Should the report system be closed

Thirtyover 7 years ago

As per discussion we were having in Discord earlier this morning, some people are advocating for the report system changing due to recent circumstances. Some of us are proposing the idea of the report system being a closed system while reports are open or in process. Here is how it would work:

You can only report someone if you were in a game with them, or if they interacted with you on the lobby wall/forum/etc. No trolling somebody's profile to get them for minor rule breaking as a form of being vengeful or looking to report farm.

Open/in progress reports: Are viewable by moderators, the person that is being reported, and the person that reported them

Closed reports: Are viewable by everyone so there can be moderator accountability, everyone can review outcomes, etc.

CIVIL DISCUSSION ONLY. NO SAYING THIS IS STUPID WITHOUT CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK. IT IS A DISCUSSION, NOT "THIS IS THE WAY IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND IT IS NOT CHANGING GET A LIFE LOSER."

Current reports should be visible IMO.
-Stops people reporting the same player for the same offence.
-Allows people to comment to support or defend the report, explain what they were thinking etc.
-Allows people to see if there is a trend (player keeps on getting reported for trolling etc), so you can dodge.

That said, I would support reports after a period of time (6 months?) getting archived and becoming only visible for moderators, and the people involved in the reports. Still allows for accountability and if the people involved want to appeal they can screenshot etc. This gives the user more privacy, and allows people to move on from a bad past etc.
