Only once. The player was saying some very racial slurs and whatnot. This was a long time ago.

I've reported someone before who was constantly saying bad words in PVP. Plus, i'm super sorry that that happened to you, Rose. I also play with my sister alot and it happens to us sometimes.

Does anyone think POTCO is losing is family based stuff becuase of this?

Tiberius Fireskull 03-25-2011 02:20 AM

I wouldn't say that its their fault. I mean, they have loads of players (I won't bother to throw out numbers) join every day. They can't go into each person's record, check school grades or jobs, and say "okay, they're good. The best they can do is try to ban the people that do bad things in game. Its hard to do what they do, and they can't filter out everyone.

I do believe I had to report someone for something recently. I think that they cursed using a slightly warped version so that they weren't saying the actual word. I hope POTCO has things that pick up on the warped versions as well as the actual curse words. Helps to keep the chat clean.

POTCO has no bad chat filters like free realms.
In freerealms, you can get through the char by saying your from another country, and then you can say cuss words just by adding or leaving out letters.
It got so bad one time, one of their " refs" or as we call them " GM's ". Had to get onto chat and ask people to stop doing that because they had a bad chat filter. just be glad POTCO isn't international like FreeRealms.

Sadly I have! I remember when I was hmm... level 25 and at that point I didn't care much about guides. I was in my friend's tribe (I do not know the "friend" in real life) and the next day I left it to make my own. I had left my friend's tribe many times before and no one told me anything. When my friend logged into POTCO he started going on about leaving the guide. So I told him I want to be back in his. And then he ignored me. I went to his server and found him. And then he said a swear word at me so I reported him. Anyways when I was walking away sad, we ran into each other. We stopped and looked at each other. Then I said "I'm sorry, will you forgive me?" and he replied ":) Sure, I am sorry for being mean to you!". And that is the end. He never got banned or kicked or anything like that.

For myself-No. It's a game & I am a toon so I either "ignore" or tp away. But, for my friends & guild mates-YES! The reason is simple-one never knows who is behind a toon in game. Words can be a mighty weapon & can hurt someone that is fragile in one way or another. We are all keepers of our own house-so to speak. Disney can't in reality oversee all the millions that play the game. So, I believe we must watch each other backs especially with the thought that there are young ones playing the game. Just my two cents worth-hope it makes sense.

Hello All! I haven't been on POTCO long but I've already encountered some rather well colorful types lol! I've only had one so far that really said something in a whisper that was totally over the line. I did warn them though what was about to happen if they did not stop, so in that I think I was being fair with giving them the opportunity to stop. My concern of course is that this same pirate might do this to a very young person. As with any game online I guess there will always be those that play to do nothing more than to harass others. Usually I just ignore them but if it goes over the line then I think we all should help to make it a safe for everyone especially our young pirate mates.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

I nearly reported a guy for calling me a noob. I read it saying that it would ban me if it wasnt for a good reason, so I didnt. This was a LONG time ago. Just about the birth of the word Noob.

The Skirata Clan 04-18-2011 11:53 PM

But you are quite the Noob Stealth.

charles gunfury 04-18-2011 11:57 PM

YEs truth be said i have * reported * people but not for swear words
It was during the last muertos moon and we was having very much fun but out of no where these people where using the Invinicble glitch * also known as the God GLitch * which i do not like to use that name for it but u prolly could tell why lol anyway that was the first time i ever had to report anyone.:skull: :skull: :skull:

WeirdBeard 04-24-2011 11:38 PM

I reported one person. He called someone a "Dip Wit" and then said this. He did not say a swear word, he just said * symbul. The guy i reported did: I was like oh ****. That kinda got me over the edge. He did lots of other things, but all i will list is those two.

James Sunsteel 04-24-2011 11:58 PM

Yeah I reported that guy too.

WeirdBeard 04-25-2011 12:01 AM

Aye, James was with me.
