I was wondering if we could have a more customizable ban, well not customizable, but when a player gets banned they are at least show the reason.

Also I was wondering if we could ban people based on there IP or just every account they own because in my Discussion Board, everyone is spamming telling me to kill myself.

you're a underage child lmfao just leave

dude im not eve nin the fnf community actually go away this is harassment

You’ve made yourself known to children, and those who know no better way to spend their time than on the internet. This sort of thing happens, but usually dies off after a week or so (provided you don’t provoke them further). My suggestion is to wait it out.

oki

but im not provoking them aat all there provoking me

So why don’t you be the better person and ignore them?

k

bro hes a child himself, and hes lying his ass off

dude this is harasment

It makes no difference who he, the victim, is.

Harassment of any user is against the rules. Underage users are allowed on Itch.io, just like everyone else.

If you can’t behave, please avoid interacting with any user you do not get along.

Wait underage users ARE allowed on Itch.io???

Yes, according to law minors can use online services starting from 13 years old in the US, and 16 years old in Europe, ideally with parental supervision. And we try to be inclusive.

what about uk

If anyone is harassing you, please use the “Report” button visible in most places, including on each post. Harassment of any user is against the rules, and reporting it will help a moderator or admin have a look.

Why does it say harassment, I never changed it to that.

And if I report someone, say on a community run discussion board, half the time nothing happens, due to itch,io not moderating them.

Wait, do you mean here in the main community, or in jam / game communities? It's true I'm sometimes slow to take action. But we don't have any power at all over games and jams; reports go to their respective owners. Site admins can get involved, but they're busy, and they have to find out there's a problem in the first place.

Edit: I renamed the topic to make the title more clear. I know people don't like it, so I try to avoid that, but it literally said just "hmm".

No, I just mean places like the FNF community, or my community, that's what I mean, communities/discussion boards made by users. not the actual itch.io

Oh okay yeah i guess hmm is stupid
