Hi,

I am sure I am not the only person tired of all the unimaginative and peurile trolls and whiners on the forums.

Since moderators either sometimes have a hard time determining genuine trolls and timewasters or simply do not want to hand out bans to paying customers (I appreciate this is understandable) I propose a simple fix to this solution:

Allow players to 'moderate' what they see on the forums. To this end there are a couple of features that would greatly benefit the community as a whole...

1. Add colour standings to characters and corporations. Similar in style to in game perhaps although acting independently from in game standings. This would let us see quickly if a thread comes from a dodgy source.

2. Ability to block certain individuals and corporations not only from showing up for you but also ideally to stop them from posting in threads of your creation.

Number 2 especially would go far to reduce the timewasters on these forums.

Regards.

First off this belongs in Features and Ideas, second off this is a very bad idea as an allaince like goonswarm can get everyone banned. Also people who give you one word answers are not trolls we're just tired of answering the damned questions over and over again.

As a long term admin of a forum, I have to say that even the thought of allowing the general public to moderate anything, makes me shiver. While there may be some that act responsibly with moderation, many wouldn't.

I do like your idea of colour tags, but tbh I don't see CCP implementing it. You could always post with an alt, which you could link to your main within it's sig. This way you could set your own colour tags, independent of your main and it would fit your requirements.

This doesn't help, if you are susceptible to regular forum bans though. P

Suggestion:

Anyone who uses "UMADBRO" or "you jelly?" more than once will be perma-banned.

Ni.

So what you're saying, is Drake Draconis would have been banned years ago?

Good old 0:7 is all about his memes.
