With the new changes to the report system showing you when a person you reported is punished, why not have it so you are notified when someone reports you?
This would allow the community the choice of if they want to engage with that type of person.I am all about giving players choices so why not allow us to decide on who we want to allow in our communities?
If we wish to have punishments for behavior why not let it cut both ways?
Wait. We really get to see when other people reported in game are punished?
This is a joke, right?
Why would they want you to be able to harass the person who reported you?
Because that would just open the door to immediate toxic backlash. It accomplishes nothing good.
If it’s anything like Overwatch, it’s just a generic “an account you reported has been actioned. Thanks.” and it generally comes like weeks after the report and doesn’t specify a name, date of report, or anything like that. You won’t know who it is unless you very rarely report people and OTHER players don’t get the notification, only people whose reports lead to action.
It’s basically a “hey! see! the report system works!” thing. Which isn’t a bad idea, because so many people assume reporting does nothing and therefore don’t report.
Not harass I wouldnt condone that. Simply blacklist them should the community as a whole find their behaviour distasteful.
I think you’ll find that people don’t have an issue with other people reporting problem players. It’s only a problem if they’re all false reports trying to get someone actioned when they did nothing wrong.
Then what is the harm in what I am proposing?
Wait…you want to blacklist a person who reported you for being a jerk? Is it opposite day?
I would like the option to yes. How can you build communities if you can not trust one another?
lol
What you would or would not condone is irrelevant.
What “behavior” do you think “the community” would find distasteful? Reporting people that are doing something severe enough that Blizzard thinks they are deserving of punishment? Sounds like you’ve got the whole “blacklisting” thing backwards.
If you got reported and you were indeed actioned then the reporter did the right thing. What ever the banned person did was distasteful. This is why people who get felonies have it on a record for the entire world to see, why they have to declare it on job application and housing applications. If anything the banned people should have to wear the marks.
I think that actions that police the community shoukd be approved of by the community.
What harm is done in allowing that?
This thread is confusing.
OP wants the name of the character that reported them. For?? A “discussion” ?? Yeah I don’t think a calm discussion will be the typical outcome from a “hey, just so you know So&So on server WhoCares reported you” email from blizzard.
That’s gonna lead to some major in game trolling and harassment! Not to mention the reported person can share the name from the email making for 100% harassment uptime
Is that what I’m reading??
That kinda oversight is not the responsibility of the community.
Simple answer. Witch Hunts.
“He reported me! So I’ll make sure to find a way to punish him in game! I’ll purposely damage threads he creates!”
Yeah. It’d create witch hunts.
I mean, even a teenager can understand that!
it’s so you cant retaliate id be for it to spite this but that is not going to happen
More or less. I wouldnt condone harassing but I would blacklisted appropriate. You claim to want a better community while deny the community tools to police itself.
It would be fine, if it were parallel.
Reporter sees “A player you reported has been sanctioned, thanks”.
Reportee sees “Your behavior was reported, and you are being sanctioned”.
No - they aren’t going to say who.
On these forums, I like seeing who <3 s my posts. I don’t want to know who flags them.
There is also an old saying among the criminal community.
“snitches get stitches”
Now imagine that mindset but attach a completely anonymous nature to it like exists online.
Yes, things would indeed go horribly wrong. And they’d go horribly wrong extremely fast.
You don’t need to know who. You need to know when behavior is inappropriate. You don’t need to know who, because if you are sanctioned, such behavior is always inappropriate, regardless. Some people might not care enough to report, but it’s still not conduct Blizzard wants in game. A blacklist wouldn’t change that.
