Disgusting Zone Chat (NAPC)

Radiance

IDK how many other zones this is happening but [snip] trolls have invaded Auridon Zone Chat and it has gotten very disturbing. There's a few people in particular that are saying things I won't repeat and have reported them but something needs to be done.

Never seen anything like this in all my years of playing.

[Edited for Mention of Real World Politics]

idk

I usually have zone turned off because I have better things to do than read what idiot trolls post.

Take SS and report them. With the new code of conduct, I would expect that could possibly cross the line.

ZaroktheImmortal

Yeah, I've seen this a few times as well when I was there recently and the same people I saw doing it were also claiming masks don't work etc, etc.

Crap, I'm sorry to hear that.

Some days I'm ashamed to be American, but I want to assure you that we are not all like that.

I would report any such thing, and will if I see it. So far I've tended to really enjoy PC NA zone chat. Mostly.

This is a problem that already has a solution. Just use the ignore option.

I frequently put people who talk politics on my list from both sides of the political aisle. Because I can promise you there are plenty of t-words from both.

I think people who want to debate politics should really just go frequent a political chat room. There are plenty of those out there. A lot of people play video games to escape things like politics.

Why would t-words make you ashamed to be American?

Trust me, other countries have awful people too. haha

When this happens to me, I tell them that we're in a [snip] zone chat and to take their blasphemous heresies to Stonefalls.

There was a lot of vulgar chat in Clockwork City today. I announced I was going to report the next vulgar person, and they actually stopped.

Sylvermynx

Folks.... ignore and report. Serious....

Very befitting of the zone. Js

Pretty sure some people have run out of Ignore slots. Max is 100. There've been forum posts asking for that limit to be expanded but so far I haven't seen ZOS say anything about that.
100 seems like a lot but clearly it can add up and you have no idea if people have left the game so you don't know when to take them off the list to make room.

But what if I want to be a follower of Uncle Sheo?

LOL, go ahead! I mostly say it because it tends to confuse people enough that it derails the conversation.

mine are used mostly to reduce the spam ("buying rosin for 2k, COD any amount"), these messages are spammed on xbox using mobile phone apps and as annoying as unfiltered spam in email accounts.

I started talking about cake and that anyone who doesn't like cake is a heretic to derail it which worked for awhile till one of them started on it again.

I’ve seen this, too. And, unlike other games, I have never seen a game master in game, nor do the few folks I’ve occasionally reported ever seem to shut up. And it does seem to be worse lately.

Guyle

I've seen ppl go off with some seriously racist, sexist, and all around nasty comments for extended periods of time, reported them, others reported them, and they are still there days, weeks later. Reporting unfortunately doesnt do anything, ZOS is too busy [snip]

I mean that's kind of the whole point of this topic. That real world politics are being put out in the game in zone chat.

Yeah how about doing something about the politics issue in the game??? Editing the forum is not particularly helpful.

zaria

LOL my post was censored.
Guess an focus on driving away customers and the current AoE removal testing was offensive to ZoS
Edit noticed the meme itself has been removed and asked that it was about.
Focus on getting drunk kittens.

Zone or world chat is bad in any mmo. I have seen toxic dumps that where less toxic.

Hapexamendios

I don't enter area chat on audio. If they type something offense, it's screen shot, report and block.

I agree their affiliation should not matter regardless and would not normally comment on Politics. I play ESO to escape this toxicity and my reasoning in this instance was bc the tasteless, vulgar and obscene incitement of extreme violence I witnessed in chat.

The devs job here is to moderate the forums, I don't believe what happens in game is within their control but my hopes in posting here is that they could direct this matter to the appropriate authority.

Yeah, I mean they edited the title post to take out the very mention of the real world politics that the person is complaining about cause mentioning real world politics is against rules...but talking about people going on arguing real world politics is against the rules then and you can't mention what it is because it's real world politics even if you're only mentioning what it is so people know what you're talking about.....seriously ZOS...You need to get your priorities straight.

@Radiance I know, I just think it’s pretty obnoxious to delete a bunch of posts that are just discussing the issue while no one is really doing anything to fix it.

Forum mods are NOT devs or gms they have little control in game usually. A gm or dev will pop in here from time to time. But all in all best you can do is report ppl using the ingame report option.

Please Stop. Harassing the mods will not accomplish anything either other than having the thread closed and the issue forgotten. I think we all know exactly who is the subject of discussion despite having to dance around the name like Voldemort. It will only invoke more of the same trolls when you call their names.

I'm not harassing the mods. Just pointed out the flaw in the logic. Mods or anyone shouldn't be above criticism and if people reporting it in game hasn't had anything done about it I question if anything will. If they close a topic due to being criticized and people pointing out the flaws in their actions then they shouldn't have a job working as a mod. The mods are essentially representatives of ZOS on these forums and they should be able to behave as such to improve the image of them taking the action of silencing any who question them just makes the company look bad. And if that is the action they do indeed take their employers should take a very close look at them and see if they are fit for said job. Point being that it was unnecessary action to take out words of what the person was talking about since it was only in mention of these real world politics being mentioned in the game not to start a debate on said politics.

Thank you. That is what I was trying to say. I’m aware that the forum mods don’t control what happens in game but deleting people’s posts that are simply discussing the issue while the actual issue still persists is ridiculous.

Edit: sorry I messed up your quote somehow.

SickleCider

I've seen some absolutely disgusting things on PS4 NA zone chat too. I don't know how these people are allowed to continue. It's one thing to disagree on economics and stuff, but when it comes to people expressing bigotry, inciting violence, or harassing people about using PPE that shouldn't even be considered a political opinion. That's just vile and harmful and has tangible consequences.
