we need a flag message/mute/report message function on this forum.
for users who are just arguing for an argument's sake.

arguing for the sake of arguing = spam.
I believe one can agree less clutter => points understood/discussion/conclusion reached quicker

thx for your opinion. we agree to disagree.
mute does not stop the person expressing an opinion. it just stops me from seeing it.


I think the mute function is very helpful. it is already available on the armorgames chat. it is available on league of legends in game chat. other game developers have done it. it's available on facebook as blocking. it would make this forum a more friendly environment also.

Just report said user to the devs directly. They're already closed one thread because of them, I'm sure more will follow at this rate.

I'm criticizing your idiotic ideas, if you do not want others to comment on your ideas, you should've wrote the ideas on a notepad and read them to yourself."

this is the most explicit one. comment with one purpose only - inflame and insult. There are plenty others using sarcastic remarks and cheap logic which does not aid decision making. it just takes too much time to filter and explain.

Hm, mute in a forum would be weird. Someone would post something and you wouldn't see it, while the rest would. They might reply to said comment and you would be confused and feeling left out. Take the thread about EP sharing for example. You wouldn't know when and why the discussion changed from EP to opening chests.. I'd say just ignore whoever you don't like, that's what I do. I only reply to those that have something important/intellectual to say or ask (for) something in a polite way.

As for flag/report, I'm in. I guess someone could spam the feature, but there's an easy way to see when someone's using it right and when someone's abusing it. If I only report a specific person all the time, Erika will understand that it might be personal. If many people report the same person though, then it's probable that that person's a troublemaker. In other forums they usually give 3 strikes; one day ban, 1 week ban and then perma ban from ever posting in this forum again. It would require a couple active moderators though that the devs trust.

All in all, I agree that the forums need a little change. Just yesterday I was discussing about it in Kong chat and we concluded that it's not really worth posting ideas here if a troll just comes in and stirs things up, derailing every thread and arguing for no apparent reason, let alone constant name calling others that ignore him or try to talk reason to him. Better post suggestions elsewhere, like Kong forums, where there are more moderators and there are functions like "report abuse".

Pretty sad that we have to talk about the game elsewhere and not in the game's official forums, just cause a troll is allowed to do as he likes..locking a thread or two is not the solution, unless we want all the threads to end up the same way.

Not much can be done wcli456, just ignore those you don't like and reply only to game-related stuff with constructive feedback. Other than that, you could always reach out to Erika and express your concerns in private. Dunno what platform you're on but she drops by every now and then on Kongregate.

It is more fun to point out the excuses that these trolls come up when they do not have a logically argument. Best part is confronting them, then they roll over and cry victim.

Notice how the user desperately try to play the blame game with no valid reason? Making things up and playing the victim, the sad part is people took the bait, hook, line, and sinker.

The literal amount of irony in this one post alone is mindblowing.
