I guess I can see your point there about the game hosts not believing something said about a person.  A list would give an established reference for them to see.  "proof", or as close as you can get to it.

It will shrink, and we will remove the trolls that make the game agonizing and painful to play. That is a good thing. I can't tell you how frustrating it gets. Twilight do you play online? I'm going to awesome no otherwise, I think you would realize this is necessary because of what the trolls do in the games angers you and makes you consider leaving the community because of the absurd BS you have to put up with.

I am open to a concise list (probably in a new thread at this point) as to what solutions folks have as to the ICO troll problem.  I honestly can't say if it will result in anything, but I can add good solutions to my wishlist.

I honestly don't know what is best right now...I feel that the ideal solution would simply be a lot of hosts saying "Uhm, noooo, you can't play in this game because you will troll us...here's the boot"...hopefully people (both trolls and would-be trolls) get the point...that a list is even being discussed may make it's away around the MP community and the problem may go away....

Or, the whole thing could turn into a witchunt or vengeance-fest of people trying to blacklist players they simply don't like, and I don't think anyone wants that....

I agree....I'd like to try that option first...especially since there is nothing *technically* wrong with refusing to quit a game...

If someone else wants to deal with a different issue (like the ALL CAPS dialect or being being big meanies) then they can, but I'm not concerned with that, that's part of being online....

Something that may work is a review system where you could review players that you've played with. It could just be for noting instances of bad behavior, but it could also include the ability to complement players which have been found to be overall fun to play with. Would take a bit of work but eventually you would have a system where you could look up a player and see what the community overall thinks of the person. This would allow the hosts to do a quick look up of someone they haven't seen before and judge whether or not they would like to trust this person in their game.

I haven't had a ton of time on my hands lately, but i've played with the idea of trying to get a sins community site up and running in order to try to help the MP community grow a bit. I don't think this would be too hard to implement on the site if you guys think it would be a good idea.

I think you should leave me in charge of creating the banlist.  I have long been applauded for my coolness under fire, levelheadedness, as well as a an unbiased and polite approach to handling myself on ICO.  I would set a good example for anyone new to the scene.

Soft hearted wimps who don't have the ballz to stand up for themselves?

Civilized Individuals who don't want to be associated with dirty mouthed low lifes?

Monks of the highest order who consider verbal abuse and ranting an insult to the soul?

Noobs of the highest order that can't take a punch and not cry?

Modders with the most keen sense of smell for trolls because they are trolls?

Veterans who can only exist in a place of harmony..?

The power to ignore trolls such as myself is absent?

Maybe he's the one stretching out your games with *gasp* smurf accounts!
