How to deal with toxic players

[WhateverNevermind]

Yesterday i watched a couple players organize a mass report on another player (commander feckles) just because they didnt like him. They repeatedly called for everyone to mass report to get him banned then laughed about him not playing the game anymore.

Captain feckles isnt really funny and his personality is kinda dry but he was playing the role of a doctor who had seen war too much and it had broke him.. he really wasnt doing anything against the code of conduct.. they tried to mass report him then kept team killing the dude until he struck them back then they mass reported for teamkilling.

Also that same group was threatening to team kill players who were trying to retake the bridge without permission, they were trying to control how everyone got to play the game and we ended up getting mass grenaded and had to push anyways btw.. 1 guy tried to grenade back and the ring leader straight up asked him why? "whats your plan next?, then what? then what are you gunna do?.. dont do it again or ill shoot you myself"

♥♥♥♥ was hella annoying and that they would "pull you to the side and talk to you about how youre playing the game" was really cringy and stupid because they were actually serious.

the dev team should really look into having some trusted players mod the game play.

The Captain feckles situation is not fine and it should be reported by the player itself using the game's ticket system.
As for the bridge fight I would say never rebuild a bridge unless you have vehicles to cross it as it will most likely going to make you lose your side of the map.
If they were just teamkilling people without reason that's reportable and the game even auto-bans their weapon usage for 20 mins.
As I can't tell what was the bridge situation what I am seeing is you probably tried to build the bridge back up or you were just throwing yourselves to a meat grinder wasting resources.

well it wasnt me, i was just watching all this happening. The bridge wasnt being rebuilt and the other player was just trying to grenade the wardens who were on our side of the bridge, the wardens eventually got smart and started grenading us from the bridge.

I get trying not to waste shirts and trying to be smart about things, but team killing wastes shirts and the way they were trying to control our players from doing anything with threatening to team kill and mass report was just toxic.

idk if feckles reported or just said fck it.. i just wanted to bring it up on the forums to make it known this is happening

Always keep a record button handy for starters, nothing like some good old fashioned video evidence of people being scum, which makes it easier for people like the devs to deal with them.

And if all else fails, you can destroy what little credibility or reputation they process by posting it on YouTube. Although I wouldn’t recommend this, as it falls into a grey area which can lead to some nasty drama.

If reporting does not work, leave, take a break and let yourself cool off. These types of people are not worth losing sleep over, your psyche will thank you.

Why would a tiny little community that so desperately needs sales to make this a viable game, act so ♥♥♥♥♥♥? This game sounds like it is home to a bunch of basement dwellers.

I clicked on this game because it was on the front page of Steam, now I'll never look at it again.

Just googled "Foxhole sucks", because I have a feeling that it does and found this ...

"I was banned for a month when I "stole" a tank that I spent hours grinding resources to build, field and move to the front line after a "popular" clan member demanded I give it to him.

He and several others gassed me out of it as I was moving it to dead lands. I recorded the entire thing, sent it to the support team and received a ban."

Sounds like the devs are just as ♥♥♥♥♥♥ as the players. What came first, the chicken or the egg? All bad communities in games are the fault of game devs.

Ironic considering you have zero interest in this game, and think people care that you’re not interested lol.

You can do that with literally every game, and it’s a very ignorant way to judge games that you might have enjoyed. Also citation needed for that supposed “quote” from another player, which sounds like a load of bs lmao.

I was really interested in getting this game but these type of posts got me concerned.

You’ll have toxic players in every multiplayer game you come across, and trust me, I have seen much worse communities than Foxhole. In the 117 hours that I’ve played, I can count on 1 hand the amount of players I’ve encountered that have been “toxic”.

I’m not wrong lol, there are much worse gaming communities than this one.

Ah yes, people who teamkill en masse, then mass report the person they killed repeatedly so they get instantly banned and can't even report it. So many toxic players smh
