A CEO Call to Arms: Dealing with the trolls!

Really, the Guild Chat needs to be fixed so that it is an actual chat feature and not just a way to broadcast a message to one's guild. A link in the menu over a player's name (in the chat) to simply click for ignore would also be great instead of having to do the / command. There are links there for whisper, etc. a one click ignore would be fantastic.

Trolls? I just let them scroll on by, or use ignore. No big deal Centz, you were tired and sleep deprived last night and they succeeded to irritate your last nerve -- such is their way.

Agree with everything Shuttle said. FIX guild chat PLEASE!
As far as idle chit chat, if every player only talked about the game in chat, would be really boring and very little chat going on at all. This is a social game, chat is a part of being social.

A full time UBI mod is really whats needed.

So, where exactly do you propose the "idle chit chat" go? I mean, there's a chat channel, it going to be used, or are you saying no one should ever talk in game? What exactly is your problem with people chatting with each other? Keep in mind, by the way, that pretty much every in game question is answered almost immediately if anyone knows the answer. If that were not the case, I could agree with you, but since it's not...

Yeah yeah, I was pretty out of it last night, I agree. But I mean come on peoples, don't even try and tell me you can't spot a troll when it pops up. We all know what I meant by it, and if you need any recollection, just think of what Maher resorted to before he was banned from the forums. I would personally like to see those people shunned to the point where they can't really function in game. That's all I was hoping to see.

Secondly, your supposed "freedom fighter" makes crappy Chuck Norris jokes?

Thirdly, it's up to each person to follow this or not. We'll see if there's more folks on my side or yours.

I think it's funny how people ask for the opinions of others and if said person does not like said opinion they get mad/upset. Don't ask the question if you might not like the answer.

Secondly, I never said I speak for everyone, "So say we all" is a line from Battlestar Galactica and all it means is, for all that agree. You started on a very bad subject that will always create problems. I don't understand why someone taking about Chuck Norris is the T word. Are you threatend by The Man Chuck? He is hot, sexy and tough after all and I can see where some men might be threatend by him.

Thirdly, why does eveything have to be about sides with you? Everything does not have to be about who is more loved in this world. I am sure the world will continue to spin and life will go on even if by chance someone in this world does not agree with everything you have to say.

Considering I never really watch BSG, I wouldn't get that quote, and frankly using it does make it look like you're trying to talk for everyone. As for your supposed "bad subject", I made a thread proposing how to deal with something. And, as to your third... if you can call it point, talking about Chuck is not the same as spewing the same retread jokes. And seriously, are you actually trying insinuate something about my sexuality? Is that really a direction you want to take this?

Because two differing point were brought in this, obviously there will be sides, just as there was in the closed beta thread (which, may I remind you, you flipfloped on). I'm not entirely certain how you possibly think that I'm trying to get everyone in the world to agree with me. As I said, I merely brought up something, and was hoping to get a discussion about it.


Oh, by the way, I do find it absolutely hilarious that you throw around the phrase "cyber bully" at people, but get completely offended when someone says "troll".

frankly, i have been both a troll and people have tried to troll me. the trick to dealing with trolls (get a pen and paper this is important) is to not let them get under your skin... the whole ideology of a troll is to cause discomfort and "pain" to the target person(s) to do that you have to push buttons and get under their skin to the point they get mad or weepy.

if you do not let a troll do such things. their trolls come off as a kindergardener's "my dad can beat up your dad" threats... or your momma jokes.. weak and pathetic.. and as for moderating the chat.. meh thats questionable.. there is the ignore function if someone bothers you enough. im not sure if ubi really has to regulate a person(s) to monitor the chat (least of all right now in beta once launched maybe time will tell how the influx of players will behave)

but i dont see why the community has to worry about "trolls" unless im lead to believe the majority of CEO players get easily offended??

in which case.. chuck norris doesnt sleep... he waits.... (sorry i couldnt resist T_T)

Maybe you should look up the two terms, they are nothing alike and have two completly different meanings. They even have on-line dictionaries that you can use to make it a bit easier.

It's always a complete pleasure working with your hypocrisy, Bloodmoon :)

Everyone takes trolls way to serious and this is the attention they love. I also agree and don't like the term troll, a troll is only a troll when someone thinks they are, if I post or chat something someone doesn't like I am a troll to them. These types of posts do nothing good except give the troll pleasure in getting everyone all worked up over nothing. Like I always say just put up a sign (DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS) and be done with it, if you feel some is a troll do not chat or post to them/IGNORE BUTTON problem solved.

Once again, another person who seems to have missed my point altogether.

What I hoping hoping to achieve is to not only just for everyone to /ignoreadd anyone like that, but to completely refuse to deal with them whatsoever in the game. That means no trading, no buffing, no nothing.
