[@jukesdtj656]

This doesn't need to exist. Multiplayer is run entirely by the community and big servers have been refining their systems for literally years. They don't need Microsoft to step in and provide a way for people who don't deserve power to have it over others via the report system. Admins, Moderators, and Helpers do their jobs already. The possibility of permanent or even temporary bans by the whims of other people is ludicrous. The people running their servers should be allowed to be the ones running their servers and not Microsoft.

One of the problems I have with this feature is that if you break the rules on a server with signed messages on, you get banned from ALL servers, also the ones that have it off. On top of this, only the newer versions support this and major minecraft servers support cross version so they are forced to disable signed messages. This feature will only work on a select few servers, it's basically just microsoft virtue signalling to worried parents. EDIT: I think a better solution is to add verified servers (whatever they decide that that means) and that parents can decide of their children are allowed to play on "unverified" servers.

Incorrect assumption. Correction; Mojang is. Mojang is the main source of revenue, without which the rest of the community would suffer. While the community IS a (singular), yet rather important pillar for Minecraft, the actual hard-work should be attributed to Mojang, since said company is the only one which both advertises, and regularly updates the game. Think of Minecraft as a whole (Mojang, Microsoft, Community, Modders, Etc) as an ecosystem or a tulip (it makes this easier to understand). Mojangs' work attracts new players through advertisement and yearly updates, which give a steady influx of free revenue for Modmakers, while renewing interest, which allows Content creators to get more content for their videos. Mojang is the Tulip, the new updates and Ads are the flower, with Content creators being the pollinators. If there is no Mojang, there are no new updates, which means no advertisement, which means no Content creators, which in turn starves Modmakers, and thus reduces interest. This is a negative feedback loop that slowly kills interest in the game. While Modmakers may subsist upon a dwindling population of consumers, they won't manage to do it for long, and thus will eventually die out. Plus, Modmakers are incompetent at filling in the shoes of the company that was in charge. Modmakers are not good at advertising, nor bugfixing, nor resource management. Any mod that dares to even attempt to fill in Mojangs long shadow, will be utterly crushed by the sheer responsibility needed. It's a balancing act that should never be thrown off-course.

Moderators are people and they get tired, they are not perfect and under a high pressure. If someone going to report message "lets blow up a ", most likely Moderators are going to use default action.

Look those 4 pixels are his D (literally the name gets this deleted I’m guessing) Extreme violence or gore: hey guys I made this realistic pixel art of a creeper out of dry cement let’s blow it up and watch the insides fly everywhere Drugs or alcohol: Finally I was able to mix the right ingredients to make this SPEED 2 now I just need to brew up some Nausea to put on my arrow tips (isn’t a beer mug actually In the experimental version or am I thinking of terraria) SO DUMB IVE BEEN PLAYING MINECRAFT SINCE I WAS 11 AND THERES BEEN MODERATORS ON EVERY SERVER UNLESS I SPECIFICALLY WENT TO ONE THAT DIDN’T OR DIDN’T CARE *BECAUSE ITS A PIXEL GAME* The golden age of the internet is truly over Before i could go anywhere on any game any website and people would be free to do whatever or say whatever or joke about whatever or anything That’s what made it amazing because nobody had to be real but now everywhere and everything expects you to take things on the internet as serious as real life it’s the dumbest shit ever

Microsoft's classic EEE strategy - Extend, Embrace, Extinguish. It'll soon be time for an open-source MC fork, maybe hopefully with a parallelized server and regular numeric item IDs instead of item names so we can get back the old server performance!
