Attached File  object.png   7.96KB   1 downloadsSo.. perhaps this needs to be talked about.

I can see making a complaint on the Public Chat.

There are things that not everyone will like.

However...

Do people really need to resort to profanity?

Is it really that difficult to say "I don't like this" vs "I don't f^^^ing like this" in the public chat?

And then to resort to bullying if you're asked to watch your language?

Can more be done to discourage this kind of activity?

I can see arguments about being "less sensitive" towards profanity. 

I tend to be on the side where resorting to profanity just shows a general lack of intelligence.

And online bullying is something else completely.

 

So my question and problem has been stated, but I'll state it again.

 

Can the Moderators do more to discourage people in the public chat from profanity and/or bullying?

 

I have attached a screen image that points out a conversation I recently saw in the public chat that points this out.

Sadly, it IS Facebook live chat, nothing to do with HeroZero in the way it's run or anything.  I do appreciate though that I'm not the only one displeased with what I saw there.  I wish there was something to be done, but sadly, I'm not sure what.

Unbind your account and access the game directly via www.herozerogame.com

 

That way you never have to worry about bullying in chat.

Read a book? Like "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"?? And just because I happen to be familiar, does not mean I cannot ask for a change.

Lol...I don't know what book will help you figure out herozero's interaction with Facebook. Perhaps Chumak can tell you where to get one...or maybe you can find another ok that tells you how to do that too. I'm lazy and don't want to find that book or a book to figure out how to reinvent the wheel. Or how to make fire with two sticks. If someone knows and can tell you great!
But if we can't ask questions because they are too 'stupit' then I don't know what this forum is for. I thought we could ask questions and hopefully get help or answers.

lol, reading books helps being smarter and understand environment one lives in, so "stupit" questions that come to mind become rather rare ;)

On the subject, FB forums have nothing to do with this particular forum. So if you have issues in FB, then you need to address them through FB, not through here. Simple.

The question has been answered. The wheel didn't need to be reinvented... Fire has been reproduced. No books were needed. Problem solved without spending an hour reading a book.
The asker has become just slightly smarter. And potentially now knows that Facebook chat is in play. And how to potentially get rid it the chat. Win.

I guess the real question is who is to say other than developers, administrator, and/or moderators of these forums as to what can or can't be asked?

I just saw your post and couldn't stop myself from commenting on it. I wonder how brave and strong you are to deal with all this online hate. As for me, it absorbs all my energy, and sometimes it's challenging to prove your point regarding certain things.

I totally feel you on this issue. It's frustrating when people resort to profanity and bullying on public chat. I personally believe that there's no need to use profanity to get the point across. It just shows a lack of creativity and intelligence.
