Dealing with Hatemail. The proper way.

I think that while playing this game we have all received some hatemail at some point. People will do it for anything. But something not everyone knows is how to respond to hatemail. So let's go over the best and worst responses. Let's start with bad responses: [b]The 12 Year Old-[/b] This response is very common, and involves using stupid comebacks that a 6th grader would use. "Your mom" jokes are a good example. By giving responses like these you only make the other dude laugh, when you want him to shit himself reading your response. Don't be a 12 Year old. [b]Using KD or "We won"-[/b] Another pathetic response. Using KD as an argument is just dumb and easy to counter. Also never use the argument "We won." That is the most common one I see. It's understandable if the game is ranked and what not, but this is Destiny, winning means nothing. Let's talk about the good responses now. These responses are meant to piss off the other guy, or just have him not message you after you obliterate him. [b]The broken record-[/b] Probably my favorite, this involves sending the same word or phrase to the guy after every message. It makes people infuriated. I have had a guy send me a voice message telling me I'm a piece of shit after I said "totally" to 5 different messages of his. It works great. [b]The pacifist-[/b] Another great one. This one involves appealing to what the guy says, it sounds stupid, buy works surprisingly well. Just say things like, "If it makes you feel better" or "I guess I do suck." People want to start arguments and make you mad. This just tells them that you don't care and it makes them angry. [b]The Babysitter-[/b] This one brings out the nastiness in people, and should be used when someone uses a plethora of vulgar words. But when they do this, just say stuff like "You talk to your mom with that mouth?" Or "Do you need your mouth washed out with soap?" If they are over 18 then you should prepare yourself for an onslaught of messages, but it's hilarious how angry they get. Edit: It seems that some people believe that [b]The Broken Record[/b] is similar that of a [b]12 Year Old.[/b] [i][u]Let me set the record straight.[/u][/i] [b]The Broken Record[/b] is on the maturity level of a 13 year old, which is what we all are here in the Destiny community. Affiliating our sophistication and maturity with that of a 12 year old is just insulting. [b][i][u]#13YearOldLivesMatter.[/u][/i][/b]

  • If they're vulgar, I just report them. I don't give them the pleasure of a response, I like to make them feel like they don't exist, which they really don't in my reality :p

  • Best way to deal with hatemail- report the message to sony/ microsoft. Hopefully theyll learn their lesson when they get account suspended of all communications for a set time due to it. A while ago i had someone message me swearing left and right and sending slurs and such. I sent back saying watch language kids could be on other end and he replied back with more swears. I just sent the report in for communication and sent a message saying i hope others dont sent reports like i did or youll learn our lesson fast. Next day I got a message from microsoft saying action was taken against someone i reported (dont report often at all so i knew who it was). Two weeks later i got a message from the same kid saying more swears and something along the lines of "I couldnt send messages or join friends in parties" and then more swears. Then reported him again for that. Message from microsoft again the next day.... then blocked the kid as well. Hopefully he learns his lesson this time. Dont want to follow the rules, pay the punishment when reported

  • I'm 25 but I get a kick out of saying "We won." When I get a message that has something along the lines of "You Suck." They always say something back to which I just keep replying we won. I had a guy finally break after 6 of these and he called me a "-blam!-ing 6 year old." Whatever gets results.

          • This one guy got super pissed at me once because I got a sweet double kill with one shot using my armor piercing rounds sniper. I suck at sniping, but I thought I'd try it(I now stick to shotgun/fusion rifle). Anyways, he got pissed, and said "sniping ass puśsy. And don't even try to insult me with some dumb bullshît". So, I replied and said "alright. I mean I'd love to insult you, but you're right. I'm afraid I'd never do as good as nature did". He didn't reply back.

              I will admit I've had a moment of weakness where I sent hate mail. [spoiler]Look, I swear, it was a one time thing. I'm not proud of it and it'll never happen again.[/spoiler] I have, on the other hand, been known to send a "good game" on occasion, regardless of if I win or lose. Especially if it was close or I end up going toe to toe with the same person a lot that game. It [i]is[/i] a game, a little courtesy never Hurts. Now when I [i]get[/i] hate mail... usually I laugh at it....say some smart-ass remark sure to infuriate them (similar to your "good retorts" )...Then block them....so they can't get the last word in. I imagine that really angers people and turning the tables is the most satisfying thing I can think of.
