Report button is a big fat joke?

@Flint
Sorry man, that sucks. Personally, i have never seen this kind of harassing, my chat is peaceful. But the best thing you can do is to keep reporting, and even blocking the abusive people.
And in extreme cases you can contact rovio directly.
But how do you know they’re not getting banned?

 

Thanks for your understanding!

I know some of them did not get a ban, because they show up everyday with the same account. And some of them even said they don't care they got reported, because they have been reported before and are still here. They laughed in our face. One of the worst bullies came back last week with his old accountant. He has picked up so many fights, insulted so many people, said such foul things and then I expect in such cases their account will be delete, but no. I don't say everyone should have the account closed, but there are a few, which definately should get a permanet ban.

Ms.Jazmella reported a guy who calls himself F..ker even said he has been reported, but he was laughing because he was still here after months. Another guy calls himself royal c..ksucker, has an infamy of at least a 1000 and has a mk4 boat, so he has been around for many months. And there are others also. Instead of people report these them, many said 'I like your name'. Sigh!

I know some people got banned, but also others who have not. And I don't say the report button is a joke, but some of these abuser act like it is. Maybe my reaction was a little too harsh, but the last couple of days the was a lot of verbal abuse again. And trust me I can take a joke, but if the chat is dominated by some pervs, then it gets very frustrating.

Am sorry I posted some of the things they said here, I did not want to, but I wanted to help to keep, the game clean and free of pervs and bullies. And maybe I report more than others, but I kmow first hand what harassment can do to others, I have seen many kids suffer of this.

 

I also have edited the first post a bit. Here in the Netherlands they say when youbget angry 'count to ten first, before you say or do something'.

I am sorry I did not, but all I wanted is to help keep the chat a place a fun for all of us. Maybe my methods should have been different?

 

Like your opinion, I am also curious how the reports have been treated. And I understand that devs have to probably review each one-by-one. There should be some way to reduce the amount of the report. For example, we can report floating. Why dont BB just automatically prohibit the floater to do next attack in, e.g., 10 mins? For the first step, we can classify people who do not move at all as floaters. I believe the number of report can be reduced and are reserved for something more important.

 

I think that is a good idea. Someday I come across floaters in 30% of the battles. I don't play many battle a day due to health issues, so maybe people who play 50 to a 100 battles have less. But it suprises me how many floaters I come across.

Now there is also floater which move 5 meters at the end of the battle. So, these then won't be picked up. I have seen it several times, as soon as you take him out as the last one standing in the came, then he or she fires back. Are these cheaters? A different topic I know.

Would this be a complete list for reporting someone:

- Obscene comments or name
- Bullying
- Sexual harassment (which happens, sadly enough. Boys bothering girls, but just a while a go a man was looking for young boys)
- Floating
- Cheating
- Spamming
- Other

Maybe we can help and take some of the work load upon as players? So, certain certified players can report people, so when they report people then these reports are highlighted? Then it is easier to sift through for the people at Rovio.

 

Regarding to the inappropriate chat, I reported and blocked. This save my mood a lot. When people becomes online, I believe they tend to loose a bit. Therefore, if I take it seriously, I will get crazy.

 

You are so right. I often block too, but I want also to know what they are doing in case it gets out of hand. Maybe it is just my age that I am watching over you youngster
