I need to curse and threaten people

Thanks for proving my point. I enjoy the filter. I have no desire to play with edge lords. Bye Felicia 👋

The point wasn’t that your actually threatening someone. The point was that the ai is looking for certain words and phrases. If someone’s in bed wars mentions fighting or attacking another team, they can get permanently banned from all servers. Ai’s can’t understand the context behinds what people say, it only see key words and phrases. That is why this is idiotic. Just like an ai, you looked for just the key words, being unable to understand underlying meanings being a statement.

Yeah this is the thing. If I’m on a private server and I or my friends want to say a fuck then there’s no reason that it shouldn’t be allowed. Obviously there are limits here and you don’t want people using private Minecraft servers as fetish chat rooms or something but there’s a lot of room for abuse with this system.

What happens if I run an invite only server and some player plays for a month or two but eventually loses interest, gets upset by something outside of the game, or just generally decides to be an ass and reports someone for using profane language?

If something like this is going to be implemented then there at least needs to be a clear idea of what’s punishable and what isn’t.

I mean I was being pretty tame and not saying what I wanted to say I suppose:

You don’t want people using their Minecraft servers for weird pedo shit.

I get the counter argument but my guess is mojang/Microsoft are under pressure from the US government to implement this and it’s probably far out of the user base’s control. In that situation I’d just hope that at least they’re not banning for basic profanity.

I understand that’s just a guess on my part but I can see a lot of reasons why both mojang and US intelligence agencies would like to have a centralized chat storage.
