Hello Weevils!
What was the report button and ignore list that has been on the game for the past few years actually for? Well, you are finally going to know with this post that Bin Weevils posted on their blog. It is great to promote anti-bullying but why would you remind them of something they should already know?
The thing also about this is that it says 'Your reports help us keep the binscape safe from bad behaviour' and also says 'Any weevil found bullying someone else may find their account gets banned'. I'm calling bull on this because the amount of times I've reported in this current bin has either just given them a chat ban (that just results in that weevil putting on a sad face making others feel sorry for them for something that was their fault) and either just does nothing at all. I generally like to go on Bin Weevils late at night and the amount of weevils at Flum's Fountain saying 'duck' and 'beach' which are representing swear words never get dealt with. You'll also get weevils using special moves to represent inappropriate looking actions and they don't get any warning what so ever. Players from the US are mainly on at that time so any normal bullying going on will just not be looked at and Bin Weevils don't even have enough moderators to moderate every single report coming in and most of them are just false.
The game also allows you to swear as all you get is an automated message every time you say something foul. Others can't see the swear speech bubble but if someone who likes to use loads of foul language could likely be someone who is wanting to bully people. Ages ago you were kicked out for 10 minutes if you swore but now it is just a robot popping up telling you it is wrong.
The punishment system itself is messed up as Bin Weevils seem to be more interested in exploiters that are only changing their colour coding or only going out of bounds because those weevils just have nothing to do on a the game anymore. The chat ban still allows you to play the game and it still allows you to perform inappropriate special move actions. Most of those chat suspensions mainly consist of saying things that aren't even bad such as 'I am the walrus'. They seem to be focussing on how weevils lie about what creature they are rather than find the real bad words.
So overall, they can't say that they're reporting system and what not is excellent because they themselves don't use it properly.
