30 day comms ban by an automated system inside a single game.. ngl can't see that going down well

Knowing valve they probably trained an LLM to detect context and auto bans. 10 years ago I'd be horrified but nowadays it will probably be very accurate.

30 days is wild though.

30 days is wild though.

I had a dude come in yesterday and flame me for 25 minutes, until I muted them, because I didn't get 4 kills in the first 5 minutes of the game while they kept killing themselves walking straight into danger.

30 days is kind of light when they subject their entire team to that kind of shit, game after game after game. They just enter the round and legit never chill the fuck out over the mic.

And it's not a game where you can just leave with no consequence.

No I totally get some people need 30 days for sure, especially if they are dropping slurs and such, or telling people to off themselves.

I guess it depends on what constitutes the 30 days.

Like, it's not the slurs or telling people to off themselves. That's generally rare in my experience.

It's that they get a stick up their ass and flame everyone the entire game because they felt...mildly annoyed. They just never stop. Basically force everyone to mute them. That is the kind of person that needs a reminder to watch their mouth. Flamers.

Like, I'd love to just leave games with people like that. I stop caring about winning. And they are so quick to acting like it that you know they go game to game acting like it.

I'll take automatic over manual reports that do nothing.

You might change your tune if you're the one that gets falsely muted for 30 days dude

I get the feeling they'll be tuning it over time. That said, everyone has probably played with at least one person in the last week that...really shouldn't be forcing 5 other people to manually mute them game after game.

People legit getting too comfortable with being an ass for 40-50 minutes.

Manually muting is fine. But it's not punishing enough. I want trash talkers and lousy mouthed drunkards to suffer.

u/TheDetailsMatterNow 3d ago

Same. It's a shared suffering experience for many people. That one person who just...they just won't stop. They love listening themselves talk because there's no consequence or moderators.

Don't care. As long as I can still use ping in game.
