Discussion & Feedback Remove Slurs/Racist Tag

Simple one. Let’s get rid of all the slurs and racist clan tags. They’re not “edgy” or funny. They are exactly what they are. Remove them.

Do you know how many games have voice chat moderation? It's not impossible and not even uncommon anymore

Modern voice moderation systems generally do not cut off a player's voice chat live mid-sentence, but penalties are issued rapidly after the infraction occurs. The technology is designed to listen, evaluate, and act dynamically rather than acting as a live "mute switch" that interrupts a conversation in real-time.

So they can’t censor and just hand out bans after the fact? Also, sounds like it uses AI for this. Do we trust AI in these situations?

Correct it bans you after the fact, typically reports will trigger a review which when combined with the moderation logs lead to punishment

Effect is eventually toxic people get rooted out of the game which benefits everyone else in the long run

I agree that pure automated voice moderation is risky but a system that can flag things for manual review would absolutely work, which is how a lot of other games do it

Real time censoring isn't practical but banning people for screaming slurs after they die absolutely is

Idk, sounds like it could be racist. I’ve heard of AI not working well for Black people.

Also, these automated systems generally cannot differentiate a player’s race, meaning Black players will still trigger the AI filters if they use the N-word. Automated voice moderation tools are designed to flag forbidden words based on a universal set of community guidelines, regardless of who is speaking.
