    Default Sexual Harrasment on the Playing Field

    I am posting this here as staff and players alike seem to think this sort of treatment is allowable and in fact seem to encourage it by their lack of response.

    (Edited sexual harassment claim comment)

    To those that had the power to make things right, I hope you are ashamed of your inaction.

    I will be leaving soon and I don't expect to come back. Thank you Evony team for showing what a waste of money and time this game really is. I hope in future you take your staff job seriously.

    You ought not publish that language to the forum, though this is very serious. What have you done to try and get this resolved?

    I have repeatedly sent in reports of abuse only not once did it go through, I even messaged the Evony team as a whole without being public about it. It has been weeks with nothing done and so now I post it for everyone to see. I apologize to the younger players that may be viewing this but again, it is such behavior that I have disallowed my own son to play as much as he wanted to.

    PM Dawnseeker or Valkirah about this if you haven't already.

    Default Thoughts on this sort of harassment



    I personally think that these sorts of comments should merit immediate punishment. Trash-talking is understood to be a part of the game, but this goes way beyond the pale. I honestly think this sort of repeated abuse should be met with one solution. (and this was repeated abuse...this was just the last of a series of insults) That guy should log in one day and find his account reset to 0. If he flames anyone in the same manner again, he should have his IP blocked from the evony servers. If I could add a poll on this, I would. Aithne? Maybe you can add such a poll to your thread. I have a feeling it would be met with an overwhelming yes vote.

    I agree with Kaibert, this went way beyond the pale, beyond trash talk and I am very suprised that Evony have not stepped on it, as they allow children to play the game.

    Vulgar albeit funny remark. The picture below gives you a hint.

    Here's my concern.......my concern is that since this game does not provide an age limit or any other barrier to either chlid players or obscene abusive language....it then is culpable via emerging international laws.

    The majority of nations involved with this game have strong laws against the abuse of children. This language, placed intentionally in the viewing path of the general public, demonstrates the intent of the writer to expose children to the content. It will not stand in any court of law that I know of, including The Hague, that the writer didn't 'mean' to hurt a child.....but it was in world chat.....and ignorance can not be supported.

    I too have been victimized by That guy's verbal abuse. I too am giving this last chance to see evidence that the management will protect my legal right to be protected from a recurrence of the victimization.

    I appreciate that the above may be a bit technical for some....so, in summary, Murdoch has broken international law regarding the abuse of children. As a Social Worker who has worked in the global arena, I will consider any recurrence an invitation to do what I am ethically bound to do....make a report.

    This is one of those times when "it's only a game" fails to be a reason to hide from one's feduciary responsiblities.

    I have been harassed in whispers before *cough* OMMITTED *cough*... never the type or to the level of what duck did though.

    But whispers and world chat are two completely different things and that did go far beyond normal game trash talk.

    Edit: The name I wrote was ommitted but I hope you all can figure it out
