Problem with an abusive player

Postby crx » 07 Aug 2017, 18:10

Hi FAF,
im new to this community and i have a problem with an abusive player. At the moment Iam at rating "-100" to "0" so yes, im a noob. And mostly i join games titled "noobs only" like that.

Yesterday i had a bad experience in game in wich player named DELETED was calling me asshole, dickhead, idiot and things like that. I ignored him in chat. Then he began to reclaim one of my full health experimental unit. Then he ctrl+k his commander but stayed in the game to insult me further.
Some time later i watched some of his replay and he is acting the same in other games..

Now my questions:
1) Is there a etiquette like rule to not insult other players? If yes where do I report such people?
2) Is it possible to block/ignore chat messages of a particular person ingame?

Im OK with "he wasnt a good teammate" "hes a noob" "build this!" build there!" etc. I know im a bad noob. I watch youtube videos from brinkofinsanity, reading the wiki over and over. I even watch replays. But i need some time to learn. And this insulting guy makes me angry instead of eager for knowledge.

Thank you for reading
Cyroex

rules
report form
right click on the username in the aeolus chat userlist and click on add foe -> will mute him in the IRC for you and mark lobbies he is in so you can avoid joining them
there is a small symbol to open an option menu for the chat window right next to the button that closes the ingame chat window where you can mute players in game
