Some of what comes out of this channel is quality, but when it is used by trolls to spam the N-bomb or to tell teammates to kill each other because the server's going down, it harms the integrity of the game experience.

The worst part is, in the former case of the spammer, everyone online in my outfit /reported him. A week later he, the same person, not an alt, was still around doing the same thing.

The bar really needs to be set higher to access this channel. Thoughts?

A long time ago we'd hear things about a mission system. The mission system would automatically generate things to do to direct people to complete useful objectives.

Part and parcel to the mission system was the commander system, where every person would get a vote (or votes) to put towards electing a factional commander. It worked like following a person on twitter, that person would have access to creating their own missions and access to the higher level command systems.

But there's been nothing said about these comments recently (as far as I know, I stopped following PS2 twitter personalities a while ago).

Yea... the elusive mission system that they talked about a year ago. Would be nice if they actually started to work on it.

These things are a double-edged sword. It's great if it isn't abused, but naive to think it won't be abused, because it will.

I honestly wish I can just turn it off.

Good news is, everyone can see it. And by that, I mean Mods too.
