Suggestion to reduce abuse.

[Errors]

1. Provide healers with ability to flag an abusive player in the raid/party frames (tick box) If the flag exists then a status change to be placed on that character so that they cannot receive heals from the player that has flagged them, also possibly adding a graphic for all to see flag placed .. name and shame! is perhaps another option.

I'm sure you are just giving your perspective on this as a healer but you have to realize there are healers out there that are bad as well. With your suggestion what would prevent these players from just flagging anyone they want? Or for that matter someone in a raid such as crystal tower just flagging random people for the sole purpose of making the raid fail? What if someone made an honest mistake either by accident or just simply new? The possible abuse of a system like this could frankly get out of hand very quickly.

2. Add a right click report facility for all players which would not only report the abuser but also send the last five minutes of the chat log so that they can instantly see on receipt details. It can be difficult to continue playing, taking screen shots and filing reports in instance while the abuse is rolling - this would resolve that.

I agree SE could streamline the reporting process, such as they did with adding someone to your blacklist. A simple right click context menu for reporting for cheating or abusive behavior with an option to attach the chat log, time, etc.. would just streamline the process of being able to report someone.

Could you please post this idea on reddit?

Post the link once you do, thanks.

I did as you asked I posted the link to this on reddit, it would seem an emotive subject and I had not thought about the abuse by healers that could occur as a result of such a facility as I suggested in "1" but if nothing else it will perhaps bring alternative suggestions to help all deal with it so that people can play for fun and not have to tolerate bad behaviour directed both toward them and their fellow players, it just seems to be accepted generally that its ok to type terrible insults and swearing to other players, I was merely trying to think of a way that we the community could help to eradicate it.

The best way to stop abuse is to keep reporting abusive players, once players are starting to get banned, and the posts go start to go up, people will start to work out there are repercussions and that it's not worth loosing your character over.

I'm 99% sure he only asked you to post it on reddit so you'd get flamed and thumbs-downed. It makes no sense to give so much power to someone simply because they're a healer. People of all classes and jobs harass others.
