Ignore everyone in a fleet?

We have a way to ignore other ppl in game...
I'd like to see a way to ignore 'ALL' members of a fleet too.
Seen a few people from the same fleets griefing STF runs, purposely.
Blowing gens on purpose, popping cubes on purpose, blowing MRIs on purpose, so you can't get the BOFF accolade... It's just a waste of my time playing with these individuals.
Cryptic please make it so

It will only really help if you use STF channels to form your own group as you will not see those fleet members "x"ing up when you call LFM in channel, however if you use STF channels and are part of a group that someone else is forming and they don't have them on ignore, you could still be teamed with them.
I've been grouped with members of this fleet before and have never had issues with them myself.
And your examples are not exactly griefing, they are just bad puggers.

Ummm, for the most part yeah.
But at least one Dental has posted on their boards about griefing STFs.
Count yourself lucky, I've had nothing but trouble with them for some reason.
Maybe I just got stuck with the wrong ones over the last 2 1/2 years.
Certainly possible.
Useful for spam bots and all, but it just seems a very juvinile way of dealing with another person, imho. 'neener neener, I can't hear you *sticks tongue out'
HMM, well maybe an option that's totally seperate from ignore would be better then.
Something like "avoid player if possible".
you are of course assuming people coordinate to begin with.
On a related note, I suggest not calling out names in the forums, as that gets reported too, and is likely to get your post edited at the very least, and possibly your thread closed and your account actioned.
If people would simply open new channels for non-public communication, a lot of that chat-related drama could be avoided, IMO. Maybe there's something I'm missing there?
Ignoring an entire fleet is an interesting idea, but I can't see Cryptic going there. I don't agree with it, personally.
Yes, there might be one or two entire fleets devoted to making other players miserable. But should Cryptic devote an entire QoL feature to dealing with a handful of players? Is it really that hard to take 10 seconds and put somebody on ignore?
And if the door opens to official discrimination against entire fleets, where does it stop and how does that get abused? We already have problems with chat ban abuse; now think about that getting applied to an entire fleet.
Puts a smile on your face doesn't it? Until your own fleet's the one that gets hit with it.

All started from an Elite channel, all griefed by full maco/omega wearing boffins.
Seems to be a trend, those that have the full set don't want others to get the full set.
No. I'm sure there are 1000s of people playing Sar Trek Online at anyone time. Not seeing 5 or 50 of them really isn't going to effect me in the slightest. I also very rarely join PUG groups.
People not knowing what to do in an STF, or any other mission for that matter, doesn't bother me in the slightest. It's the blatant griefers I'm talking about.
Also, what if I don't speak English very well. If you gave me orders in English that I didn't understand, am I griefing you?
No my examples are of blatant griefing, by very experienced full Maco/Omega wearing players.
Are you seriously suggesting that 'ignoring' griefers/trouble makers is classed as juvenile? LOOOL
What would my ticket say???
'Dear Cryptic, these people wouldn't kill things in the correct order, or maybe,
'Dear Cryptic, they killed that before I had time to do XYZ', maybe,
'Dear Cryptic, this individual just didn't pull his weight in this mission'.
I think I'd rather do the juvenile thing and simply ignore them.
On your related note. I haven't named any individual or fleet, why would my thread be closed down and my account actioned?
I can't remember if you won't see them on a pvp match, but it's nice not to deal with griefers or idiots in your pve queue once you have them on ignore.
If STO doesn't have a system like RIFT's in place, they should really work on it.
Yes, I am.
If you've got an issue with someone, hammer it out with them and reach a (hopefully) amiable conclusion. Not stick your fingers in your ears and whistle a tune while they talk.
Ultimately, if someone wrecks your stf bad enough that you can't manage the above surely you don't need a system to remind you that you're not going to play with them any more.
TLDR; If you need a system to remind you, chances are what they did in the first place wasn't bad enough to warrant an ignore.
No, you haven't; but a number of people replying to you suggested that you do so, so I also gave you my suggestions on that subject.
in the last week,
ive had players join and drop out, leaving us short and surely to fail. you cant invite anyone into a started pug
ive had players just sit there and do nothing, you know they arent afk cause they need everything. sometimes they just fly in circles all over the map.. and laugh at us.
ive had players say in chat, NO when you ask them not to blow a cube in cse or a generator in ise early.
ive even had players purposely let all the probes through in kase to fail, laughing the whole time..
i know its a gamble when you pug, but it is supposed to be a team event.. you should be able to kick and reinvite.
or at least they should remove the timer if you fail during a pug..
This is fine for RL, but in an online game there are many people who don't want to hammer it out. They want to act like jerks for no other reason than to try and ruin someone else's experience. They feel safe behind their computer and have no intention of working things out as long as they're enjoying whatever great feeling they get from annoying people.
In those times, it's very nice to tune them out.

What planet are you from?
Some people can't be reasoned with no matter how much you butter them up. It's even worse with online games, where there's no real accountability.
Hell, some of them want you to acknowledge their behavior, it makes them feel powerful over you.
Ignoring a douche is the appropriate thing to do. There's no sense in wasting time on an TRIBBLE that is just looking to aggravate you.
It is, when it's a ridiculous and naive claim.
No one with any experience in dealing with online douches, can claim that reason works with griefers or trolls with any regularity.
can there be a rational way of kicking members -> (alternatives) out?
We have a small fleet. We also have a few members that I suspect priorities other characters/fleets. Am I allowed to kick people/avatars based on suspicions onlly?
As a leader of a community for 2 years, I highly recommend you ask yourself this question.
Do I own the people in my fleet?
If you answer yes to this, prepare to be the leader of a 1 man fleet. If you truly wish to lead, you will have to learn how to let go and allow your fleet to evolve in the direction the community wants.
This includes realizing that people's interests will wane and wax depending on their mood, financial responsibilities etc etc...
If I were you, I would delete your post before anybody from your community saw that... I know what my response would be.
/Leave fleet.

Wherever it is, they must not have internets there. I sort of envy them.
Some people are just straight-up looking for a negative reaction. They go on the ignore list -- for example, I don't feel its necessary to indulge the xenophobes of DS9 with conversation on an individual basis to correct their behaviour.
Sure, just start whacking them if the don't make whatever quota you set. Change your daily message to "FLEETMARKS OR GTFO" to make your priorities clear.
Sarcasm aside for a moment, if this is bothering you, you really need to rethink your expectations and/or methods of getting members.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] "I weary of the chase. Wait for me. I shall be merciful and quick."
I have a shocking and outrageous suggestion that will allow you to effectively ignore all members of a fleet:
Stop. Pugging.
Run STF's with your fleet. Period. I'll still PUG just to grind out EDC and marks for dilithium, but no way in the nine TRIBBLE would I ever have pugged when trying to kit out my chars.
Most pugs are uncoordinated messes who won't listen and can't communicate at the best of times, and if there are griefers deliberately messing things up then it's not even worth the effort.
