Requesting Chat Ban

Communications Center General Discussion
1

I was lurking in Rookie Chat earlier today, when a player said, they were not “new” and asked the ISD to chat ban them. The ISD told them they don’t or can’t ban on request. Other users chimed in telling them, they must wait 30 days and then Rookie Chat won’t automatically open. Others stated it was impossible, the chat would continue to open for 30 days, and the banned player would not be able to post in chat.

It might be a good idea to force the first character into Rookie Chat and mark the other two as complete? Not sure how difficult that would be to engineer the boolean variable into the current database. However I never saw much wrong being stuck with the Rookie chat for 30 days on all of my characters.

I don’t know why they insisted on getting banned. There is a simple two click process to close the tab for the remainder of the session. Switching to local or corp channel would hide the chat. Seems very extreme to be begging the ISD to get banned to turn the chat off.

There are much, much easier ways of getting permanently banned. You don’t even have to ask…

Because it is annoying to have to do that every day you log in. It also jumps into focus when you log in, and does not stay hidden after a login when you minimized it in the last session.

Isd has to get permission before they can do any kind of bans from chats etc. Thats why they cant just banhammer someone.
