Imagine its a afternoon
on a friday so you grab
your controller and look
forward to a nice
relaxing afternoon but
then a toxic person
comes and ruins you fun
what do you do?

Just leave the game
When playing with a toxic
person they will try to make
you mad. Unless you or your
team is popping off just
leave and join a different
game. Over 80% of gamers
have experienced some form
of toxicity in their career.
The majority of games have
multiple different servers,
for example Fortnite has a
maximum of 54 in ohio. So if
there is a toxic person just
jump onto a different
server.
Ignore them
A toxic person's goals are
to make you feel bad or to
annoy you. If you give them
attention by not talking back
to them they may stop. The
majority of games have
options that allow you to
mute them or to allow you
not to hear anyone in the
game. Google says that
eventually the toxic would
move onto an easier victim.
Finally Ignoring people or
muting everyone may not be
the best way because what
if someone needs help or
wants to give you something.

Block them
This is probably the best
way to make them not bother
you, just block them if you can.
The majority of bigger games
and alot of smaller games have
an option to block whoever you
want. Also unless the toxic is
also a hacker there will be no
way for you and him to pay
together. In addition if you
accidentally banned your friend
there should be a way to unban
them. The last thing I should say
is that if you ban someone they
will have no way to talk to you
or end up in your game
If all else fails
play tomorrow
This is probably the best
way to make them not bother
you, just block them if you can.
