How do I report harassment or spamming?

We want the community to be a safe environment for all members of ArmorGames.  So if you are someone that is being bothered by or harassed because of another member of the community we ask that you make sure to report this to a member of our Moderators or the Administrator team. 

Inappropriate Behavior

This is happening to someone else

If you see someone harassing another user, spamming excessively or otherwise making a lot of trouble, you can report them to a moderator or by reporting the user within the chat channel.

Note: It is important you do not involve yourself in other users' trouble. White-knighting* is not looked upon fondly and does nothing but escalate the problem. Instead, step back and report to a mod.

* From Urbandictionary: "On an internet forum, a person who defends a member who is clearly wrong, usually with the hopes of gaining brownie points with said member. Often seen as negative behavior."

This is happening to me

First of all, don't reply to them. If this is an argument that started escalating, stop replying. The less you are involved in the trouble, the better. After that, you should report the user in question to a moderator. They will mediate between you and the other user if they find the problem to be solvable.

If the comments are on your own profile, do not delete the comments before you have gotten a reply from a moderator, as you otherwise might remove evidence.

Spam

If you find spam posts or comments on the site, you are welcome to use the little red flag on the right side of the screen. This alerts the admins to the problematic comment, which will then proceed to be deleted.

Note that this system might take a while to get something done, but it will get addressed.

How to report behavior on the Forums?

Please report this by visiting a moderator's profile and leaving a comment there including a link to the offending user's profile as well as a link to where this trouble is going on.

Usually, one link is enough, but in case this is happening on several users' profile, it is preferred to give several links to get the whole picture of what is going on.

How do I report behavior inside a game's chat channels?

If the chat has happened within a specific game depending on the game you may have options to block or report someone directly within the game.  If this is an MMO, please make sure to report the behavior using the ingame reporting feature or contact the game's developer to report the behavior directly.
