I was wondering if you can do anything about ppl insulting you. I dont think just sitting and ignoring them is sufficient.
Last night I was playin AB with 3 guildies and a friend from outside of the alliance. We all are spanish, so we were speaking spanish to coordinate in game (my mike is dead).
Then, one of the groups began to say samething like beaners (at that moment, I didn't know what was that). One minute after they started to scream: MEXICANS GO TO HELL, WE WANT YOU ALL DEAD. I HATE MEXICANS, THERE ARE TOO MUCH IN CALIFORNIA. And in private: I'll gonna burn you beaner. Go RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO to your home.
And thinks like that, I was wondering if anything can be done with this stupid people.
The funny thing is that they blame me for speaking spanish, and when I told them that I wasn't mexican, they begun to blame all latin american people, when I told them again that I wasn't even american, they just shout up. It was funny.
What to do with hard insults?

Screenshot & report to support. With luck they might get temp ban.
Without gamemasters that's pretty much only way.

Take a screen shot, write down the time and place of the incident and report them as a racist, done. Open a can of beer, sit down and watch the rerun of heroes. Log on guru and see a new" I just been banned! can anyone help me?!!" thread.
zwei2stein
for me "but i am not mexican - bast latinamericans - but i am not american - silence" is pretty good. It made him look like really closeminded fool and hopefully realize something ... meh, who am i kidding.

Don't let it get to you.

I'd suggest you stop expecting everything in life to be a padded room and ignore it... Complaining about it just encourages them.
spellsword
Ignore it, morons like that aren't worth your time.
Ravenholm
lol, you did the best thing there and i hate the fact that it goes on.
To be honest i do admire you for even bothering to learn English, i mean most British people when they go over to Spain and other countries they expect everyone to speak English which is an insult to Spain and other countries cultures.
So my advice is just to ignore it, sure it will make then say more insults but thats just because they are getting angry as the aren't getting a reaction out of you :P

Ignore it and just enjoy the fact that you aren't a handitard like them.

That isn't just insulting, it's racism.
I had a dark-skinned character and, even though I'm caucasion, I recieved racial remarks from time to time. I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt.
They're just kids whose families obviously condone xenophobia and the best thing you can do, like -Loki- said, is to rise above it and feel grateful that you aren't one of them. Report it if you made screenshots too.

Racists are retards.
Retards deserve bans.
They don't deserve your attention.
If they whisp in a few days things like "you got me banned!", it mean Anet did take action, which is good.
Ask them if they want another.

Expecting the world to be a shiny happy place is a fool hearty thing to do, yes. But if you're not going to stand up for yourself and try to make the world a better place, you may as well just lie down and pull the lid closed.

Back on topic, if someones insulting me in game I either put them on my ignore list, make witty remarks back or just ignore it. If it really makes you feel bad report them but I don't need the hassle tbh.

Remember kids, racism is bad but ableism is okay.

The same thing happens to me when I start speaking french...
They are like : "shut up you stupid french person" or other more vulgar insults..
Anyway, I have reported many incidents and have gotten angry pm's back, lol
They do suspend them

Ignore.
Make no reply.
Take screen shots and report to ANet
Know that you are a better person because you did not retaliate in kind, and you did the community a service by reporting this kind of behavior.

It's hard to just ignore hateful comments like that. I feel for you. Try turning off local chat next time.
Snow Bunny
Report, check friends list.
4 days later, he will appear
He will pm you, "**** ***** **** ****!!!" (Myriad of racism) Better yet, hope he gets his friend to impersonate a GM and pm you. Then you're in for a GREAT time. (Happened to me)
Report both, check friends list
You'll never see them again.
Sit back, and enjoy.

Obviously the screen shot and report is the right way to go.
In addition... you can tell them that Spanish is one of seven languages that you speak and at that very moment you're looking out over a topless beach on St. Tropez island.
Then enjoy the stunned silence.

Heheheh, thanks averybody. I didn't take the screenshoot, I was just trying to shutdown some kurzick monk :P Next time, I'll take the photo, and I'll report it.
I wanted to know they way to proceed. I didn't really feel bad about this, people like that exist everywhere. I just wanted to know if the can be punished.
On the other hand, there is no real problem about speaking in English, because English is one of the 7 languages that I can speak. In addition, I didn't get angry because I was getting a drink in a beach at St. Tropez while a hot girl is just trying to get fun with me...
Oh, sorry. My imagination again...
Again, thanks.

I hate to be so picky but...
Concerning several posts on this thread; It strikes me as a bit odd that people would use the word "retard" in the same sentence that they were saying how ignorant racist people are...maybe we could think of a better word to use to describe how detestable racists are?
As far as the OP is concerned, report them. I don't buy into this "ignore them" strategy. If ignorant people are allowed to continue to be abusive without any consequences, they will simply keep doing it. Fight back. Ban 'em! If you want a "code of conduct", help to enforce it! Next time you beat those jerks in a pvp match, make sure you say "Adios Muchachos!" after it's over.

Cyan, you are right. But, I didn't expected that kind of behaivour, so I didn't know what to do.
I don't like the way of ignore them. It is like to ignore a problem thinking that it will get fixed for its own. That's why I started this thread, despite of being playing for two years, I have never needed to contact with operators or any kind of GM. I'm such a noob on this aspect of the game.
And, don't worry, after they were silenced, I went on speaking on spanish with my friends. This kind of people won't affect me too much.
Sorry for my english, It's not my native language :P

Rei,
Your English is quite good. Don't worry about it! I'm sorry you had such a negative experience. It's funny how ignorant some Americans can be. This country was colonized, built, and defended by "foreigners". It's a "melting pot" of people from many nations! Yet people still act that way. It's just mind-numbing...and very sad. Anyway, keep playing and have fun!

Snappy comebacks beat hard insults every time. If you can't bite back quick and hard off the top of your head, make a list or something and put it by your PC.
Send them home to their mommies crying, that's what I do

Political correctness will be the death of humanity. Grow a pair people, it's just a video game, mostly populated with underage peons, and you're letting them upset you with everyday smack talk. Did humanity make it this far being a society of emotional snitches? No, we beat and killed one another to make it this far.
Come on what do you people do in real life when confronted with drama, smack talk, or aggressive behaviour? Call 911, tell your boss, run to mommy?
No wonder there's a new "my name/account was banned" weekly on all the forums.

Lol their are alot of stupid people in the world, i'm just happy i'm not one of them. Just think if they insult you, that makes u smarter and better then them.
I never ignored anyone in game yet and tis been over 2 years. I find it that im running away from the problem if I do that lol, but also I haven't been in such a bad situation that I had to

report them in my opinion you ignore them you give them the go ahead to do it again if you talk back to them your dragging yourself down to there level and your no better then they are. report em that way they might learn you cant do this type of thing
gasmaskman
If someone is seriously annoying me I report them (only happened once), otherwise I just ignore them. After a week I remove them, never bother me again.
Doing in a whisper doesn't really matter....

I don't understand why this is not more readily apparent.
If you aren't a racist, political correctness doesn't seem to exist. It certainly doesn't chafe.

Come on guys, please don't enter now in the discussion of the game is plenty o morons, I dont like the kind of people that don't fix their own problems, I don't like the kind of people that don't like the kind of people...
We all are humans, we all think different and we all have our own way of living and thinking. There is good boys there are bad boys, there are boys that aren't good or bad.
So, please, this was a post to know if there was any mechanism to control the people who don't respect the coexistence rules. Now, I know the way to go. Don't make this a flame of people shouting.
Thanks.
