    Default my idea :)

    Ok I will have to ask samhayne for permission first but what do you think about pl police. I thought of this when I was in forest haven and some people started being really rude, this again occured in balefort. Maybe there should be one for each town too.

    Everyone can report anyone. I don't see the need of a 'police' force in PL. And when you're saying that every town need one, how will that work? Should there be a player in each instance of a town? FH alone can easily have 20+ instances already. And what about the empty towns? Should a player just stand there all day hoping someone pops in? Another point, flaming is often done in PM's, no way a regular player can catch that.

    Just my thoughts


    And for all doubters of my rockstar status:

    Most people just believe someone esle will report, but no1 does as for private messaging maybe the person could the one pl police person, they could tell a dev and a dev could have a look and see.

    Makes no sense. From what I can make out Devs already look at the chat when you email them.

    What's that based on?? Most of my friends (and myself), report immediately when they see extremely rude behavior.

    Perhaps this is based on the sheer number of reports that STS receives. In the time it takes STS to look over chat records, the person abusing the system continues to curse, say derogatory slurs, etc. I am greatly appreciative of the report system, but this suggestion of a PL police (while I agree has some practicality issues) would expedite the system to minimize lag time between report and results. At least, as I understand the suggestion

    Remember, with power comes great responsibility.

    I don't mean to offend anybody, but I can only think of a few that would be able to control not being a power trip about this. Then again, those very same people probably wouldn't want the job.

    Also, regarding the PM situation, when a developer is in towne, they can see ALL chat. Even somebody's PMs.

    Then the Alterra police will become like the uchiha's in Naruto and attempt a coup d'état on STS.
    All jokes aside, like everyone else said, it isn't needed. We're all "police" and fully capable of using the report button

    Itachi = awesome, Sasuke = fail, the real Madara = win luckily the report button is indeed equal to a good resource!

    Rhetorical question, but if you have police, u need a jail. How would this work?

    I agree this is not required tho.

    Letting players ban or mute other players could lead to abuse. Also, lines can be blurred between what is acceptable and not. This could lead to the loss of players that STS would otherwise wish to keep, and as such these actions should remain at the discretion of STS. All we can do is report to alert them of the situation and they will take any action deemed appropriate.
