    Lightbulb Warnings for GoA

    For Guardians of Alterra, there should be a "Warn" feature.

    Like if someones in balefort being a troll, a guardian of alterra can use the command /Warn Name reason

    What would pop up on there screen.

    "Dawninfinity has given you a warning for the reason: Stop looking for a fight. Stupid troll."

    I'm certainly NOT a GoA, but I'll bet you 1k this feature might teach some people not to bug around

    Nice suggestion, but I don't see a big difference between that and messaging them

    Perhaps it should be a Automatic Message. "Guardian of Alterra DawnInfinity Reported you for Inappropriate Language. This behavior is not tolerated, action will be taken."

    I can't troll anymore?

    Anyway, one of the features of the report feature is being anonymous. I'm not sure, but I doubt all the GoAs would want their name to be show, as below. An option for them to show their name?

    Even goa is elite of elite, I doubt this being added because of abuse. As everyone knows all of goa have not been so good as status requires.

    You can be naughty without breaking the TOS, it's a fine line to be crossed. Lol. I don't think being a GOA includes completely changing who you are. If that was the terms, I'd resign from the position.

    Ditto, I'm me. A title, no matter how cool and honoring, can't change that.

    Personally, I think people expect a bit more from GoA than they should. Being a guardian is a title IMO, not exactly a job. More so a title saying "you're doing awesome and helping the community, here's a title so you can be acknowledged. Keep it up!". GoAs don't have any power really, and I think it'd be nicer if it were kept that way so that there isn't controversy and drama.

    I remember a mobile site I used to be active at. They chose "Members of the Week" and they held a sort off higher voice to the developers. When one of the members was chosen, she received death threats and hate messages in her private messaging. They didn't believe she deserved it. She was terrified and terminated her account because of this sour welcome she received from some people. Is was saddening that people got so worked up over something like that.

    If the GoA do receive some sort of authority, they should prepare for the ugly rebellion that would come their way. I know in some ways its nothing. But it can get to you. Just because you wanted to do the right thing.

    Firstly, not every PL player visits the forums, and they may not know what a GoA is.

    But I do think a pop up message would be good. Something that says "you have been warned for: 'Abusive language'. If you continue to misbehave, further actions will be taken and your account may be banned"

    Having a warning system built into PL may reinforce their authority, other then simply giving them a fancy shield.

    Thinking about this, it seems to be sorta like the GoA's ability to lock threads thing... sam put it somewhat like this

    "I wouldn't hang that burden on them uniformly. GoA is a thank you thing, not, hey thanks now do this other thing."

    Warning system: mute. People get muted to find out there's a mute feature. All the warning there needs to be IMO.

    Other warming feature: temp ban. Unless they do something awful enough to get perm banned. Which if its bad enough to get a perm ban, they should know not to say it IMO.

    I think most people have covered the various points i'd make.

    Its a really great idea but giving GoA's in-game responsibility might actually devalue the award.
    Use the SEARCH function or it'll probably be here--> PL stuff or SL stuff >>> I'm 'SRINGY 2' .

    Its not a responsibility, but more of an ability.

    But overall, I think the whole process may be more effort then its worth.

    Its only a way to say WHOO LOOK AT ME I AM THE BIG SCARY GOA AND YOU BETTER TOE THE LINE!
