Accepted Disallow the overly aggressive comments in additional info sections of complaints

It's not uncommon to see additional info sections like 'This user needs to be banned! He/she is the scum of humanity!' and have it be kept there with no warning given. If a user said the things people type into additional info sections anywhere else they'd be warned, but it's something that is excused here.

These don't happen incredibly often but they happen often enough for me to file a suggestion about it.

Example 1:
https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/user-complaint-purplelegoender.153765/#post-858794
'How this user has not been banned yet is beyond me, I am sick of this user hacking in SG and it's time that they are banned and de-ranked'

Example 2:
https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/user-complaint-digger0208.153027/
'This user has been ruining the SG experience for many of us players who fight fairly. The fact that he wins so many games like this is just outrageous. It needs to stop.'

Example 3:
https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/user-complaint-digger0208.153221/
'So hypocritical.'


Example 4:
https://www.ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/user-complaint-infernavolcan.152917/
'Just ban him already'

These are only examples from the first page and it's clear to see that it's very common (but not exclusive to) hacking complaints. Users shouldn't be able to treat others as though they are definitely hacking even though it hasn't been proven yet.


Thanks.

 

I never said to remove it, the suggestion is just to punish people that abuse the section.

 

Could you provide actual reasoning rather than just saying it doesn't matter? The rules of the server aren't being consistently enforced in the additional info section, it does matter.

 

The rules broken in the additional info section are consistently enforced. The rules most commonly broken in the section are things like flaming, hackusations and general disrespect. Then there's the fact that saying rules aren't consistently enforced isn't even a reasoning against this suggestion, it's supporting it as I'm looking to have them consistently enforced in this part of the forum.

Saying it has no effect on anyone is silly. If someone says 'How this user has not been banned yet is beyond me, I am sick of this user hacking in SG and it's time that they are banned and de-ranked' in a complaint about myself, it would effect me. Also, saying that it's ok because 'it's been happening forever' is not a valid reason whatsoever, that's like saying we should never change anything because X has always been a certain way.

If you look at N6's post earlier in the thread he says this:

It's in the rules to keep things professional, it doesn't matter if it's a game. You can be silly and have fun nearly anywhere else on the forum, the B&C forum is not that place.

To me this is like saying that people aren't capable of controlling their emotions, and sure some people aren't, but that's their problem and shouldn't be something that effects others. It is not the job of the server to coddle people because they have temper tantrums. There has to be a standard of behaviour expected of the playerbase.

 

It actually can have an effect on the complaint, attempting to enrage someone can cause them to comment something they wouldn't have otherwise on the complaint or elsewhere. Even if it doesn't have an effect, it doesn't matter. It's still an issue as it's just a free ticket to flaming someone.
