I beat a guy 2 days in a row in an m14 draft and each time he kept telling me I was terrible and a dork that played too much and just won because of luck. He actually kept messaging me after the event and so far its the only person who I actually bothered to file a report on.

This is hilarious. The player doesn’t know what a desperate loser he/she is acting like. I know it stings players to have value yanked from them through unexpected losses but get real. Unless we are grinding pro tours at the highest levels or own a store, Magic isn’t even what puts food on the table for us so why get our panties in a bunch about losing? Sigh…why do so many people have such poor coping abilities?

How do you balance the comfort and well-being of the MTGO community against the needs of the business to maximize profits?
In my mind there is only one simple answer. Ban the person. Even if they spend 1000s of dollars. This is not the kind of behavior one wants to tolerate if you’re trying to build a community.

Alternatively, some other online game sites I frequent have the concept of an ‘abuser’ flag, which allows one to avoid playing people that are so marked. You can even envision banning the person from tournaments until the flag gets removed, either by time or by some other measure.
