I just wanted to get this off my chest... earlier todays I was hanging out in Ficho Tunnel with a friend, and a bunch of trolls started making rude jokes about sexuality. I don't know about you, but I'm sensitive to those topics from friends/family, and I don't think they should be discussed in public. I didn't report them, because they technically weren't breaking any rules, but still, it's offensive to some people, and inappropriate for younger players.
Then this is where it gets bad. It was getting a bit unnerving, so I politely asked them if they could talk in a private map or chat, but then they went through the whole "Why should I, idiot?" thing, and I replied that it could be offensive or inappropriate for some players, but then they started cursing and calling me stupid.
I mean, come on! All I did was ask if you could keep their mature discussion away from a public map full of kids.
I just needed to get this out of my system, but what do you think about this?

I too agree that people shouldn't be talking about mature topics in local on public maps. They should either whisper or make a party, or even flee into private maps. When asking them to stop and they come off rude, then block them and/or even report them if they begin swearing or doing anything else that's breaking the rules

- Keep Appropriate Language And Behavior
This game is aimed towards a wide user-base of all ages and therefore you must keep the language and other behavior to an appropriate level that works for everyone. Swearing inside of the public chats is NOT allowed or encouraged by anyone. Even if you censor your writings and they still represent an obvious curse/swear you might get warned/kicked/banned instantly upon notice, this is because we want to keep FeralHeart a friendly place for the majority. Users are also expected to keep any actions representing any sexual behavior such as mating/raping(Buttswinging over another character) AWAY from public maps, ignoring this rule can result in a permanent ban.
- Respect Each Other
If you are caught Harassing and/or threatening other players inside the game it can result in a warning/kick/ban all depending on the severity of the case, having conflicts or arguments is one thing but personally attacking users with hurtful, racist and/or offensive language within the game will not be tolerated. FeralHeart has a wide user-base and a lot of different users log on every day to play the game. As a member of the game you should be polite to everyone no matter which age, gender or views they might have. If there's a problem within the game, block/ignore the users instead attacking each other for various reasons, possibly post a report to the Mods and Admins here on the forum if seen needed.
In other words, ye' could very well have reported 'em, ma'dam. If they were bein' hostile towards ye', bullyin' and pickin' on ye', especially since they swore 'n whatnot, ye' should have captured those screenshots then block 'em afterwards. Ye' need not be hesitant on reports for as long as ye' deem a user's actions to be unnecessary, the staff team shall look into the matter. It's individuals like these who give FeralHeart a bad rep and as long as they're gonna be ignorant towards the rules well established here clear as crystal, we certainly do not want them ruinin' the fun for other players.

Well, like I said, I decided not to report them, since it wasn't really rulebreaking until they started cursing, and there was a lot of them, thus hard to get all of them and report them. I did manage to get one screenshot of the "head honcho" of the insults, and I'll send a report right now. Anyway, I'm glad other people agree with this.
-
I agree, a lot of people talk about things they perhaps shouldn't bring up in local etc.
It seems they don't usually think about the circumstances of having others around.
It's a shame at times, to see people show so little respect around others.
Then again, that's what kids are like. (Not just kids. But a main part of them may be kids.)
However, it's the same all over the world. :I
They think irrationally, and just focus on what they think should be right.
Teenagers are also known to be little rebels. xD
I remember when I was younger, think rules was something I enjoyed following?
Just take the time to report this kind of behaviour as you mentioned above.
People can't learn from circumstances if there are none.

I think discussing Inpropriate topics in public maps should be allowed AS LONG people talk about it in a mature and polite manner, and if asked to take it to whisper or party chat for whatever reason they should obey. It's going to fairly obvious if a troll is well trolling.
-
I agree completely. If members choose to have a mature conversation they should do so privately so they do not offend any other players. If I was in that situation ,I would be pretty offended as my sexuality is a very important thing to me. I don't get why some members have the need to be rude after being kindly asked to talk elsewhere or just stop, it doesn't make any sense.
-
That is not right to happen. I dislike when members see it perfectly okay to speak like that in open chats. It is wrong and inappropriate let alone it is also against the rules. I am so sorry you had to see that. I hope they got lectured for being that way.
-
I dislike seeing this happen in game. And even when you warn the user of the consequences, they just shout "I DO WHAT I WANT, JERK" it's rude and they're just ticking off everyone in the map. But, I suppose that's just the purpose of trolls, eh?
-
You all make excellent points... but the worst thing is when they STAY there, 24/7 and keep harassing anyone and everyone. I mean, I hope that those guys have read this thread, or the game rules, or something like that and stop being rude/offensive.
EDIT: I just noticed that I'm stalking my own thread.:D
-
Personally I think they have the right to have the freedom to talk about almost anything in game, but they should definitely respect this ability and use the proper chats (group/party for the worse things). I find it irritable that they'd actually call you an idiot for being so nice. Its people like that who make the community worse.
-
You know, I have a charrie named Gray, and she is a lion cub, well she is grey like her name says, but everyone keeps saying "It's too unrealistic" And it hurts my feelings badly! I feel like we have to get rid of that stuff, cuz what's feral heart for? Creative ppl... and it was fun until the ppl made fun of my charries being so unrealistic, so I definatly agree, but I also got swore at to leave someone's "Territory", but didn't catch a screenshot to report.

I don't and here is why: Not everyone is willing to take the chance to politely say to stop because of the possibility of people starting to troll or insult the person/people that are requesting they stop. Or they indirectly harass by continuing the offensive topic and further making those around them irritated or offended.
Certain topics that are a bit more mature -SHOULD- be kept to private chats to stop the risk of people becoming offended.
However, not everyone sees eye to eye with how important it is to keep these topics off the public chats. So, topics that ARE offensive should be reported without question, especially if the conversation hits some key parts that are sure to be offensive.
Edit because I just saw this oops:

In the gaming world players are to follow all rules of the game they play, if certain topics are against the rules or flagged as content that fits into a rule breaking category then they will get consequences handed to them as it should be. Basically it should not be posted in public chats where problems could occur, but there's nothing against private chats.

I agree with Owly. Discussion of such topics is against the rules, yes I said it. People can become easily offended, discusted, or just down right disturbed by content users could be discussing, this being the reason the staff dislike such conversation. Public maps are a different story from private or closed ones.
I don't think you should be able to discuss the inappropriate content, since younger users still use this forum and game, and parents can become very cautious and protective if they see that stuff guys.. Its just easier to keep it clean around here right? C:

I couldn't have said it better myself. Public maps are places everyone can go, private chats and private maps are more controlled. So long as they're not being used for over the line vulgar content, I don't see the problem in it. Unless of course rules of the private map prohibit certain topics. You know, but if it's your OWN map, discussion topics that may be more adult are fine to discuss. That's where own discression is advised.
