I'd like this option simplified though (due to limited time post game and particularly for cross-console since as a xbox player I can't see the latest players we've met from Playstation if we skip the post game too fast) or at least expanded in the game.
Have the option to also add a green circle for the players you particularly liked their play style and maybe a blue one for anyone that werent special in itself but are neither troll.
Just the red (block) and green (green light) would do though. A quick and easy way to identify the good and bad apples in the lobbies.
I don't want to add every single descent players I meet in-game to my friendlist so this could help a lot to avoid the nasty troll and recognise the good one. Even more for cross-consoloe as we can't add each others anyway.
I've posed the idea of adding a silent-voting system where you can give teammates/opponents a vote and when people reach a certain threshold of votes, they get a nice little badge next to their player icon that indicates the community often enjoys playing with/against them.
It would go a long way in fostering a more positive online ecosystem.
It would be a nice feature but there is honestly no way of ensuring integrity.
- The PS3 Demon's Souls gave you the option to "rate" players and hosts would almost always downvote someone who did all the work for them, died (through no fault of their own), and even successfully helped them defeat a boss.
- Metal Gear Online players would boot good players on the opposite team because it gave them a better chance of winning (getting tossed would negate any CR/RP equivelent changes).
- That Deep Down game capcom was supposedly working on 10 years ago (man I loved the trailer, wish it went through), was going to give players a letter ranking that would eventually lead to rank based matching - nooooo bueno.
I can totally see console fanboys downvoting eachother just for the sake of it and team rivals would be a pain. Toronto fan? Eww, downvote. I'm a Montreal fan so I'm gonna get blasted by Boston, etc.
EASHL would be chaos and drop ins would just add fuel to trolling.
Also also, Sony scrapped the accolade feature because nobody was using it. I believe I got around 50 since it's launched and that was probably only due to me spamming it at the end of a round

I guess that's why you don't even give the option for a 'downvote'. Only upvote. It simultaneously encourages people to play nice to obtain the badge while not giving trolls and griefers the benefit of being able to do anything, really.
There would be no real incentive if it was purely aesthetic - Reputation-based matchmaking (that allows us to pick and choose what levels we want to match with), makes the most sense so long as there is a proper way to balance the negatives.
In theory, groups could boost upvotes without any real downside. Sounds so dumb but teams already boost wins and rag so it wouldn't surprise me
I don't think this was meant to be interpreted as a "voting" or "rating" system. It would purely be for you as a player to identify which gamertags you had good interactions with and which ones you want to avoid. No one else would or should be able to see what players you mark as good or bad.
It's a great idea. While my idea really is on a personal perspective, only me myself and I can see when I block a troll or thumbs up a nice player and it add a icon only me can see so it's not being interfered by anyone else point of view of that player.
The block icon already saved me of many games, particularly when the blocked player is the goalie of my team or the opposite team, doesnt matter, I just back out.
I'd like to see one for the poeples you particularly liked to play with too though, the one you connected with on the ice on another level, so you know right away. while it could be useful for any circonstances, it's particularly meant for cross-console as you can't add them to your friendlist.
Love your idea though for the general audiences as long as it is tuned to avoid abuse like TTZ_Dipsy said. You can only vote once ever for ''x'' player, so friends or other trolls can do so much to like or dislike ''x'' player. It would only generate a limited amount of click, after a short time, the community would take over the votes ''chart'', somehow making the fake votes irrelevant after sometimes.
Thanks for your input!

That's a good idea as well. It's like allowing us to 'flag' players on our own - who to avoid and who we've enjoyed playing with in the past. I love it.
