    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

      2 games, 2 reports for inappropriate behavior.

      I came from another game client, and in literally two out of three games, there was racial bullying.
      In the first game, I was told I was from the wrong country, and that went on for the entire game.
      A Polish guy is messaging me right now, calling me a Russian bitch—even though I’m from Kyrgyzstan.
      He tells me I’m Russian and that my rating is fake—even though I gave a logical explanation: I came from another client and have prior experience. He just starts bullying me even harder. It’s been a truly disgusting experience during my first two hours in the community.

        Unfortunately this is a possible reality when entering a space with anonymization like this one. There is all kinds of hatred people feel comfortable doing when there may be no repercussions.

        Report it every time it happens and wait for some moderator action.

          While I appreciate your sentiment, the correct course of action would be to report this person to the moderators team, and not publicly shame them on the forums. This thread will likely be deleted by the first moderator online.

            @lukakg It is a shame that you were treated like that. You have already reported it, further escalation is not necessary at this point.

            I have removed the image in question from the first post, which contained profanity via DMs between the users in question.

            Such public shaming is not a path we take.

            Everyone can make poor decision and regret it on the next days. Rough waters can happen sometimes, but there are always lifeguards around.

            That being said: Welcome to FAF!

            With OP's request addressed, I am going to close this thread for now.
