Do we need a report function on global chat ?

The report button should be taken out as people use it to report players for no reason! What they should do is have a new button called some thing like Next Chat, and it will take you to a different chat room! So if people do get upset over something that someone said they can go to a different chat! It can also be used as finding someone that speakers the same language as you do! I hope they will do that!

One time I was recruiting players for my clan called B3AST FROM HELL some people reported me for no reason

Good idea they should take that into consideration. I would love to have another option when I don't like the chat that I'm in....

While it is far from perfect, the alternative is far worse.

Um tap there name and hit bottom option= reported

I say keep the report button but make it when you get reported someone has to check the log and see if you said anything that warrants a ban. If someone is just reporting over and over for no reason they get banned as well.

I feel it should be replaced with an ignore feature. It's far more practical to adopt a system where the individual player can decide who is displaying inappropriate behaviour and simply hide their messages from view.

This is a great idea...I personally think having people attempt to moderate global(s) is probably overkill, I would have been happy enough to see the # of people reporting increased to a higher level to avoid how easily many of us get banned without cause (my most recent global ban on Sat occurred right after saying "hi") but an ignore feature is even better. A lot of the idiotic behavior in global I think would be reduced without a semi-captive audience...

Keep the button, but reduce the cool off period to 30 minutes. Also change the message from "offensive" to "inappropriate".
