Getting griefed sucks, especially when you've put time into a round. I get why you'd want somewhere to call it out.
The problem with reports like this is that collecting evidence only helps after the damage is done, no matter whether it ends up in a public thread or somewhere only moderators can see. It's like an ambulance at the bottom of the hill, and we'd rather build a safety barrier at the top so fewer people get hurt in the first place.
It also means someone has to judge a round in context from a clip, and from the outside, a lot of griefing looks like an accident.
@Rocket has killed me a bunch of times by accident while trying to rescue me. Clip any of those moments and they look like a griefer. If that's then reported and a moderator makes an incorrect call - you've then punished someone for an accident and probably created an unnecessarily anti-social relationship.
Considering all this, Ahwoo is building an account standing system that rewards players for positively interacting with each other. As @Rocket wrote in the Announcements channel in the RocketWerkz Discord - "healthy communities are made by communities, not by policing the community."
So if someone is being a menace, call it out in the round, where everyone can see what's going on, and the other person can explain themselves or knock it off. Slurs and the like are a different matter, and people dodging chat filters will be removed.
We're still working out what the standing system should consider and reward, so if you've got thoughts on that, throw them in here!
