, so I investigated into the purpotrator and found out he was in fact over the age of 18, so I did a couple of things that I won't mention here and neither myself or the girl ever heard from him again.

Ah. Knight-In-Shining-Armor type of thing?

Nah, more like Detective Sipowicz from NYPD Blue. Bend the rules to reach the goal.

Sad, but true.


And yeah, it doesn't sound like the Christain thing to do.


As for In-Game punishments, Hey, yeah I like it. That's why my jail only passes time while people are online.

A Christian letting those things happen isn't a good Christian in my opinion, either.

When there are 10 pages about sexual harasment, you know something is wrong on graal. -_- Heck, Graal is wrong.:o

it isnt graal...it is the players

You guys are strange, how come I never have any of these types of problems? People don't so much as diss me x.X If they do I simply insult their intelegence, and leave them for 30 mins, while they try to figure out what exactly I said.

What pisses me off is when people steal/buy expensive scrolls after I stand somewhere for 5 mins and buy 13 plat scrolls.

Bottom line is there are many idiots out there (95%-98% of human population), deal with it.

So true. :(

Exactly.

In my opinion, that is better than doing nothing.

I've allready wrote a whole essay on the subject... and it was way better then yours ;)

It's kind of silly though I think, getting gung-ho over a game.

Some guy: Hey, your a hoe.
Girl: ... *grabs a heavy blunt object and prepares to teach the guy a lesson*
Zurk: Yo wts guy leave her alone. *turns into the hulk*
Protagonist guy: Hey you ***** i'll bust your knee-caps because two no's make a right.

:o

Everything except the last line, two nos don't make a right. They make sure more nos don't happen.

*writes down other scenario*
Girl trys to run from the harassers and she cant do it. She trys to take them off verbally... and she's too weak to do it physcially.

So she's being harasses nonstop when she is unable to do anything about it. So *smacks*

*kicks the bad guy's knee*

Re: Re: sexual harassment and general lack of respect
 

grr, talking about lack of respect >_<

It doesn't need to happen though. I would like to see less of the sexual harassment, etc.

There is none! BLAH!

For the heck of it let's all turn into Females on 2002 and harass guys, who harass girls!

I'm going to go do that. >:]

There is just one problem, they would like it. :rolleyes:
I can't really see what kind of joy a person can get for mentally annyoning females (and in some chases men :| ) It's the same as some people have make a defendless animal feal pain just to have fun. The respect for others lives is really low in the humans world right now ._.

Okay, for one, if they are calling you a hoe, I don't see how it's sexually insulting. A hoe is a garden tool.

Yeah, there is a lot of sexual insults thrown around on GK, but the fact of the matter is, it's definitely not one-sided. I've seen girls getting called le**ians, and guys getting called ga*s. I don't really see how one is worse than the other.

There is absolutely nothing in the game they can do to you that is so terrible that it could be called sexual harassment. Everybody gets harassed on Graal. Just because they are using sexual words, doesn't make it much different.

The fact of the matter is, it's harassment. Sexual or not, it's still harassment. There aren't really any GM's on that I know of. Tyhm is supposedly GM (although I could be wrong) but I only really see him working on things on the debug server. Stefan definitely doesn't spend his working time on GK, because he's busy working on things for GK.

I don't think having police staff would be good. Any low level staff position with a good amount of power will spread some corruption eventually.

I'm not saying this shouldn't be taken care of, because it should. The number one reason Graal's female population is so low, is because of the harassment. The second reason I'm guessing, would be that most things in the game revolve around, and are designed for, males.
