Many of us are waiting patiently for Tickets to close, This is our patient demeanor. For the lutz..

Ahhh, the proverbial "Video or it did not happen" scenario. The OP provided no information , concerning the alleged inflammatory symbol... No Sir... I was NOT introducing a possible scenario.... and no, I do not believe as of yet, in the history of APB, that ANYONE, would have even thought of wearing a German uniform with a Swastika. God strike me dead with lightning .... WTF ??

Yes, otherwise @JudgeAnderson , you will be held accountable. lol

Ahh, I hear ya, yeah, California is a mess. And you outlined their governmental leadership, or lack thereof (both federal,state and local) pretty accurately. I's kind of sad. I had visited San Fransisco a few times many years ago, beautiful city back then, now, it's literally gone to sh*t. (literally... in the streets) With the severe water restrictions in most areas, I always wondered why they never built 1 or 2 desalination plants. (they're right on the ocean .. lol) But given their mismanagement of state's budgets, I suppose it's no wonder. Sorry to to hear this. EDIT: I hope you're not near any of the wildfires there, and that you and loved ones are safe.

Huh ? I'm still trying to understand, so you're one up on me. I had added an edit to my comment previously concerning "walking a fine line", which might clear things up. A player who wears a German uniform with a backwards Swastika or displays that symbol on their vehicle, a Japanese symbol as you had pointed out, are they considered as someone "walking a fine line". Is that player trying to provoke a response ? Do they have a specific agenda in mind ? Or they just love Japanese culture. One can only guess what that players true intentions are.

Not sure. Although I would not put it past some players to "walk a fine line" with regards to controversial symbols. Wouldn't be the first time. If the player used the Buddhist symbol on a German Nazi uniform, then you could guess that they were trying to push the envelope as it were.

Per the tilte of this thread "nazi flag turned backwards on jehrico player not banned" So the German Swastika although the player had the image turned backwards. EDIT: I thought I should add, that if you check out the weapon skins available on ARMAS, there are quite a few country weapon skins, including the United States. But no Swastika weapon skins are available. Another interesting note, the Trump mask does not appear to be available anymore, although the Richard Nixon mask is still there. One can assume that the Trump mask was so popular, that their inventory just ran out, and they decided not to replenish the stock. Have a great day.

That's the problem, how do you come up with a legal definition? What metric can be used to quantify one's statement other than someone's feelings as a form of measurement. Huh ?

Although certain symbols are not allowed, such as Swastika symbols, which really is a no brainer, hate speech, which appears to be a bannable offence, is extremely subjective. Interestingly enough, there is no legal definition in the US for hate speech. I think that the UK does have laws against hate speech, not sure how that works. As far as online games it's obviously up to the discretion of the company to determine the level of toxicity that might warrant disciplinary action. I personally don't know how to define or even recognize hate speech, and it's not for a lack of trying. It's just that, what might offend you does necessarily offend me. I get some pretty colorful whispers, but I am not personally offended where someone else might be. I still have much to learn.

All you can do, is take a snapshot, and Submit a ticket to Support. Hey, if you can add a bit of composition in the photo, you know, some background in the final shot. Thanks. Support is currently dealing with a multitude of tickets. How they say "Your ticket will be processed in the order that it was received" Best of luck.

Again, we do not have enough information concerning the OP's issue with harassment, so kind of difficult to advise. I am curious what went wrong with submitting a support ticket. Curious indeed. EDIT: In my previous post I had mentioned "Take a break from the game for 10min (AFK, DND)" Some newer players might not know how to implement DND (my preference) DND - Do Not Disturb can be implemented using /dnd in the chat box To undo this, type /dnd again Or, you can leave the game for a few months like @Saxtus but that is a little extreme.

Not sure what type of harassment you are referring to, as you did not provide any details. Haven't checked the EULA recently to see what LO's description of harassment is, but I'm guessing that harassment can come in two different flavors. 1) In game Whispers 2) In game actions , such as ghosting you in a mission, crashing into your vehicle repeatable while on a mission or outside of a mission ... etc ... Racial symbols, I would think falls into a topic all it's own, and not individual harassment. As far as Whispers, others have said the quickest and easiest way is to just add the player to your "ignore list" he go on with different characters to keep harassing I suppose you could ignore those too. Me, I never ignore anyone, and in the past, and even till this day, get an occasional attempts of harassment. They all fail sadly. It's entertainment for me. My obnoxious behavior in game may be a factor. I had one guy who initially whispered some smack talk "you f***en noob, you suck, uninstall the game now" Well,I won't get into the entertaining part of the back and forth, but let me just say that after 30min, he was like "DUDE, stop f***en msg'ing me". lol Never heard from this guy again. /sniff/ As far as in game actions , car ramming during a mission, and less of a headache, out of a mission; 1) Record video to submit a support ticket. 2) Take a break from the game for 10min (AFK, DND) 3) Go to a different district 3) Create a mini game out of it and let him chase you around the map and honk at him when he crashes... haha Anyways, good luck to you OP, you are not alone, and yes, there is hope. EDIT: Haha, I had to add, one guy had whispered me one time, that he was planning on having carnal relations with my Mother, (he used a few colorful metaphors in his whisper) I told him that his interest was a bit odd, as my Mother had passed and was cremated, but if you're still up for the challenge, God Speed. Anyways, you get the idea.

errm, a little late responding, but thanks for the link. This is great.

I will never do that again. ..

It might be because of ...

Matt, If you can give the Jericho players, a "Thumbs UP", when Jericho is up & running, that would be great ... Thanks.

At least we know now ...... My game crashed 4 times this evening . I did not know why ....

This company, already laid down the "rule".. "above the chest" - Yes "below the waist" - No EzPz.... We should be done. Let's move on.....

Yes , we must allow GM's to run rampant, and make up rules of the game, as we go along. THIS, would be the best play by far ... Here..here..

peanus & vags must be contained for hygienical reasons. But we still have thongs.

Apparently, the question of "nipple exposure" has already been answered by @MattScott So, as far as GM-zeroxthirtynine, it comes down to a training issue, nothing more. It might be helpful afterwards if LO were to instruct this uninformed GM to contact the "female character" personally in game, that they were incorrect in their communication to them concerning nipple display, otherwise , those players on citadel, may never see this player's nipples again. Personally, I really don't care. The game is 18+ I have yet to see one nipple on Jericho, sad to say.

I'm not familiar with that Weapon, do you mean the "Joker TAS20 JT1" which has IR3 ? (according to the APBDB)

Well, to be completely forthright, I personally, have not been monetarily affected by the IR3 changes. The only weapon that I have purchased with the IR3 mod is the OBIR "Vladivostok". Although I have not used the weapon recently, my assumptions are, that being a long range weapon, and a semi-auto w/ 3 round bursts, I can't see there being a huge difference. The only weapon that I can think of that's in my in inventory that was affected, was the Joker CR-5 PR2 ( a short to mid range weap ), that was kindly gifted to me by G1. I am assuming because of my continued loyalty, support and dedication to the game. But yes, "A hard lesson to be sure, but at least we have all learned" God Bless you Brother...

Yeah, I think asking for a refund on a preset gun that you bought months/years ago is a stretch, but I definitely understand the level of dissatisfaction.

I currently have a Joker CR-5 PR2 The preset mods include Hunting Sight 3 and Improved Rifling 3 Prior to the IR3 changes, this gun was deffinetly my "go to" gun for short/mid range combat. Because of the ( what I consider to be an extreme ) slower fire rate of IR3, it is no longer adequate at short range, and only "meh" at mid range. The gun never really was a contender at long range, and even with the changes to IR3, it still is not a contender for long range. So the gun is useless for my style of gameplay. I'm guessing the changes that were made to IR3 were an attempt at addressing perceived issues with NTEC's, and this global change of IR3 was the simplest way of doing it. Unfortunately, a lot of guns with the IR3 preset, in my opinion ( and apparently quite a few others players ), that were not necessarily designed for range, ended up being ineffective at all ranges. Yes, we do not technically "own" these guns. ( digital content ) But I think that the lessons learned from this experience will be a huge incentive to never ever buy a preset weapon again on the Marketplace, not with the risk of a weapons mod characteristics changing later on down the road. Haha, I still remember G1 releasing new preset weapons on ARMAS that were definitely OP. Sales of those guns skyrocketed, only to be nerfed several months later. But they nerfed the individual guns, not the mods on the guns, which would have a global effect. Buying an open slot weapon at least gives the consumer the ability to adapt to mod changes in the future. I guessing one problem is, that there are quite a few preset weapons to purchase, and are only available as presets, which in essence, puts these preset weapons at risk of every really selling.
