Ingame verbal threat

Hi there,

I'm sorry you had to deal with a user like that.

You can still report a user through your console so the Enforcement Team can investigate if they broke the code of conduct. The Enforcement Team does not use the forums.

On the Dashboard, you can go to People > recent players. There you can select the use, and report and block them. Be sure not to message them as it will break the block.

Calling out gamertags is not allowed on the forums.

Report & block these people via your console.That is the only way to report someone.

You should reset your router & change any passwords you have linked to your account.

Ddos attacks are done via your broadband/internet & are down to your isp to address.

If they tell you they can't help then that is incorrect so you should contact them again.

More info on what to do can be found here

How about verbal abuse? Not a crime? That's considered assault when it comes to physical threats in some states. Why would anyone not want this at least investigated?

Technically, it is NOT verbal abuse.

.

""Verbal abuse (also known as reviling) is described as a negative defining statement told to the victim or about the victim, or by withholding any response, thereby defining the target as non-existent. If the abuser does not immediately apologize and
retract the defining statement, the relationship may be a verbally abusive one.""

.

Threatening a child with punishment is NOT verbal abuse, no matter the tone of the threat. Nor is verbal abuse a crime either, at least here in the United States. If it were, then we could NOT build enough jails to hold everyone.

You also state is considered assault...IT IS NOT....

.

""The act required for an assault must be overt.
Although words alone are insufficient, they might create an assault when coupled with some action that indicates the ability to carry out the threat. A mere threat to harm is not an assault; however, a threat combined
with a raised fist might be sufficient if it causes a reasonable apprehension of harm in the victim""

.

Did you SEE the person with a raised hand, or a gesture that would be considered threatening...NO you didnt. You only HEARD the threat. And perhaps the guy apologised to his child later..YOU DONT KNOW!

.

Perhaps you should learn a little about the law before trying to speak on it.
And perhaps you should mind your own business when it come to how people decide to raise their children until you actually SEE some kind of abuse.

All of that. I think, when you spot, all allied players get indicator on HUD, minimap and verbally (yet only the type of threat verbally, not its location. Like "OMG Enemy tank sighted, in your area!!").

There are other rules for when they enter cover and you loose sight. I think they dissapear from HUD first, and from minimap after that. Special rules for this. I'm not sure.

Sometimes enemies show up only at the minimap and not on the HUD at all, and I think that only means they are firing.
