Well under EU GDPR at least that's not valid. You can't force people to agree to sharing their data by saying they can't use your service otherwise. In this case the terms of service have no legal weight, and in fact by collecting your data, I believe they are breaking the law. The problem is that EU courts seem incapable of actually enforcing these rules.

@@HighLordBaron Just imagine it, I was the Top "Thaumcraft" user in a Modded Server and someone unleashs a everspreading plague at spawn outskirts and nuked spawn. I join the day of and died 30 times to put on Quantum Boots to help clean up the mess AND since it using something from a mod not alot use... they blame me for it? Left that instant.

i heard someone on bedrock got account suspended when playing on his mothers realm for saying her name Nigel 💀

[@EE-ed6fz]

The fact that they consider banning an innocent player a "false positive" tells you everything you need to know

[@a_coloradan8689]

Yep.. its the sad truth

[@i30]

Apparently guilty until proven innocent has become a trend or something

[@helio3928]

@@i30 worse than that, actually. guilty until proven guilty, because there's no appeal process.

[@Subject_Keter]

Of course, they are commies! You need to prove the burden of Innocent while having no way to defend yourself... simple to their "elevated, big brain" eyes.. hard for actual sane people.

Skype used to have call centers to dispute conflicts between the users and the product. After bought by Microsoft, they removed the call centers and replaced it with automated voice actors. Now even if there is an overcharge or a bug in Skype that wiped my credit, there is nowhere to appeal to.

[@rubikfan1]

There is a simple fix. Instead of sending the report to microsoft. The report should go the server host. So they can apply there own server rules. It whould make anargie better.

[@alex2005z]

The server host wont care

[@callsai]

@@alex2005z says who?

@@alex2005z if they dont care than that must be because it doesnt break server rules, so if you dont like it you can quit. Microsoft should not be controlling the rules on private servers

[@chickenbird6661]

That's actually a much better idea, It beats me that Microsoft wouldn't take that approach. It would do the same thing, and not require them to have chat moderators 24/7.

[@Fux_Craft]

Yes

[@adrycough]

It'd be nicer if they just stored a log of messages for admins of different servers to deal with their own personal ban decisions. I think there was a plugin like that once.
