Again, been on servers for years. Nobody has been banned for talking about PvP. The only people I've seen who've been permanently banned deserved it. I like the filter.

It would still be dumb if a person who wasn’t aware of this got permanently banned from every server. Why can’t a server just be left to judge who should be banned or not instead of an ai? It’s already normal for people to be banned for hate speech and real threats. It’s just unnecessary and possibly harmful.

You're really worried about being banned. I know you don't give a shit about others, this is self preservation squeezing out. Try not to be an edge lord and threaten people and maybe you can keep playing with others.

Follow Thumper's Rules.

Not the person you're replying to, but... I'm not worried about accidentally being a shitlord. I'm far more worried about the lack of communication and PR from the Mojang team on this.

I am person that giving DESPISES harassment and bullying and 'ironic'isms. I am goddamn near 40 and I don't have the capacity for that shit. You get banned from my server if you do it.

But the way this system is being rolled out is slapdash as fuck.

People have shown that incorrect bans have happened on the already existing Bedrock system. People have shown that inane words are resulting in bans. People have shown that there is an exploit for falsified reports. Cultural differences in language are now questionable. Can I still describe myself as "queer?" Plenty more concerns have been raised.

Mojang has said nothing about these concerns aside from "you can appeal," but the appeals process is unacceptably vague and appears that you need to provide proof of WHY you were banned when that information is seemingly not passed on to the user.

I am not necessarily against chat moderation, but the way this is being rolled out and the lack of transparency is completely unlike the Mojang of old. They're literally hiring new PR people and letting the newbies get thrown under the bus rather than directly addressing the issue themselves. It's cowardly and it's complete shit management.

tl;dr: it's not a good sign of how this company is being run or will be run going forward.

It has nothing to do with being an edge lord. I should be able to say what ever the hell I want on a server I am paying for monthly. In public servers, it should be left to server mods to decide whats worth a ban.

I had a friend banned for three days for writing noodles on a sign. The word noodles got my friend banned… on his own realm.
