During a Global Chat this afternoon, a player said something that wasn't quite... appropriate (actually, quite offensive, to tell the truth). Granted, they apologized and said that wasn't what they were trying to say, and did not have English as a first language.
I think, in light of this comment but not because of it, there should be an additional action that comes up when clicking a user's name. There should be a Report Player Comment option. This could copy part of the transcript, or bookmark where it occurred (in case the servers are keeping transcripts of chats) in order for someone to review the comment.
Now I know that users may abuse this to report everything that some other player they don't like is saying. In light of *that*, there should also be a warning system - if you mis-report individuals, then *you* will suffer consequences. Kind of like the old "warn" button in AOL days and in other online communities from the Dark Ages of the Interwebs.
What say the community? If you know you have to use it with care, would you use it with care or not use it at all? Would it be useful at all?
