Swatting & the Gaming Community

[poile]

Swatting sucks, are there any personal stories or opinions you have about this?
Also, the gaming community. As it grows in size, more trolls join in. Good or Bad? Experiences with Trolls? Tell all!

[Fork_Q2]

Swatting? As in armed SWAT officers breaching and entering my home because I got someone mad over an online game? Yeah, it happens every time I play CS:GO, you would have thought they realise by now it's just another hoax, but noooooo.

[Eros]

No stories but it's happening to livestreamers a bit more.

[poile]

Yeah, the livestreamers is what I was mainly refering to, its just I watched a video earlier of this guy talking about the time he got swatted, and I wanted to hear other gamers opinions and experiences with it. What is wrong with the gaming community nowadays to think this is funny?WTF

Certain people usually want to:
A:Be a ♥♥♥♥ to them
B:Grab attention
C:Find it humerous

Seriously, it's a miracle no one's been killed by this yet. When you call the police saying you've killed multiple people and plan on killing more it makes the officers think you're probably armed to the teeth and ready to kill.

It's not funny, and it's not even trolling anymore when you're putting someone elses life at risk. I find it very troubling that some teenager somewhere thinks this is funny, or hates someone enough to pull a stunt like that.

You mean what happened to that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, Kootra?
It's not really funny, I mean, the guy is in a match right now.

I dunno, there are some people on the off-forums that probably could do with that treatment...

I remember Kootra and was almost swatted because there was a guy name was ScrewPain, was the one whose responsibility for swatting. It's not funny and it's very serious that swatting would kill innocent people. I mean it's very dangerous for pranking gamers.

I really hate when the swat interrupt someone else in the middle of the stream.

Yes i have experience with trolls.

Here's one, Crashbfan.

This July, i saw his troll thread about something like trying to get his PS3 version of TF2 to work. Horribly misspelled was his post.

Together with one of my friends, we reported his thread and he got a 1 month ban. And then guess what?

He gets butthurt and starts spamming my profile with hate comments. I've hated trolls since that day.

Umm, could somebody explain what Swatting is? I've heard the name before but not exactly sure about the actual definition.

Swatting means it is very trickery of any emergencies when someone gave the prank call to police which it is base on false report which the swat almost kill people.

People call in SWAT squads on other players just because they're losing? Sounds a bit immature and unnessasary.

Yeah. An anoymous prankster call a swat squad and gave them their fake reports and target someone else's home which they think it is funny. But it's not.

And no, they're not losing. They were mostly likely target during livestream.

So, they're doing it for no reason besides 'for the LOLs'? That's even more immature than I thought.

Yeah, they're doing it without reasons which it is very bad. They are very irresponsibility than harmless joke.
