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. |

I dont think it would matter how many there were. He could simply set up a thinggy where the number of reportsan offensive person gets (by different ppl) would put that person on the top of the list and automatically mute the top 5 harrassers reported each month or something. |

at 1:49 PM, Wednesday November 21, 2007 EST People, if you are going to insult others 1) Spell right and 2) don't be hypocritical, that winds me up to no end and makes you look very stupid.
I think Zosod is taking the piss, be it a cleverer way to belittle the ideas behind this thread, still. I did check out the top 10 though. Moderating is a pretty good idea. It has worked very well in other places i have been though moderators need to be moderated and i suppose thats down to Ryan which might put too much work into this. I support either way. If anything being a moderator should involve having to sign up with a possible CV/letter style. And, what an elborate plan by Sophalis, actually a guy pretending to be a girl, didn't see that one comming, don't give up the day job love. She is obviously female, well i've met her so i might know better than most of you. lesplaydices gets the award for the funniest comment. |

at 9:42 PM, Wednesday November 21, 2007 EST Generally speaking...if someone is harassing you on here it's because that's the only thing they have control of if you are crushing them at kdice. So when this happens I find the old saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" comes in real handy.

at 12:43 AM, Thursday November 22, 2007 EST Hm. So my two cents worth:
I’m glad that someone actually brought this up because I thought that it was time to be addressed. 1) Yes, that really is Sophalis. I’m pretty disgusted at a lot of the responses here. Yes, you can say that it’s “freedom of speech†or whatever the hell you want to call it. Half the shit that gets said to the girls in this game is bullshit. Sophie or Dicey could beat almost all of the players in this game. Zosod, I’m not quite sure why you’re trying to make a joke of this post, but you’re not taking it very seriously. I think you’re just bitter because no one would ever find your avitar attractive… And Stacy sexually harasses me online all the time, so Zatz is right that it goes both ways. And I would never throw a game to Sophie because she’s a girl, and I’d certainly never let her get over 1k points…because then she’d be better than 95% of the people who play… Oh wait… Next, “Because it's free, the average age is much lower than you'd get in a paid for game. Hence the intelligence level is lower…†ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Sophie is 19 and she put together one of the most intelligent, logically-driven, and coherent arguments on the forum in a long time. I have had some of the most intelligent conversations of my life on kdice, chatting with people. If you think people aren’t intelligent, have a chat with Wicked, integral, X LUCK X, Dicey, Spygo, Dasfury, or Vermont. Sophie brings up a legitimate point, and it seems like most people are just brushing her off. She made a good argument; it’s a goddamn game people. Don’t be assholes. |
