It can be as simple as a message praising me for avoiding toxicity and confirming the reported guy got an X on his record.
Those key frag messages are a good move, but we can do more.
Telephone Booth4 votesYou don't need a reward for ignoring trolls who want you to talk shit to them. Your reward is just not getting the punishment that they will probably get. I do the same thing. I don't argue with people in game, I just see it and report afterward. Asking for recognition for that is petty, in my opinion.

It's pretty frustrating always turning the other cheek and quietly reporting, but I do so for the sake of my account. Getting some comfort after the fact from messages showing the guy actually got punished or even a thumbs up for showing self control go a long way towards soothing the tilt
Umbral Regent1 votes...or even a thumbs up for showing self control...
Well, the random key fragment drops for Honor Level 2+ have little congratulatory messages about honorable behavior, whether it's overall statistics ("You've gotten 40% more GG <3 honors than the average player") or recent data ("70% of your teammates recently have honored you for staying cool!")
I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, but it sounds like it.
HalcyonDweller1 votesYeah, I think that it's better to reward positive behavior than to reward vindictive behavior. That said, it might do a lot to reduce frustration factors to let people know that their reports have an effect.
Umbral Regent1 votesAgreed. Although I think the biggest issue right now, more or less, is clarity. The Instant Feedback Report is kinda-sorta meant to reassure players that their reports matter (as far as I can tell), but over several threads, I've seen that people misconstrue it as the sole exclusive indicator that someone got punished - that if the pop-up doesn't appear, then that means that the IFS isn't punishing people despite valid reports.
And, even though I've thought about it for a fair while, the only thing I could come up with is just an "all-or-nothing" argument - have the Feedback Report match people's expectations and come up whenever a punishment is delivered, or don't have it at all.
That said, I'm also certain that there's a middle-ground to be had, like some sort of added text explaining that "these messages won't appear every time someone you report gets punished" - and/or even a rules/frequency change so as to make it somewhat more reliable info.
I could probably rattle this around my head - or discuss it at-length, for that matter - for a while, but I figure this is the most I should say in this thread, since it's fairly off-topic.
HalcyonDweller2 votesI think it's on-topic enough, but I respect if you don't wish to discuss it further. That said I'd like to put forth something I've seen before:
Someone once made a post suggesting that the system give players a patch-ly or monthly feedback report - giving them info like, "X% of your reports this cycle were found to be accurate," or "Y% of your reports led to a punishment, while another Z% contributed to building a case against a player who is suspected of being toxic." etc...

Yeah I suppose. But I try to live by the golden rule in life, and many times I've had to remind myself, I do it because I feel it's right, not because I expect recognition or compensation or some sort of return for it. But I get what you're saying. It wouldn't hurt. But Id rather they didn't waste time on a feature like that.
RITO: Dump all resources into troll detection!
HalcyonDweller1 votesOP has a bit of a point though, the frustration factor of dealing with awful people and not knowing if they are dealt with appropriately is significant for some people.
I don't think people should be given pats on the back, but it might help mitigate frustration a lot if they knew their reports in general were having an effect.

Yeah I can see where he's coming from. It couldn't hurt.. I just think there's probably more pertinent issues that would be time better spent working on them. (Holy shit does that sentence even make sense? Fuck it im leaving it)
