I dunno about you guys, but some people I report I get very, very concerned about (Recently I reported someone who was harrassing a young girl for her real name, facebook, ect). I was thinking maybe when we logged on, if the person had been banned, we get a small popup that tells us that they have been to ease our worries.

Then again, I don't know what the cons of this would be. What do you guys think? It's changing nothing but showing us the person has been banned to ease worries. It's still up to the mods.

This would also probably ease the flood of "THE MODS AREN'T DOING THEIR JOBS", if they really are.

I just don't really see why you want to know if someone has been banned, I mean, wouldn't you notice that they're no longer there or they're no longer insulting someone?

Not if the person often changes rooms very often. EX: If the person was, as above, harrassing a certain player through whisper from multiple rooms, you would not know if they're gone or if they're still harrassing the person unless told. For more example: I've been dealing with a hacker for about a month. This person was going up through ranks ect by using hacks. They SEEM to have gone away but i'm not sure at all and it bothers me that they may still be running about using unfair tactics to support themselves.

It also provides peace of mind for those who were victimized by something, for example, harassment. Just because a bully is not around, doesn't mean he isn't coming back. Worse case scenario, someone quits or entirely avoids a room due to bullying (module, etc, for example if the game is more competitive and targeting is used; whereas the ignore feature would fail), and is unable to enjoy that room or module, trying to avoid said person. Should they hear their reports were acknowledged and the person is banned, they should feel more security in returning, and willingness to play.

yes./support

You do get a notification if you use the report system, though? Or mods will tell you if a resolution has been met.

To the above: I have never been informed. Ever. Nor do the mods ever tell me if they've banned a person if i've reported them - it's too much trouble for them to tell everyone who's reported, "Hey, they're banned now!" The only time I know is if the person is in the room and is banned infront of me. Then I get the +1 Karma message. Otherwise, I do not. In the case of what I had to deal with right before I posted this thread, I would have greatly appreciated to know if this person is banned or not. I still have no idea.

That's difficult to do for younger players. They may not know how the game works enough to be able to blacklist the person or they may be too scared to do so as it was when I was trying to help the younger girl. Yes, I may be able to keep an eye on the guy, but that does not help the other person in the situation at all unless the moderators do something or I can convince the person to blacklist them (which is hard to do for a younger player, as some of you may know). I also do not want to have to constantly check my profile questioning if a certain player is online or not when i'm trying to play the game. This just seems like an overly complex solution to a simple problem that younger players will not be able to utilize or understand. It also requires daysworth of checking if you do not check CFM to see if the person logs in or not on your friendslist.

This isn't really about me, it's more about the fact of convienice for younger players who don't know how to do this. If they're bullied, manage to report the person, but know none of these things, it's useless. Entirely.

This is geared (or was supposed to be) toward younger players. I think it's best we make it friendly for the younger players instead of assuming we can all check CFM, ect. No offense intended.

Agreed.
