Is the act of boxing someone in, for no reason at all other than we can, considered harassment?

Is this similar to 'bumping' in eve? Where the simple act of is not punishable but repeated intentional griefing of a single player for an extended period of time is?

Ok guys, this is getting a bit out of hand so I would like to reiterate what has already been said:

Harassment will not be tolerated. Feel free to report anything to [email protected]. We will investigate the issue further and take appropriate actions.

I would also like to mention that Harassment is perceived differently by different people. Something that I find offensive might not be offensive to someone else and as such some consideration, to a certain degree, should be taken into account when such instance occurs.

DUST 514 is a single shard MMO FPS and we want a friendly, united community but let's face it, in this day and age of the internet, there will always be someone to ruin the fun for everyone else!

I try to block anyone I see actually walking around just for kickes. I dont care what the gender their clone might be.

Yeah if someone is stupid enough to do it on chat or voice they deserve to punished. What he is saying that what CCP Eterne said leaves a big gapping hole.

Sexual Harassment should be defined. It is not.

For example;- If I teabag someone be it a guy or girl does that count as sexual harassment? Gamers forever have been teabagging other gamers.

And if someone really has aproblem with another person they could always block them. Its simple.

Seems too sexist to me.

If getting boxed in is the "real" issue at hand... that's really immature to get mad about. Ya its annoying when it happens, but seriously. I cant believe anyone would think its such a huge problem that it needs to be addressed.

If that legitimately makes you mad, then you deserve it because you are probably not old enough to play this game anyways.

how creepy do you have to be to box in a character because its female? If you have to ask, you are in the wrong.

I'm just going to say this: Most women fed up with this behavior have tried, many, many times, to ask (or told) guys to stop harassing them. Most of the time it results in MORE harassment. Very, very rarely will a guy stop because their target asked them to; it is a challenge to them to be worse.

You can say "keep trying and someone will eventually stop" but when the normal response is to be worse...is the remote possibility of getting it to stop really better than all the extra harassment received?

And...why is it on the woman to get them to stop? What about all the guys that sit there and say nothing?

Fighting viciously with someone though doesn't really produce a long lasting result either. It is only a short term solution. And in all honesty, imposing your will upon someone only produces a situation where the the individual that was imposed upon only seeks those opportunities to escape the imposition of unwanted regimentation.

So be careful on how you begin to approach a problem and devise your solution. By actively interacting and engaging the perpetrator of the offense with a more compassionate stance, you will be able to educate them to the pain their action brings. It is not about it being the responsibility of either just the man or the woman, rather it is the responsibility of both in helping create a more equitable social situation.

Attacking my perceptions and view points are not winning you or anyone else brownie points. I am just offering you an alternative.

You seem to assume that men have never dealt with harassment nor will they ever get the chance to be harassed therefore there is no possible way they can know anything about this subject.

Sorry but you're wrong.

So please, stop the man hate. That's all.

So its OK...for men to hate on women...but not OK...for women to hate on men?

Makes sense...

And where exactly did I imply that?

Sexual harassment is not ok under any circumstance, and i doubt anyone would disagree with that statement.

Then, why do you keep implying that it is not a problem in game and saying that women need to stop complaining about it?

Again, where exactly did I ever imply that?

Dismissing posts as "wall of texts".

Not answering questions directed at you, but brushing them aside with irrelevant topics. Saying to "stop the man hate"

I've got to agree with you on some level. The childish babble that comes along with playing an online fps is probably the worst part of the game, with all due respect to the work that has been put into this title of course.

Two things, CCP has put in a block and a mute feature. That's how you get rid of those sexist bastards. That's about all they can do. I do agree that we need a way of reporting inappropriate names though. Like there was a guy's name who was just a racial slur. Not cool.

First off, it's bad enough just having a female avatar having people follow you around going "OMG your character has [mammary glands] ! i better stare at them as much I can right now, 'cuz no woman would ever let me do that in real-life." If you try and walk away they just hound you down during the entire time you're waiting on the bridge before the match starts.
God forbid if I actually speak aloud to a squadmate, who then thinks he's allowed all manner of hate-speech imaginable for the insufferable nature of having a woman on his squad..

I'd rather not have the bridge that have people chase me every single game, then hear such wonderful things when I join a match without people I know. There needs to be a way to report these actions and to prevent them
