Changes to reports

Reports no longer display to the player.

From a new user perspective, it's not helpful to be voted for "Working against" when you just plain suck at the game. Also please stop doing this..

Originally this was intended to be informative to the player about bad behavior, but has ultimately been a negative experience triggering revenge reporting and many players to seek out removing false reports.

Also the report dialog has a confirm button now.

We'll see how this works out and make changes if we need to.

He hears all.

Thank you so much for this. You have reduced a LOT of bans from people false/revenge voting from this simple change. Ignorance is bliss.

Is there any change to reporting players after they have left a game? I often see players who are clearly working against, or are harassing in chat the whole game but I don’t have the time (or can’t move fast enough) to report them in game, then they leave right after it ends and get away without a report.

This. Too often someone will say something that deserves a report but then leave instantly after to dodge it

Is there a way for a player to know if they are close to getting banned?

We talked about this quickly in mod chat, a compromise I came up with was something like “when you get your 6th report you get a message after the game telling you that you’re on 6”

Most people don’t ever come close to 6 so for the most part it won’t change anything, but for those that do get high enough they will get a warning before being suddenly blapped.

A downside to this is that someone could easily be trolling and just WAOT or something until they receive this message, then stop for the day and pick back up tomorrow.

I think ylambda said we could reevaluate after a few weeks to see how these changes go. The more I think about it, the more I like the way it currently is. It’s so incredibly hard to rack up 8 reports unless you’re actually doing something wrong, as long as you’re playing the game and trying to win, you won’t have a problem.

What's the "time to live" for reports? You mention that they will pack up for the day and try again tomorrow, couldn't the reports just stick around for a longer period?

24 hours, iirc

How about this: Chat based reports should show (offensive chat) but waots should not.

Usually it's about 3-4 jukes on a mod. If you point out a particular nub-step you may be sacrificing one of your allowed jukes.

Nice, thanks ylambda!

Can we press Escape to get out of the report screen again? Idk how long ago that stopped working, but it's been a while

This was needed, but it will really ruin the dynamic that Team and I have when we see each other in pubs

This is good. Hopefully it will bring a positive change to the community.

Unrelated but where are we at with the new test servers? We've had them for a couple months now and many of us are hoping we can take the next step in chopping the lower volume servers and upgrading the remainder.

Thank you, LS & yλ.

I’m also curious about this. I’d love to just see which servers are actually getting the most traffic with SWJ. For me it’s definitely Chicago, New York, Dallas, Toronto, but Dallas is hot trash and New York can be too. If we could chop Atlanta, Miami, etc and upgrade Dallas, New York I feel like that would be huge

Atlanta and Miami are my best servers :(

We should have the option to turn it back on

Why though?

k90sdrkIfYouSeekAmy•

so people can keep track of how many reports they have? I just use ballparts' old script for that, idk if that'll continue to work with this change but if it does I don't really see a need to let people turn them back on

waterwheelwaterwheel•

Yeah just morbid curiosity. I don't get voted very often but I've definitely detoxed before after a few.

Oh good, now I don't have to apologize to people when I accidentally report the wrong ball

WAY OVERDUE. When I was modding I have seen a handful of truly working against. Yet thousands of reports for bad decisions. (half of those were probably my bad decisions)

2
333namename333•

Is a "bad decision" refusing to spike in nf when you're 100degrees, or is that waot? Everyone has different opinions

1
cmz1973cz•

I would never consider that true WAOT. To me that would be like a quarterback taking the wide open dude 10 - 20 yards away with 40 more yards to go. Or going for the hail mary. I cannot imagine anybody arguing either is working against.

1
cmz1973cz•

got it. I mean I had my wife play when I visited kermit. She had never once played a game that required arrow keys (master race btw) She was insanely horrible. She was not intentionally fucking with her team. She was simply terrible. She had to look down at the buttons to change direction. I don't think that is working against. Sad,Bad all kinds of other shit but not intentionally working against.

2
cmz1973cz•

to add to this I got a few kids to try this game. We are are talking 8-11 year olds. They were not familiar with arrow key games(again master race) They were voted immediately. WAOT is for blocking your teammate from capping. OBV boosting into a returning cap. Shitty play simply should not be reportable unless it is obviously malicious.

There are no cut and dry rules on this. Just my 1 cent.

333namename333•

If they sit in the endzone, trapped 3v1 because they just got a return, and dont spike because they "dont want to play that way", is that not waot?

cmz1973cz•

I don't fucking know I'm busy trying to figure out which of these 30 tabs I have open is pissing me off with sound.

hmmmm, as a frequently reported player, and a player who frequently reports lol, i think this will be good for the most part. but us players also wont know when we actually do get false reported. Mods will have to be v v observant with this new change. and everytime there is a report it might be good to just pop into the game and just check to see if there is evidence that the player actually might have been waot or if they still r being offensive in chat. Overall i think this is a fine change tho, thank you!

False reports are a lot more common than you think.

3
333namename333•

False reports is also a matter of perspective. Someone could fight for re for two full games until a mod comes, then not do it because he's on a different team

This is great & I think will help reduce toxicity. Could we also have individual mute buttons for players whose chat we'd rather not see?

This game went downhill so fast. Like I joined the game a month ago and that's all it took for the game to become shit.

I guess I'm an inherently toxic player because I have gotten banned multiple times now without playing badly or even typing. Very little is done to verify reports, leaving the mods to suggest that you record every game you play and track the reports you get to prove their falseness. ??????

​

I would like to see these problem addressed:

False voters that leave the game immediately or within the last two seconds the end of game screen to avoid retaliation.

​

False voting should be a bannable offense if done repeatedly (idk i it already is).
