Vulgar language

Vulgar language
I think there is a need to "vote down people" for vulgar language(coarse).
I think we should "name and shame" them, on a list of users to have their chat disabled. I think it would be inappropriate to post screen shots, but email them to the developers. These people taint the game, and in our responce, take time the devs can spend on improvements.

RE: Vulgar language
Why not have a chat filter option? Or just an option to block that player preventing you from being matched up with them again?

RE: Vulgar language
The block player option seems great, but filters can be cheated with bad spelling.

RE: Vulgar language
How about add a "mute" feature. That way you could continue playing without having to read anything they type. Also an ignore feature, or block: to prevent future encounters

RE: Vulgar language
I feel the need to ask you, brayton: did you encounter vulgar language or are you just bringing this topic up preemptively?

RE: Vulgar language
I encountered, a player(not me) had been away for a day(or close to) and "Antwon Fluff" had went crazy. I will PM you the screenshot, but it wont serve much of a perpose. I mean at a low level its fine, but to this extent. Its not a big thing really, and people may think low of me.
But really what are the chances he'll do it again.

RE: Vulgar language
I think a mute button would be the easiest and most efficient implementation so everyone can decide for their own.

I agree that extreme abuse should be punished somehow, but it's a complicated decision for the ones responsible where to draw the line and is generally complicated thing to keep track of in online games.

RE: Vulgar language
I think there should be a filter, but then someone brought up the bad spelling issue and I thought otherwise.

But honestly, it depends what the profanity was. If he was directly cussing at someone I think he/she should get punished, but if he said something like, "****, I built the wrong unit" it would be okay with me.

RE: Vulgar language
You could just not read comments in games with them, right?

RE: Vulgar language
Filters can always be worked around. (i.e. F_Ll_C_K Y_O_U) It's easy. Mute/Ignore is probably the best idea.
