I logged into game today after a few months away and almost immediately witnessed sexual harassment in chat. I have no option except to ignore or friend the offender? Please take some responsibility and give us a means to help you clean up chat.
Ignore isn’t good enough because (1) even if you ignore the worst offenders the conversation goes on around it and (2) no on should have to deal with feeling attacked when they just want to play a game.
The devs are aware of the issues and working to fix it.
How can we actually report someone at the present? I’ve read another forum thread on it from January and it only links to the support section where it says to contact EHG through “this site”.
Not finding any appropriate ticket topic for reporting though. Should I just make a general ticket or how to do this?
Take a screenshot and submit a ticket.
They actually do look into it.
They do, and they ban people where appropriate, they just don’t tell everyone else about it.
Roger that. Will type up a ticket then. 
The degenerate chat in the game has long been turned off - as in the vast majority of games [at most guild or friend chats are usually on].
I understand this and also do it sometimes but if everyone of good intent leaves then what is left spirals down and and the people who treat others badly are reinforced that their behavior is ok or normal.
I do just shrug off most things. Especially when chats gets too politically annoying I just leave and come back later. But I feel like some things shouldn’t be ignored and that’s where we need an easy option to report.
Every person has his or her own threshold where that line falls but I’ve been playing online games for over 20 years and it’s well known that communities are more toxic than they used to be. I feel like the only way that will change is if people stop ignoring bad behavior in their communities.
I’m glad to hear that it is being worked on already. I do hope they make it a priority because game communities tend to build their reputations early and they don’t want to go live already having a reputation for being excessively toxic (I was only on for about a half hour before I logged out so not saying this IS the case - hopefully I saw a rare occurrence - but the sooner it’s made clear it isn’t ok the better before it becomes entrenched accepted behavior).
Please forgive the slightly subjective touch of bitter gibberish. [Seems to be the right thread for something like this] Here goes:
In the “early days of PC multiplayer gaming” [various IntraNETs, home networks or the www with 56k modems] almost only more talented [more intelligent?] people had their computers so far under control that they could play at all for a few weekends without errors, for example in a LAN or online.
→ These were mostly reasonable people, with whom you could almost always have intelligent conversations, talk about technology or game mechanics or just have fun in games.
Nowadays, almost everything installs itself without errors [yes, it’s progress, it’s true]. Anyone can do that.
→ Today you have to search for a looong time to find even rudimentary people like that. Sometimes I think that most of them have already found other hobbies… 
Do I have to paraphrase certain discrepancies further?
Or in a nutshell:
→ It disgusts me now downright in some chats, forums, messengers, blogs, news sites and what else exists so everything to give me all the bullshit. General chats are thus partly hardly bearable and remain precautionary further off.
