Our Gaming community's and how to build it and how do we stop abuse

Ragna the Curious

Hi there the good people of Penny Arcade I originally came here to build a player based for Anarchy Reigns, but after encounter some rather rude players it got me thinking are we really still in the age where we tolerate an put up with such behavior. I admit this is no easy task or it be solved but with things such as trolling which we've all done sadly but that problem is easily solved just ignore them I'm talking about people who kick low levels for being new or using the word noob in a derogatory manner or generally mock someone just because of there skill and ruins others fun etc. But how do we truly tackle such behavior because it takes a lot of man hours and money in some cases to have active professional mods and I rarely hear people reporting such things, I honestly not sure what we could do to solve this that why I'm asking for help from what is considered the best community on the web.

thanks for reading this and I'd love to see if this interest you guys.

Raise children to respect fellow living beings and teach them that they ought to be kind, understanding, and accepting to everyone they meet. BOOM problem solved. Also you will potentially get a nicer group of people if your video game is not about beating the everloving shit out of each other. Play a video game about raising foster kittens or serving homeless people at soup kitchens and nobody is going to use the word noob in a derogatory manner.

Just to extrapolate on what TC said, parent involvement in kids playing games is pretty goddamn important. Kids need someone around to teach them how to cope with the frustration or competitiveness that arises when playing games and if left unchecked you get a kid who grows up into a complete asshole.

Mind you this role isn't needed just for video games; anything a kid does should have parent involvement to teach how to manage the emotions and situations that arise. I just stress it though because video games still have a stigma where people don't want to get involved with games even vicariously, which is the actual danger.

I understand if we teach kids better that will help but sometimes adults act likes this and TC I totally get your point about a game that naturally aggressive one would expect it to bring it out of people, but I believe one can be competitive while being well manner with others have a mutual respect for your fellow gamer and over all enjoy the game.
I get that sounds too idealist but no harm in trying.
