There are some incredibly hilarious forms of harassment in on-line games. Talking smack is a national pastime and appropriate for war games: particularly when someone is acting ridiculous and you and all of your friends just attack them with witty insults… have you ever made a kid cry? I have… It was wondrous. What!?! He deserved it, kid had a mouth.
Anyway, my favorite type of harassment is the use of soundboards and the application of a little computer know how. This often takes place over proprietary voice over Internet protocols such as Ventrilo or TeamSpeak, that allow members of the same team to communicate with each other in-game over the net. This is used for such games such as World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online, and Counter Strike. On a private “vent” that is controlled by an individuals personal server (and can be password protected), these mischievous Pucks gain access and make copies of the users profiles (mirrors) so that they can never be “kicked” from the room and to avoid be “muted”. Sometimes they even record the voices of the people they are harassing to mock them. Here are my favorite examples:
