An Agent-based Approach for Preventing and Defusing Toxic Behaviors on Team Competition Games
Abstract
Preventing toxic behaviors and defusing their negative effects in a team competition game is an important issue since it could cause serious problems as well as giving players poor experiences in their gaming. In this paper, we propose an approach to defuse the effects of toxic behaviors in a team-competition game and an agent-based framework to implement a mechanism which effectively defuses negative impacts of them as well as helping users to notice the meaning and impacts of certain toxic actions and avoid further chain-reactions from them.
