But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.

Well shit, I've made over 750 posts... which were the other few you didn't like? 🤔 2 There's a fine line between a numerator and a denominator but only a fraction of people understand that.

Certain RL politicians are drifting dangerously close to opinions explicitly condemned as "villains" in the City of Heroes. Seriously? Is this a joke or are you just looking for an argument? 33 minutes ago, Herotu said: In a gameworld where politics is SO entwined with it's story, you are certainly playing the wrong game if you desire neutrality. I expect people to conduct themselves as mature adults, unless they happen to not be an adult, and I will play any game I want with the same expectation. Thank you very much. Discussion of IRL politics in game is against the CoC. That should be an end of it. 3 1 You see a mousetrap? I see free cheese and a f$%^ing challenge.

I haven't read all your posts. I don't read the whole forums nor do I "follow" you. If I read them and I had an issue, I'm sure I would have posted something or picked thumbs-down. 1 If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore.

Yeah, no. 3 ..It only takes one Beanbag fan saying that they JRANGER it for the devs to revert it.

Whichever one of you said that the appropriate response is to report them is correct. To the best of our ability, we do try to shut down political conversations in general chat, and LFG, and Help, and so on if need be. With that being said, it should not surprise anyone that I am locking this thread. Ceterum censeo, Snarky esse eligendum. 7 8 2 "We need Widower.
