Does anyone know what the site's policy is on reporting abuse of the email system?

After a long time of the email system not working (reportedly due to blacklisting) it is back working and I get some immature douchebag sending an obscenity laced email through the YouPlayIt site. Adding irresponsibility to immaturity, he also includes obscenities in the subject line so that even my children can read it without having the preview pane open or opening the message.

Typically, this type of message can get reported to my ISP to have them take corrective action, but because it was done through YPI the site would get punished instead. Other than making private messages unavailable because of one douchebag (and his phantom accounts), is there anything that can be done to prevent this wanton abuse of the site's mail system?


One option you might consider is to create another email account for mail from this site - gmail, yahoo or hotmail, for example. While not addressing the root problem, this would at least keep such kinds of messages from being so easily viewed by your kids.

So you use highly inappropriate words above, on a forum site that can and has been viewed by children, and you complain about "your" children seeing something on your computer?

Perhaps you should do a better job of monitoring what access your children have to your computer. I'd hate for them to see the words "pop" chose above - would rather be teaching a story of the "pot calling the kettle black", now wouldn't it.

Oh yeah, for anyone interested on this NON-story, by the way, that email was from me, and you Tx, deserved every word of it. If you want to be a fan boy of mjk and adopt his tactics - that's your choice - don't expect me to not reply in kind.

Lastly big man, I'm sure this site in Italy is trembling at it's knees at the power the great Txward might bring, as you threaten the site - with "suffering" and "punishment".

The last time I checked, the world has just a few more pressing problems to deal with, than your tears over an email taking you to task, over an online hex boardgame.

Wow, Templars - you've really shown how campaigns can bring out the worst in people. You've shown to be a hypocrit and a man lacking principles - sorry I had to point that out for you and upset you.

I wasn't complaining about the content of your hate mail, just the subject line. Like access to websites, my children know what they can or can not do on our computers. Visiting certain sites and reading others' email are off limits. Including obscenities in the subject line is the problem, as that shows up in the list of mail from various email addresses including theirs.

I certainly wasn't threatening the site. Quite the contrary. I was asking what the site's policy is to prevent this behavior so that people like you - people who abuse the mail system and threaten to get it blacklisted again - don't continue to ruin the experience for everyone else. I was actually enjoying my time here until you became active again with the campaign. Re-read your forum posts from the start of the campaign and reflect on how your posts contradict the behavior of you and your alter ego. Then, try to grow up and find some class.

Feel free to point out which "highly inappropriate words" I've used in my initial post as well, if you actually can.
