FOE Feature?

There has been talk today about getting rid of the FOE feature on the site.
I personally would like to see the feature enhanced so that we can split the foes into games/chat
Before creating an official suggestion, I would like to get feedback on what you think.
Is it working?
Are you stopped from joining speed games because of it?
Does the fact that Foeing someone in Global Chat, also foes someone out of your games and effect you ?
Does the fact that Foeing someone from your games also foes them in Global Chat effect you?
Is the Foe feature good for medal hunting?
Do we need it at all?
Interested in feedback.
thanks.

if the foe button were to stay it might work that if somebody foes you and you join a game they are in they get bumped out --- if they really don't want to play with you ... might even be barely tolerable if somebody foes you you would not be able to join games they set up. I don't know how you can justify a system that allows a player to decide weather another player can join a random game after that player has paid to play.
Many times there are 7 or 8 rt games available I wish to join but cannot and end up joining some game just because I am allowed, It amounts to no less than bullying. (Lord Vanion: its a war game, you fight foe's not hide from them) .

I've only rarely used it to keep from having any more games spoiled by the occasional angry little boy. Works great. No more problems when you foe them. Simple, easy... what more do you need? The only reason I can see people wanting to remove/change it is because they act/play so badly that a lot of people foe them. Is that the reason for this effort to remove it?

For me I would like it enhanced. As it stands i have had to clear my Foe list so that I can see all in chat. Same with the other Chat Mods.
(Don't worry, I saved "The List")
Some like the banter in chat, but hate to play with them.
Some hate the chat.. but will meet them on the battlefield anytime.
It needs to be split IMO.

Just a thought.. Does it need to go further still
Games/Chat/Forums ?

I can see the point for not wanting the foe feature.
What is the alternative for making sure you don't have to encounter a member that might ruin your time spent here?
Without the foe feature some members will leave to avoid having to play members they would have just foed if the feature was available.
I never understood foing someone for being bad at the game. I agree those are the type you want to fight.

its a dumb feature, its a war game, you fight your foes, it should be changed to the coward button, if it does stay, the people that use it should only be able to block you in games that they create not everyone's games, and they should not be allowed to drop it when ever they please to join your game and help knock you out as many cheaters do. and another thing that guy Tee Gee that you mention in your post is a cheater and part of a group of bullies that bug people in that world chat and abuse that moderator status, to throw people out of the world chat that are only trying to defend themselves from their bullying, why do I as a paying customer have to put up with them, is there money better than the rest of ours on this site, no one will answer I sent complaints all over here, and nothings being done about them, they even seem to be protected.

Thats all you needed to say Lord Vanion, they are good points. I like the Foe doesnt work unless you create the game, love it
Also the dropping and the reinstating, I don't know how to address that apart from C & A I suppose.
The rest is a different issue not on topic that needs to be raised Via Pm to me. I guarentee that I will reply.

The foe button is a cherished feature that allows one to block communication from worthless trolls and haters. Without it, life on this site would be intolerable. Absolutely opposed to removing or weakening it in any way. Strengthening, maybe.

If the feature was removed it would probably eventually lead to my departure.
There are specific people i want nothing to do with on this site, and that includes their hot spewed garbage.
I also do not want to encounter them in game.
If it's a person foul enough they are on foe then I don't need it seperated into catagories because they belong in all of them.

lol. Trying to effect any sort of change via the Suggestions forum is pointless enough as it is. Add in the fact that IcePack the Invader is threatening to whip away the bedrock of this website should you get your way and I'd say this idea is dead in the womb.
If you actually want to get the foe feature changed then you'll need to use whatever super secret backdoor being a member of the CC team gives you. Anything else is just a waste of your time.

sure, i'd be for splitting it, as long as you could still do both to the same person if need be.(like that abusive mod, TeeGee...

It would be good to split it, although I'm pretty sure there's been at least one thread in Suggestions proposing exactly that and it turned into the same fossilized old carcass that every Suggestions thread turns into.

I didn't threaten anything. I said it would "probably eventually lead to my departure". Thats not threatening to leave if its implimented. Its the honest truth if I had to read some peoples garbage all day it would likely expedite my departure because being here would no longer be fun.

I can't see getting rid of it altogether as a viable solution. imo, splitting it is what should've been done when it was recently lumped in to include GC. now, we have to do this all over again.

The foe button not only is disrespectful to the person foed but the entire cc rt community. Games sit forever and at times are abandoned because one of the joined player has a large foe list so others can't join - it punishes everyone.
The only serious enough reason to foe somebody is because they foed you. I pay for the service and letting a random player decide weather I receive that service or not based on their emotional state at the time is not only unfair and unjust but quite possibly illegal. Let them grow a set like riskllama likes to say.

Foe button not only degrades the joining/start-up process, it also degrades much of the gameplay as well. I find myself joining more game than I can easily handle as the only recourse at justice against foers thereby lowering the level of play in all the games and lessening the play experience not only for myself a paying customer but the other players in those games as well.

There are 3,866 waiting games on the site. I find it very difficult to believe that you can't find a game in which nobody has you foed.
As an alternative, you can play exclusively tournament games. Tournament invites ignore the foe function.

I'm talking about RT games - And the suggestion that I be happy with tournament invites only and not being allowed to make use of the RT function after paying for it is ludicrous and demeaning.That is the exact form of bullying that the foe button reinforces and promotes - What am I paying for if I can't play RT games?
