"/Report" command update?

Reports close to Javaball are telling us that their will be a new update to come for Javaball.
Now it's already been introduced to hockey, and Jouko & Mikko are set to release it here on Javaball.
Here's the proposed update plans which I dont see much change:

The /report command has been improved.

When you see abuse (bad language, own goaling, etc.) use the command to report the happenings to game moderators, for example:

/report StupidX own goaling

Moderators see the report and can then check the situation.

Now the reports are stored in a database for later viewing. Moderators (and game administration) can browse them afterwards if they couldn't handle the report in real time. This will greatly improve our ability to respond to abuse reports.

Along with the reports, a few lines of the reporter's chat log will be stored. Moderators can see
- public messages preceding the /report (including bluea team chat)
- private /msg messages between the player who made the /report and the target
- /team chat from the target, if the reporter and the target belong in the same team

Include the abuser's nickname immediately after the /report command. You must type it exactly right, especially if you receive abusive private (/msg) messages. Otherwise the moderators can't see them.

All I see is "greatly improve our ability to respond to abuse reports".
I'd like to question this idea, to be honest.

Things need to be dealt with immediately, and not a day or 2 later to give the culprit the benefit of satisfaction.

An idiot enters the room and floods the whole room with stupid comments like "NOOBNOOBNOOBNOOBNOOB" there are no moderators in sight, after continious reporting from various players.
I still believe an auto-flood filter should be introduced to this, something like Habbo Hotel it'd save worthless and pointless spamming of rooms and they'd be alot less arguments as people with fast angry fingers would see the auto-flood has intercepted them.

Do you think Javaball should introduce an auto-flood feature? note Grant if you think it's a good or bad idea.
Your comments will be reviewed and could be published as a quote on a future story surrounding this issue.

Has Javaball gone abit out of bounds?

I've been thinking, yeah we've had the game updated onto a better version and hopefully they'll be more gameplay updates to come and who knows? maybe a better website.
But come to think of it, we haven't really seen a change in the way the people act on Javaball, and I am not talking about the funny person cracking jokes (i shall not name any names :D).

Immaturity is starting to grow on Javaball once more again, as soon as we thought it was safe to come out again, but the idiots are back and this time it's a new generation giving the moderators more weight than they can handle.
I personally think the game owners Jouko & Mikko really do need to take time out in trying to make the jobs of a moderator alot easier, then their will be less arguments and hearing the same ole' "Why did I get banned for that long!" "omg that was so unfair, your a racist mod".

Maybe if Jouko & Mikko could install some sort of system for Javaball maybe like some sort of filter?
Something like Habbo has. Spam a room and you will get auto kicked, unacceptable words are censored out.

Now some of the moderators are probably thinking "Well if we cant kick anyone or mute anyone, what can we do?"
Well moderators arn't only on Javaball to kick or mute or ban fellow javaballers, but they're also here to guide the newer players to the game to not making the mistakes we first did when we first joined thousnads of blue moons ago.

What do you think on this idea?

Future upcoming International teams?

Since the slow growth is upon Javaball, I think it's time to take note of the newer nationailities that are joining Javaball.

Romania have most probably got to be the most newest highly developed country to have had members sign up to Javaball.
When you take note of some of their players, they maybe new but they arn't exactly ones to under-estimate. Romania's gypsy army continue to march on.

Where as going into Africa, as far as I know Egypt are the only African country to have members registered to the game.
They arn't exactly active, but fair play get their mates involved and we have another growing continent.

Same goes for South America, we've got a large portion of North Americans ie; the Americans & the Canadians, but it's nice to add abit of "class" to the game and add a Brazilian. "OBC1996" has got to be one of the very first South Americans to of actually joined the game so I will be catching up with him, if I can to watch and talk to him to see if he has as much quaility as the Brazilians have in real life football.

Spotted another nationaility on Soccer.Kiekko? Take a screenshot and note it to Grant on Soccer.

And in other news, Kuoleman Kätyrit are back in action after their first 2 rank games in over a couple of months now.
They faced Team Poland twice first time drawing 2-2, and second time winning 3-2 thanks to a late goal from Pleikkari, Pleikkari scored the first goal of the second match where as Grant nicked a goal aswell.

JBO set for tournament planning

Javaball Online have announced today that they're planning for the future to open tournaments such as leagues and cup competitions for Soccer.Kiekko members.

Competitions such as "JBO League" which was due to be successful, failed after JBO closed for explained reasons, could be revamped to bring an exciting future ahead for Soccer.Kiekko teams.

JBO founder Grant, told us that the ideas are in early stages of development.

"We've come across this idea many of times, even when JBO first opened.
Obviously this time around if we confirm this will happen, we will work to our highest standards to make all competitions and anything else created by JBO 110% successful".

We will bring you more on this story as it reaches us.

A new beginning

It's been well over 8months since a successful start of JBO turned into a big mess leaving JBO no choice to part its contract with Soccer.Kiekko.
Since then Soccer.Kiekko has still been it's usual self, with not much changing.

When JBO first started people had their doubts, and JBO had to do alot to gain peoples attention in which it did.
But after getting almost 1000 views a month, the attention was gone, along with people losing trust with JBO after seeing a vast number of posts which were uncalled for.
Attacks on certain unnamed members obviously ment that JBO was not going to recover from that, and may still not recover now.

After weeks of thought, we at JBO would like to forget about the past, and ask your help to move on to a brighter future, hopefully with your support.
What we're asking you all for is a second chance to prove that without that time of wasteful and immaturity, JBO could of still been a success 1 year on.

The plan is always the same with JBO, post & make viewers happy.
Hold award ceremonies, ie; player of the month & team of the month, re-open the radio station, hold some competitions etc...

JBO would like to apologise straight from the heart of the organization to all those offended by our past attacks & remarks.
We would like to work alongside Soccer.Kiekko and any other participating parties to strengthen the spine in the online game.

Marna & Nevarit fans clash as Marna win 2-0 in JBO League shock victory

Police were called into action after the full time whistle as Marna Snaha caused a shock and beat favourites to win the league Nevarit 2-0.
As match referee Gerrard blew the full time whistle, supporters from both teams broke the barriers onto the pitch and started a mass brawl.
Suomi police report than there have been 12 arrests whist 6 people were injured during the brawls.
JBO League have said that it is a disgrace that the teams can't control their fans in a family event.

Nevarit's hopes of winning the league could be dimmed after this shock 2-0 victory but as we've just passed the half way mark of the season, anything is possible with results like that.
Marna for the title? i certainly hope so.

Javaball Online: Upgrading

I thought i'd just like to remind all of our readers that JBO will be undergoing an update very soon.
The biggest update will obviously be the website, the all new JBO website will be the main website and will include all vital information, from league to radio and other things like competitions, news and media.

JBO Coat Of Arms & Other Information

Well, countries have them... So why shouldn't we?
After valuable time spent designing the coat of arms for JBO, this is the out come. There is not no official meaning for the coat of arms, but well that's that.
You can also see if you look at the top of this page that we have a new banner which also includes the coat of arms.

We'd like to also remind people that JBO will be taking some very large steps forward into making JBO fun for all.
JBO are currently talking with web designers for an all new website which we are hoping will have a .net or .com domain.
The official site will include, JBO League, JBO Radio and alot of other ideas that the committee have been thinking of over the past few weeks.

Therefore, taking big steps forward we must have staff to help us keep stable and so that there wont be a heap of pressure on the few people sorting this site out.
Job Applications will be avaliable in the future, but not yet.
We will keep you all updated with this.

Thank you to all our regular & new JBO readers, we hope you enjoy being part of us.

JBO have decided to take another step forward in becoming big...
