it may seem amazing or whatever, but i'm female and enjoy playing kdice. however along with other female players, i receive a lot of unwanted attention and abuse from having a picture of myself, not slutty, not erotic, just a picture of my face, as my icon.
i'm not overreacting here, trust me. i don't mind being told i look attractive. it's a compliment, right? too many in a day and it gets repetitive but, even so, it's no reason to complain. what i'm talking about here is moments like this, from maybe ten minutes ago. weedeater: i blow a loud all over the chich in the pick teal eramus: a loud? weedeater: load eramus: hrmm weedeater: lol weedeater: got excited weedeater: lol Sophalis: oh dear god. Sophalis: seriously. get a girlfriend or something weedeater: why weedeater: i can rub one out weedeater: looking at you yea.. i'm really fed up of guys thinking they can say things like that to me and other girls on here and get away with it. i'm not amazingly feminist but behaviour like that is disgusting and inappropriate. this is a dice game, not an internet chat room, and women should be able to play on here without sexual harrassment like the example i just quoted. i'd like to hear some opinions... thanks. |

Anyway, like I told Sophalis when I caught her on a table, it's unfortunate to run into rude and/or harassing players on Kdice. They tend to find their own level though - usually under 500 points for the month. I can say that all the ladies on Kdice are welcome to play at the upper limit tables without fear of harassment* based on gender :) *gender yes, everything else... your experience may vary ;) |

at 8:25 PM, Tuesday November 20, 2007 EST I have to comment that to tell somebody to basically stop playing kdice simply to avoid harrasment is rather unacceptable. With the number of tables available and the number of idiots out there, it'll be difficult to avoid tables with harrassing people
However, I agree that some form of reporting NEEDS to be done. The only way to fight this. Though, I think Ryan should start having some mods. As this game gets larger and more popular there will be more and more offensive individuals. |

at 9:00 PM, Tuesday November 20, 2007 EST nobody said to stop playing kdice specifically, I'm just saying with the way your suggestion sounded with avoiding the harrasment... it almost sounded like you were trying to say she should stop playing all together
thats just how I interpreted it |
