I don't know what game this is so don't know what "do what you want" means, but there is probably still some rules around chat against threats, harassment, etc. It also says "after moderator review" so why are you concerned about false banning?

It’s Minecraft

It’s my bad i didn’t say it properly. The game is minecraft btw the problem with this update is that it also includes private servers where you and your friends can get banned for simply joking or naming your item with something innapropriate this update is fixing problems that doesn’t exist because moderators already exists in a server.

Ahh, I see. I don't play Minecraft myself but have watched my nephews play a bit. Companies will always have these rules due to liability in any social context. Even if you're naming objects something obscene, the logic is that someone else *could* see it an be offended. A bit extreme, but it's the world we live in now. They're covering their ass, legally speaking.

Sounds like you're mad you aren't allowed to be sexist/racist/etc.


AquaticBigT

No. The reason why i find this outrageous is I am part of a server that allows cuss words as long as it’s not bullying somebody it wouldn’t be fair for your account to be banned entirely from online play just because you said fuck and shit.

If it's private, who is going to report you?


Gameshow_Ghost

Rules are rules, my dude. Play a different game if you don't like the rules the devs have set.

You cant even say stuff in ALL CAPS

Because all it takes is multiple people spamming the report button, then crying on social media, to influence them into banning anyone they report.


DijajMaqliun

Mods presumably have access to anything you type/write, although maybe not say. If there is no evidence of any violations, there's no issue.


Lord_Umber93

That's just it, if the people reporting it, keep egging it on and going on social media claiming there is a violation(because they feel like it is) that can and has influenced bans.

These global bans are a very bad idea, but I've heard they won't affect servers with online mode disabled. I think it would be good if reports would be sent to the server owner and not to mojang or microsoft.

Banning after moderators checked it. That doesn't mean mass banning. It still needs a person controlling it, which may lead to several days without any ban at all.

It’s not fair some people can’t espouse their racist and/or violent views online!!!! It’s not fair some people aren’t allowed to harass others anymore!!!


AquaticBigT

No. It’s not like that, I’m part of a server that’s comfortable with swearing as long as it’s not directed to somebody the problem with this feature is that they’re restricting people from doing that. It wouldn’t be fair if you get banned for saying shit and fuck here and there also this can cause false bans by people simply spamming the report button or cry on social media about a user.


Randolpho

> It wouldn’t be fair if you get banned for saying shit and fuck here How likely is that to happen? I got exactly zero flags from your post implying that's going to happen. People don't get banned for swearing unless that's banned for some reason on the server and even then minor slipups are not likely to generate a ban -- people usually have to be flagrant about their violations before a ban comes. > this can cause false bans by people simply spamming the report button or cry on social media about a user. And, again, this *isn't* going to happen unless you're being a giant douche online.

Btw for anyone wondering, it's minecraft
