Getting warnings in whispers from a guildmate

Sometimes when I get whispers from a guildmate, I get a warning about the message offering to let me report him. These are completely innocuous messages. He’s the only one I 've ever seen this with. What is causing that?

It would probably help to know which character and when you are receiving those messages, but my guess is the content of those messages may contain language that could be considered harassing. It might also have to do with their name, but I don’t know if the system extends to that off hand.

The system news can be found in the Content Update Notes.

  • REAL TIME CHAT MODERATION
  • Whispers that may contain harassing chat sent from a player you are not friends with will now be hidden. You will be prompted with a warning message asking if you’d like to see it anyway. If the whisper is revealed, there will be a Report Player option directly in the message so the offending player can be reported easily. This feature can be found in Options > Social > Censor Messages.

You should be able to just friend them. :slight_smile:

Here is the message he sent to me:

“Ur knowledge of the game and willingness to explain it to othrs makes you great in my humble opinion”

Well, obviously compliments are totally harassing. :smiley:

I have no idea, Huroug. Maybe submit a bug report through the Support menu in-game.

Have you placed them on your friend’s list? If so, do you still get the messaging?

I added him as a friend so hopefully no more problems. But why I would get that at all is totally bizarre.
