the morg post is a joke.
guys are guys, girls are girls. It is natural for us to band together, because we have more common interests with our own sex than with the other sex. I´m sorry if it offended you, but it´s just a joke about making a group for "real men". We arent against any girls wanting to play with eachother, we just thought it was witty to comment on it and make a satiric joke about it. I cannot say anything than smile at it and start joking with some of us. I know you rydr people like to joke about me forexample

Sorry Skrim, but that's a load of crap. That was made in obvious retaliation to some strangely perceived slight, something created to basically disrespect a group trying to do do something together, and has no place on these forums, Pit material or not. I do hope there, at the least, was an apology for posting it.

I would be lying if I said I never heard this harassment of female players ingame, but to be negatively compared to DotA in this regard is pretty harsh. When I do hear it in GOI it is usually when a woman uses voice chat for the first time in a lobby, which is usually responded to by "there are no women on the internet" and various other insults. I accept it can be hard to open your mouth when you know it is going to invite trolling, but if people don't get used to hearing female voices in their games the novelty of harassing the one or that popup will not go away.

I am not an expert on the matter, so take that advice with a grain of salt. Also if we can't get the trolls to identify themselves how can the community band together to run them out of town? I do love flying as the munker ally to a troll ship.

The most I have ever done is told people to change their loadouts. If using voice chat and telling crew members what they need to bring while female is so rude that it warrants this sort of attack then I do not know what to say.

And yet my experiences here have been worse than my experiences in dota. I do not know what am I supposed to do here. Should I just keep quiet and not voice my discomfort because it would make us look bad, or because it would hurt the community's ego?

People say mining your ally is trolling, but most of the time it is vigilante justice.

On the topic at hand, it's awful that you ladies still have to experience this kind of treatment. I really want to believe that the goi community is better than this, or at least better than other games. I personally have rarely witnessed it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. However i don't think the people that exhibit this kind of behavior are not really part of our community, and in goi community really means something, we act like one, it isn't just a word to describe the people that play the game. I hope the mods having powers will be enough to deal with these issues, as it will be a long long time before we can change human tendencies to be terrible to each other.

Thomas:
It was mentioned earlier, but all reports are handled by a human and taken very seriously. We do have a protocol to follow, so in most cases you won't see players banned immediately. We like to give players a chance to correct their behavior and become good members of the community. If issues occur again, punishments are likely to follow dependent on the severity and number of occurrences.

If you are having issues and need it taken care of immediately, especially incidents involving voice chat, contact a moderator or CA. Only Mods can take action, but CA's are able to get in contact with Mods easier to bring them into the game when possible. They can also act as an unbiased observer to an incident and help clarify what has happened. To be fair to everyone involved, Moderators need to have a good understanding of the situation before taking action; so be patient and help them understand if they arrive after it occurred. If a CA, Mod, or Dev is present during an incident and not doing anything, make sure they're actually paying attention to the incident. Many times players tab out, leave their computer, etc. Sometimes they're just zoned out and focusing on something else (teamspeak, skype, muble, music, etc)
