Does the .rpt do anything with alerting a mod to something going on, or is it just an accumulation that auto mutes someone?
it does exactly that: accumulation that auto mutes someone -the parameters are clearly shown in the arena settings.
mods are their own, literal selves - I've never gotten a "calm down, please" during any of the interactions that resulted in a mute (mostly in the mornings); nor does the .rpt function take into account the context or the give and take.
So, 5 people can insult me *and* then mash that .rpt button when I toss it back their way. I can only hit the .rpt against those 5 people individually and that does absolutely nothing to them since it's only 1 .rpt against their record.
Morning numbers, amirite?
Considering that the mechanism for disputing a .rpt mute is not very efficient - maybe AI can address this and take more into account the context.
Right now the bottom line for .rpt seems to be: we are all responsible for what we say
However, that mechanism is... subject to misuse.
My sig lines are a direct response to my in-game and forum interactions since my re-subscription in 2021.

well, not the first, that's been there forever.
