Possible Solution For Griefers

So people can grief by mass reporting? Sorry it's just part of the game.

What you see in this video is not “part of the game”. This is harassment and inappropriate behavior. Swastikas shouldn’t be “part of the game”. The guy is Blackwater sneaking up behind the butcher waiting for people to go from gray back to active to shoot them in the head from behind isn’t part of the game. It’s harassment. And, if you’re harassing enough people that you get mass reported you’re an idiot Griefer and something should be done. Also, I’m acknowledging it should take multiple reports of this kind of behavior to avoid exactly what you’re trying to describe. People shouldn’t be able to use reporting as a “weapon”. But, if you’re harassing enough people they all report you then you’re the problem. Rockstar acknowledges griefing as a problem by including it as an option when you report someone now, they just don’t do anything about it. If it was “a part of the game” they wouldn’t have an option for reporting it.

Swastika aside getting shot is part of the game. And if you don't think someone can get as many people as it takes to mob a server and mass report anyone they feel like for any reason you're wrong.

Well the swastika was not “aside”. It was there. And this wasn’t just “getting shot”. This was harassment. Since you have a strong opinion about this it seems, how do you define “griefing” and how would you amend my suggestions? If the two instances I’ve described don’t qualify as griefing then help me understand what you think it is.

Also, again, I pointed out it should require multiple reportings in a given session, which would lead to them being booted, and then if they’re booted from multiple sessions because of other people in that session observing the same behavior then there should be some sort of punitive damages. Now, I’m fairly confident we won’t have a widespread issue of highly competent leaders running from server to server and session to session rallying multitudes of randoms they don’t know to pick on you and your buddies just to get you booted if you’re not bothering them. If the issue of “excessive leading” becomes as big a deal as the issue of griefing maybe you can come up with a solution for that. Or maybe just point them out to me and I’ll find them a job in the real world. That kind of leadership talent needs to be capitalized on.

You don't need to recruit randoms for this dude there are crews with loads of people in them. You don't need any leadership skills just ask the crew hey come in and report this guy with me it's that simple

So, my posse and I were ready to pull a bounty poster in Armadillo last night when this garbage started - swastika and all - ridiculous. This stuff has had me thinking. Griefers pretty much ruin this otherwise awesome game. But, I have some thoughts on how Rockstar could fix it. First, there needs to be some teeth behind “reporting” or “pressing charges”. Basically, if these idiots are in a session doing this crap and “x” number of people report it, they get booted. (Multiple reports prevents one petty complaint from getting you kicked). If they show up in their next session with the same behavior and get reported then something they won’t like should happen. (Once they’ve behaved the same way in multiple sessions, it’s safe to say they’re Griefers.) They go to prison for “x” amount of time, for example. Or maybe their “assets are frozen while they’re under investigation by the local authorities. Which would mean they couldn’t play for a day or two. Or, maybe the revenue agents raid their moonshine shack and arrest their band members/confiscate their still/etc. (they have to pay the $850 or whatever to get a new band/buy a new still). Bottom line, yes this game is the Wild West, but people didn’t act like this right outside a sheriff’s office without some consequences eventually. And, there needs to be a way to get a grip on it. If there’s a punishment that’s truly punitive other than a .50 cent bounty then it’ll slow this garbage down at least a little bit.
