what if someone has a genuine reason like bad wifi or bad timing

[white hill]

Well if you do it over and over again to the point that I have your in game name memorized then I might kick you from my lobbies. Especially if you are trolling in the lobby.

I would say it will balance itself out. If you kick everyone then you have nobody to play with, if you don't kick the trolls you have nobody to play with. If you kick the right people then you will have a popular and honorable lobby. True for every game with a lobby system.

[livid adder]

well if they start prematurely, its the hosts fault for not making sure everyone is good

[white hill]

I get that. Then you will have to use your freedom to play in lobbies with like-minded people. I will give the time that I give and they will either accept that or go elsewhere. Should have checked the settings before you joined.

[livid adder]

ye true, or u can easily change game search to specific results

[white hill]

Right. Which I would not want to ever kick someone. I want them all to play. But I just know how people are and people will cancel your lobby then host their own real fast and steal all your people. Not saying I would report everyone who did it. But some people will do it so much you remember them and they always do it.

[livid adder]

ye

[white hill]

But currently it's not practical to remember them unless you right down all the names in the lobby before you launch. If it just showed their names like the rest then you could just look at it. And then you know if you keep seeing it then they may need to get the boot.

[glass kettle]

Wouldn't this just encourage "false report spam" or whatever you called it? 😄

[white hill]

Probably just as much as the rest of the reporting system.

[rotund sigil]

oh god no, there's no reason to be reporting people for not readying up. the readying up system exists for a reason.

also on mobile it's very easy to misclick and end up in a game that the host starts as soon as you enter and your only option is to back out (if you have the opportunity) or not ready up. this happens to me sometimes. hand slips / misclick and end up joining a game I didn't intend to. we should not be punishing people for this.

[white hill]

I just want to see their names. It's one thing to be the last person in the lobby. You are assuming everyone on risk is predatory reporting people on a large scale. A sentiment shared by many but I just want everyone to see the names. People will have to use good faith.

[signal glen]

Being able to see names (and records in casual) for not readying players so that you can remember them or even block them is a workable idea. But having a way to report not readying players is not a good addition to the game. So therefore neutral.

I believe the whole ready up and lobby system is gonna get revamped so this idea and my and others suggestions along similar lines are probably irrelevant (or will be “soon”).

[white hill]

The reporting part has little to do with the idea I proposed. Yall are more worried about predatory reporting than I am yet yall claim it doesn't occur. Obviously if you join a game 50 times and quit all 50 you might get reported. Obviously if people just want to play it wont matter to them the reason you ruined 50 of their matches, they will just kick you. As far as them reporting you, I imagine that is a conversation to have with yourself and the rest of the toxic 5 who always say people should be reported for the slightest perceived transgression.

[signal glen]

No one ALWAYS says anything. Rage bait elsewhere.

[rotund sigil]

👆 (cos I can't do a reaction xD)

[white hill]

I could probably find you comment 1000 times on a thread saying the exact same thing yet find you criticizing others who you feel says the same thing more than once.

[karmic kite]

This would just build false reports

[rotund sigil]

exactly

[white hill]

They don't have to have the ability to report. Just to see their names. It doesn't matter though, you just pick you poison. Do you want there to be large scale bot outs at the start of the match or do you want people to risk being banned for not hitting ready over and over? Either way there will be predatory behavior.

You can really report anyone for any reason already. So this won't really be adding anything. Well I guess it would since the only people who weren't getting reported before were the ones not hitting ready. So you are right in some sense.

But it doesn't really matter to me, I imagine now that so many have voted and spoken the whole community will know cancelling other peoples lobbies is an effective and unpunishable way to troll others. It is already widespread now, but now.... Everyone will know there is not and will not be consequences. It is like abusing the crash bugs to ruin or reset the matches or to end someones turn before they can finish you off.

[rotund sigil]

how does one abuse bugs? like they're bugs...

[white hill]

For example. If a person is losing then and they know if they perform this action while that action is occuring then it will cause the opponents turn to be auto-skipped so they can't kill you off. Maybe "exploit" is a better word.
