Getting banned in videogames for using the chat or being hateful?

[SorenVC]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1og6ynh/ea_suspension_no_game_updated_post_with_proof/

How do many people on reddit and in their silly little LGBTQ admin run discord servers support this nonsense. Now we have Battlefield 6 and the ban hammers are all over the place. Just google "Battlefield 6 banned reddit" and you'll see why.

But even older games like BattleBit Remastered banned many players for just blasting music in the local voice chat even though everyone enjoyed it. I saw a reddit post someone on Battlefield 6 got perm-banned for saying: "my team is restarted". And his username was Obama.

Now if ya ask me every form of text on screen falls under the line of free speech. I don't care if you're Hasan promoting terrorism or a Nazi. All this hate speech nonsense that some weak people invented just gets you banned far too easily. It's a loophole that can get anyone banned.

And if you join a gaming discord server nowadays, don't you see how many weird people are the admins there. Now I got banned twice on twitch for making a joke but I don't use twitch anymore, I use YouTube where I never got banned yet.

Back in CoD MW2 noone got banned for using the voice chat or typing text. Now people get banned for saying "my team is bad". Isn't this concerning? Why would I wanna spend over 500 or 1000 or infinite hours in Battlefield 6 if I can easily get a perma ban for typing a wrong word in the chat? BF6 has infinite ranks so you can play it forever. But what's the point if after 1200 hours I get banned for getting angry at my team one time and typing in "my team is restarted".

Today I disabled the chat in the settings completely in BF6 so I don't get banned but I still find it concerning that the devs even put in a chat room and you get perm banned for typing in GGEZ or my team is bad. I paid 100€ for the phantom edition and the game is actually good. It's the only online fps since a decade I want to play and enjoy. But again this chatroom censorship banhammer stuff is getting annoying.

Why do people even get offended being harassed or called slurs in a videogame, when the offender doesn't know your real name, and can't even see your face in real life. What's there to be offended by? They only know your gamertag. So if I call myself Trump Shrimp Tacos and go to play a game of Conquest in Battlefield 6 and someone in my team says my team is restarted or some enemy calls me gay and the nword, should this guy really get banned? No, he shouldn't cause that is freedom of speech.

I played cod mw2 when I was like 14 and adults were doing all sorts in the voice chat and even 10 year olds were using voice chat and being bullied, but everyone understood it was just for fun and just a joke. Noone got banned at least not that I know of. But now you just have to type in "Battlefield 6 banned reddit" and see the ridiculous text people got perm-banned for. A game they paid 70€ for and got perm-banned for typing harmless text that harms noone. How in the WORLD can anyone support these bans? If it was a free2play game, ok, you do you, but a 70€ game with easy bans like this? All they had to do was perma mute him in the chat.

I hate how you have to 2nd guess yourself and rethink three times over before you type something in the chat in modern games. The fear of the ban is just too strong for people supporting this nonsense. I guess games like Hearthstone with no form of communication figured it out and eliminated this loophole.

I love playing kill simulators (battlefield games) but not being allowed to swear.

its just a reflection of modern day society

people are fucking pussies and cant handle words

id love to see these clowns playing competitive video games online in the early 2000s.

[arvidez]

they must silence all those who would silence them. i wonder what old discarded thing will be the new cool thing.

[shovelquest]

God I hope i live to see 2050.

[Ekco]

people did it to themsleves by supporting these companies going back to all the on disk dlc, preorders and the games being not even something you actually own just a service you buy, a temporary lisence to run completely at the mercy of said company.

getting banned for gamer words and being forced to buy another 70 software license is just another humiliation kink in a long line of them that the playerbase is obviously into.

It seems like gaming is a preview of what real life will be like 10 years later.

Like all of the gaming trends kind of led what would become social trends IMO. I bet i could argue about it if i thought about it longer than 40 seconds.

That's only part of the truth. I understand and agree with you to a certain extent in that yeah there's ignorance and inexperience when it comes to mastery of using words how I imagine you mean when it comes to 'modern day society' (as I take your meaning here).

On the other hand when someone uses words regularly to dehumanize others, and especially when the same people then get aggressive consistently and even violent when other people challenge them, it's then just as farsical when the individuals appeal to equanimity and fairness after decisively not giving a fuck until they themselves are shut up.

[SorenVC]

Here's what you get banned for when typing in the chat in Battlefield 6.

They need to stop using this auto-detect text ban ai and use real people to moderate whatever the hell they want to ban people for writing text in the chat or just never ban anyone for using the chat. Here in Project 1999 we all know the highest rank for your profile is being banned but other than that it's still cool to be able to make schizoposts like I do.

Thanks that this forum allows my opinions and doesn't get me banned, but even if I got banned HERE it would be the highest honor, because I don't even really play this game because I realized I'm too dumb and retarded to understand how to be good at this game. I have a level FOUR Iksar Necromancer and I doubt I'll ever get a level increase.

But who's reckoning? Dig me shovel?

[SorenVC]

I just don't understand how using racial slurs or even hate speech should be ban worthy in a game I mean they do not know my real life name (even though I wrote it down on my Steam Profile :D) and they don't know what I look like in real life (no pictures of me online) so how can I ever be offended by text on a screen? I don't get it.

Y'all can insult me here and harass me, it would be funny as hell to me. I don't get the mentality of reddit or discord people promoting this "talk shit ingame chat and get perma banned" thing when it literally harms noone. Why does using the chat get people banned in videogames when they clearly done no harm at all?

I can understand it if it's your facebook profile or a post you made on facebook with your profile picture and your real name, I guess that is "cyber bullying" but in a goddamn videogame where you can call yourself "Trump General Shrimp Tacos" or something like that, what is there to be offended by or be scared of? How come text from A-Z on a screen which is generated by your literal brain is worthy of any temporary or permanent ban? This just goes to show how much censorship we have allowed and how little freedom of speech is possible now. I mean the TEXT CHAT in game literally DISAPPEARS AFTER A FEW SECONDS.

It is not permanent text on a facebook website or a silly P99 forum, but it is temporary text on a screen that disappears after 5-10 seconds and noone will ever remember it anymore. How in the world can anyone support a ban for temporary text on a screen while you're killing an army of soldiers in the game? I don't get it but those reddit and discord shills want to have a peaceful war game.

[SorenVC]

And I don't even use racial slurs or mean words. I just think that nothing you can type in the chat ingame should be ban worthy. It's literally temporary in the chat, the text disappears forever after the game is finished. But the perma ban stays forever. Back in CoD MW2 noone got banned for anything. No typing in the chat and no voice chat "restrictions". Now this whole thing is blowing over. Just stop making triple A games with a chat if that gets you banned so easily.

whats he yelling about, his data privacy rights?

Abe Simpson was yelling at cloud based surveillance? No, I don't think it's that. That image is huge though I apologize for putting shovelquest on a billboard.

Separating the censorship from the data-retention/privacy issue I believe EA is almost definitely logging those chats for future profit.

Good to see you Soren, I was wondering yesterday whether you were okay as you’d been silent for some time.

I know from your post history you won’t take offence at being told you’re such a bitch ass Jerry wanna be fash spergtard crybaby that won’t dare to use slurs cos why would anyone be offended by slurs as slurs are your right for speaking freely against the government. That doesn’t even play p99 and just whinges up the forums.

Welcome back(!)

To be honest, I was deciding I would never play Project 1999 anymore and my level 4 Iksar Necro would never reach level 60 cause it takes too much effort and I don't have the braincells and I would get banned anyway before reaching that number so I deleted this forum from my google chrome bookmarks.

But I missed you guys and I came back to post my shit in this forum because for some reason I'm still not banned here yet and that's why I keep coming back to share my "opinions". I am actually a flat earther and 911 truther or what the hell it's called, and I don't believe in climate change and Hitler was just following orders from the British.

Hitler got all his money from the Bank of England from start to finish, and the 2 planes that made 3 towers collapse into themselves were edited in using video compositing a renowned Hollywood technique. You have a video of a plane flying normally in the sky and you have a separate video of a skyscraper being blown up with thermite that was installed in 3 months long lasting elevator repairs before 911 happened, you "COMBINE" them and this is what you get along with the media monopoly the elites or the lizard peepul seem to be having, I mean noone disagrees on the latter part.

But I already said that on some older post and I'm still able to post here. Earth is flat okay. Go to the subreddit called "globeskepticism" on reddit and you will see the truth that earth really is flat and not a ridiculous sphere floating in a vacuum where as we somehow got air to breathe even though we're floating how many miles? fast in a vacuum. It's total heavy indoctrination. I can see that 90% people never bother with conspiracy theories, they just don't care. They only care about loopholes how to make their career better and how to make more money and get more status.

I stopped playing Helldiver's 2 when I found out that Sony planned on recording my private conversations with my friend group to make sure we didn't have views or language they didn't like. That was insane to me. And no, no one in my friend group really says anything that crazy, it was just the principle.

[Ekco]

that's exactly what a dissident would claim wouldn't they

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmine

A popular and well-known food coloring in the Gilded Age.

United States

In January 2006, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) evaluated a proposal that would require food products containing carmine to list it by name on the ingredient label. It was also announced that the FDA will separately review the ingredient labels of prescription drugs that contain colorings derived from carmine. A request from the Center for Science in the Public Interest urging the FDA to require ingredient labels to explicitly state that carmine is derived from insects and may cause severe allergic reactions and anaphylactic shock was declined by the FDA. Food industries were aggressively opposed to the idea of writing "insect-based" on the label, and the FDA agreed to allow "cochineal extract" or "carmine".

The prophet Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka once said: "The internet makes you stupid."

Upon further review it turns out it's mostly reddit and tik tok. The rest is fine (this place for instance).

[Ekco]

"The internet tribes theory, also known as digital or electronic tribes, refers to the formation of online communities around shared interests, beliefs, or characteristics"

"but also the potential negative consequences, such as polarization and echo chambers."

there's a sweet spot with self segregation, rules but not censorship, community size, community self policing to keep post quality high and other factors that can make a digital spot pretty good where other places have turned to complete shit

it's like you favorite "hidden" bar or resturant also though and just like a popular food critic too much publicity can ruin it

Makes sense but also people often don't realize they're self segregating, cause it sounds bad, so they probably wouldn't do it if they realized what they were doing. They'd never characterize it that way. It's like an organic trap the internet sets and people fall into it like the matrix.

I've said before and I'll say again, you should proactively seek out content that you disagree with. Spend maybe 20% of your time checking in with whatever side of whatever thing you already agree with- basically just intellectual housekeeping. Spend the other 80% seeking out the other side. If you're confident in what you believe it shouldn't be a scary proposition. I've refined my thinking and learned so much by doing this.
