Although I stand by the pledge in my signature (6 months sub for an MM pose in case it's ever deleted), I'm in favor of anything that gives the in-game mods more ability to do their damn jobs without having to deal with the game itself preventing them from doing so.
To take a recent example as a point of reference, I shouldn't be penalized because someone else has the audacity to call me and an old friend a "faggot" because they didn't like a public male-male kiss in a relatively secluded area. But here's all the steps I need to go through to make sure this dipshit doesn't ever pull this again (which I recommend to anyone in a similar situation):
- Click the ignore button.
- Open up my art program of choice and get a screenshot.
- Crop out the top bar of my browser.
- Upload the screenshot to Imgur.
- Find the person in my message list and take them off ignore (since you can't report an ignored person).
- File the report.
- Put them back on ignore.
I understand much of this is necessary because they can't reference a time-stamped master chat log. There is no logical reason for this. Why not give them at least a point of reference for an incident? So they can say "Yes, this person threatened/insulted/harassed/whatevered someone at exactly this time" -- without needing to rely on someone else's word. Why hamstring your own in-game mod team?
