[PC] Obscene Language Explanatory Tag
Posted: Sun Sep 13, 2009 2:37 pmOn the ratings page, add a tag for abusive or obscene language.
The tags already provide a number of ways to indicate why someone recieved a good rating or poor rating, but there is no tag currently to indicate someone who is needlessly foul and obscene in their game chat. You can indicate someone is esp. friendly or silent, but not esp. hostile. (Other then giving them a low attitude score, but this would explain how they earned the low attitude score.)
This would improve gameplay by improving what could be learned from ratings. I play conquer club for fun, and people cussing each other out isn't fun- I would just as soon avoid people who can't lighten up and remember this is a game.
One example:
In a 3-player game I just completed, (5572773 if you really must see), blue tried to warn red that green (me) was currently the biggest threat and get him to unite against me. Red ignored him, so blue, seeing the writing on the wall gave me the GG, and a comment that he didn't know what red was thinking. Red's reply was for blue to "Get off your own dick"- I don't want to run and try to get red in trouble with the mods (which is why I've not named names, although anyone who bothers to track down the game would see them) and I know I can foe red to avoid him in the future- but I think it would be nice in my rating to indicate to others why I felt red had a 1-star attitude and allow them to decide if that is a reason they would avoid him for themselves...
