Make Accurate Reporting Affect Honor

Ifneth··1 votes·239 views

A history of making accurate reports should contribute to your honor, and making too many inaccurate reports should reduce it. This would incentivize reporting while also punishing over-reporting.

We should also add a public 'creep score' of the number of players punished due to your reporting appear. It would appear in the honor flair, which should be granted for the next game after a successful report, if you received an instant feedback report last game. This change would give dutiful reporters something to be proud of, while also deterring bad behavior by reminding would-be toxic players that they are being watched.

Personally, I already love reporting toxic players and getting instant feedback reports, and these changes would make it even more fun and rewarding. Getting the little thank-you flair would definitely help me feel better after whatever toxic thing happened, and seeing my CS number tick upward over a season would remind me of the good I have done.

I agree with this entirely it sounds like a good idea

There isn't an over-reporting problem.

You are only punished if you break the rules. Reporting non-toxic players doesn't matter.

A simple and resounding no from me.

Care to elaborate?

It may frighten people to not report in general, even if a valid report.

It can be used as a harassment tool: either by trying to get people to do wrong to be able to report or by people seeing high "creep" scores.

Honestly I also don't want to deal with in game or even here a whole "I have 65 creeps and you have 27." "Such a high creep score must be (insert some insult here)" "Such a low score must be toxic themselves or endorse it".

If you want it to affect honor, don't announce it. Avoid public or private counters for valid reports too. (unless they actually release the monthly status cards)

Oh, wow. I never thought about any of that. Jeez my idea has the potential for rampant abuse. Whoopsie!
