  I am fairly new to the online game of golf but I am having fun learning. Yesterday, I was playing a game and someone by the name of threeboyz3 asked me to play a game. I did and we started chatting. At first the conversation was fairly normal until he asked me "what clothes I was wearing".  I told him that I wasn't interested in going there, that I was here just to have fun playing the. Because I wouldn't answer his question he then asked me "what do I have up top" I said "excuse me? that is too much info. Only my hubby gets to know that stuff. Needless to say he kept it up. Once the rematch was done I quickly got out and closed the window for golf and when I did go back on to play by myself he immediately tried to get me to play again but this time I clicked on the "I'm busy playing a game" and ever since then I have been marked as busy just to avoid that foolishness. I am not here to talk dirty to guys, I'm ONLY here to have fun playing the virtual game of golf!

  Thank you for understanding.

  Oooo, Ick. 

  Hmm, One way you could handle it in future is to enter something like this in chat. 

  Dude, I'm a 6'5" 240 lb body builder and lawyer. The name is my job. I'm just using a female avatar to get the meter. Chill.

  Might work.

  This is sad that you have to be nervous about some clown bothering you for anything other than a game. There are ways to deal with this and having to hide behind "Busy" is just plain wrong for you. 

  WGT will take the time to handle your situation if you simply present it to them via e-mail. They take that kind of stuff seriously and will help you. In the future, you can hit PRTSCR on your keyboard to get a picture of the offensive chat which will copy it to your clipboard. Then you can view it in Notepad or Paint, someplace where you can paste. Save that and send it along with your complaint if it ever happens again.  GL

  If it happens again, please name and shame.  The community as a whole will put a stop to people like this.
