Do you not understand how litmus tests work? Furthermore, abusive or anti-social people tend to be impulsive... Let me put it this way, if your argument is valid, then it's also valid to point out that "why swear at someone, or swear at all, in the first place? It's just going to be censored." Really though that's not a good argument, it just shows why such logical arguments aren't reasonable in of themselves when by themselves - but that argument connects to the first part, because a profanity filter that suppresses bannable words, but doesn't remove the player immediately, is actually a great litmus test. It removes the exact people you should want to remove What about the fact that censored content in general is usually still part of an abusive message - Like a message that can be understood as abusive by the person receiving it when connecting the non-obliterated and the partially redacted text together I swear YT dramabaiters just love looking for things to be angry at.

The "You should tip the developers!" thing reminds me of that Shadow of War DLC fiasco where the studios' executive producer passed away due to cancer and they wanted to "honor" him with a $5 DLC where $3.50 would go to his family...before PS/Xbox/Steam got their cut, of course. Also, because of certain laws in the US, some states wouldn't have ANY of the money go towards the family. It stirred up so much crap with a game already overflowing with lootboxes and other garbage that WB immediately apologized, pulled the DLC, and donated directly to the family.

@hggpi Did you play it before or after the update that removed the lootboxes, fixed the leveling system, gave better gear rewards, optimized builds, and made it so that the Shadow Wars weren't a 10 stage grindfest where the only way to farm up the captains you needed to prevent them getting insta-killed was either building them up for hours or just buying them from a store? Cause if it was after, I can understand you feeling that way. If it was before...no. Shadow of War is one of my favorite games and I couldn't be bothered to do the Shadow War grind.

@hggpi Oh yeah, if you've been playing it after the update, Shadow of War is a phenomenal game and is incredibly well balanced and fun. Before the overhaul update, though? It was as much of a chore as any other live service game is now. The most obvious example is the Shadow Wars. It used to be a 10 wave section with multiple attack and defend phases that all but guaranteed you'd lose captains because of BS traits the AI would have with next to no rewards. After the update? It's 3 waves and you get the Wraith cloaks from them on top of skill points and resources.

Funnily enough, TF2 has a much more competent anti-swear system. All it does is let you decide what swears to censor or not. And you can just straight up disable said system and have no filter at all. And yet people manage to be mostly polite in what Blizzard would consider "a speech anarchy".

[@fatass7954]

​@@Ze_eT that is only in uncletopia, there are casual servers where if you say a slur the whole server starts screaming it just for fun, witch is fun because i am the one who starts also we have everything from the KKK members to the biggest furrys and its not uncommon to see both of them say the wildest of things

[@jackbob83]

@@fatass7954 that’s not true. If you go into the advanced settings you can set your client-side chat filter. Really helpful for filtering out all of the slurs I saw when I still played on Skial servers

But Charle, you CAN tip game devs after you finish the game. I have it's called buying merchandise. I personally have a Ralsae plush (deltarune) an owlbear figurine (DnD/BG3) a cult of the lamb one and the several pokemon ones, too. 😅 so I've given them extra dosh

The COC is so vague that literally using the text chat in any way could see you banned. "You may not use language that COULD be offensive or vulgar to others" May as well not even have a chat or comms feature.

Yeah and anyone can find anything offensive now sadly as people are so soft and saying how are you or good morning getting you banned

[@doltBmB]

The point of all CoC's is the be vague so it can be enforced selectively against men. CoC = misandry.

[@PepperOnPatty]

I wonder if they'll go even harder and ban words and phrases like "shut up" and "stupid" like an elementary school

[@kameronmyles2013]

One of the other commenters said they were banned for telling someone to "brush their teeth". So they are really tryin there best to do exactly like that

[@LiveTortoise764]

⁠@@maggie6152hate to tell you this, just turn off your match chat and don’t bother using it ever again or better yet stop playing because the report system is automated and based on how many reports get racked up, they never go away until you’re suspended and if I’m wrong then that’s fine but it sure feels like it.

[@user-cx6kt3ku2f]

Getting banned from this game for 30 days would not even be noticeable to me because I come back around every 3 months for like a day to check if everything still sucks.

Tracer has a voiceline literally calling people a wanker if you use the Punk skin. So if I called someone a wanker in chat, I could get banned for language that could be considered offensive, but having the video game character herself call you that after killing you is fine, and not offensive, by those same standards?

[@WaveOfDestiny]

seriously, google the ff14 TOS it's a joke you LITERALLY CANNOT ASK A TANK TO PUT TANK STANCE UP, you cannot say ANY REMOTELY offensive words, i got a 3 day suspension for writing someone who scammed me 5million gil was a "scumbag scammer" in my player search comment, and this is a fking game i pay monthly for. absolutely sickening, and you bet your ass they got a profanity filter too but GOD FORBID you say a bad word and some little twat sees it, BOOOOM account action!

The tipping suggestion is a smokescreen; in realms of business that allow tipping, it is historically a means of avoiding paying workers minimum wage.

[@unknownindividual6323]

From what I read Activision Blizzard is in California which doesn't allow tip credits so that shouldn't be the case.

Funny story about tipping: My brother had a former boss get arrested for embezzlement charges because they were pocketing most of the tip money, and distrubuting the rest as they saw fit. Tipping is an awful system used to excuse poor wages, and removing tipping only serves to piss people off who rely on those wages. Its such a blatantly engineered Catch 22. "We cant raise wages because tipping exists!" "We cant remove tipping because the wages are too low!"

[@yungbreezyatl]

so we just raise the wages?
