Ignore <Player>

There's a way to block people from chatting with you, but there needs to be a way to set other players on "ignore" so you don't have to see anything they post.  There was one player who was just ringing off cuss words and insults, just because.  I don't care if people use language, but I do care that I can't set them on ignore when it becomes a cuss-fest.  And I'm not talking about a random f-bomb dropped here or there or used in context...they were just listing whatever cuss words and insults came to mind...many of them quite colorful.  It really detracted from global chat and even caused some people to vocally leave.

  • VorpalCheese,  you need to use the Report Abuse link when that happens.

    TS staff don't allow that kind of behavior if they know about it.  But someone needs to let them know.  the next time that happens, click on the player's name in chat and report the problem. 

    It doesn't do anyone else any good if you just ignore them.

  • I stay away from global chat for that very reason. The one time I was in global chat several people were just listing every word they knew for male and female genitalia (ironically the word genitalia wasn't used lol). Since then I have had little to no reason to go back to global chat. If you want to say things like that, do it privately with other like minded people, make a party chat, but don't spam the global chat.

     On a similar note, maybe staff should periodically pop into global chat and warn/ban people for things like this.

  • TRB4, every time I've seen something like that in Global, and reported it in Live Help, the player has been almost instantly removed from chat.

    I have no way of knowing if they were just banned from the channel, or removed from the game, or what actually happened to them, but I do know that Global got straightened out within minutes.

  • I thought there was an announcement that Global Chat was on the way out and was going to be replaced by some sort of Region Chat or Random Chat.

    Here is the post: 

    Your Opinion: Replace Global Chat with "Region Chat" or "Random Chat"?

  • To be honest I have left Global chat for that very reason that was stated by TRB4 and have never returned. Seems there are some that think putting stuff out there like that is cute or they are looking for attention. Sad really because Global chat was good to find if someone was doing a function or doing a quest like the peat quest. Sickens me really. I would rather have fun playing the game than standing there putting in report after report... because that would be what you do on some days if you watch Global.
