    I hope one of the mods or cm's can take care there quickly will be take care in this case.
    It can not be right a case as this should take several weeks like ordinary complaints for bugs and other small things.
    This is imo a case which is so serious, it must be handled as quickly as possible.

    Respect to SuperSpaceGirl and her co-op, you are all doing great in this case. :)

    Well the last time I reported my guy, he got disciplined the next day. Not sure what they did to him, but it made him pretty angry.

    Hopefully SuperSpaceGirl's gets resolved with the same speed.

    The only thing you could do (if people want to know the name) is to send a PM to those persons. Sorry but it is not allowed to "name and shame".

    Just keep reporting those persons to support with some print screens and all the information you have about those persons. I am sure they will look into it and do the right thing.
  • edited 24.06.2014
    Yeah That is what I thought, and that is what I have been doing, just sending the names to anyone who wants to know them.

    And yes I have reported this person with screen shots. So hopefully Support can take care of it soon.

    This is so rude!! No one should harass children. well no one should be harassed but especially children. I wish there were a way to shut this down after a while. the pranks can get out of hand for some people.

    I'm not really sure why there are pranks to begin with.
  • edited 24.06.2014
    I am fine with the pranks, I welcome them, since I get karma. And honestly if this person just pranked me, I would have been fine with that. But when the insulting message start, that is where I draw the line. And now that this person is targeting my co-op. Well that ticks me off a little bit. So I can only hope that it will stop soon.

    Hi Space, Wow, I am sorry to hear about the weird woes that have befallen you and your co-op :(

    Please PM me the info, IDK if I can help but, I will take a look around for you :)

    Well It appears this maybe over. I as well as some of my co-op members have received a message from what appears to be a sibling of the person who sent the insulting message to me and my members. The messages apologized for all of there sisters 'dumbness'. The message also said that I will not receive any more messages.

    I still would like for Support to ban this person IP address though, so then she can't do this to someone else in the future.

    But anyway, Thanks So Much to all of the wonderfully kind members of the forum and the game for all you Help and kind words of encouragement. I believe this is finally over. ^^

    You handled it exactly as you should have. You have no way of knowing if that person was some perv stalker or a kid just pranking you. You can't take chances on the internest.

    I really applaud your positive attitude, however. In this thread and any other one you've posted in that I have run across on these forums. That you're a teenager with such a great attitude is even more impressive.

    Fyi, multi-accounters will do this, hoping that you'll 'call off the dogs' and they won't get perma-banned. This is a well-known tactic. So it's good that you still want the IP blocked.

    I agree she really knows how to handle herself and she does it very well :D.

    Thank you amaprincess and maxiroy! I just try my best to be the best I can be. And part about being the best I can be is to be kind and not get easily upset. I guess I am just the kinda person that tries to find the good in everything. And if you take the time to look, you will find that there is some good in everything.

    And yes Wildcard I am aware that can be the case sometimes. And when I replied to the apology message I told the person that I have reported there 'sister' and that more then likely there IP will be banned from the game. The replied and said they understand.

    So yup all seems good, which I am so glad about. Now my co-op can back to our version of normal. ;)

    I want to know why these pranks are being sold and players are allowed to harass players with them! I am sick of it! they are allowed to show unsportsmanlike play in the missions by using the pranks on someone that is doing better than them and if you speak up and turn them in then you are targeted...I woke up to not one prank on my farm but 3 of them! one on each farm! I have blocked this player and this is still allowed! Support is still investigating and I am still being harassed!!! X(

    Gifts and pranks are part of the game. You can not block them, even it that makes you angry.

    Using pranks during missions is a taktic and perfectly allowed, but after new mission sistem, better use of gold is to skip production.
    If two gold users bump head on head maybe then (I do not use gold in missions so, I can not tell).
    Greater problem is when somebody is angry on you and harasses you constantly. There are many threads in forum started from players with similar problems.

    Good news is, for each prank, you gain a carma point. For three carma points (you already have them :)), you can by gift or prank yourself and use id od coop member (a gift, of course) of back on the same person (but mind that revenge is not a good strategy - it keeps going forever). So you are acctually buying pranks and gifts for his money.

    Also try this link as a good example as how to answer to harassments:
    example.
    That is best you can do.

    P.S. You are probably not pranked by a child, as pranks can only be bought by real money and children usually do not have to much money to spend.

    this is stupid if the person is blocked they should be blocked period! I know the game is making money on these pranks but they better stop and think they are letting players be harassed!
    It is like having a stalker in real life and you call the police and instead of helping the person being stalked they sell the stalker a shovel so they can come dig up your flowerbeds!

    There are lot of players with the same opinion, but unfortunately, there are no rumours that GGS is going to change anything about it.
    Maybe one day, who knows. For now, we are stuck with it. Have patience, many give up after some time. You can also write to support (link at the bottom of forum), but I doubt that they will do anything.

    That player will run out of pranks eventually. Just wait it out, and by the next time Naughty or Nice comes to town you will have been forgotten. Just don't let it bug you, and reap the benefits of collecting the Karma points.

    Try to keep your head up.

    I just turned my co op over to another member and sent a message to support to close my farm! I will not be harassed in real life and will not play a game where they help you harass another player!

    Naughty and nice is not fun and its not funny. Those who enjoy playing pranks should be able to choose to play that part of the game and the rest of us should be able to choose not to. We just lost our leader who is dealing with health issues over having been plagued by a prankster. This has got to stop

    Aaaaaand..... the prankster just won. Good job.

    Seriously? It just doesn't make any sense to me. I don't understand why somebody would leave the game just because somebody LOVES them enough to spend gold on them. Those pranks are to laugh at, not close accounts over. Laugh it off and collect your karma points, use them to buy gifts for your co-op members. Who is the child here???????????????

    To throw away a perfectly good level 109 account over a few pranks is baffling.

    Don't know if this the right place. But I want to place a Offical complaint about the use of the naughty & nice feature. You have a player that is using the naughty part to cheat on missions so that they win. Then they use it to harass a player on another farm. The person they are harassing is an older person with health issues that had blocked him & he is still able to play the pranks on her. She Was one of your best players, buying gold & building a coop. It finally got so bad that she quit the coop on account of the other player. I will tell U his name removed. Instead of buying land & building his farm, he or she would rather spend their money to harass other people. That is not what we play this game for. I am very dissapointed in yall . If a block won't stop a person then what is the use of the block in the first place. There are several people that wonder why you even have it in the game. I have never used it. Please do something about this abuse, its not right.

    Edit by PINJO: removed the name, no name and shame please

    It's sad to see people leaving the game because of this. I've never been pranked (touch wood) but I totally agree that it is something with too much potential for abuse and should not be in the game. I hope GGS will realize that they are losing players over this and remove the pranks, or at least introduce a feature that allows players to block pranks if they want to.
  • Pingo42Pingo42 Posts: 537

    Mawmah, I understand the frustration but you need to know that the forum has a strictly enforced policy of not allowing naming other people in this way. I would suggest you edit your post and remove the name before a staff member removes it for you.

    There are a number of threads about this, including another one that is active right now. I agree with you that the pranks can be very negative, and certainly someone who is dealing with health issues doesn't need any more stress. Some people can laugh it off, but it's not that easy when you're already under stress from health problems. I'm sorry you lost your co-op member and hope that she is going to be ok.

    Please, GGS, deal with this problem. Surely you don't want to lose players over this!

    I never played N or N because I still have no idea on how it works!!! But if someone wants to spend their gold on me then okay!! I have one or two of those Karma heads but now what??? rofl!!!
    Maybe to appease those people who do not like N or N there could be an ignore/block
    option on the main screen and that way people would not be able to be NICE or NAUGHTY to anyone!!
    Now to leave the game because of some silly insignificant prank is way too extreme..... no way would I have given any one that satisfaction. Perhaps a prank in return would have been a good idea!!

    I have to agree with you Pingo42 regarding this. I too, have been hit with pranks by this one player..and have become very frustrated with the pranks as a whole. I wish too that GGS would consider changing the pranks portion of the Naughty & Nice event..For now I just try to be the bigger person and collect my karma points from the pranks, and move on from there.. Very sad to see players go over this :(
