Don't forget about homophobic remarks too.If we don’t ctrl-f the stats page for racial slurs, racism will never be defeated.
Thank you, an actual intelligent contribution to the conversation instead of childishly reacting "dumb".
I understand the overloading and that it can bury more serious issues. However, from what I've found with my reports are that some people continue to break the rules (racism) even when continually banned. If someone isn't going to take the server rules seriously and continue to break them, then that needs to be handled.
This suggestion is to limit reports. It has no benefit other possibly burying older reports which will eventually be taken care of.
trivial shit nobody on the server had a problem with
it means it didn't affect anyoneif no one was in the forest when a tree fell it doesn't mean it didn't fall.
many stores in north america have a 'no chase policy'If someone stole from a store and none of the employees had a problem with it, it tells the thief that what they did will not be challenged.
I know, that isn't the point of the example. The point was that:it means it didn't affect anyone
many stores in north america have a 'no chase policy'
And as its an example, the analogy I was making was that people who aren't punished for breaking the rules may:it tells the thief that what they did will not be challenged. They may then steal again or do something worse.
With this trail of thought, it is reasonable that (as they have already told themselves that what they didn't won't be punished) that them might make an:get comfortable and will continue to do it with the fact they weren't punished prior as justification or "permission".
even edgier joke which disturbed some new players and they decided to not play on skial servers, and what if they tell their friends to avoid those servers because of the type of players on them?
Yes, going through the chat logs after the fact can be considered snitchy. But if a report is made when it happens then the person isn't actively searching for people to report.I really think even though N word is banned regardless of context, the report should be limited to people who have the context. Like, most of these people aren't even going to know they're banned because half the time they're gone from the server before the ban even gets enacted.
It just seems snitchy to sit here, searching chatlogs for anyone breaking a minor rule and then spam reporting once a day. To me, that seems like you take glee in getting people banned, and would weigh negatively impact my opinion of you if you were to apply for admin in the future.
I agree with the suggestion, but I more think spam reporting through the hlstats should simply be discouraged more than anything.
Are you in the server for each of the reports you've made? Do you know the context around it? You know, sometimes it's ok if someone breaks the rules if an admin isn't present and it doesn't like lead to any harm.Yes, going through the chat logs after the fact can be considered snitchy.

I make reports as they happen.Are you in the server for each of the reports you've made? Do you know the context around it? You know, sometimes it's ok if someone breaks the rules if an admin isn't present and it doesn't like lead to any harm.
Like, did you really get offended by the dude calling out the guy for using the n word?
I just think that the people in the server should be making the conscious effort to report people instead of people outside of it. Friendlying is banned, but I rarely inform an admin unless the friendlies are trying to ban people / being overly annoying. If they aren't disrupting the server, and especially if they are yelling at someone else to stop doing it, it might not really require admin intervention.
So you were in each server for each of the N words you reported, and weren't going through hlstats and searching said word to report people?I make reports as they happen.
Personally, I don't report friendlying unless they get extremely aggressive with people killing them. The difference between using the n word and friendlying is the later just affects a game while the former dehumanizes an entire race. Using the n word can, will, and has negatively affected people mentally and makes people feel unwanted. And when no one reports them, then it just confirms to the person who was hurt that this is allowable and normal.
Yes, I am offended by the use of the n word because it shows a glimpse of the person's actual personality.
There are 2 options:
1) We stop reporting when things happen.
Looks like we're already there.Personally, I don't report friendlying unless they get extremely aggressive with people killing them.
This isn't really related to the suggestion of limiting reports. But to humor you, no I am not going through the the stats site and "ctrl-f" or searching for racism:So you were in each server for each of the N words you reported, and weren't going through hlstats and searching said word to report people?
Just trying to get some clarity here.
Not sure what point you're making unless you're trying to change the meaning of those 2 unrelated statements.Looks like we're already there.
