Yep. The refund thing is smart.
How about, if the report is valid, then the reporting players get refund but in different cases different percentage. For instance, 0%if it is toxic chat, 25%if it is toxic behavior but don’t directly effect others, 50%if it is toxic and directly effected other players, 75% if it is light cheats and hacks, 100% if it is super toxic and hacks.
Sorry but this idea has gotten a little giggle out of me

Holy shit, dude. Absolutely not.
You want Gaijin to monetize reporting on top of all the other monetization we deal with?
Are you out of your mind?

I would like to add something to the changes you suggest. If a report comes back as not justified for action to be taken the player that paid the GE for the report be charged an extra 100 GE on top of the 100 original GE to prevent people from wasting staff’s time on expedited reporting and attempting to abuse the system. If it leads to a negative balance, then all normal consequences would apply.
Whats next, paying GE to fire special APHEFSDS ammuntion?

No one will ever get a response from Gaijin concerning any reports they make. As mentioned all of the reports are dealt with on an individual basis, and IF any punishments(or not) are meted out, it remains private between the game and the offending player. There is no “day in court”, or “victim’s rights” and no “revenge” factor concerning any of that. Again, as stated, you should file valid reports using the in game complaint system and that’s it, that is literally all you have to or get to do. That is the “duty” of every player if they wish to help keep the game on an even keel. No one gets to, or should ever be allowed to pay money to try to “make” things happen to other players, especially when it comes to the Game Rules. Those Rules apply to everyone equally and no matter how much money a player might spend on the game, they do not get special consideration, or a different set of Rules or “leniency” because of their spending habits. This has been a fairly common misperception by a good many players I have seen here in the Forum over the years as well. . . . just not how it works, nor should it ever be this way. Again, I understand your sentiments and sorry you had a bad go of it, but bending, breaking or changing the Rules to suit your desire to dole out some sort of revenge to some player because they acted badly is pretty ludicrous for the most part. Make your report(s), have some faith in the system(it is a trust thing after all) and give it another go. Hopefully you fare better next time. We all have to take some lumps now and then. But there is no logic or a good argument from your point of view that is going to change any of this, or sway anyone that can do anything about it anyway. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and carry on.
Imho the whole idea of the OP is based on wrong assumptions like:
- Reporting of team killers / cheaters (outside botters) has any effect and results in immediate action (imho zero effect)
- The reporting of anything chat related would not work (works imho pretty good)
- Gaijin would care about a proper game play experience for all and is hiring “real” and enough staff (so no volunteers and no excessive response times) - imho the current status quo proves that this is an illusion
A fee to provide a report makes only sense if those assumptions would be correct, as it would simply prevent fully intended “wrong” reporting and therefore reducing the workload in order to accelerate the processing of those reports.
So imho the fee in itself is already an entry barrier and should therefore prevent intentional “false reporting” by it’s design. Charging a fee for an “wrong reporting” on top of that is either sarcasm or a sign that the fee is too low.
Don’t get me wrong, but imho the overall feedback here should give you a clear indicator, that the old rule
The opposite of good is in good faith
is still valid.
-
If you would have read the entire posts of all official “Fair Play Communication” you might have noticed, that the majority describes reporting as ineffective and almost useless.
-
I mean hell of experienced players report real cheaters and simply have the impression that they are wasting their time.
-
So in order to propose a fee (with a refund) in case the cheat is clear visible and can be proven with the replay would require a functioning system in the first place - and would just prevent that the reporting system is abused by kids having fun with spamming reports.
-
Your focus on everything chat related is imho wrong as from my pov the GMs doing a good job with their chat punishments.
Standard reports are washed down the toilet, so it’s not that bad of an idea, because it actually introduces the option to report someone, and we haven’t had that thing in game for years.

If Gaijin needs money to find motivation to take care of reports, it’s time to stop playing the game.

The moderation quality is also horribad. Their idea is to basically allow for endless griefing, as long as no “,bad word” gets uttered. I’m not surprised mods are oftentimes being replaced by mindless bots. Facebook tried using “smart bots” and now they’re slaughtering valuable content left and right, though :)

Waking up and reading this monstrosity of a suggestion is very nice trust me
I mean, monetising the report system means that hackers can only be caught by the anti-cheat system,so good luck with that

Since I agree with the situation you described, I don’t want to go into it any further because this sometimes leads to consequences here anyway.
And on the subject of FB … yes … my wife had a business page and someone reported this page because of “inappropriate” content.
The page was first blocked, objections were ignored and then it was deleted without warning.
I didn’t really care about FB before … now well … I wouldn’t recommend it at all now.

Players will think that regular reports are ignored.
