Community Rating
In the past few years, we have received many requests to update and improve the chat moderation tooling.
Today, we are officially launching the Community Rating system to help player communities customize what they see in chat and filter chat messages to their own liking.
The rules of the Community Rating system are as follows:
- Each player's initial Community Rating is 1000.
- When other players report your messages, your Community Rating will be reduced.
- If your Community Rating falls below 600 points, other players will not see your messages in both global and match chats, unless they have specifically enabled the setting that allows them to do so (more below). Playing the game will slowly increase your Community Rating over time. If your Community Rating rises above 600 points, your messages will be visible to all again.
The community rating system is not mandatory.
You can choose to enable “Show messages from players with low Community Ratings” in your individual Settings menu. If you do, you will be able to see everyone’s chat messages, regardless of their Community Rating.
It is worth noting that the Community Rating system is only a tool to help players filter the content they want to see. It is not a judgment of your behavior, or anyone else’s. Over the first few weeks of this new system, we expect players to be curious and play around with this, but we want to both highly discourage abusing the system, as well as emphasize that a lower Community Rating does not indicate bad behavior or character.
We are in the middle of setting up infrastructures to better support the Community Rating system, and we will make an announcement on our Discord server (discord.gg/mechabellum) when that is ready. In the meantime, please ensure that when you are making a report against a player, you are doing so for the right reasons – and not just because you don’t want to see their messages in particular, for that you can just use the block function.
If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to share your feedback, please join the Discord server (discord.gg/mechabellum), where many of our Commanders are stationed and ready to help!
