sexual harrassment on kdice.

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.

- Add a /report command: as noted, Ryan would get flooded with reports, real and imagined.

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.

Yeah, I know what it's like when you have your pic as your avatar and guys get all horny and excited about it. It can be annoying but if you got it, you gotta show it. That's my philosophy, and that's why I kept my picture.

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.

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.

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.
