would it be possible to block in-game messages from people who are on your ignore list?
A case has recently been highlighted in the Only Chess forum where a player has bullied an opponent into resigning a position which was at worst a draw.
It only makes sense. Start a game against somebody, they start sending you pap, add them to your ignore list and play out the game in peace.

Originally posted by Very RustyThere has recently been a case of a paedophile who,after chatting to kids online, threatened to inform their parents of some incriminating piece of information he had obtained from them, unless they performed certain acts on their webcams.

I think that would count as bullying......fortunately he was caught and jailed but I expect there's plenty more of them around the internet.

Originally posted by ExpressiveOutburstYes, he was trying to make to make a point about bullying is all. I think if kids on the internet they should be very closely watched, so those things he mentioned do not occur. Problem is the computer has become a babysitter, in many a family!!

What we had been talking about was someone being able to bully someone into resigning. Personally I couldn't see how that could happen!!

This particular person just wanted to enjoy a nice game of chess, and decided to resign rather than continue having to put up with his opponent's shyte.
Bullying doesn't have to be physical, nor ultra abusive (3c) in my opinion.

Originally posted by RagnorakI would much rather get a screen shot of it and send it on to Admin. Then try and beat "this particular person" on the chess board!! I guess we all have our own way of doing things. Be a weird world if we all did the same I suppose !! I just wouldn't give him/her the satisfaction of resigning!

Originally posted by Dr StrangeloveOh...I didn't know they could actually do that!! Guess the screen shot would be a waste of time then huh?...I think I would take one just to be on the safe side. These forums are informative!!
No need - I think admins could read your in-game messages if they wanted [prolly only happen if you asked them to though]
