    Yesterday I was subjected to constant and the most gross sickening offensive and highly personal diatribe from a player with whom I was participating in a skins games with one other guy. This player has a female Avatar (who knows why, feel free to speculate on that one). within a couple of holes this player was 2 skins up and then launched into a verbal attack at the pair of us. Fairly average stuff at first criticizing our ability etc and the other myself self didn't credit them with any response. I won the next skin which seemed to annoy this guy so he said he was going to take a dump for 5 mins and will see if we two losers would still be here when he gets back. Disconnected ran the timer right down to the last few seconds then returned, basically he deliberately made us wait. Nothing much was said on the next hole which was squared with me and on the next hole the other guy had enough and forfeited the match leaving me and Mr Angry. This guy played a poor tee shot and I went on to win the 2 skins available putting me 3 -2 up. Before I secured the skins he was giving me the worse kind of abuse imaginable (basically wishing death upon my family members of which I supposedly fornicate with, sons daughter mother etc). Throughout this I was pretty much dismissive of his behavior. Hurling insults from the security of the Internet is not uncommon practice for some people and water off a ducks back to me, but obviously many more vulnerable people could be very affected by this cyber bullying. He said he was going to disconnect again but I chose to wait again as I wanted to beat this guy badly now. He returned right on cue with a few seconds left on the clock but them left the screen looping (not sure how he did that but he made it clear he was doing it) and continued the diatribe via the still functioning chat function. At no time did i descend to his level and too be honest I wish I had copy and pasted the dialog somewhere, but in any case he had disconnected twice already and the preceding narrative was lost each time that happened. He was saying this was only banter, but saying that my *** whore of a mother had hopefully died after my c section isn't banter and that was not the worst of it. Think this carried on for about half an hour till eventually he said he was going to leave the game looping while he walked his dog. I left my screen on (I was doing other stuff by this time anyway) and eventually the game timed out of something and I was awarded 7 skins. later he returned and posted a highly derogatory comment on my wall slating me to everyone saying that I did this and that and I am one to avoid as I had serious issues etc. I just deleted it.

    Maybe I should have left it there and posted my own version underneath but it's his word against mine isn't it? My reason for this thread is simple, what can wtg do about these kind of members who participate in this appalling and to some people potentially very damaging behavior?

    This is the mind game effect . Its designed to throw you off your game . If you quit , they win , or if you play poorly as a result , again they win . Only you know the truth about yourself , and no one here knows . So dont let chumps like this person get next to you . When you meet them in a game , beat the pants off of them , take their credits , and tell them to have a nice day. At the same time , take screen shots , and report them as well . Happy Swinging :-)

    I had a message from a player (who wishes to remain name less) who has encountered the very same player as I had my problem with. This player has done what he did to me loads times it seems. They sent me his playing history whereby he done this tactic so many times as there is a whole list of 18 hole skins games (virtual all of them listed in fact) whereby he won 18 skins or 9 for the shorter games. My messenger has witness the verbal attacks for themselves and the looping for ages to encourage the opposing players to forfeit games thereby handing him an 18 skins victory and claiming the game points. This is poor antisocial behavior as well as downright cheating. During my infamous 'match' with him he was boasting about never having lost a match and now it seems clearer as to how he's managed that. I doubt he's ever actually finished that many and has racked up his massive win ratio by countless defaults?!

    I have declined from naming the abusive cheater on the understanding that the moderators would simply not permit my post. So who do I send this evidence to?
