When I was capturing too many of my opponent’s stones, he typed something in spanish in the chat. The word alone already can be seen as resembling the N-word in english, depending on the context, but when coupled with a curse word that he used, I would say it can definitely be compared with a high degree of similarity. At the very least, it was a racial insult. (I don’t speak spanish, but portuguese, although what he said differs by just one letter in portuguese. The expression in particular is almost the same.).
I reported the profile for harassment and included what he said (I believe it’s a cause for banning). My question is: how can someone delete a chat message? I thought it wasn’t possible. I didn’t take a screenshot in time and a few minutes later the message was gone. You can see that something happened, because the move is highlighted, but the message itself is blank. How did he delete the message?
A moderator can delete chat messages - if you can find one on-line and PM them typically they’ll do it.
If you report someone for harassment, it automatically blocks them for you. That seems to be what has happened in this case.
You can manually unblock them (click on their name and click Block to get that menu)
Note that moderators do not routinely delete reported harassing messages after they have been reported, because it gets confusing to work out what happened coming back to it later.
Thanks, that’s it. When I unblocked his messages I could see it again and also another insult. I saw other games of him and actually he curses a lot and insults the opponents. I could see the N-word literally written, also the C-word. This person needs to be banned.
I’ll check later , but I think the weird message was already gone and the problem still exist. The message doesn’t appear anymore covering the screen, it’s gone and I still can’t play.
