Advice isn't verbal abuse

The Ecdysiast··4 votes·2,188 views

Just so you know, playing poorly is asking for advice. Doesn't matter if you're tilted or not. Reporting someone who isn't being hurtful and calling you trash along with their advice does nothing but add to the toxicity and low skill/game knowledge of the general community.

Depends on how you “give advice.” Telling someone something along the lines of “Hey, play safer and farm up,” can be considered advice. Saying something like “stop feeding” isn’t really advice. I believe in the report feature because some people have varied views in how to “give advice.” It’s a toxic environment, sure. And yea, people will add to the toxicity with “report ——— for toxicity/inting/whatever” but people need to know that their actions have consequences. So I’m for the report system.

I edited my comment out. Just go with what Ekitaih said.

Edit: due to a misunderstanding, I though he meant it's OK to call someone trash if you also giving them an advice. I was corrected later in this thread. Have to admit tho, you should change "and" in the "hurtful and calling you trash" with "or", will make it easier to understand.

Thats what he SAID. He said it is NOT ok to report someone who ISNT being hurtful and/Or Calling you trash while providing advice is only adding fuel to the fire.

May have gotten a bit butchered in translation. I mean sentence structure could have been better but thats actually what he was saying. If someone is giving you advice and ISNT calling you trash, ISNT Being hurtful or offensive. Its not ok for you to turn around and report them for "verbal abuse"

Ok, yes, after I read that sentence few more times, I think you are right, I misunderstood it.

I'll add edit to my first post.

As for topic, just what Ekitaih said.
