There are a number of studies about the impact of social media, modern computer games and the fostering of anti-social behavior. Some tie in to chat content I supposed, but IMHO we are WAY out in the weeds from the OP topic here.

Well, to be real, you show what the issue is and why you’ve been muted in the past…
Congrats on that effort.
The irony of the “hidden” comments
Your behavior is toxic to the game and community. Not mine. You report me and I stop playing. That’s revenue lost and queue times I’m not supporting.
We’re better off without the toxicity you rely on to be honest…
If we’re using chat we shouldn’t need labelistic and abusive terms thrown back at us… It’s like you’re a monkey flinging dung.
And who are you kidding, you think you’re the only one who pays for the game? lol, that old argument should be put to rest as there’s nothing like mere blackmail and threats to keep yourself in play…
Join the rest of the forum who blocks him. He’s just a troll. Profile → preferences → users - > ignored users.
I don’t think I’ve seen a thread where he isn’t antagonizing someone. Forum is 1000% better with him blocked.

No, that’s what I’m saying to you. You think getting players deleted from the game is good for the health of the game.
What do you think “toxic” is? It’s a blanket label without even attempting to understand someone’s behavior. You no longer think trash talk is real. You think anything that could potentially offend anybody, whether that person exists to be offended or not, is toxic. It’s completely foolish.
there’s other paypigs
I’m telling you I have seen games die to report systems. To ignore that is folly.
@Sybrite Good to know he’s not the norm. He would be given special posting privileges on other forums.
It’s funny that I haven’t interacted with you, but you spread this like it’s ‘advice’… Be it you may think it’s good advice, but it’s clearly ignorant and echochamber enducing…
This is ironic coming from someone that seeks to get people banned from his safe space.

I’m not the one insulting people because I have nothing more of an argument…
Well, if you’re circumventing the rules and being abusive, then you are going to end up removed anyway…
The fact that you throw out simple abuse for the sake of it compared to discussing things is a tell.
Nonsense… It’s an insult.
Trash talk doesn’t need to be insulting, or derogitory.
The words aren’t toxic, the player using them in the way they are IS toxic.
It’s just straight up truth…
Maybe you were the one that needed to be removed in those ones too, as it’s obvious you aren’t arguing in good faith with your need to make a statement that wasn’t made.
You are insulting me. Being glad of my demise to your fellow reporthappy people is insulting and exclusionary.
Circumventing the rules.
You as a reporter are not the rules.
I have been discussing a lot. Maybe you scrolled by the over 200 comment thread with my walls of text. Saying things like “Congrats on that effort” for getting muted are absolutely inflammatory statements and not in any way to be considered “actual discussion.”
Trash talk doesn’t have to be things that I don’t like.
That’s exactly what trash talk is.
The words aren’t toxic, the player using them in the way they are IS toxic.
This makes no sense. I’m sure it works wonders in your echo chamber though.
Straight up truth.
What kind of truth is that?
Maybe you were the one that needed to be removed in those ones too
Dude, the games DIED. As in player pool dropped off in such a way that matchmaking could not function, that queue times were too long, that support could not answer tickets, that future content patches were canceled and halted, that the e-sports sponsored by the game company were canceled, that the game was sent into maintenance mode. I don’t think that happened just because they lost just me. A player can be muted and penalized by just a handful of people which are the only remaining people playing the game now.
Absolute nonsense…
I’m now not even capable of knowing how your insults make me feel. I suppose you need me to report you and others to report you to trigger an automatic forum ban for you to realize the error of your ways? Maybe gaslight me some more while you can.
You’re the one seeing insults where there are none in the slightest… Are you by your own admission being a ‘snowflake’?
Go ahead, report me… See how far you genuinely get as nothing I’ve said in here is insulting.
I’m trying to illustrate how you have no idea how you’re being insulting. Just because you haven’t broken the tos doesnt mean you aren’t insulting. You’ve been dismissive, projecting, gaslighting, and taking a dump on what was otherwise a pretty good discussion prior to your antics. The fact that you revel in someone getting reported and muted is fundamentally toxic to the game. Just because the ToS does not explicitly state this for you to comply, does not mean your behavior is in any way noble or even appropriate.
I haven’t insulted you as I haven’t thrown any names out, and I haven’t labeled you anything to forgo me making a statement and forming an opinion.
The need for you to point out all these coinwords to make out that I’m bad, shows you can’t actually engage in good faith.
And this is utter hogwash…
I don’t revel in it, as it’s unfortunate to actually need to to keep the chat clean and civil…
The toxicity is the mad player, who is upset at anything and everything so much so they forgo discussion, and rely on cheap insults to make their statements…
If it’s insulting to you that someone points out and clarifies insults, and abuse, then that’s definitely on you.
None of that is insulting… It’s just you not accepting that I too can have a differing opinion…
You’re the one who has been muted, and likely for good reason considering the partisan/political nonsense you threw out before…
You accused me of being toxic. You accused people that disagree with you as forming an echo chamber by muting you despite your whole mission statement being to get people muted and gloat when others get muted as if you’re protecting the integrity of the game when in fact it harms it on multiple fronts. You’ve expressed your commitment to accepting the losses on behalf of the company which is incredibly egotistical.
You accused me of “relying on toxicity” which makes no sense. How would I rely on it? Nevermind the fact that it’s such a non-descript term meant to catchall everything you hate.
How is stating “We’re better off without your toxicity” not reveling? lol
Now you’re saying it’s a necessary evil. Oh yes, that makes you sound more profound.
No, that’s your programmed interpretation. There’s nothing wrong with someone being angry in a combat game. There’s no reason for you to enforce your will on that person outside the bounds of the game. If you are, like with the report system, you’re playing the ToS game. Coveting the ToS game over the actual game is at the detriment to the actual game.
It’s a good thing you’ve been muted because you have wrong think.
That’s toxic. By the way, I’m not being “politically divisive” simply by talking about known, public stances. You just sound upset or wounded by being outed and can’t actually engage with the topic, so you just call me toxic and claim that you’re not labeling me. lol

Yea, no, you genuinely are toxic because you were the one throwing out the political nonsense, with the labels to boot.
And that was merely upon me clarifying the toxicity being in the player, not the game itself for acting on your silliness.
And there’s no auto-forum ban either, it’s all manual revision… Otherwise we’d have people flagging things like mad, more than what they do.
But yes, we will be better off without your ‘brand’ of toxicity, because you’re not making any points here, you’re just trying to make out that even saying you are toxic, as you’ve shown yourself to be, is toxic…
Simple projection.
It’s a bit sad that we do need to have the chat and such communications moderated, but if we’re saying things in chat and being told blankly ‘Shut up’ and ‘No-one cares’, then those who throw that junk out, can be thrown to the wind.
We don’t need that toxic response to people trying to actually communicate at the outset.
We don’t need people to be throwing out abuse in the chat, then for someone to stand up to the nonsense and have everyone decry both people to just shut up…
It’s pretty obvious who indeed is the trouble in this line, and it’s clear that those who ‘revel’ in anything, are those who are playing coy, and making out that those who stand up are the issue…
