Is the World Chat Being Used or Abused?

Dear Perfect World Team and Fellow Players

I would first like to start off and say that as a player and fan of the Perfect World game,, it is a game that I thoroughly enjoy playing. The over all quality of the game is beautiful. The graphics are breath taking and the character customization is very detailed. Playing Perfect World is a great way for me to wind down at the end of the day and bring out my inner child.

I am posting this forum to address a growing concern in the Perfect World, world chat system. The Perfect World, world chat system is a wonderful tool, in that it allows players to effectively communicate with each other. The world chat system is especially helpful in the art of trading and buying within the game. It has also been helpful in bringing in a source of revenue for the Perfect World website by requiring the use of teleacoustics which must be purchased using real money.

However with all the good the world chat system does and the opportunity it creates, it also has a dark side. The Perfect World, world chat system is continuously abused by the constant posting of extremely obscene sexual, racial, and offensive content. This is a concern because not only is it adults and older teens who read this offensive material, but young children as well. These children are our younger brothers and sisters, sons and daughters, nieces and nephews as well as cousins. They are our next generation and our future and I believe they deserve a wholesome and quality form of entertainment.

The use of teleacoustics does offer a great way to restrict how many people can use the world chat system. However I propose that Perfect World practice the use of monitoring the world chat and punishing the ones who post offensive material. The punishment can be issued by a warning, muting and banning of a player. The degree of punishment should be measured by the serverity of the content posted. For example, the posting of sexually ghraphic material should be punished by a 7 day muting of a player's character or banning. The muting could be carried out by preventing the player to have the ability to use the teleacoustic item. Another example is a player who simply spams curse words could be muted for only a 3 day period, and players who post flames or starts fights in the world chat with other players may be muted or banned for all the players involved in the fighting.

Another solution, and this can be used if there is not enough GM's online to perform all the monitoring duties, and that is to hire players to become MOD's to monitor the world chat. The MOD's can have the ability to use the world chat without the use of teleacoustics and can issue out warnings and muting. Banning however can only be issued by a GM.

With these 2 possible solutions I believe we can take the responsibility to clean up the world chat system and improving upon an already amazing game. As part of the Perfect World Community I believe it is our responsibility to create a positive and wholesome entertainment for not just the younger generation but for all ages alike.

Please feel free to post your comments as well as other solutions.
