Hoping for moderation on global chat for poe 2

"
I am now remembering why I stopped playing this game to begin with.


So, you never once figured out that clicking the global button in your chat pane disables global? Think the issue might be you. The fact you said that was the dealbreaker for Kids shows how bad parents are at reading basic ESRB ratings. Same person demands the world moderate themselves for their kids.

limit options for others because you are some weak minded individual that cant handle words in an online game, genius
Honestly, I find the moderation not that bad. It doesn't just happen automatically, as I doubt there are GGG employees sitting there reading every global chat channel looking for things to mute.

But my experience is that when I report stuff for being against the code of conduct, (politics, religion, etc.) those who are reported do tend to get muted and the chat returns to some semblance of normalcy. At least on Global 2, and for a little while... I gave up on Global 1 long ago.

in game chart moderation requires a lot of people to do it real time, over multiple chat channels 24/7...it's not an effective use of support time.

As it stands chat is moderated almost entirely by player generated reports, A GGG support staff person logs in then goes through the back log of reports and applies moderation as needed, very very very occasionally they might see something as it happens in game but that is rare.

I'd prefer a way to just hide chat entirely.

I’m sure the chat will be the same, just click off Global if you don’t want to see it and carry on.
I don't wanna be moderated and life advice matters. Also feels like you are on The View.

Global chat 1 for poe 1 pretty much made me just go to hardcore alone. I don't think people are even playing the game, just using it as a chatroom for off topic discussions that are very toxic and rated R.

I don't see how this is not moderated. This should 100% not be allowed. I would not let my kids play this game just on the chat alone. There's people talking about mass shootings and killings kids in school in the global chat. If it's like this for poe 2 you can rest assured A LOT of parents will be pulling their kids from this game.

Please moderate these global chats and maybe clean it up a bit. POE 2 should not be like this.

If people were actually discussing the game I wouldn't be logging out. I'm so disgusted by what I'm witnessing take place in poe global chat that I'm honestly just turning the game off for the night. I'll go back to hardcore tomorrow when my friends log on, but you can't even find anyone to play with. It's just toxic discussions about random nonsense that isn't even related to the game. Kind of puts me off from poe 1. I am now remembering why I stopped playing this game to begin with.



You can literally mute people. Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing. USE THE FUNCTIONS THE GAME PROVIDES.
You can also just change the channel. There are a lot of global channels. But I am with you, the chat is often very crazy.

But I also see times, where people actually help each others. It gots kind of a 50/50 chance when you turn on chat its either quiet with some questions here and there ... or its just wild and you basically turn it off immediately.

There is some moderation on global, but mostly on report base. In my more than 10 years of PoE, I saw maybe 2-3 times an official in the chat. Usually that never happens.

I also like to be in global chat, but often need to disable it because of strange and often very disturbing discussions.

+1 for more moderation

Global chat is, at least to me, one of the worst things in PoE 1. I also have big hopes they do it better with PoE 2.

harden up karen.
Literally the first thing I did within 10 seconds of starting the game is mute global chat. Been great, you should try it.

EDIT: out of sheer curiosity I loaded in and decided to see what was happening in global, and it was some guy asking for help with two handed maces for his build (eg, what sort of stuff should be be looking for) and people trying to help him. Seemed surprisingly wholesome tbh.
