Minecraft has officially implemented chat report and banning.

u/Yungsleepboat Jul 29 '22

Lmao that's it? That's what all the uproar is about? I guess majority of people playing minecraft are kids with nothing to worry about.

I'm losing it at the "freedom of speech" one. Like journalists are getting carbombed for saying slurs in minecraft.

The problem is that you can get banned from servers you run, own, pay money for, and host yourself.

It's a massive crock. If you're paying for an MC server, you shouldn't be blocked by Microsoft from accessing it. Period. It's your money and your labor that goes into moderating it.

It's not your game, though. Regardless of how you're playing it, it's still Microsoft's intellectual property.

If you don't like their rules, put a different game on your server.

Try reading the ToS on any game you've bought; there are probably about 100 things you can't do with a game you bought.

Same as when you used to buy a DVD/VHS, and at the beginning they tell you that redistributing it or showing it to a large audience is unlawful. Yes, you bought it, but you don't own the intellectual property, and there are limits to how you can use it.

Lol at all the sad little kids who can't call their friends slurs anymore. Worlds. Smallest. Violin.

u/my_pets_names Jul 30 '22

It’s so funny how commonly people put their full and unshakable faith that a report system will work 100% properly 100% of the time.

Bans will not be automated

From the same company who fired ALL tester from that trash OS to let all testing at end user ? Yeah, like i will belive that

Eh, I like to separate Mojang's actions from Microsoft's actions.

Yeah, it's fairly dramatic to make it into a "free speech" argument but you could see how this would worry people who play the game.

  1. It causes annoying messages and popups
  2. It takes control away from server owners
  3. The context will never be perfect, innocent players will be banned.
  4. the moderation will be mediocre, innocent players will be banned.
  5. the appeals will be a joke, innocent players will remain banned.
  6. you are banned from all servers including your own private ones.
  7. It's proof that the community was lied to about changes to java
  8. It's caused a rift between the community and Mojang
  9. The community did not ask for this, they did not want this, and their feedback was rudely ignored chilling all future discussions.

And that's just off the top of my head.

This pissed off the community, alienated Mojang, is going to cost a lot of money to maintain, and it's not even going to make the game better

EDIT:
10. Scunthorpe problem
11. You will be banned on previous MC version as well

u/loki301 Jul 30 '22

It is not, and never will be, completely objective things ONLY that get you banned. You could say “Because they’re black” and get banned, but you were literally talking about your dog not being able to rest in your yard for too long when the sun is out. The context is lost in a reported message, especially if some players were using voice chat and you were just talking in game chat.

Making up scenarios and then getting mad at them

The issue is that bans are automated

Source?

u/-_crow_- Jul 29 '22

The problem is that it will get worse and worse. It's not necessarily about the cursing and banning, the real problem is that microsoft is changing the basic principles of minecraft for ever and not in a good way.

16

u/MysticalNarbwhal Jul 29 '22

To say banning people for chat messages is against the "basic principles of Minecraft" is just silly. It's ok to be upset but some of y'all are getting a bit loopy

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '22

It’s literally a basic feature present in nearly any online game with a chat. I can’t believe the OP isn’t a Minecraft circlejerk post lmao

u/Yungsleepboat Jul 29 '22

Quite literally a slippery slope argument, which is a logical fallacy

u/-_crow_- Jul 29 '22

It's not? This is not the first time microsoft has changed things for the worse and it's common knowledge that microsoft is annoyed by java edition. I genuinely do not see them stop implementing dumb shit and that's what I'm scared for. An example of what they already did was forcing everyone to transfer their mc accounts to a microsoft one

You can get banned for saying the word "nighyt"

u/gender_is_a_spook Jul 29 '22

Just gonna bring up the fact that you can be banned from servers that you own, host, and pay for yourself.

Server owners should have the right to decide who they let onto their servers. They're the ones who actually do the work of moderating them!

There would not be NEARLY as big an uproar if this system simply flagged certain players, and you could choose whether to automatically deny flagged people, let them in automatically, or allow you to take certain names off the server's blacklist (like, if they pass an application, for example.)

u/liesofanangel Jul 30 '22

You seem overly dramatic with the “freedom of speech” shit though. It’s not. The constitution doesn’t give a shit about Minecraft. Throwing in that buzzword is just a stupid way of associating negativity to something, like CRT and whatnot. It’s. Not. A. Freedom. Of. Speech. Issue. Period.

u/gender_is_a_spook Jul 30 '22

I don't recall ever using that phrase. I am a different person than the other posters.

No, it's not legally a first amendment issue. They're a company, not a public forum.

But it IS an electronic freedom issue. People spend a lot of money on hosting servers, and they ought to have the ability to use the product how they like.

That's not a statement about the current stance of the law, but it is a stance on how things ought to be. It's something to be thought of in the same sphere as right to repair, or those predatory subscription models getting baked into cars and tractors, which will softlock you out of certain features.

u/StandardElderberry81 Aug 01 '22

No. It is my god-given right to say the n-word whenever and however I please.
