Board Game Arena

Hello,
Today I was reported to BGA for “cheating” because I wrote to my opponent: “Stop your stupid strategy, share your good cards, or call.” There's no cheating involved here—people need to stop talking nonsense... I should have written it in the main chat, that's true, but I'm not a cheater!

My partner thought I was rough; in fact, he mentioned it during the game, and my opponents accused me of cheating... I've been playing for years, and to be called a cheater over something like that is ridiculous.

The only problem with you and probably that is why you got reported is you often talk with bad manners to other people. To quote this particular post "Stop your stupid strategy." Also you can't report someone for "cheating" there is no such option when you go to report someone instead BGA tells you that if you think someone is cheating you should Red Thumb him/her. So I think you got reported because of how you talked.

And if you knew what I said already. Your opponents calling you a cheater, you should just ignore them.

In the real world, telling someone they're doing something stupid is never an insult... but on BGA, it's crazy—everything is an insult !

It's interesting how you chose to only post part of what you said to your partner. For context, here is the full transcript that they shared after the game:

share your good cards 16:00 always fucking stupid 16:00 I wanna call tichu but they called it first 16:00Stop talking plz^^ 16:01if you play well I don't need to call

Leaving out the core details about why you got reported is pretty lame, just saying.

Every time I play with him, it's always the same thing: I get bad cards and he gets good cards but doesn't do anything with them... Second: using the word “fucking” isn't insulting at all, just a recurring annoyance... And finally, when you copy excerpts from a conversation, copy them correctly—I corrected ‘call’ to “talk” in the last sentence.

Always fucking stupid... I'm talking about his strategy of always keeping the good cards on every turn... how am I insulting a player... Sure, depending on my mood, I sometimes go overboard when expressing my dissatisfaction, but I'm not being insulting toward the player as a person.

And finally, to wrap things up—after reading this, which, once I’ve calmed down, I can describe as excessive—my opponents accused me of cheating… I may be excessive, but I’m no cheater.

Ah, with "share" you mean give me some high cards... on first couple reads I understood "give me information about your cards", like, I think, ost would understand ....
