*EDIT: the comments I received were directed towards my picture on PSN and my profile where I labeled myself as a mom gamer. The harassment was sexual and uncalled for. I have reported, blocked and submitted a grief report to PSN. Thank you for the advice, I was not the only one harassed and by posting those people were able to reach out to me. I will not be responding to anymore comments.

Og message:
I just received multiple hate messages from the someone on the opposing team and they then proceeded to target me. Even after I left I received hate messages. I am a mediocre female player and they literally just chased me out of Iron Banner.
I've dealt with jokes on occasion but never fully on hate as a female player. I'm not sure what to do, I feel the "unfriendly " report isn't good enough.

Maybe it's cuz u use thorn
-
Just change your message settings to friends only.
-
Wait...you have your real picture on PSN visible to public and not friends only? You recognize this is the internet right?
-
If its actual harassment then report to Playstation. If you have proof they will ban. Ahhhhh it makes me feel warm and bubbly thinking about how some assholes will have hundreds of there play hours invalidated.
-
:O/ sorry. I'd say "boys will be boys," but thats no excuse. I just hope that ladies like you will make online gaming better for my little girl when/if she games. chin up Guardian. send them home crying.

You can name check them, just google their psn ID and maybe find out their real name, then find their mothers and tell them. Get their little shiit asses whupped
-
The crucible is no place for mercy.. Jk that's pretty bad .. I'll bump this one fir you
-
Ignore them just get better than them and crush them
-
People are gonna be dicks sadly. I usually just send a message back and then they shut up but if that doesn't flow with you then just ignore if you can...
-
SHUT UP, MOM!! SILENCE FROM YOU!
-

-

Edited by koolaidman565: 7/30/2015 3:52:58 PMJust ignore it. They are probably sitting in their basement eating Dewritos and harassing their mom too.

What do u mean mediocre female? Are your PVP skills average or are u referring to your looks? I went 0.5 on my first IB game yesterday and got hate mail from some guy on my team cus we lost. Next match I was on the other team and proceeded to wreck and ended with a 3.4 KD, T Bagging that guy several time. I got the last laugh :) Hate mail is part of the game. Block and report them if it gets to be too much for u.
-
Are you in the team chat channel? I [i][b]NEVER[/b][/i] go on there with random players. I only chat/party with an actual friend/group of friends. I have never gotten hate mail. People have a lot of guts...when they are anonymous.

Edited by TactualAbyss: 7/30/2015 4:39:00 PMSeriously someone comes to vent frustration to the community and then gets bashed for it. Come on people this is ridiculous.
-
There's a difference between hate mail and targeting in game and straight up harassment.
-
I was playing skirmish agaisnt 3 female gamers yesterday. 1V3 they keep tbaging me after every kill they got on me all i did is lmao hahahahaha.
-
If you think it's cyber harassment your wrong and why are you complaining about this like turn your console off lol like just close your eyes XD.
-
You should set your profile to private so only friends can see it. I would if I was you maybe change your pic and name on the PS network. I know it's a shame but it's the world we live in. All the pervs out there who can't get a woman in real life I mean look at all the post of the nerds about the Queen in the reef.
-
I honestly wouldn't give a shit...just keep playing and ignore em....they are being low life pieces of shit...just ignore em
-
You could deal with it like an adult and ignore the losers.
-
If you are 100% SURE that they could see your profile picture and the "gamer mom" id, call sony's customer support and file a complaint
-
You could just delete their messages
-
You could make your profile visible to friends only and I think that would prevent you from getting messages from strangers, which kinda makes it hard to make new friends... You can also use the PSN reporting process if you think the comments are of a nature that you consider such escalation of the matter to be warranted... People can be very cruel and many of the people playing this game are literally uneducated, ill-mannered, unsupervised children that will not understand respect and/or discipline until they complete their first couple of prison sentences later in life!

It's a video game. If you're getting harassed then block them. Don't make female gamers look pathetic and weak. Handle your own problems there drama queen.
