Disrespect Rule

Very agreeable, I often like to be sarcastic and say stuff to my friends and I can picture this happening to someone then some random kid trying to apply for staff would just chat report you and you would just get muted for something you had no clue you were doing. This has happened to a lot of my friends and is a reason why we use private messages or use voice chats to talk.

 

Thanks for bringing this up mmmmm

Personally I agree that the topic of 'disrespect' is subjective as the only person who should be able to report is the one being disrespected. Countless time me and my friends have been punished for disrespect when we were joking around with each other. I completely understand if someone is disrespecting someone on purpose and the person chooses to report. Although I think it's unfair for a staff to see this in a random persons chat report or with their own eyes. A way to fix this is maybe getting the staff to ask the person being 'Disrespected' to confirm whether they are offended and want to take action. Having some random wanna be staff hero chat-reporting a couple friends joking around using 'disrespect' shouldn't have the power to choose whether the person is punished/reported

Example

Dombal: "Hey Bob stfu you're fat haha"

Now if the user Bob is disrespected they should be the only one entitled to report Dombal as he is 'disrespecting' Bob and no one else
If a random person name crazykyle554 were to report this it would be unfair on both Dombal and Bob as Bob should be deciding whether he chooses as he is the one being abused.

That's basically my thought on it and yeah I think the disrespect rule is a little dumb and needs some looking into

 

Hey, as @EssentialsPlus was saying I would also like to be able to joke around with my friends in chat without getting muted. However I believe it would make a lot of work for staff members as they would have to find out if the person chareported was joking or not. I say they keep the rules as they are right now and if you want to ''joke'' with your friends you message them or use party chat.

That's why they should only punish the user if the player on the receiving end was the one who reported the user for disrespect.

 

Love seeing this in General Discussions. I do feel like most players that are muted for player disrespect, didn't mean any harm or just said it in a jokingly manner. But, I feel that with the many age ranges that play on Mcc us as players also have to be cautious since we don't really know how they can take what we say, and how the staff see it.
