    i completely and totally agree with this. The amount of people trolling the game is unbelievable. And it isn't just in the zone chat it is also with the party poppers and other stuff. The in game moderators need to start clamping down on it and it is more then obvious that they are either not doing their job properly or not at all.

    Earlier on today i was on ESD and in zone chat a player was glorifying **** and saying that people should be grateful that they had been chosen. This was completely disgusting and was subsequently reported. But yet the moderators did not step in or anything. Same with the feminist, racist, discriminative, homophobic comments that plague zone chat.

    And when it comes to the part poppers its beyond a joke. i have managed to narrow it down to the same 6 people and they stand in ESD in different instances and set them off one of the other. They have also found a bug which allows them to setthem off one after the other without any cool down. so in 5 mins about 4/5 of them will go off constantly. And since the new ESD has come out it has gotten even worse with the ESD been flooded with them in near enough ever corner. thankfully this has only happened 3 times but it is going to get worse the more the trolls come back.

    And if the they do start banning trolls we will see the end of TWO fleets, SP and SFD (im sure you can figure the initials out) and their very close relationship with the DEVS.

    Men I wonder what you smoke or what game you play, I never in 4 years of STO have encountered any of this, a few strange mails telling me to buy EC at a low cost but thats about it, I just block and report the spammer to PWE and never hear from it again.
    Ah the balloon shooters and disco balls, well yeah you get the tools so why not using it while you wait on a timer, friend or something else.
    I don't understand why you guys hate it so much, you have to see the fun of it, last time I met someone with a ICE gun he was shooting at me so I could skate instead of walk. I don't see the trouble in a bit fun, but most of you are over reacting so yeah I see they pick you as a target especially when they are bored you're the one to look for because you react most funny to it.

    Thats all, Just look at yourself first start asking yourself what did I before I blame someone else...

    Dude, my ignore list is 15 pages long.

    The mere fact that I've ignored THAT many people for:

    --Racism, sexism, homophobia, and conspiracy nuttery

    --Straight-up jerkdom

    --Hateful abusiveness above and beyond garden-variety RSH-ness

    --Openly bragging about deleting bugships and posting the video on YouTube

    is a really, really bad thing. I shouldn't HAVE to use the ignore button this much.

    Also, Gorn jokes suck, are unfunny, and are getting REALLY old. Sorry to burst your bubble.

    add me to it as well then if you are that close minded on a community, or better find a ground bunker and hide there until we say it's safe to get out...

    I dont have anyone on ignore nor want people to get banned just because some of you anti social kids can't ignore people.Also please show me where it says in game you are not allowed to say gorn jokes.You little kids should go outside more .

    Kid, let me give you some advice from someone whose been playing MMORPG's since ultima Online..... IGNORE BUTTON. And if you cannot learn to use that, please go away and stop polluting the forums.
    I dont think thats possible.That would require the process of thinking...Im 100% sure they cant do that.

    These are perfect examples of people that are part of the problem. Directly attacking on the OP, calling him/her a kid because of his/hers opinion and saying anyone who disagrees with them is unable to think.
    You two must be really proud of yourselves! *golf clap*

    So, because there's an ignore function in the game, GMs should not react and just let every as****e be able continue to sprout racial slurs, bigotry, homophobia, troll the zone, offend religions and all the other TRIBBLE I had the misfortune to encounter in some of the social zones, amirite?
    Makes me wonder what kind of people and for what reasons would stand behind this...

    I have a zero-tolerance policy on jerks.

    I don't mind the stuff that other people get worked up over; sometimes, it really is nice to have someone pull out a dance globe, especially after a really good hard-won Borg ground mission, and I kind of like kicking up the party balloons, and I honestly don't mind skating around.

    But racism, sexism, and homophobia? Not OK.

    so because people can't ignore others you have to pay someone to ignore it for you o.O
    I thought you better pay devs to give you game conent than pay people to use the ignore function for you.

    the OP could be either stupid, trolling or is a kid.Since I don't know if he is stupid or trolling I can assume the OP is a kid who can't deal with people outside his "safe circle" .I know you kids want to ban everyone who you dont like but bad luck kids ...now go back play call of duty.

    Agreed 1000% never encountered racism, sexism, and homophobia on the ingame chat, and if they do well I switched off zone and global chat only have my fleet chat on and if we behave like that we are banned and kicked from the fleet....

    Read what I typed. Oh, and last I looked hate speech was a TOS violation, too.
    I thought you better pay devs to give you game conent than pay people to use the ignore function for you.
    I do use the ignore function. I also use the report function, and I expect valid reports to be actually looked at and acted upon (or else, why is there a report button in the game in the first place?).

    The thing is, I despise bullies of all stripes. They are scum, and I make it a policy not to let them pass unpunished if I can manage it. "If there's something wrong, those who have the ability to take action have the responsibility to take action."

    You've clearly never hung around the old ESD in between Borg STFs, then.

    I've seen some really hateful stuff; one guy compared the President to a monkey, and while the President's policies on human rights and such are debatable, comparing him to a monkey is appallingly racist.

    I've seen homophobic drivel, people telling female players (who admitted to being female) that they were "fake geek girls" and that they should "go home and cook something", and a guy who admitted that he liked the TRIBBLE, not because of the whole genocide thing but because they had "such great uniforms".

    So yeah. Your fleet has a good policy, and switching off zone chat is a very good move in certain areas, but you are one lucky guy if you've never encountered RSH in-game.

    That the OP makes a statement from he don't like on the forums or ingame chat is his thought, he likes to get opinions on it if more people iritate the sort behavior. You don't call someone stupid, it's his opinion and he is entiteld to share it with others.

    Fact I read your post makes you not very bright as well because you only put on gasoline on a fire thats allready burning. in witch case you may burn your fingers and he may walk away unscaved, my sugestion rethink your tekst and don't put your thought here so litterly, because how I'm reading your comment now the dev will to and write you down for flaming.

    if you can't use ignore function you are not only stupid but you are also troll and trolling is against the forum rules.Also naming and shaming.

    But they still cost money, andif they had to hire in-game moderators that constantly track all chat channels, that would probably allow hiring an extra dev or artist (assuming the latter are much more costly than some moderator).

    There is a report function, and an ignore function. Just use them. No, people won't get instantly removed, because the GMs are responding to individual tickets and cannot monitor all chat channels. (You'are aware how many channels the game has? Every fleet got its own build-in channel, and then there are countless of extra chat channels. Cryptic is not the NSA.) But they do react to tickets. In case of moderation action, you will not recieve further information on what is happening. But if your concern was a TOS violation, something will happen.

    But the good thing about the report function is that the player in question is generally also auto-ignored. And ignoring a problematic player means he has less audience for his bull****.

    The worst thing you can do to a troll is ignoring him. He gets no satisfaction from your anger, nor support for his position. He just gets silence. If he had wanted that, he could have just not written anything.
