Limit foe list size

Postby slowreactor on Sun Nov 15, 2009 8:34 pm

Concise description:
  • Limit the maximum amount of foes you can have to 50 or 100, or another number that makes sense.

Specifics:
  • Foe lists can be useful, especially in dealing with those few people you just cannot stand. However, some people use this foe list to help further their own goals, e.g. foeing anyone that can beat them to try and get their score up.
  • I believe, that if we put a limit on how many people a person can foe, then we can help reduce that practice, and makes people really think about why they foe someone.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Reduce farming
  • Makes people think about why they foe someone, and will help shrink reports of "why'd you foe me? I didn't do anything to you!"

We already have a limit: The foe list limits itself at just under 10,000 because the connection times out if you try to foe more people.

But seriously, people should be able to foe whomever they want. How does it affect you if someone else is farming noobs?

Sounds reasonable to me; I would support this change.

Obviously any gross abuse of the game is forbidden. This includes but is not limited to: throwing games or deliberately benefiting from thrown games, intentional deadbeating, holding players hostage, serial teammate killing, hijacking accounts, systematically "farming" new recruits.

If there were only 50 or 100 assholes on this site, that would work great. But there aren't. So no.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Woodruff, you're hilarious.

You can't limit this, what if you limit it to 50 and then get spam, harassment, rude comments, etc. from 51 different players? I see your point for making this suggestion, but ultimately, its unlimited because of the limitless potential of the human mind.
