invalid Don't show battles with ignored players (Improve the ignore function)

[jdc20181 213]

The Ignore function is great for people who are annoying in chat, but what about trolls, mults, and others who are just simply horrible to play with (I don't mean how they play as a style I mean actiosn that are sabatoge etc)

 

Anyways - 

 

The idea is to not show battles with players on your muted list. 

 

It doesn't mean you can't join them, for example someone posts a link in Global chat, and you click on it - It just gets you away from having to deal with those players who seem to make tanki a horrible place at times. 

 

Important Edit

 

It was suggested by Mafioso to show those battles, but show thier name in a different color e.g. red to represent they are ignored player and only to join if you really want to e.g. favorite map. 

 

So I am editing the suggestion to combine both ideas. 

 

Add a toggle button - to Hide battles in which include ignored players - if untoggled Case B will happen. 

 

which is what was suggestd by Mafioso, to show the player in a special color e.g. red.

I think a much better option is to simply be able to easily see players you blocked when looking at the battle. Something like a red highlight on their name and on the battle in the list, so that you can enter the battle if you really want to (e.g. if it's your favourite map), but still be aware of ignored players being present so that you can skip it and find another if you don't want to play with those you ignored.

Good idea! Maybe I should restructure the idea?

 

Maybe add a setting to not show battles with Ignored players if toggled my idea will happen if not toggled your idea will happen?

There's already at least 2 other topics suggesting the "restructured" version, so I don't think it's worth changing anything.

I added the edit because it makes more sense. And could be more appetizing to devs to implement.

Players are free to join in any battle they want, if you won't be able to read their messages in the chat, why the urgent about  stop joining in the same battle with them?

 

Just show them your skills and knock them.

[jdc20181 213]

Moaners are the same pain in the hull whether they're on your side or against you. @AbsoluteZero suggested in the past that cheaters you reported couldn't join your side for a period of time. Way more useful and urgent in my opinion.

 

I rather have the ability to hide battles or just show them in red so you don't have to play wtih them.

The point is to not have to play with trolls mults and other annoying players who distrupt gameplay, even myself would get blocked by a few lol because I told them to stop being trolls. 

 

Regardless a more effecient Black listing would work great so you don't have to play with them.

If you block an user, it's because he/she was annoying in the chat, it doesn't mean they will be unfair players or something like that. If this succeed, just report them and/or leave the battle.

[Mario3108 462]

But they'll still have the possibility to sabotage your battles... Do you see my point? :rolleyes:

And that's why the "Violations reports" exists.

Whole point of improving the ignore function, particularly targeted at Trolls, Mults, Rude players, players sabatoging or preventing fair game play and a whole list of others. 

 

By ignoring a player you can rid yourself of having to play with them. 

 

Sooo

 

Reporting them doesn't mean 1) They will stop 2) They don't have alt accounts so if they get banned its irrelevant 3) It isn't fair to players to have to continue to play blindly with these kinds of people. 

 

By ignoring them and warnign you they are in there will help user's gameplay experience.

[jdc20181 213]

Why are you all so stubborn!!!??? That's insane!!!

 

@jdc20181 suggested a way to spot infamous moaners or highlight battles where they are playing in because he's pissed by whines. Fine. However, his suggestion doesn't prevent moaners and "horrible" players from entering HIS battles. Moreover, I must have over 300 users in my ignore list so this feature would be pointless. That's why I quoted AZ's idea which prevents cheaters that you reported to join your team because once their ban is over, all these parasites have one goal only: revenge.

 

My idea is only the basic idea, if you read the orignal thread I said just don't show those battles at all, with the edit as suggested, ignored players should be highlighted like in a odd color Red or something to that nature. 

 

I also think you are correct, they could still join. But - maybe they will see that, and will come up with a similar idea based around hte suggestion to add this feature. 

[DDriggs00 7]

+1, I really like this idea

[Mario3108 462]

I am not stubborn. I'm just avoiding useless ideas, you also said it --> "It's pointless"

[jdc20181 213]

It isn't pointless. Because Bans aren't forever. I mean you cna get banned forever, the whole point is to create a  PLAYER BASED SYSTEM. That helps YOU the player get AWAY from trolls, mults etc. WITH OR WITHOUT REPORTING THEM. 

 

Improving the ignore function would be great for the game especially for blocking those who wish to not follow the rules of the game or simply being annoying. 

 

You say its pointless I DONT others feel the same way I DO.

[Mario3108 462]

 

But if you keep watching sabotages and other rules broken, you can follow reporting them, and so, they will be blocked. I think the players should deal the problem instead of avoid it.

Not avoiding it. Players shouldn't have to report it. It takes too much time, and 9 of 10 chances its only a temp. ban. So guess what. You deal with them again.  Shouldn't have my game play interfered with these players. There should be a easy way to fix it. 

 

 

Tired of trolls. Tired of hackers. Tired of mouthy little kids. And just tired with individuals who are just plainly interfering with me enjoying the game. 

 

"Should Deal with the problem instead of avoid it"

 

Then they should remove the ignore function all together lol... If you ignore a player for being mouthy, you are ignoring it. 

 

 

Even if they added this I would expect something like this - but didn't think it was neccessary to get so freaking technical. 

 

You ignore player - Pop-Up comes up - Choose why you are blocking the player - Report with User's name is sent in to Mods for a look. - Mods can take action if they see offensive content.

What are you talking about? :huh: Really?? I don't know what to think about you after reading that.  :blink:

Thanks to the violations reporters, each time there are less trolls, hackers, etc.Too much time?? It takes less than a week and it's more efficient. This kind of people won't be able to hide themselves in the shadows forever, and someday they will pay their rules broken. Each time when they are reported, the chance for them of getting a BLOCK FOREVER increases.

First of all, How often you see this kind of players in the game? :lol:

I find them in battles once a month. :lol:

The "ignore" option was created to stop seeing the messages from annoying people; it's not related with the sabotage or other violations like that. So, this option HAVE TO remain like it is.

There are lots of players who block other ones with the intention of stop seeing their messages (the UNIQUE intention it should be), and really... you have no idea about how hard would the work for the mods become.

[jdc20181 213]

Doesn't matter, they will never combat them all. This would simply provide a 1-step solution to get away from those players if you wanna continue playing with them be my guest but i sure as heck don't want to. 

 

Oh I know how hard it already is. It wouldn't be any different than what the violators section is now, they could automate a posting with the user's username, and a screenshot relevant to the time of the block. If the mod thinks or suggests it is neccessary to take action then it is taken otherwise the report is ignored. - or have a option field to send in a screenshot to a mod automatically. 

 

No no no no no. The ignore function right now is to just ignore people in chat but they'd probably make it a seperate button. Like Ignore Player which would block them from your battles (and showing them in battles before you join) and a Mute Player option which can only block thier messages. 

 

They would never remove 1 function over another. This is simply to suggest to add a option to block the requirement of playing with them.

You don't really know when to give up. :huh:

 

I already said all the answers for this another post too. And I still keep my thoughts on, about you have to deal the problem instead of avoid it. Do you also want to delete the Violation Reports?

[jdc20181 213]

no. Just wanna improve it. Why should we be required to report players outside of the game? 

 

I have been wanting to see stuff more in game for a long time. (mainly inside the client)

You were talking about adding another option apart from the "Ignore" option. So, why the tittle?
