The correct action would be to contact the people in #warzone2100-dev, since that is where the people who have access to do anything can help you.

I would also logged any and all harassment and also post the person's IP address when you gather the evidence.

As lav said, you need to be more specific, and on the IRC if your "Knossos" you have acted up as well. If it's on the forum you can add people to an ignore list in "User Control Panel".

Nothing can really be done about this, we can have a chat with him in the IRC if things really get out of hand, but just don't play with him it's that simple.

Well you better, he just doesnt leave me alone, No One Helps me it makes me feel really depressed on Warzone. The Only Resion I "bite" alot is because of the rough past I'v had on EvE Online, Sins of a Solar Empire, Homeworld 2, Xfire: Its pretty strainful on the good old Self Estime, Aparently Most of you people cant even understand that and some just cruly pick on me. Examples of People follow:

Dylan_Hsu
General
Dust
and I believe more that I cant think off the top of my head

its annoying, If you cant understand that then I dont know what the hell is wrong with you people. I'v been able to absorb Such Hate for 2 Full Years and now Im beging to Crack from it. You better do something or eventualy I'll break apart

Hello Knossos117

They "feed" on how you react to them. Just ignore bullies, they usually get bored when you don't react and then they get tired of it eventually.

The trick is to not let them get to you :)

Why don't you spend some time on the forum when it gets unbearable over there. There's a lot of civilized talk going on around here. At least we try to. :D

See you around buddy.

If you're hosting a game, you can kick them.

If you join a game they host, you can leave.

If you join a game someone else is hosting that you participate in, you can ask the host to ban them.

There's really no other action that we can take, if the harrassment isn't happening in the forum or on IRC. Once you join a game, we don't control it anymore, the host does.

There is more that can be done.
When you kick people from a game that information is in your logs, just post the IP here, and the mods can lookup who that person is.
Then the mods can warn the users, and then if they keep it up, ban them.

I think what Zarel is trying to say is that the project staff have no jurisdiction in MP games. Even if it's possible for them to do something, they won't. The MP hosted game is run by the host, and if Knossos117 needs to complain to someone, it should be directed towards the host of the game.

The problematic users usually aren't forum members, so it's not like banning them from the forums will make a difference.
