I'm new, been playing for a few days and really enjoy it. I'd like to suggest that a simpler solution to abuse might be to allow users the option to "ignore" all chat, meaning it doesn't show in their browsers. Or, in lieu of this, to ignore a particular user so that you don't receive his chat and private messages. Is this possible? I haven't checked out all the opotions on this site yet. I'm thinking of other game sites like Yahoo games which have both these options. I always turn off all chat and messaging on other sites. It really isn't necessary and can detract from the fun of the game. It would save all the hassle of (1) decent users having to put up with abusers and (2) the whole reporting system. And those who want chat can still use it.
