Add a report function to report toxic players.

Post by Cris » Wed Oct 10, 2018 9:33 am

Too many people in SFD are ruining our game experience. There's certain players that would act out normally as they should. I know since I don't use forums a lot I tend to not know any resolutions on how to report people from being toxic. People who are being toxic would say in chat, "AHAHAHA or JAJAJAAJAJ or EZEZEEZEEZ and NOOBBBSSSS XXXDDDDXXXDDD." many other people tend to get very mad and leave the game. But if people leave the game then there will be barely any people playing. Which is why I have come to a conclusion that there should be a command that all players can use. A report option that once typed /report (players name) the report saves into the chat log of the host. The host can review the report and if it is true then they can do something about the report. However if it is a listen server then the report just goes directly to the host in a private message or a host message. Thank you for you time in reading this; I am very frustrated with all these players ruining other players game experience. Please do something about this.

Off Topic
I was intending to merge this thread with the other topics about this relatively basic feature but oddly enough there aren't any other topics just yet! Here's a small suggestion posted in the past regarding the issue with a couple of replies but other than that turns the idea was left unexplored for the most part.

You know what to do!
/discuss

EDIT: If you do find other posts discussing this in greater detail do let me know :blush:

This could be a good idea, however I see an issue if the host is hosting a dedicated server and is not around. Maybe a “vote to kick” system, if the entire server can come to a concensus on whether they should be kicked for not, similar to Counter Strike.

I feel like this is ruining our game experience more, and the people who enforce it too:

(in the second link you can see me typing after that kick because I called out the host for how unfair he was being, and I was later banned with no reason stated by him)

This voting system would be of no use to the innocent and legit players because the ones that are the real problem can just use it on other players to have a good laugh - even when they've done nothing. I've noticed how the numbers of actual toxic players have gone up in SFD. It's a good possibility that they take their anger out on people in this game or they're just like that normally, but as the numbers of these kinds of players have gone up, the numbers they come in when in servers have definitely increased as well. Often times I'll join an American or Mexican server (situation rarely happens in European servers), kill the host, or just a member of their little alliance they form, and get verbally harassed the whole game while being ganged up on in 2-4 on 1 fights that are unwinnable when the host gives them all bazookas until I just leave because of the amount of boredom that comes over me when they do this to me. I say "boredom" because it's not like I'm flipping every table in my damn house because I've just died. I obviously don't try my best in-game and nor would I want to, as it proves nothing. It becomes boring because when I literally get spawn killed each round, it becomes obvious that I can't really do anything and I don't have a purpose in that game, therefore I'd rather play something else. In the end, I leave the game or just get kicked/banned after killing the host.

Therefore, I don't think a "vote to kick" system would be the greatest idea. Perhaps if people just learned that it's just a game and also to possibly stop acting like assholes to others, we wouldn't need to have discussions like this.

Please don't turn this into another rant thread. I have removed one of the links you posted and issued you a warning for breaking rule #3. Your descriptions of the issue don't need to be this specific, you can get your point across without going into detail about which host and which group did what to you in what specific server, location and occasion.

@Powerbombs you made some good points here buddy. I was under the assumption that after the release of the game on steam will flush out all the toxic kids since you will actually have to pay for it. However giving it a second thought, this might not be so good for the innocent player who just wanted to play.

Although those rules attached in that picture are absolutely rediculous, it’s none of our buisiness the way they want to host their server. Not to bring politics into this but I agree with the “gay wedding cakes” idea, where if someone won’t sell you your wedding cake because you are homosexual, just got to a different bakery. It’s their loss anyways. If the host of that server wants to kick everyone that doesn’t confide to their crazy rules, then no one will join, and he will eventually leave and die off.

To conclude. I retract my statement about vote to kick. However, a report feature would still be good

You didn't even have to say all that to conclude this one line lol. anyway, if a "vote to kick" system can be abused, what makes you all think that a report function can't be abused?

Well, what i invisioned a “report” command to do would simply notify the host or mod, which they can than review and decide whether disciplinary action is needed

Yeah but I’m assuming this command would simply notify the host or mod of the events that occurred instead of them having to dig through a ton of chat messages.

I kind of feel like this command would be abused because I've had some people get mad at me just for beating them, maybe we can just make muting players easier somehow?

I don’t really see how this can be abused. If the host sees a report saying something as benign as “beating someone” then they probably won’t do anything about it. And if they do then screw their server and join another one. All this command would be in my eyes is a notification to any hosts or moderators that are in the server where the host can review and assess what had happened. Maybe an instant replay of the last 30 seconds or say can be sent to the moderator along with the chat.

Not sure what you meant by "benign", but people can still fake a report, even then there would still be no proper way through which the host can understand if a report is legitimate or not. sending a clip of last 30 seconds isn't going to happen, the game will need an integrated recorder and a database to maintain it.

Good point. To be frank, this feature sounds like it would have too many issues for it to be implimented at this point, however I think this is still worthy of a discussion.

Merged a new take on an idea with an already existing thread.
Okay, you see a toxic player, You talk to kick him, With the cause of a toxic player,
He kicks. Everything is good yes? But there is no host, what to do?
So, My idea, Voting, Voting to kick a person With a reason You can write
, For example: "Toxic player" Or "violation of server rules" In general, write something.
Also in the vote, you can vote for: Change map, player's ban, player's kick, and something else that you yourself will come up with

Write in the comments that you can improve, Translated: Google translator

Voting for player ban is absolutely rediculus. I used to be kinda onboard with the others but now I see how it can be abused. I’m sure there is a script or something that can be made if people actually want this.
