Post subject: New feature. Cheat report Reply with quote

Cheat report after the game should be very simple for reporting/analyzing).
After the game you will see the button "cheat report" Players should select players who will be reported.
After that cheat category should be selected (unfair trade, abusing, what other themes do we include?).
If the player selects unfair trade he/she can select the deals from the list.
In this system we can avoid word description.
What do you think about it?

On site everybody could see the list of reports (like now) with screenshots before the trade (if unfair trade was selected).

It sounds like a pretty good idea on the outset. But then you also must consider the amount of reports coming in will triple. How would CYN handle all that on her own? No one else is moderating. And you know there will be a lot of bogus reports to stem from this system. Players will abuse it. If not for this one concern, I think this sounds great. Most players don't report stuff here on the forum--so to make it easier for them to do so in game would be convenient. I don't think most really want to bother coming on the forum--some forget their login or don't want to take the time to sign up. And then many don't understand English.

I will not be the only mod on the new version. We are currently recruiting and have a couple interested already.

Trade, Auction, Abuse - perhaps?

Don't want too many options such as team play or your just put idea's in peoples heads lol Smile

Sounds good that a copy of the trade will be sent to the site so all members can view details.

Please please remove completely the auction of your own property option. This is never used for any benifit and almost always due to spitful players. In the end the person winning almost always just increased his chances of winning.

Please remove the Auction tab.

We have to make automatic bad words detecting system.
Players who have used the word from the list (we have to create it and include the most common ways of escaping this restriction, such us using zero instead of o etc.) will be muted (in the game/lobby for 5 days automatically, each subsequent case will add 1 day to this period. The word will be replaced by *****. Hope that it can hugely decrease abusing in the game.

Does that mean that players which use the f word once can't chat for 5 days?

What about common abbreviations of swearing?

I don't know engl well, so we have to have the list of such words, abbrevitations etc. All what mods wish to include.
And you have understood me correctly - player will not have ability to chat anything. After second detection for 6 days and do on.
SYN, Trace what do you think about that?

There are positives and negatives to this.

What we used to do, when I was a moderator - was for single swearing not directed at anyone was ignored. It was only punished if it was something they did a lot. So for single use of a swear word out of frustration but not aimed at any person was ignored.
Obviously with a lot of players there will be issues of how to control bad language, without ending up with frustrated players who said a bad word once losing ability to chat. What about when swearing takes place in a private pm chat?

Can I ask if you intend for any age limit to the game? As in players must be x age in order to play.

I do agree with foul language on list appearing as xxxx however trace is right in that some unfortunately get irritated and may use a word or two in frustration and to make them unable to chat for 5 days because of this would put a lot at a disadvantage. Maybe one day would be better for automatic muting, then if repeated add a day each time...thoughts?

Falon's post regarding the auction of property may be a good idea to look into. Auctioning of ones own properties is usually an irritating move by a player that is losing and I do not see any real benefit to it except maybe saving you a round or two.

Wow, this may generate some volume for the mod team to say the least.

There will be a lot of people who just use the report function because "it's there" - how simple would it be to restrict this option until you have say 25 game experience, this could reduce the amount of complaints by people who don't fully understand the game.

Alex is coming up with a way to discourage false/repeated reporting that has no warrant, so hopefully that will detour the numbers some.

In game we will have coins to pay for subscription, 1 coin=1 cent.

May be to prevent false reporting we could charge for each report 10 coins, if the report will be correct this charge will be returned (and giulty player will be charged by that 10 coins).

Sounds to me like a great idea NewMagnate. However if you are going to get your report fee back if your report is deemed correct then make the figure worthwhile for example 100 or 200 coins. I doubt 10 coins will discourage the reporting of false or petty complaints.
How about a 3 strike policy for offenders till a playing ban and coin fine is imposed? On the other side if people learn to behave after loosing a strike or two they are returned back to 3 again after a period of good behavior.
Offer a coin reward for players that have no strikes against them each week or month. This will encourage FairPlay and cut down on the administrative side of monitoring.
Regards
F

Once again
Please remove the self auction option. Everyday this option is being used by loosing players to spoil the game.
