Question

Help answer this question below.

When someone steals someone else's avatar and name, because they didn't like the answers/points they were getting under another name, do you think the best route is to downrate/flag, or simply ignore them? I tend to go for ignoring them.

I'd ignore them..but if it persisted I would ask the moderators for help.

- Thanks for your answer. This individual doesn't sound like an adult...probably just a lonely teenager, so I don't want to upset him. He's clearly very unhappy.

My best choice is to actually report situations like these.

I happened to end up in many situations where I was made fun of, and had my name, and avatar stolen. I sent the report to the staff. After that, the activity stopped for me.

I don't downrate.

Best thing to do is report them. There have been too many cases where someone has cloned an account to give the normal ABer a bad name by DRing people, causing trouble in questions, answers, and comments, and, in general, making an ass of themselves.

And too many people don't pay THAT much attention to the levels, so it may take them a while to realize that it's NOT their friend.

Report them... Via Feedback from THEIR profile, to a CL (see http://www.orangefrogproductions.com/ofp2m_faq_ab_policing.shtml#cl ), or to the blog. Report them as a clone, and report what they are doing.

How to react when someone is ignoring u?i have this friend that i really like & i think he likes me 2 cuz he asked me out several times,anyways he suddenly started ignoring me on msn..even when i talk to him he doesn't answer should i ignore him back?

Don't you wish AB had an "ignore" feature, so you could list people you didn't wish to interact with, and their questions/answers would never show up on your computer? Who's name would be on your ignore list?

Do you think it unethical to down-rate someone's answer if it takes the form of an opinion, but you didn't feel that it was 'helpful'? I mean, by that, it didn't add to your understanding of the issue?

I'd like to see AB add an IGNORE button for each user. If I choose ignore on someone I would not see their answers or questions. This is similar to what you find in forums. It would use profile so name changes w/not matter. Should we ask for this?

Does anyone else think it would be a good idea to make a space for another smaller avatar so you could upload the flag of the country you come from?
