Dear teamliquid

Just then i was harassed in a ladder game, i have never played him or seen him for that matter, he abused me and called me many disgusting things for no particular reason.
I was offended and frustrated when i lost( a lot of lag from here)

What can we do about this sort of racism? i am lost and not sure what to do because this is the first time things like this has ever encountered me

i have posted a few screenshots

If he isn't famous i dont think there is anything you can do besides reporting him to blizzard and they may or may not look at your report. If he is famous, however, you are in luck! Try emailing his sponsors or try starting a thread on TL so people can hunt this guy down and end his career!

Report him and use the ignore function. What else would you want to be done?

I want to take this opportunity to say that I'm disgusted by increasing BM on ladder these days. Blizzard is too damn slow to ban sad kids. -.-
I'm not sure if it's the same for you as well.

Just send a report to blizzard nothing much else to do, if he is known nothing much will happen either as history with known players saying worse things in sc2 amounted to nothing.

You have a decent chance of getting Blizzard to take some action considering the fairly vile hate speech. Ignore add him, report him and try not to let it get to you.

yeh... I don't wanna sound like a dick.
But we can't do shit about it here, and no1 really cares.
There's a report function + ignore + only accept whispers from friends function in the game.
No need to post such things here, it's the internet. Shit happens.

Ignore it, move on.

If you need further consolation, think for a minute how much frustration and how little value there must be in someone's life that their outlet is being unnecessarily insulting to a stranger in a video game.

I pity most people who rage at me.

This was the case for Terran players since for ever. I can say it's more, indiscriminate now lol.

All it is is words over the INTERNET. You should just laugh at people like this. Just be positive back with 's and ♥'s .

All people like this want is a reaction and you gave him one.

There is no point on posting this on TL, it's very apparent bnet holds a lot of people who act like this. Simply ignore andreport and move on. Being offended sadly isn't enough to warrant much.

Sorry Soup, this isn't really the place to post this sort of thing as TL can't really do anything.

In terms of what you can do, there's a function ingame which allows you to block the opponent's chat. If his speech is really getting to you (and I can understand it doing so), use that.
Random for life!

Report and ignore is the tools available. A thread on TLdoesn't affect his BM (non-famous players).

I know blizzard acts on reports, as they gave me a 24h ban for writimg some rather offensive stuff to an opponent :-/.

I would like to echo the thoughts of this good sir, why do this kind of threads even happen, have you not played any online game before ? If so than you are still over reacting but just takes this good man advice and move on, if you did play other online games... and who hasn't ? than whats even the point of posting this ?

Unless someone has a name such as "p3do9hile" or some other immature and highly frowned upon by society name, blizzard won't ban you for non-hack/boot reason and damn right they shouldn't.
Its called liberty of speech... and the only penalty should be a non official one, aka being ignored considered immature.
A good strategy means leaving your opponent room to make mistakes
