parse for ps4 users !

[_slowpoke_]

So, one more time: How do parsers cause or increase the amounts of negative behavior?

This so much. Parsers don't cause harassment. Harassers cause harassment. You can already report harassers.


Dear anti-parser folks, are you against the Internet? Why not? People use the Internet to harass, every day. You should be against the Internet. And basically every other form of communication ever invented by humankind, because, you know, harassment.

Sounds ridiculous? That's because it is. But that's quite literally the argument you are making. It's fallacious as hell.

Mind you I'm not saying harassment is a fact of life, whether in meatspace or online, we should quietly accept. Quite the opposite, we should actively fight it. But to do that, we need to fight harassers, and not the tools they happen to use. If you are so against harassment, petition SE to hire more GMs and implement better rules and mechanisms so harassers can get reported, warned, and/or banned both easier and faster. Step in if you see someone get harassed. Make harassment something that's not accepted within the greater community, and which is actively punished if it happens anyway.

But stop blaming some tool. A tool that does nothing but gather data & calculate numbers for you, because, you know, that's what computers are pretty good at (and humans suck at). It's up to you and your fellow players to give those numbers context and meaning. If the community is so shitty and toxic that people will use these numbers to harass each other, then they'd have done that without the numbers as well.

sames go for all the weapon in the world
it is a tool
it is the user intention causing all the trouble
no one can be sure it wont turn into a tool being misuse
and i can assure you, there are already ppl harassing other even without numbers
we can avoid harassment via internet by not using certain software, not going to certain website
it will help improve some ppl skills
it will also be misuse by jerk
it is inevitable
a tool always have two side
there are no argument
ppl who support it feel the good out weight the bad
ppl who against it feel the bad out weight the good
those are all number from their experience or internet search


we could tackle with harassment there are tons of way of solving
but at the end, SE is a company, economically efficient will always be a big concern
not implementing it is a way, extreme but effective
increase more GM to handle harassment is a way, is it efficient? SE will have to decide

there are no absolute right or wrong, in supporting it or against it
ppl who support it or against it have their own concern
each of us have our own ruler
