Gilbara Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Just like the title reads, general chat on my server has become an obscene cesspool of filthy banter between numerous idiots. I'm tired of having to ignore all these scumbag punks. They have taken over the chat channel. I see no report function for harassment, or obscenities. Just one for spam. We seriously need a few black bisector's moderating chat! As of yet I have not seen any moderators in chat channels. Do they not exist for this MMO? If not, please hire some before my yellow conclave goes green perpendicular. Edited December 31, 2011 by Gilbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnytc Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 You can just turn off general chat.. just because you dont like what people are talking about, doesnt mean they need to be banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbara Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) You can just turn off general chat.. just because you dont like what people are talking about, doesnt mean they need to be banned dude thats not an option. i need to watch it for LFG ads and trades since many post their trades to general.

Unfortunately that's not true...I was on Balmora last night on republic side and general was full retard. Which is unusual because before then it was virtually dead on all planets.

ElementalCrisis Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Right-click on their name in chat, you can report spam that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbara Posted December 31, 2011 Author Share Posted December 31, 2011 Right-click on their name in chat, you can report spam that way. but it's not really spam per se, it's obscenities. I have no idea if obscene language is against the CoC in this game. I don't want to report for spam if that's not correct, wasting bioware's time, and also maybe getting into trouble myself.

Aiyana Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yeah until people learn (if ever) to send their LFG or Trades to the right channels its gonna be a issue. One of the reasons I restarted on a newer light server was the hope that most of the ******* where on the older heavy ones. Outside some annoying guy jokes I have been happy with my restart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sohtaraz Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I agree. On my servers I keep hearing words like "swtor" in general chat and Im very offended. I wish this filth to be kept out. No but really are you suprised that people are using general chat for things like this? First mmo I hope becouse first thing I have done in any mmo is to remove general chat and just roll with the punches. The only time you need it is when your lfg'ing but oh wait, you cant remove channels from swtors chat system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imtrick Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 You can just turn off general chat.. just because you dont like what people are talking about, doesnt mean they need to be banned He didn't say they should be banned, unless they've devolved into stuff that's bannable, in which case, well, yeah they should. A few people don't have the right to push everyone else out of General. "Just turn it off" is not a viable solution; it puts the burden on the innocent, while letting jerkwads hijack the channel. I'd recommend filing a ticket (bound to "\" by default). There's an option there for reporting "Inappropriate Player Behavior." It's a bit more time-consuming than spam reports, but seems to be the provided way for reporting this kind of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascendic Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 There is this thing called a chat filter? There is this thing called a block? There is also this thing called a......... QQ? The tools are there to ease your pain use them and stop complaining and trying to kick over other peoples sand castles. Maybe I enjoying reading ridiculous banter.

And you're taking the high ground by saying he should... what? Leave your channel? Neither of you has the right to ruin the game for other people, and that includes the chat channels that are there for everyone to use. That's why there are terms of use, and why we have a way to report violations. Edited December 31, 2011 by imtrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiyana Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Lol I can put up with some off color jokes I was in the army after all , but the girlfriend beating and sandwich making jokes cause me to turn off general for a bit >.< . Still the server I am on is pretty tame tho that could be due to the light loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are people that get offended the minute somebody dares to use a swear word, while others can talk about your mother while they cuss like a sailor and not bat an eye. Everybody's personal tolerance level is different. As long as nobody violates the ToS, the people that are getting their underwear in a knot over their fragile sensibilities can suck it the hell up. There is a chat toggle and an ignore list for a reason. Edited December 31, 2011 by Greyfeld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If somebody does say/do something against the ToS, then report it. It's really that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedoba Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Only Sith would attack / behave that way anywhere, especially in the General chat. If you are Sith, change sides. If you are Jedi... use the force. Join a big guild founded by someone who wants a guild that is to your liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
