Verified Reporter

Staff do not have the ability of turning off reports that I am aware of. this does seem like a good idea but staff are meant to check reports whenever they can, if not they must be busy with something else that may be important.

 

Actually, you can turn them off, but I don't recommend it.

 

huh. An admin told me that we cant ;o My bad.

 

JMods can't really deal with reports anyways. Unless of course it's a serious issue and no Mod+ is online, we would try to deal with the issue.

 

When is there ever a mod+ online during this time, in game ofc

 

What about:
Staff rates all reports:
- valid
- weak offense/proof/Neutral.
- Troll/Pointless.

Staff would then see these stats in chat when they get a report. A player with huge amounts off Troll/pointless ratings could be muted for some amount of time after doing a troll report.

 

hey, I like it but this wouldn't really fix it. Staff would just ignore regular ones, making it hard to get the rank.

 

Yes, I really do 100% agree. I think the reason why Mods+ don't react to a report as fast, is because of the amount of false reports there are. If you're like Trogs who likes the community, but don't really care if you get benefits of anything, than this would benefit the server. Also looks great on the JMod application.

 

Jmod reports got ignored to.

 

why? that's obnoxious

 

This is a good idea in theory, but honestly no one will be willing to take the time to rate reports.

 

Oki

 

There have been lots of cases where I /report people who are clearly hacking - something like aura, or speed that is very obvious, and after 10 minutes, they still aren't banned. I do /friends and see about 4 MODs online, and a few JMODs, sometimes even an SMOD - So again, I /report, and again, nothing happens. So they either can't be bothered, or every MOD thinks another MOD will do it, resulting it no one answering it, and I end up having to PM a MOD especially to come and ban the hacker, meaning /report is useless.

I think a good way would be if the person who did /report got a message in their chat when a MOD 'answers' the report.

I do like the verified reporter idea. People who know what hacks look like and whats just skill. People like @Lekosa1, @Eil (And other people who have been report champions)

 

If you want my honest opinion, I feel that a lot of staff members will become so inactive that they will either resign or be demoted. In turn, jmods will take their place, and I've noticed most jmods really truly care about the server and reports in general. The staff team is in a transition period. Back when I first got staff there were many other new staff members as well. Most have resigned or been demoted by now, leaving only a few left. Through my time here this has been the pattern I have noticed. Do I feel there's any reason to be alarmed? No; Brawl is still very low on hackers compared to other big servers. However, do I believe it will be a difficult transition? Yes. As we move over, I expect a lot of newer staff members to expect more and more perks sooner and I'm not so sure that is a good idea, but that's for another thread.

As for your idea, if you're consistently reporting people accurately, are active in all areas of brawl, and are a nice, respectful person, I don't see why this couldn't work. However, if you were all of those things, then I need to question why you didn't just go for staff member yourself. Clearly if you are passing marks in all areas stated above you meet the general requirements for being staff. So while I don't see it hurting to add this, it seems a little unnecessary.

 

all staff are gonna come and say that this is what our job is for, like ffs you guys dont do ****! YOU GUYS STINK +1

 

Is this really needed?... *sigh*

 

General idea +1. When flame wars break out, generally more than three players are involved, and it can be a bit frustrating waiting for /chatreport to cooldown.

 

I understand, but one report isn't going to convince a Mod to come investigate. It normally takes multiple reports from different players to really catch a Mod's attention.
Most of the time, when it's just one report, it's just some guy angry from getting killed.
We're especially not going to respond to a report that looks like this, "HAAAAAXXX!!!! BAN THIS MOTHERF***ER!!!"
