Need a way to ban trolls

February 19, 2009 4:23:44 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

It is pretty frustrating when someone joins a game online just to spam it with 0

... There is no way to stop them. If you kick, they can just re-join. We need a simple ban feature. It's not asking for much!

This is a serious problem with trolls eaxily being able to sabotage games, but it's also a problem for general people who get upset (but otherwise wouldn't be trolls).

 

E.G. you kick someone because they are not a good fit for the bakance of the game, and they get mad and keep joining. It is impossible to stop them from re-joining. A simple ban feature would fix this.

 

 

The ease of making multiple online accounts makes it worse. Bans should apply to the entire license account, not just a single name.

I was in that game last night. You're right. I also posted my own suggestion about this issue over in General Discussion.

I have to agree!  ICO needs overhull.  And I would love it to be included with otehr MP goodies for second miniexpension.  As is 2nd miniexpension will be all SP crap, so I think it would be smart to include stuff for MP players to get us to buy it.

Not in a bunch, besides I go commando while in this suit. I retract my previous statement when the context of the word was defined.

I had that same guy we kept using the ignore command but he created at least 5 new names while that happened. there should be some way to ban people who are imature as this as they obviously can't hand'e acting like humans.

It's pretty obvious that anyone can create as many accounts as they want (this is a bad idea anyway), but I'm guessing there are really very few (1 or 2) people out there who have the time to troll Sins.

Some common names I've seen are

Ban King

and

"Ignore Now Bitch"

and

"Ignore Now Bitch"0

and

Sins 101

or "Sins 101"

 

Probably all the same person. Remove that one person's license to play, and the problem is solved........

Not fast enough. Sorry, but I will not quit a game just because a (few) idiots will not grow up.

Did Sins 101 really get a ban?  Temporary or permanent?  I wonder if he reads this forum and if he'll respond to all of these allegations.

Don't ban him!! he is bringing fun and lulz to an otherwise dead and boring community.

Listen, it's trolls like him that make a forum or game community feel strongly about  the particular they are on.

They serve as a ralling point to the hatred of the community.

He's been banned. His account was removed and his IP tracked. We'll permanently block it when we reset the server for the next patch. If anyone else does this, please report to support@ironcladgames.com and we'll ban them as well.

We also added some other surprises for them that I'm sure they won't find so funny.

Ummmmm.....what in the hell are you smoking?!? Brings fun and lulz!?!? Your twisted. If you think its that boring then there are constructive ways to fix that. Not by being stupid. For example, Me and few fellow sinners have taken SINS to another lvl, we RP. Yes, may sound odd but its enjoyable and brings us together for even more fun. You should try it sometime, get online, make a causal slower paced game,  and pretend your a commander giving orders to the troops. Make the war personal for whatever side you fight for.

As a long-time online multiplayer player, I can see SnoopDaggo's point to an extent.  These types of miscreants do add some color to the game and make it a little more interesting.  I guess it's kind of fun to watch a man-child have a baby fit and to then try to think of creative ways to get back at the other people.  It's quite possible that a mere one-month or two-month ban would have gotten the point across to him.

Let Spam 101 serve as a lesson to all of us that if we try to disrupt ICO, there could or will be repurcussions.

With anything like this , we need an appeal forum.
