about the report button...

(and thanks for implementing it, by the way)

what happens when we report someone?

does it have any immediate effect? does it bring up a warning for that player or does it send an alert straight to ryan? and what measures are taken following this?

when we report someone, it would be good to have a section where we could write in what we are reporting them for, and at which game number and table the incident occurred, along with a screenshot if we had taken one, rather than just selecting 'inappropriate chat.'

i reported a player, "faithfreeride" the other day for a completely unnecessary homophobic hate rant on clarke, and posted some of the chatbox text on his to give others some idea of what he's like.

as far as i know, he is still playing, and this morning he posted on /my/ profile, with the charming reply of "fuck you ya bitch ass cunt".

did reporting this player actually make any difference, and if so, what? it would be useful to know more about the process.

People probably remember my thread about homophobic rants at some point last year - and all the pges i made there ...

So how about this: If at least 5 people report repeated four letter words etc. from somebody, that player gets a little badge like 'kdice hater' in every game. Would that be too much to organize? It would also be funny if the player himself (usually him, not her ...) couldn't see the badge. And of course we would have to restrict use of the report button - nobody could report more than, say three or five people - and reports from reported haters wouldn't count.

A chat from today:

Eric Sabourin: idiots..
Eric Sabourin: fucking niggers
sypgo: reported
Eric Sabourin: why doesn't this community grow some fucking balls
Eric Sabourin: and reporting doesn't do anything
...
Eric Sabourin: i've been 'reported' hundreds of time
Eric Sabourin: nothing's ever happened
...
Eric Sabourin: fucker

Seriously, we need the report button to do something ... Just my humble opinion.

"Freedom of speech has NO limits"

Clearly you know very little about what 'freedom of speech' actually means.

The most typically given response, but certainly not the only one, to that completely inaccurate assertion, is that freedom of speech does not allow you to falsely shout 'fire' in a crowded movie theater.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech

You may have the 'ability' to say anything you like, but that doesn't mean you get a free pass on escaping the repercussions from doing so. A simple example would be the consequences of slander & libel.

These extremely offensive players are crying for somebody to slap them, either because they are missing the repression they get in their real lives or simply because they are brats that never learned to behave in front of strangers.

It is sad to think that many of them are already "adults",...,which does not excuse the younger ones!
