Popinjay: You could start by not labelling people who are abusive as having mental issues?
I don't follow. You can't be abusive and have mental issues, or are you saying if someone is abusive they cannot then be described as having mental issues?

To the extent I need to explain myself, the abusive messages aren't the only reason why I believe this person has issues.

htown1980: that made me lol
Thank you for having a sense of humor about that. Years ago in a totally different forum I was getting some pretty nasty PMs and it can be really creepy, not so funny.

htown1980: snip
I understand if you do not wish to reveal his username on the forums but is he an active forum member? Does he have a fair amount of rep (or a negative one)? I think whether he's an active forum member or some asshole who specifically signed up to harass people is an important factor.

And frankly I'm not sure I would involve the blues, at least not yet. Frankly I would just reveal his name here so users can determine whether he's a known troll who has harassed many people already and is an asshole on the forums or whether this is a single occurrence or something. It's not like you'd reveal his true identity and I think there's no unwritten law or anything that states that one shouldn't reveal user names of people who harass others via PM. After all, that's been done already with scammers numerous times and if anything it helped others.

I think just reminding him of how you're trained in gorilla warfare should do the trick

htown1980: What do you think, should I report him? I'm not even sure how.
Contact us - Other. I don't think anyone looks at "block and report" reports, except maybe in cases of spam. I know from firsthand experience that Contact - Other is watched by GOG staffers who resolve user complaints and in severe cases forward them to high-ups (TET) for srs admin action.

Ooh, I'm all for public lynchings of homophobic assholes! The forum has been notably lacking in drama for quite some time.

A dirty old van would drive up in front of htown's house, a small neckbeard would come out, knock at the door, repeat the content of the messages, turn around and drive off.

htown1980: So i hadn't heard from one particular user for around 4 months. I logged in today and I had 6 messages from him, calling me a fag, bitch and "see you next tuesday", amongst other things.

It doesn't bother me hugely but I am more concerned about this user (who appears to have some mental issues) abusing other users, possibly younger people with thinner skin who might not be able to handle it.

What do you think, should I report him? I'm not even sure how.
Block and report. Problem solved. You can find this option under "contact options". And welcome to the internet.

Was going to ask if you wanted me to solve your abusive message issue but then saw the link and couldn't bring myself to do it.

I don't see why you're complaining, I get those all the time. And I respond in kind, of course :D
