Petition to make saying "gg" a reportable offense.

According to a Moderator, "gg ez" is a reportable offense.

"No worries; we already do.

There are -- and maybe always will be -- players who don't think saying things like "gg ez" (or similar variations) is offensive. Not a lot of players, but it still happens. Otherwise this thread probably wouldn't exist.

If you find a player's poor use of chat is creating a poor experience for you, you still have the option of reporting them at the end of the game. Even with the Tribunal being down we're still using all of the reports that come in.

Hope this helps!" - Slumber Jack

Well let me tell you something, I'm really uncomfortable when someone says "gg" and I didn't have a good game. Sometimes it makes me rage and punch a window. I've broken like three windows by now.

PLEASE allow "gg" to be a reportable offense so we can get these SHITTY human beings out of the game. That is not sportsmanlike to make me upset like that.

Thanks.

PS. It doesn't matter if it isn't toxic, it is still insulting to me personally and my heritage! I am not raised this way. I think players say it to insult me because they know i lost!!!

"GG" isn't offensive. "GG ez" is offensive. If it was my choice, I would only make "GG ez" a reportable offence, not "GG".

But what if I didn't have a good game? That's insulting to me, it's like they're trying to rub it in my face!

They may be saying "GG" because THEY had a good game, not because they're trying to offend you.

No, it's them complimenting you, saying they felt you put up a good fight. To say it insults you is to say that you are bitter over a loss.
That is your problem, not theirs. You need to work on your anger, that much is clear.

There is a difference between "good luck" and "good luck, jackass". Same here.

"Please make shortened sportsmanship a reportable offense."

What, do you want people to actually type "Good game" at the end, just so it sounds more sincere? Or do you just get offended extremely easily?

Yes, there is a context where saying GG is offensive. There's also a context where "Fuck you" is not offensive (unless you're the kind of person who is automatically offended by swears).

Saying gg is fine. Most sports and activities have you say something similar at the end. It's quite common and there's no reason to ban for that. gg ez is different though and really unsportsmanlike and insulting. Those two letters change the whole tone of the message.

Yeah, yeah, like I said, the context.

Meanwhile, having read the entire context of the OP, it's not hard to see why it's negative 18 already.
