After watching the Extra Credits episode regarding Harassment, I decided to see if I could post here and let my developer know of a possible way to stay on top of the game in terms of player harassment.

The idea is that S2 must have metrics on who is muted during in-game play, as I was assured by the Extra Credits crew, and to simply auto mute players who are muted more times than 10% of the average player on a bell curve.

^ episode on harassment, this show is amazing and more people should know about it.

The change would reduce report-a-player requests because less people would be getting offended because less people would be exposed to the flamers and ragers. Having less report-a-player requests would allow S2 to process more requests.

I would personally allow players to reset their metrics(measurements) by paying $20 to stop from being globally muted but I am sure this would end up with criticism on how I am greedy and not actually fixing the situation.


What do you think?
