SUGGESTION: Boot Icon For Deadbeats (VOTE)

by **MrBenn** on Thu Jul 31, 2008 6:16 am

Concise description:
When a player is 'kicked out for missing too many turns', a boot icon should be displayed next to their name on the list of players.

Specifics:

The boot icon could go in the place where the card icon currently is

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

It would be a visual reminder to all players who deadbeated
Will save trawling through the game log to see which players dropped out when leaving feedback
This might help deter serial deadbeats

Examples:

Option 1 wrote:

Option 2 wrote:

"Boot" ...

... It's a big large boot.

Maybe could we have a pop up window where deadbeats are embosed onto our screens ?

I agree with the icon, maybe not that particular pic, but I think it could work...

OK, so the original boot was a little bit on the large side... I've added a smaller one

My idea is for the player list to look something like this:

The left side is easier to see, in my opinion.

I thought of another possible option:

I'm going to update the first post and put up a poll...

Any comments?

The newest one looks pretty good. Not sure how to get the rest of the community here to view it.

I think the boots should be slightly larger, maybe 25x25 pixels.

it was near that size, but it should be kept the same size as the red square

i agree with the sentiment, and it would be cute to see the boot icon as part of the game...but pretty much the only people that will see it are the people playing in that game...isn't the point that we want to see how many times a person has dead-beated as part of their game stats? that's what i'd like to see

It still isn't so friendly to the user-interface. But I like the idea...especially if added to your profile was "Received the Boot: 'x' times".
