Community Quality Control via Player/GM Feedback

Hey folks, The roll20 community at large would be better served if the website provided some sort of feedback or reputation system for its players that could be visible from an account's profile.  Too many people treat games/campaigns like revolving doors with little concern or commitment to the rest of the roleplaying troupe primarily because of a lack of consequences (typical internet syndrome).  To help counter this, fellow roll20 members with an account of a minimum age and activity should be able to rate fellow members of a game (up to several days after they depart a game).  This would allow the community to police itself passively by providing natural repercussions for poor social behaviors.  This could perhaps be limited in some way similar to the roll20's voting system (except it should refill over time, perhaps so many votes per month based on membership level and account age?). In some way, roll20 desperately needs a means of improving the quality (not just quantity) of its player-stock and party/group functions.  I think this would be the simplest and most effective method.  Of all the unnecessary things that a member's profile tracks (superficial achievements), positive/negative feedback from confirmed co-players should definitely be on there. -Uncle B.

Allowing people to ascribe a rating to other people is not something we really want on Roll20, even though I understand why it would be useful to weed out toxicity in peer-driven games like tabletop. We don't foresee this feature being on our radar for a long time, at least until we can figure out the ethical implications of it. This type of feature can and has been very easily abused before. On toxic users though, that is why our dev and mod team is here. We absolutely want to weed out toxic users and abusive users but rating is not the way to do that. Reporting toxic behavior is. Please report any users that violate our code of conduct and if you don't see a report button on the relevant interaction, please email us at <a href="mailto:team@roll20.net" rel="nofollow">team@roll20.net</a> I hope you understand our firm stance on this. I'll be closing this thread and releasing your votes.
