No name calling.
I had now 4 users telling me that am gnarly and then I reacted which I regret cause I might get a gnorc or a ripto (hope not).
It makes no sence why they are only asking me and not other users.
But I do regret saying that.

Name calling is not against the rules unless it's constant harassing.. Just tell those users politely, too not call you that cause you're offended. Also, if you noticed the users that are 'name calling' are mainly the S&Ners, S&N is a jokey place for older users, that can probably understand the consequences of jokes more then the younger range of users. If it's causing you a lot of disharmony just stay away from that section and come back when you get older or can understand the stuff that goes around there. Just block the people that are 'name calling' you. Cause I understand it isn't nice, and I'm glad you apologised for reacting which is a great move from you. Seriously, just ignore the gnarly thing. They don't know any better.

Please don't shoot the messenger.

I just realized it is a user.

See, then you should PM them how you feel.. Not let it get to you and hold it all on your chest.

If they continue, just block them...

I already did block them

If they follow you everywhere to bother you, then it's probably harassment and you could let the mods know about it. But if it's just a thread or somewhere as especific, it's better to just ignore them since it's probably flame baiting and trying to get a rise out of you.

It is childish to block them. And if you are wondering who Gnarly was he was a user that posted his password for everyone to see. He was banned for saftey reasons.

Ninja,you're not the person that can judge if it's childish or not to block them. We've seen plenty of cases of people getting harassed and the mods not being able to do much about it, so blocking might be the way to go if it got to such a point.Other methods might be, but just keeping someone from PMing or Guestbook messages is not really affecting forum discussion.

"Name calling" as it is isn't against the rules. But if people continue to bother you about it and get worse, please either report the posts or PM one of the mods for that section. And personally I didn't see anything that you did to warrant a suspension or ban.

They were never insulting you, they just asked if you were another user, "name calling" was not their intention~
