How do you ask a moderator to look at something...

Post by ViolentSilence »

... if you're not entirely sure how to describe it?

I was looking at Roll For The Galaxy in Hotseat mode to try and learn the rules and had two users start generating random messages in the game log, one of whom put a swear word in. Doing a quick look through the replay though, their posts haven't appeared so I don't know how to actually report this. It would have been nice to have a flag option at the time to be honest

I did a copy and paste from the log so I have the users names if required

Game log? Not chat messages?

You do get strange chat messages from groups you're in appearing in the game log.
ViolentSilence is not in any groups though so I guess that comment is not very useful.

Yeah - that's what makes it weird. I've anonymised and slightly cleaned the things I saw, but this is part of what happened

If it had been in the chat box, I would have understood, but both users are too new to be allowed to talk in game chat, so I'm not quite sure how it's showing up in the way it does.

I'm not in any groups with these people, though I am in two private groups. One group has a fairly generic name so would having a group of the same name maybe be a cause? Just guessing at this point, but it makes asking for a mod to look at at what happened somewhat complex

The log messages may have been associated with the hotseat account's groups, which you could see while playing hot seat moves.

That's an interesting theory - it makes sense, though I don't know how the Hotseat would elect to join a group. I gave it the random name Bob if that helps the moderators look at it, in case it treated the hotseat name as one of an existing member

The hotseat account is automatically added to any game groups when it is added as a player. The alpha games have group discussion available, so that may be the cause. I cannot say for certain.
