Change to the ban system.

In all my years of playing, I have only experienced people saying rude things to me maybe TWICE. You're clearly doing something wrong if you're running into people being so toxic to you, so often, that you feel the need to lash out at them and I'm inclined to believe that possibly...it's not entirely someone else provoking little old innocent angelic you. Best thing to do is just not say ANYTHING to start in a dungeon.

If someone is bashing you for not playing well, then ignore them and report them so then they can be in this position where THEY are about to lose their account. If you're going off on other people for playing less than spectacular then maybe you need to take a moment and learn to keep your own mouth shut since we ALL get those DF groups where the other people seem to be watching anime on their second monitor. It sucks but it's just a game. Drop it and move on.

I don't know what to tell you. I've never been reported. I think the majority of us never have. Just be a nice person and you don't have to worry. If you're really struggling, close your chat window so you won't be provoked.


Regarding Buzzwords' post though.....
I do agree that frequency as well as severity should be considered. Small infractions that happen over long periods of time should hold less weight than severe ones over the same amount of time. As well, frequent infractions should be handled more severely than infrequent ones.
