I really hate the slap emote and don't have any clue how to report it. Can't report in game since we can only report RMT.
I've only had complete strangers "slap" me with no clue why. It's brings up feelings of being abused.
It's the only emote I hate because to me it's flat out abuse.

You can report people through System > Support Desk > Contact Us > Report Harassment.
Based on a reading of the prohibited activities document, it sounds like the GMs will expect you to ask them to stop first, and then report them if they continue. Personally I think it's absurd to think it's okay for people to hit you until you ask them not to hit you, but I'm not the one writing the game rules, so... -

Context is key. Saying something is flat out abuse is pretty inflammatory. Lets be real here pls.

10-29-2021, 12:35 PMVencioHate to be frank but ideally every emote is there for gaming purposes & if it simply bothers you that much you can always turn the emote text off.Quote:

Just walk away & go about your business.

Do you really need a thread about this? You should be lucky that there is not an even worse emote like in other MMOs...
Emotes are a Part of the game...if you feel offended by something so trivial then you should turn emote Texts off..
Iam a Lalafell so should i Report everyone who pats me? Just come on.. -
10-29-2021, 11:06 PMAthael_ElluvienTo me personally this sounds like the same, unreasonable request like removing /spit from WoW. I am not trying to defend harassment here, but when you get that easily offended by some letters in a text box that don't even have an animation tied to it (as far as I know), then it is a You-problem... And for me especially it sounds like a You-problem of the same level as people being upset that their coffee gets cold.Quote:

That's incredibly thin-skinned. It's a game. Get a grip

10-30-2021, 05:29 PMDoozerThe slap emote does have an animation tied to it. All emotes do, that's the point.Quote:

10-30-2021, 05:34 PMAnhraFrom the way i see it, it is also considered abuse (of the goodwill of the Devs) acting like a spoiled child to petition getting ingame features removed, just because of your personal stance towards it.Quote:

Slap em back! Or dote. Just do both ^^

10-30-2021, 11:48 PMItMeIt is rather strange that we have an emote that lets players strike each other, but I don't think the emote itself is inherently a problem.Quote:

Removing /slap won't stop bad actors from finding other ways to abuse people with emotes. Outside of /throw, you can also /em and enter custom text to do whatever you want. -

It’s 100% about context. I don’t think it’s okay to harass anyone at all, but you have to take the circumstances into consideration before you just blindly go reporting people for using an emote just because you don’t like it and think it should be a part of the game.
If someone is harassing you that’s one thing.
But if people are just goofing around or being a smart ass then I think you’re bordering on overreacting. -

Omg someone used the sit emote, this brings up memories of abuse when people would sit and call me names.
You have to see how silly it is to tie sth entirely different to a harmless act.
Now unless there is context for their intention, which is objectively sound in terms of it being negative, then just tell them to either stop, slap them back or ignore them.
You should be able to stand up for yourself against the person and the emote isn't inaccessible to you now specifically, but I guess your approach is to ignore and not stoop to their level.
If they are harassing you/stalking you then that is a reportable offense but from someone who is just being a tease isn't an issue and doesn't warrant a report.
There seems to be a problem in the community, where every minor issue somehow needs to be reported because it hurts my SUBJECTIVE feelings. You have to consider that there are others who play this game too and that their stances matter, so wanting to change/remove a emote because it doesn't cater to YOU isn't something that should be taken into account.
Also this is a virtual world, you're not held at gunpoint to stay there so you have an option to leave for a break to cooldown and come back, which would mean a different atmosphere if these people login during different hours. -
11-02-2021, 03:48 PMDoozerWhile I see the point you're trying to make, this is just. Stupid. Sitting isn't an inherently violent action. Even though someone can do it jokingly, the act of slapping someone is literally hitting them. It's not the same as "sitting and calling me names".Quote:

Banning an emote over its potential misuse doesn't solve anything. People who want to harass you can harass you with other means.
