FIBS Board backgammon forum

I was playing on CocoaFIBS tonight and there were a few players I will not name right now who were INCREDIBLY ABUSIVE. They were making racial slurs in the chat room, they were calling me very nasty names, and when I played a game against one of them, he invited the other guys in there and they were making fun of how bad I was (I am a beginner) and calling me the b-word, etc.

I reported these players to RepBot but all I could do was issue complaints. The sort of behavior they were exhibted would ordinarily not be allowed by most ISPs as a violation of the TOS! How do I take action against these types of players ruining an otherwise very wonderful program? I don't want to have to go back to playing backgammon on Yahoo but sadly these nasty players have been all over...

You can gag them anytime you want. This is the only solution.

Cocoafibs is only one of the many clients which help you connect to fibs server. I know how you can do that (gag them) with 3dfibs and javafibs. Maybe Agerson or someone else can help you with that.

We all know who these players are.  This is there way of getting to know you.  Sometimes their joking gets out of hand.  Just ignore their rudeness by gagging and blinding them if they come into your game to annoy you.  The blind command is "blind nick".  The gag command is "gag nick" and if you don't want to see the rudeness in shouts, toggle shouts off.  

Welcome to Fibs and good luck finding the nice players there.

Socksey,  my name is not nick !!  

the command would be  'blind donzaemon'  but that would be a shame.  I quite enjoyed my two matches with MegDuluoz.  I was curious as to why she kept telling me to F*** O** though.  Did she share specifically what the the racial slurs and nasty names were?  I am interesed to know specifically how I offended her.  

I was sure there was a "P" and an "R" in donzaemon's name somewhere .... not an "N".

Did you call your old cronies out for backup? Well done boy! <_<
