Lol what? Explain to me this rocket-science logic.

I was in a clan on another game and a rival clan got our MSN list. They thought it funny to sign us all up to RTP sites.

I got some of the sickest stuff said to me during that time. In the end, I'd play with them, get them to make themselves look like morons, then post it for all to see.

The rest of the clan would then add them and give them abuse.

Do you agree with my view?

Absolutely. I am more than glad to hear that there is an organization like that.

Do you think it's justified?

100%

Do you think I'm racist for raising the topic?

No. As soon as people are talking about an ethinic group there always are people generalizing it as racism straight away. Ofcourse it depends on the subject, but thìs is really a thing thats very common with Turkish people, and HAS to be dealth with. It makes me sick.

Do you think this becoming a problem in SRO?

It already is. I have had a few female characters and I have experienced numerous events regarding this problem.

Are you worried that it will become a problem in SRO in the future?

It might / probably will get worse, yes.

Have you had experiences with RTPs (on SRO)? (And if so, elaborate)

Yes. I am a member of the website http://www.vampirefreaks.com

When I look around, there are hundreds of Turkish people, all with a few pictures on their profile, leaving comments to
UNDERAGED (13-17) girls. They ask for their msn (With sexual (webcam related) intentions) and leave disgusting sexually comments. Alot of people already have notes on their profiles that states: "No Turks allowed on my MSN/Yahoo/AOL." Alot of people had their msn adress on their page, but nowdays people took it off because almost ALL girls I have spoken with have dealth with Turks on their MSN, asking for them to turn on their webcam, and showing certain parts of the body. I have seen Turkish people leaving R-rated comments and requests for MSN chats at girls profiles that are 13 years old (the minimum age you need to be to become a member of the website).

Just take a look, and ask some female users about their experiences. I am sure almost every girl can give personal experiences of Turkish pervertism. http://www.vampirefreaks.com

I absolutely agree with what you are doing, I am very glad you are aware of whats going on, and I wish you the best of luck.

LOL!
I was the owner of the anti-random-perverts cults on VF (a role I've now passed on to Richard, username Asteconn), and head of Community Watch, which is for reports en masse and staffed by some of the website administrators.
If you ever want to talk directly about your concerns to an administrator rather than making a specific report to the admin inbox, Kristy (username Lafayette) and Beth (username ScarlettVamp) are the admins to go to. They're our two wonderful website mums! If you want help finding out what can be done to remove RTPs from the VF website or have your own advice and opinions to share with us, the rest of the members in Community Watch are all ears!

uhmm i think this is pretty dumb

^_^

this is pretty racist

how about
AP
or hey make it

AATWRMH
anti african that will rob my house

which is basically what ur saying

I think you dont really know how bad this actually all is.

Maybe youve never experienced problems in this matter, but if you would have you wouldnt have said that I think

and ofcourse it all seems really racist, and it is in some way..

But I think the problem is more important, and requires attention to people. especially young people. Young girls getting sexually herassed

And this is mostly done by Turkish people, really.

Ive experienced this for years, I know what Im talking about, and xian knows this too.

SRO DOES desperately need a way to block a person from PMing you but GEEZES ppl, you can not read what someone says, block an MSN user, etc... I hate it when women play the victim online. THis isnt real life and there are many ways to escape what someone TYPES.

If you are so delicate that you experience psychological trauma from a written word, you got more problems than a random pervert.

ROFL is this a joke iam i dreaming there sexually harassing a dam game character and you feel harassed? one thing is touching you or screaming vulgar language at you in the streets but its a game, how smart can a person be if there hitting on a game character...and how smart can a person be by actually feeling offended or harassed by a person getting turned on by a game character, i mean really your smarter then that.

maybe if it was a person in guild you get to know them and then you give them you msn then they start harassing you in game but your talking about mainly random turks. there is ignorant ppl playing its a bound thing

i believe women deserver respect, same rights ect
but what ur talkign about is running into the random moron in a mmorpg


have you ever been harassed in real life? or this just another
purple chicken situation

Sry double post cuz of lag~

1 I am not a woman so I am not playing a victim

2 I gave an example of a thirteen year old girl. Those kids can do somethings against their will if somebody insits on them doing it. And that is BAD.



True but you can't avoid being hurt, insulted or feeling disgusted when someone TYPES certain things. Note that I am still thinking with the 13 year old girl example, because it happens.
I am mainly talking about my experiences on http://www.vampirefreaks.com , as you would have known / know if you read my first post, there are alot of so called 'RTP's looking for new users, 9/10 times under 18 and asking them for their MSN. Now those girls come on that site to make new friends. They add their new 'friend' on MSN and he puts on his cam with his d*** showing him j****** off. Or asking them to show themselves. Thats just fu**ed up.

Also I have had bad experiences with 'RTP's on SRO, but ofcourse that was in-game without pictures, without information on yourself they can read, etc. Thats less personal.

Still happens though.



If you read my post then you will notice I am not mainly talking about the Turks on SRO but about 'RTP's in general.

Again, I am not a woman and I am not playing a victim here, but some young kids with low self-esteem might do stuff against their will even if it is over the internet.

I just have seen it happen forehand and it just makes me sick. That's why I take this topic so seriously.

Silver0 and nightbloom, you seem to have missed part of the point of this thread.

This isn't about people living in Turkey or with Turkish genes, this is about a specific group of people who are united by their combination of being specifically male, Turkish-speaking, lascivious, and sometimes paedophilic and/or ephebophilic.

The question was whether this is or is going to be a concern for those of us who play SRO. This is an existing problems in other places, and whether people thought there is becoming a problem here would be a significant matter to us since many iSRO players are Turkish-speaking males.

You can't simply "ignore" things that you see. Once you've seen it, you've seen it, and if someone leaves you a graphic picture of pornography in a private message, or spams you with large animated emoticons of pornography on an instant messenger, etc. it's not simply a matter of words being typed. Not all IM's allow the degree of selectivity provided by MSN, and the problem has stretched further than messaging apps and e-mail, on to websites themselves, where BBCode, HTML, CSS, and other languages make it easy for RTPs to instantaneously present graphic images of perversion. On SRO, yes, it will all be in text format, but that doesn't mean they should be granted a Home Free card.

This is troubling for young girls. Graphic salacious concepts and content aren't just being sent to grown women. Many of these men are ephebophiles and/or paedophiles - they get their kicks from girls, not adults, and paedophiles specifically target pre-pubescents. Additionally, most of these girls are indeed victims. They're not asking for it. They are not inviting it. They do not want it. Many of the girls who are harassed by RTPs do not upload pictures of themselves and do not say anything that could be interpreted as having innuendo or blatant sexual-idealism. They are targeted simply for being female, and that is clearly a trait they didn't choose in the pre-natal state.

uhmm c reRead this it involves turks &
SRO
you need to evaluate and realize wtf your talking about since its obvious that now your trying to pull the sympathy card,

There is real sexual harassment going on everyday people get kidnapped , Molested , Raped , and embarrassed all under 18.

And ur crying about a ignorant 10yr turk who said suck my dyck
in SRO , there is one thing fighting sexual embarrassment which iam for
But what you are doing is not fighting Sexual Harassment as a whole your fighting Sexual Harassment in SRO and not just any pervert but you point at turks.

your group name states it RANDOM PERVERT

you should worry about the NON random perverts that are near you
make a group against them.



no matter what a person says there is always one person who feels insulted hurt or disgusted. does that mean we should not talk at all?

You should re-read it yourself. Hell, re-read all of my comments. I've stated very clearly and concisely that I'm not talking about Turks, rather a particular group of whose members are united by being Turkish-speakers (among other things, which I also stated succinctly).

Where have I "pulled the sympathy card"? This thread isn't even about me.







I'm the last person in the world who needs to be informed of those things.







Congratulations, you've publicly declared that you really, really haven't read this thread at all.


1.) I'm not crying. This thread isn't about my personal trials and tribulations. I made it very clear that I was presenting a topic for discussion amongst SRO members, as to whether or not they think the topic of RTPs could/will/have become a "problem" on SRO in its entirety.

2.) I'm not talking about ten year olds - most "RTPs" are full grown men with paedophilic and/or ephebophilic fetishes. They are over 20yrs of age and predate the 10yr olds. XD

3.) The harassment is generally more serious and perturbing than a simple "suck mý dick". There is a multitudinous sea of quotes in this thread where both guys and girls have talked about the use of graphic visual media by RTPs.

4.) I can't fight sexual harassment as a whole, nor can I boot it off SRO - that would be declaring that I defined mores and punishment on both a global scale and across all of SRO. Again, the point of this thread was to prompt discussion as to whether RTPs could/will/have become a concern for SRO players (not to somehow annihilate them on a personal vendetta). And again, I'm not attacking Turks. Learn to read and develop more highly-advanced comprehension skills, for Christ's sake.







You've misinterpreted the point of the word "random". It doesn't mean their behaviour is erratic and occassional. It refers to their relationship with the individuals they harass - to the girls they message, they are generally "randoms", mysterious online men that they don't know. If it were to be non-random and/or local perverts, it wouldn't warrant this discussion. They are easier to identify and girls are often familiar with them at a macroworld level, so legally they're much easier to deal with and consequently the girls would be offered support by the state, rather than having to resort to support groups like my own.
