andreiblue.8231 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) In other games the players is usually notified after they report another player and they take action against the reported player. I think the support should do the same here. Edit: not sharing the username, but receiving an ingame notification about action being taken Edited July 25, 2022 by andreiblue.8231 3 1 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Why? What if you don't agree with the action taken? What if it is a mistake? Do you want your name bandied about for others to judge? Just like 'name and shame' is not allowed, likely this will not come to pass. Especially, when the Devs have stated that they will not share this kind of information. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayHog.3280 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 League tends to give a vague warning that someone got punished, without specifying who or what for. Gives people a feeling of grandeur, but doesn't let them name and shame whoever got punished. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSlay.6973 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) In game mail saying "thank you for your report, it has been investigated and appropriate action taken" would be good. Otherwise it's screaming into the darkness. Why bother reporting if you never find out if your report made a difference?

Killthehealersffs.8940 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 For in-game , recording a small video with OBS , is guaranteed to take actions. In the forums , the mods have to beware of fake reports for "bad name calling the devs" , when 2 people are having a heated debates 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an automated in-game mail was generated for every in-game report, would it really make a difference? Because there is no way GMs would take the time to send a mail for every report; if they did, investigations would take weeks or months longer. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysico.4906 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) Horrible idea. They don’t need or should tell you what they do with another player. Really bad idea op Edited July 25, 2022 by Lysico.4906 Spelling 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the GM closes the report on whatever software they are using, have it send an automated email to the player that submitted the report. If this is an in house tool, this should be effortless to implement. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertthebard.8150 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Actually, this is a brilliant idea if, and only if, it posts on the forums when that action is taken, and if, and only if a report turns out to be false, that it reports the same thing, in the same way. It should also automatically suspend the account, in either case, for x amount of days, both in game, and on the forums, and it should include action against accounts that post that "X was unfairly banned for reporting a bot". This to prevent sock puppet accounts from trying to generate sympathy for how "unfair" it was that they filed a false report and got banned for it. /s Nope. Any actions taken against another account are none of my business. They are also none of anyone else's business, except for the owner of the account. Reading through this thread, it seems like some people feel like they need a pat on the back for "doing the right thing". They don't. 2 5 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkTacoLover.7603 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 btw if you are talking about afk farmers, some weeks ago there was one that was raging about the 3 day ban on his *few* accounts all accs with hot+pof 300+ lvl over 9000 achiev. points 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent.6137 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Personally, I think anyone that gets their account suspended, should have their main character placed in a pillory in the middle of Lion's Arch for the duration. Hovering your mouse over the character will show their crimes against the populations of Tyria. Rotten tomatoes will be available for sale from NPCs for the price of mystic coins. Permanent bans, their main characters will just be skeletons lining the Avenue of the Miscreants. A place where you can take your children to see the awesomeness of the Mighty Ban-hammer. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be aware that Devs have stated they often ban in waves, and it could be months (or more?) until the next ban-wave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freya.9075 Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 I don’t see the point of knowing wether or not any action was made. Either they did or they did not break tos. They checked your report and that’s good enough. If they stopped harassing you, then what’s the issue 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
