Lion.Kanzen Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Just now, Yekaterina said: Actually I think this is a good idea. You can monitor chats in the lobby through the Discord community server. Someone suggested to me that I should become a moderator today, and I think I can make some time each day, as I sit next to my PC for the majority of the time. I should be able to hear pings, if not, I can still see any discord chat or incoming emails. @Lion.Kanzen how do I become moderator? You must talk with correct people...you know.

I keep saying that cultural values are formed in the family. Sometimes I play Among Us in Spanish and the talks are sometimes pornographic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) (Mis)using games to (try) compensate or live agression, is not nice and even more a problem with online games - a reason why I do not (yet) allow our kids to play online. I am very happy being able to play 0 A.D. with them offline (well, in our private LAN), but it makes me sad that developers might feel pushed to invest their free time for things like filters to ban people with bad behaviours. On the other hand, I agree that there is a red line and trespassing cannot be tolerated. Are there any curated lists of names in the Internet, comparable to blacklists for adblocking and such? Maybe that could help. Just my 2 Ct about this (from my perspective) a bit difficult topic. You all stay well.

I know players who have 5 or more accounts... although most of them are quite well mannered. This makes blacklist obsolete, instead, we might need to switch to a whitelist system for your children. The whitelist should contain a list of trustworthy people and their ip address so that you can play with them without worrying about profanity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceres Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Oh, I didn't think to ask for any adjustments just for my (private) case, but I agree that this could indeed be helpful for many players, including grownups. Are players' IPs disclosed to other players or only known to some central server? Edited July 2, 2021 by Ceres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 @Ceres would you like to test direct connection via IP address with me? I was wondering whether that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also quite annoyed by profanity in the lobby, as you cannot control who joins it. I am a few hours away from becoming 18 and I can quite safely say that people of all age groups are fed up with smurfs, trolls and profanity. Ban won't work, we can only resort to whitelisting.

Ceres Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Erm, let me think. I have an IP that never (or let's say very rarely) changes, and I want to keep it (very) private. Let's discuss via PM, if you don't mind. However, I call it a day for today - and wish you and everybody a nice remainder of the day/evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Exactly this would be also my wish. For the time being, I will not allow our kids to play online. Nevertheless, 0 A.D. is a great game and its developers, contributors, supporters and the community really great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceres Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Well, I like @Yekaterina's idea of a white list system. To my understanding, nobody would then have to worry about how different cultures - not to say different people - define "profanity", e.g. politically incorrect, vulgar, offensive, sexually harrassing, (extreme)nationalist content, content of hate, etc., all reflected in different degrees by different people at different ages with different background. If this is not the right place to further discuss it, we can open a new thread, e.g. 'Lobby white list' or similar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I consider myself to be pretty civilized, but I'm also able to use language that would make sailors and prostitutes blush. In fact my stupid pixel people are regularly the recipients of the worst insults I ever utter. I guess 'oh darn it' would be acceptable while the somewhat stronger 'oh da_n it' would not. (The forum's nanny-bot actually changes the m to an r, as I've found out...) So ~we would still have to draw lines, define what profanity is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceres Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 Top play it safe, I would put only those IPs on our white list that belong to school mates. Not that it makes a difference about the underlying problem. And IPs change... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
