  yeah, that's rediculous.  wgt should come up with a point system in which a certain amount of violations can result in a temporary suspension, or eventually being permanantly banned. just an idea.  don't worry helen, the majority of members aren't like that.

  points system? Harassment like that could call for at least a suspension not a certain number of them but just one. No one deserves to be treated like that.

  This could work. 1 point you're suspended. 2 points you're banned. Hmmmm

  Quite like the idea of a points system ! but would I get a point for subverting the rules  ? lol

  Thank you all for your support.

  I think it might have broken the rules Helen

  I don't know, Roger, she didn't name anybody.  Technically that could be construed as complying. No names were mentioned here. JMO

  Yes... Good point Jim.

  Calling female players names like that is bad news.

  Mio got totally banned from even playing this game for his stance on the multi accounter issue. Rightly or wrongly isn't the issue.

  But surely calling a female member a Wh*re is a lot worse.

  i wouldnt worry about breaking any rules Helen,what would happen ,you get sent to wgt jail.Aside from my bad attempt at levity,there can be no tolerance for that  kind of vulgar treatment.i believe for quicker action ,wgt has an 800 number .talking to a representative would in all likely hood give you all the answers you would need.  best wishes

  WGTicon,

  I wish to make a formal complaint about a player, I will not name him on here as I know that is against the rules.

  But I will NOT be called a whore by anyone !

  I have a screenshot of his abuse which I will forward to you at your request, this is meant to be a fun family game, and for a member to use such a term of abuse to a female member is completely unacceptable.

  Please contact me and I will furnish you with the details of this person,

  Helen.

  now that everyone knows the name i for one will never play with him and if everyone boycotts them it should send out a strong message that this is totally unacceptible

  No offense to anyone, but my hope is that WGT would just delete that player's account with a message "You are no longer welcome at this site".

  Helen old friend .

  The answer is to get club owners to remove members like this on the spot if there is evidence of it .And post their names for clubs not to let in .

  Talk to other club owners and make this a rule in their club as it is in mine .

  Post the list of clubs that follow this rule .

  WGT makes the games but the club owners do most of the work !

  With no club to join they are WGTs problem not ours .
