Reporting by nothing?

[Unsinkable_Lawyer]

Since the last rules violation policy, I'm seeing a constant situation in chats.

 

Now all report a player for nothing only to see him banned.  And they make jokes and funny, As if that were funny or cool.

 

I saw a few minutes a go 3 playes asking to the rest of team to report a DD because he didnt put smoke to them (the DD has sunk!). After report him, everybody start to laugh and make jokes about him.

 

I tried to say that was unfair and incorrect. The result? 3 players threatened me reporting for nothing. 

 

Theres another many others players being banned for nothing right now.

 

Please, don't come to me the squires of the game. I want to know what to do with this reporting festival with no reasons.

 

What to do in this case?

Nope, reports for the new thingy are looked over by a human. And if the false reports are done enough by a single player, I assume something will happen to said reporter...

 

Generally if someone has been banned they've done something wrong, but you can also submit a ticket to support if you think you've been banned for no reason. But do it in a very polite way.

Don't worry about it. Automatic bans aren't gonna be handed out left and right. All the reports given are going to be reviewed by WG staff.

The only bans that will be automatic will be chat bans, but as said above, you can submit a ticket for one that you believe to be unjustified. All other bans (in game and forums) will be looked over and decided on by a WG staff member.

I'll start by saying... and this is a surprise to you? This is exactly what I thought would happen. Same thing with when the TKing rules came into effect, just like I said everyone went from TKing to intentionally being TKed.

 

Only difference is in this case every single report is investigated by a human, so the ones getting banned are going to be the jerks abusing the system.

Problem is with the way the system is currently set up these automatic chat bans that people are DEFINITELY going to be getting unfairly left and right now happen without the Human eyes that touch the strike system. Players should not have to submit a support ticket because another player is abusing the system to get them banned. These auto chat bans should not happen or should be based around a bot that detects keywords like hate speech, drug references, etc that WG has a problem with. All other chat bans should come directly from WG themself by cases that are reviewed if they receive enough in-game reports from players.

 

 

TL;DR, current in game chat autoban system sucks and does not work with the new strike systems... at all. The auto-ban that happens now when enough players report someone for chat abuse needs to be changed to a notification sent to a WG member to investigate, and a bot needs to be put in to pick up on and ban anything players might say that WG absolutely will not excuse, to hand out chat bans automatically.

I agree that some parts of the auto-reporting are wrong, however that doesn't really have anything to do with the latest rules violation announcement.

I thought the new policy doesn't take effect until Monday Aug 8th

It does though. Not everyone reads forums. Not everyone has the best head on their shoulders and reads every word or understands it even if they do. A lot of people are still going around with the unbased fears that these in game auto bans are going to get them strikes- hell, the people DOING this stuff probably think it's going to get people auto-banned and think they're abusing the system (little do they know what's coming to them). It DOES have to do with the latest rules violation announcement even if it shouldn't. Besides, with the new system every single auto ban will get investigated now anyways, there's no reason to keep an autoban system when the report is sent in anyways when- and this is just a guess- at least half of the time it's just people abusing it anyways. Auto bans can easily be limited to a bot handling the worst of crimes (this should also trigger an investigation notification to a WG employee just in case things are picked up that shouldn't have been, and this happens all the time with bots) so that the system can't be abused anymore. Yes, people who are causing hell can continue to cause hell until they get their strike, but it rarely persists more than one game before they either rage quit or get over it.
