If you can't ignore/block/report them, tune them out. You don't owe anyone a response to anything they ask. If they say it on the job, you have every right to just up and leave. But also remember, there are children who play this game, especially on the weekends. If someone says something, especially in the Marketplace, tell them straight out loud that you don't like the questions they are asking and ask them to quit. Also tell them there might be 13 year olds in the room and to keep it clean.

Some people are just lonely, I guess. ?

Hello farmerKBW,

It isn't a good idea to respond to these individuals, that is what they want is a response from someone. If they are online and sending messages it is best to click on their avatar and report them, which automatically put them on your ignore list. According to the Terms of Service no one under 13 is suppose to be playing Farm Town and up to 18 must either have parental or guardian consent or be an emancipated minor.
