Is there some way you can keep track of the total number of ".ignore xxxxxxx"'s that have been issued against a particular
player?    That would be a good way for the entire community to have say into a player's status as "jerk".

It'd be neat to change that player's red icon to blue also, so all the enemy pilots can see who the jerks with real soft airplanes are....

Muhahahahaha....

Here is one implementation suggestion:

Change the icon of the "jerk" to that of a perk plane.  The enemy will be drawn to the offender like moths to a lightbulb.

Just make the 'jerk's name show up instead of plane type icon. The AH community will take care of the punishment. Heh.

Nope.  I saw a series of posts in a topic in the "aircraft" forum that preceded his making this one.  Possibly add in the multiple complaints about their lack of giving us news on AH-II and .....

Make the jerks tow banners that say"I'm a jerkoff', the bigger the jerk, the bigger the banner :)

There is an easy way to acomplish this without any complicated monitoring system. Allow players to "ding" others at a specific perk point cost. As an example lets say lodging a "complaint" cost 10 perk points and a single player could only lodge 1 complaint per tour against any one player. If the number of complaints exceeds some minimum value (10 for ex)  then you implement whatever the designated penalty is:)....would take a bit of tweaking but the arena would police itself to a degree.

If someone really is a BIG jerk by offending other players or something and he is on my team I have on a couple of occations been known to set some time aside to follow that player around and given check 6 calls until he gets the message. :D
