If it's that big of a deal possibly bring it back in the future when they've work out a better system.

"Other players have reported you for inappropriate comments"

I vote yes to get rid of this abomination of a button. It is not used correctly, as is widely known, and now with the mute button there should be no issues. Players ALWAYS have the option to report responsibly by pm-ing SC with a screenshot and their issue...

For now I will lay aslumber within my active yet not so social clan chat :P

It is totally abused, not working as intended and for most people it destroys a lot of social aspects of the game, and in a game where there is no method of sending PM's or communicating with people outside of your clan except global I really don't think SC can afford to shed social elements.

The main argument SC put up in objection to getting rid of report is that they need to have measures in place to protect young players, as any age range can download and play the game, however most if not all abusive words are blocked in global (often totally unoffsenvie words are blocked too) and if people still prevail to annoy you or find ways of abusing others in global then the most effective way of getting rid of that person forever is the mute button if you report them and 24 hours later there is a chance you may run into that person again.

The facts are that mute is much more of a punishment to trolls than report, it won't be long before the persistent trolls end up on so many people's mute list that they will be logging in to very quiet global chats.


Needless to say, despite the fact I've never been banned, It's obvious SC need to get rid of this awful feature from their game.

Yep that is exactly what the report button is for. (Sarcasm finished)

Also pedophiles are everywhere, not just global.... They could climb up your windows and snatch your people. So hide your kids, hide your wife.

Im an Elder in the Clan and I try to recruit, sometimes you get asked if someone can join, u say no, they report, and IM BANNED FROM CHAT FOR 24 HOURS?

To be honest its frankly, disgusting how easy it is for Kids to mess up the game for others by abusing this button.

Please remove. Im currently banned from Global Chat for 24 Hours and I have NEVER said an offensive word in global.

Global is very useless as it is now, something needs to change, because it is very useless. Let us hope SC will remove that useless button from global soon.

Cheers,

have a wonderful weekend.

(c) responding with a "3" (I was being generous) to a guy who asked me to rate his base - btw his response to my rating was to swear at me at least a few times (I muted him quickly). And yes, before he started swearing I was starting to give him tips on what to do;
(d) bc some kid went on global after I said "heyhey global" (nothing else) and said "report him"; and
(e) someone meant to hit "visit" and pressed "report" instead - they apologised.

The mute button is awesome because they can never be unmuted, whereas reporting people who should not be on global only suspends them for a short time.

So the next time they see me on and want my tips this time, or to join my clan again, too bad, you lose.

dont like someone? Mute is the easiest and most effective way to go.

they should have removed report as soon as they added mute. I dont know why supercell is not thinking things through.

add clan wars now pls, farming just to upgrade stuff is starting to get boring without a change in gameplay to keep it interesting.

would anyone else like to tell about their own experiences with report or their hatred for the report button? feel free to post them below. ;)

Report gets me banned at least once a week. I am mature & respectful, but I do have to go to global & recruit.

I have followed every suggestion here (apart from "dont go into global") to avoid getting banned. I say as little as possible, am positive & respectful. I don't argue with anyone. I don't talk to people who beg to join my clan when they don't even come close to meeting requirements. I don't curse or flirt or act immature.

What I have noticed is that after I get 2-3 recruits from the same global, ppl report me. Sure looks like it's sore losers doing the reporting.

Meanwhile, my global is still littered with trash talk, curse words, beggars, and straight-up trolls... the bleeps are a joke since they censor OK words much more often than bad ones. the KIDS who want to curse know ways around the censors.

So from my perspective the ONLY thing report button does is keep decent ppl out of global while the trolls continue to run rampant.

I think it's detrimental to ADULT players of the game to keep it.

My two cents...

yeah, i totally understand. thats all global is now, its pretty much a shooting range for idiots to shoot at whoever they want, and your the dummy being shot at. you put yourself in global only to get reported simultaneously for no reason. this needs to be changed.

http://i.imgur.com/VDyKirC.jpg

i suggest that SC should check for the reported chat instead of automatic bann system . and increase the time from 24h to 48h or a week lol

I have never been banned. I frequently report extremely foul or vulgar chat.
Spammers, ASCII artists, and 'join plz' recruiters who show twice on the same screen get muted.

It is not a problem to me so I voted no. YMMV.

R/
STSCS

I'm the nicest guy on global and I'm banned every day. Global is a cesspool and the report function it uses is useless at best harmful more likely. Completely unusable chat.

I don't even know why it wasn't removed when the mute button came along.
It may be ruled out, but there is honestly NO REASON for a report button now that we have a mute button. My clan mates have lives, they aren't on all the time when Im on, so the solution isn't: Dont go on global. The solution is: Remove the button.
Hopefully the next update will be more of a social update, which expands on the profile system, fixes global up, and GIVES US A FORUM CHAT! And of course snow....
One can dream, right?
