In Response to Certain Matters

[Kat Five Knives]

I would come up with a procedure and have all members follow it ( just keep reminding them in guild chat)

A suggestion might be the following:

1. Do not respond to rude comments or remarks
2. If you speak at all, keep it positive
3. If it continues, take a screen shot, and THEN ignore or report
4. TP away.

They will eventually tire and stop. I hope Disney helps ya out too.

That's exactly what we do. Our members know that seeming to respond angrily to the one being rude is just fuel, and encourages them to keep going.

Either way, this is probably the worst case of griefing I've seen in my time of POTCO.

Got a response from Disney that said they'll take care of it. It was a little more personalized than most Misbehaving Persons reports, so I was satisfied.

I'll try to pass this on to the guild, Kat. Thanks for the advice! I'll admit that I responded to the griefers (Bad habit I Should learn to break, honestly), but I never try to insult them, just in case the mods do look over the reports. It's usually just responses to get them to say more bad stuff that will get them more likely to get banned. A lot of that happened with the incident the other day, and one of our Officers got screenshots that were subsequently sent to Disney. A few of our members, when we were discussing it in guild chat, said that we should just PVP them, win and be on our way, but that's never seemed like an ideal situation for me; If they win, they'll brag and grief some more, and if they lose, their pride will be hurt and they'll grief some more. It's lose lose.

Besides, it was rather amusing to hear my life story of being left on the side of the road as a baby.

Exactly, I was trying to say that PvPing them would only lead to MORE problems and escalate the tensions between us.

Not to go all "What if" on you, but what if it would be a tie? It would prove to be equal, no bragging, and no hurt pride...

eh, they would still find a ridiculous reason to keep greifing us.

Then they'll either say that they won, or that we did something stupid and they should have won. Either way, the grief continues.
