    the global situation and how to change it

    Has anyone else noticed that recently 40-80% of the conversations on global are extremely downgrading? i mean seriously, i remember when global used to be an amusement park, where you could go, find good clans, advertise your own, make friends, and even have a good conversation or two, now it has turned into a sort of abusement park, where 70% of the time you cant have a talk without being cussed at. this is really taking alot of the fun out of the game, as i used to look forward to talking to someone on global, but now steer clear. it is the same with clan chat, people join, make derogatory remarks, then leave, it is the same with invite only clans, you cant check up on someone before you accept them.

    So i propose, that on clan chat, the same censoring machine is applied (btw SEE the censoring machine isn't working on many of the global channels) but people would still accent words, so the machine could be updated to blur anything with accents, as well as cuss words, and other offensive remarks.

    But... if we were to blur everything that is accented we would have to remove some of the words from the blur list that already exists, for instance, the word kill can be used offensively but how are you going to discuss your most recent victory with global players without words like that. i believe that this problem has been overlooked by see through no fault of there own, but simply because of lack of enthusiasm from people on these forums.

    If the above ideas are not themselves implemented then there needs to be a larger consequence for reporting, say ban from the game for a twenty-four hour period, could be devastating, while a ban from global of a similar time is simply annoying. but people would use worse consequences for reporting, to troll other people by reporting them, so i think that whenever someone is reported, a screenshot should be taken, of the global screen at that time, as well as a few posts below. (is this already the system that is used? idk?)

    Some may fail to see reason for any of this, but i believe that a crucial portion of SEE's success with this game has been through building community, through clans, and through global. i also think that many younger people would benefit from a safer global.

    if neither of these tow ideas are appealing, then we can add different kinds of global channels, while this would take a lot of work, i believe that the results would be infinitely upbeat. this would work in a similar way to the forums when you went on to global, there would be a list of different types of global's, just like the forum for coc home page. IE. clan advertisement/recruitment global Off topic/conversational global coc discussion global and so on and so forth. or we could meld all of these ideas together, to create a safer, and more fun and interactive global.

    I think that this situation needs to be addressed. i also feel that i have suggested a few good (if rather complicated) solutions.


    Thanks for your input

    A. it is actually SEE
    SUP
    ERC
    ELL
    B. Then do you agree with a more thoughtful global, or different global channels?

    C. It is a feature request, but it is also a general topic, that has not yet been addressed. general gets more traffic, which is why i also posted it here as a poll

    Sorry about the editing.

    I agree the state of global is dire. Although I still manage to have some good conversations with people... the last one was over a week ago.... and I got disconnected

    My brother commented a few weeks ago in chat that leaders should be able to chose a setting, no swearing, mild swearing, no filter. I think that this would be a better idea. Some friends of clan members joined and when I pulled them up on something I got a quite rude response. It did not go down well. To top it off I had a younger member asking to explain what it meant.....over and over and over again.



    as for screenshots. If enough people get 'reported' on global they get a 24h ban on global. If you want stronger action take a screenshot and report in game - it will be up to supercell if they want to do anything about it.

    I suppose if enough people were banned it may filter through to the rest of people on global But in reality the only way is if Supercell confirmed that it banned people for such actions.

    okay i thought that i did screenshot it, thanks for the suggestion about editable clan chat, i was sort of hovering all around that, the main purpose was the global situation, it is possible to have nice conversations, but they are becoming more and more uncommon, the clan chat, is also needed, though i don't know if it is needed more. what i was trying to say about the banning thing, is that a ban from the entire game, for a certain period, not just from global... this may be a little drastic though.

    From what others have said usually it's a temp ban. but it could become permanent with repeated behavior. Personally I think that this is fair. Global didn't just go like that overnight. It happened because people realized there was no consequences.

    I agree 100%

    Yes global is a big problem! People don't respect each other and on top of that they cuss me out whenever I report them because of this offensive behavior...I feel that there is some reinforcement that needs to be done because people say there are no moderators in-game on clash of clans!I think there are. So I feel supercell and us need to have a discussion on this topic before it excells out of control!!!

    right people arent being punished sufficiently, so it is getting gradually worse.

    I agree that something needs to be done. The current state of global is downright pitiful. If it's not kids trying their best to circumvent the censorship, quite easily I might add, then it's full of racially charged language, downright cruelty to some, and then heaven forbid some poor girl says that she is female.. It can get pretty filthy quick. On top of that you have people openly soliciting children's kik accounts and other info. Most is innocent, but some isn't.

    The best solution is just avoid global. Supercell appears to have no intentions on addressing this. Some would say it's nothing you won't find all over the Internet, and that's true.. But I am amazed a multi million dollar company just turns a blind eye to this on their own chat servers, and chooses to be reactive rather than proactive in making it a safe haven for discussions.

    Moderators, and visible actions is what would improve this. Some kid harassing a female player suddenly getting a boot message come across in global that reads "XXX has been banned by Moderator" would get the message out pretty quickly.

    In the meantime, just avoid the place, and make sure your younger kids do too.
