Disgusting

(1/5) > >>

EXepTioNN:
I'm just disgust of how racist n stupid people can be... I've come across few players which were well sadly I can say everybody used to. but this one has crossed all the lines.

Kyren:
Racism and intolerance of any kind should have no space in our community. I'm sorry that you've had to deal with players like that, but we clearly do not want them - whenever you encounter any kind of racism or intolerance, no matter how minor it seems, help us out with reporting the player!

We sadly can't be everywhere, listening to all the voice conversations or checking the lobby at every moment, but that's where the report feature comes in very handy, it allows us to break down on those players with help from the more proper parts of our community!

Squidslinger Gilder:
You've never played competitive PVP games before have you?

Welcome to the internet. If you want to see how low humanity can go, buy an Xbox, a copy of Halo or CoD, then get on Xbox Live. You'll be offended probably a couple hundred times in the first 30 mins. Most of which coming from the mouths of kids and teens. I really don't blame that one guy for losing it and hunting that kid down that was in the news awhile back (think he knew him in real life if I remember right). If you don't get the urge to ring a few necks in the first 5 mins then you obviously have your speakers on mute.

You can partially thank the proliferation of voice chat in gaming. Where it used to take people time to stop and type their offenses, which would make some hesitate and rethink their stupidity, they now can just blurt out whatever they want without a care in the world.

Be sure to report people like this when you see them in game. The reports are checked and actions do get taken. Best thing you can do.

Plasmarobo:
This is actually one of the few communities I'm becoming passionate enough about to care when this sort of thing happens.

Jerry Holkins (Tycho) has the formula of Normal Person - Consequences + Audience = Total Fuckwad theory.
But especially in a game that more or less requires voice communication, it just makes me a bit sad. :(

Do the CAs have the power to ban a player? I usually just block/report offenders. But I assume that system could get overloaded pretty quickly.

Moo:
This is something that has been a big problem since the influx of players...
Maybe if the consequences were more visible, it'd be a better deterrent. When people are being intentionally antagonistic in global chat (spamming on purpose, bypassing censor etc) and only seem to ever get very mild requests to stop, even after persisting and ignoring previous requests... well... it's not surprising people think they are free to behave in such a manner, or worse. If the offenders were dealt with more quickly and more obviously it would do more to dissuade others from doing similar. Maybe the community standards could be linked to in the social page in game, and maybe recommended more for people to read when they fail to meet the standards.
For the reporting, how does it work? Is voice chat recorded? Are people's current ship names sent along with the report? Who looks at the reports, and how often? If there was more information given about the whole process, it'd give people more confidence in it. If there are poor reports, how about some feedback as to how they could be improved? If there are good reports, perhaps feedback could also be given, so people know they are helping.
Also some of the CAs could do better at leading by example...
