Suggestion for the Ignore Feature

Just ignoring these players is not enough, just because you can no longer see what they type doesn't stop them from being a complete nuisance to players trying to enjoy the game.
In other games I have played, when you ignore someone it actually makes that Players invisible to each other.
This is the most effective way of stopping the harassment of players as defined in the Terms of Service under "User Conduct" sections
(f) "Stalk," threaten or otherwise harass or cause discomfort to another;
(n) Take any action that disrupts the Service or that negatively affects or may prohibit other users from enjoying the Website, the Games or any other aspect of the Service.
It seems that complaints made are not stopping these players from being a constant violation of those rules.

For a sec I thought you were going to suggest a total "Ignore Fleet" option.
Wouldn't that be useful lol
Which games have that?
Probably those which dont allow people to exploit the "chat ban" system :rolleyes:
Second Life, DDO, Utherverse, Original Neverwinter Nights Community coded Persistent worlds. I can think of off the top of my head.
I have also heard it is used in Everquest2 and WoW, but I have never played either of those so those are unconfirmed.
Definitely not true in WoW. Can't confirm or challenge the rest, though, so I'll take your word for it. The only one I've played more than momentarily was DDO, and I never played enough to get around to ignoring anybody.
This is still a good feature in my opinion. I hope that it will get some attention.
It is harder and harder to enjoy the game due to so many players harassing.
I am sure that this option would not only help players avoid harassment, but would alleviate some of the reports received daily by GM's, just a thought.
Take it as you will. I hope I will not regret purchasing lifetime. But what I can change is the amount of zen I buy. In my business I do not allow one patron to grief another, and I think it's fair to ask the same.
The ability to to mark all of Starfleet Dental as "ignored" at once?! Dare we dream?
I find this highly offensive. Starfleet Dental is a proud fleet. Yeah, my members aren't all that friendly, but they are generally good people. I would vouch for anyone regardless of being in my fleet. They are good men and women and deserve the respect of anyone in this game.
No. When you mute someone on Second Life, that person can still see you, but you can't see them. Well, you can see them, but they show up as a blank, generic grey human silhouette sprite. If you're within range of being able to be "rezed" by their client, they can still stalk you and everything else that was talked about above. What's more, they are not prevented from looking at the "picks" on your profile and using them to figure out where else you might hang out to stalk you or worse.
I've actually used the picks on a friend's profile to find a place they hang out at when that place wasn't even listed on their picks. I was just using logic. I wasn't stalking them, the place was a shopping area and I was hoping to find something they might like to buy it for them. Then I bumped into them when I went there there. If I can do it by accident, a stalker can do it far easier on purpose.
The thing is, the ignore feature on STO causes people to become muted for 24 hours if too many people add them to ignore in a short period of time. So ignoring people can prevent them from annoying others (at least for 24 hours). It can also inadvertently cause someone to be ineffective in a team due to the complete and total inability to communicate.

Ban Hammers should be in the hands of Moderators and NOT players.
What I would like to see however is what others in this thread including the OP suggested.. Adding someone to ignore makes it so you can't see there toon And can no longer be teamed with them in PVE or PVP instances. In other words, if you ignore them, It's as if they no longer exist to you. But this would work both ways. If you ignore someone then they no longer see you either.
But either way. Weather this system is ever put in place or not. The current system of, X number of ignores by X number of players in X amount of time Equals 24 hour chat ban needs to go. Players abuse it and it can truly Disrupt an honest players game play worse then a chat troll ever could.
I'm not sure about DDO, but I know LotRO didn't have such a feature. I'd be surprised if DDO did, since it was made by the same people.
I know this wasn't true for all NWN PW's. None of the ones I played had this feature, and I helped build a couple
of them myself,
