@TheCurator: What to do when a guy keeps calling everyone alts?

ModEchoing·Jun 17, 2016·3 votes·483 views

First, thanks for your expedient answer to my last thread.

So there's this guy on the Concepts and Creations board. You can't miss him, he's the creator of the thread that got over 90 replies overnight. I've been watching him, and very often he'll accuse other people of being alts made to downvote them, no matter how improbable that is (who has time to get 800+ wins on accounts from entirely different regions?).

What's the proper approach to take here? I've seen maybe two of his posts get deleted out of the swarms of posts he makes, and he's not really contributing much that's productive - check the post history if you don't believe me.

If this is a little too on-the-nose and gets deleted as per the no-naming policy on the boards, can you at least tell me what to do in the reason for deleting the thread?

Thank you for your consideration.

Ignore him?

This. Accusing someone of being an alt/smurf account isn't against the rules. It's just pointless. Obviously anyone doing this just doesn't care about someone else's comments, so don't bother making one. Downvote the post, when applicable, and move on.

There are more worthy things to spend one's time on than someone who doesn't care.

Pretty unsatisfying response. Dude's honestly an ass, and he does toss around insults to everyone else.

Alright then. Thanks for your response.

If someone is truly insulting other players, you can obviously report them under Offensive or Harassment. If it qualifies as a removable insult in that section, then a Moderator will remove it.
