Chat Moderation Methods & My Opinion

[mtbarden3 68]

That perspective is precisely why forum reports became obsolete... "getting a piece of someone" is not in our job description nor is nice. Yes, they swear and insult but frankly, most of us do. Can we change that? No. Can we help players protect themselves and / or help build a better environment on the chat? Yes, we can. At least that's what we're trying to do. More of my thoughts on that subject is here.

 

As for your other point, as said, mods are volunteers who are doing this job gladly, but are also players of this game and they want to play a game or two with their friends. We, as administrators cannot forbid that nor we want to.

 

It's a different point of view - I'm against rewarding players for reporting others, but rewarding them for good behaviour is something different. Of course, like most things, hard to make and implement to automatically serve all the players in this game but never the less, a good idea.

 

I'll be glad to forward it to our CM.

This would be really interesting, sort of like mission chains but behavior chains... And then possibly just keeping a small weekly bonus each week (nothing nearly as large as the mission bonuses). The only problem I could see is that this should probably only be implemented after the removal of the forum reporting system. Many players (including myself in the past, but not anymore) would just troll to try and break normally good players behavior streak.

     Cool! Maybe we will see it in a future update, maybe Tanki-X. But the topic is still debatable. Also, *nonetheless. :3

Hate to break it to you, but "never the less" is a synonym of "nonetheless" and means the same thing.

 

"adverb; in spite of that; notwithstanding; all the same."

 

Sowwy ;)

:D Too bad Chat Moderator applications are closed, I'd apply. Also, I didn't join two days ago... this is just an account for my YT Channel. I remember when you were a Forum Moderator, I believe? Or maybe it was just a Chat Moderation position. :P

PM me please.

But the problem is that there are players who abuse for no reason and this type of players are found in battles. Moderators are indeed doing great work but they cant be in every single battle to ban these evils, so without the ability to report them on forum how are we gonna deal with them? Ignoring them isn't a solution, Those players are so bitter they abuse not only you but your family also this makes the victim mad and hence a quarrel starts. If you remove the forum reports they will get an open hand to use harsh words.

 

I understand your point of view and I agree that it's a real problem. Blocking players from the view probably works in battles too, so I'd try that approach. The thing is that there are hundreds of battles out there and no way to moderate them all in real time. It's also not possible to deal with all the reports - if all the players start reporting profanities from each and every battle they are playing, on daily basis, mods will never see the light of the day again :D I know it all sounds like an excuse but there's really a limit in what can be done this way. 

In short, we need some automatic system of chat moderation in the battles, or at least automatic censoring system but I doubt it can be made and implemented at this point. We can certainly suggest that to devs. In the meantime - block, block, block.

You truly do make a valid point, but we could replace it with a system in-game that's more convenient. Maybe, the minimum rank to use this system would be 'Master Corporal.' This was already suggested with-in a thread in the 'Ideas' section, and I believe it was under review last time I checked upon it. 

That was one of our suggestions to devs and I think it will be implemented soon.

It's definitely a good idea but we can only forward it, it's not like we have any say in that :)
