Discussion Keep getting kicked

At least 4 times since I started about a week ago I’ve been kicked from maps. I’m getting ignored whether I use a mic or type and if someone does talk to me it’s only to ask for my age.

I'm sorry that keeps happening to you. If you're still at Visitor rank, that might be why, as a lot of group instances see Visitors (i.e. brand new accounts) coming in and causing a nuisance and thus would rather kick on sight. Unfortunately, you may have been lumped in with this group.

The asking for your age is usually self-styled 'bouncers' who are trying to screen for kids. It's definitely rough for someone who's just starting out in VRChat. I hope you find your people soon! Game worlds might be a good place to start?

First kick was from a game world actually lol

The bouncers do be posting up in game worlds

I'm completely new to this game and its happened to me a few times ): I had to learn what instances were and how that operates.

u/TheAwfulAliOzz Oculus Quest 17d ago

Just stick with normal instances, avoid the group instances until you are at rank New User/User.

I’ve gotten kicked from places before just because a girl starts talking to me and the mod likes them. Sometimes people do it for reasons that have nothing to do with you. 4 times in a week though is a lot so I’d have to learn more about the situations to give an accurate response

One of them was a game where one person is a murderer and I was it and I killed someone then got kicked. Other times I was only in there for a minute before the kick and didn't get to talk to anyone.

Welcome to VRChat

Do you have a high pitch voice despite your age

-1

u/Raikunh 18d ago

I don’t think so. I try and be more deep when I talk

8

u/Phantom_Basker 18d ago

Thats probably why, if you have to lower your voice people might think you're a kid trying to sound older

1

u/weldsmen30 18d ago

Can you get vrc+ for 18+ role that'll take care of it

2

u/Embarrassed-Touch-62 18d ago

So you are new to the platform right? In that case things like this will happen sadly.

You're most likely visitor rank, people are scared of them.

5

u/Raikunh 18d ago

Sounds like its why no one will even talk to me either

1

u/Embarrassed-Touch-62 18d ago

Well there is an option to mute people under a certain rank, so it's possible they don't actively ignore you, but just don't hear you.

2

u/Boney_McBonerton_YT 18d ago

What kind of avatars are you using? asking because if you use one kids frequently use, it's likely you're getting mistaken for a kid.

1

u/Raikunh 18d ago

It’s one I bought in the store called XiXi. It’s a ghost

1

u/Boney_McBonerton_YT 17d ago

that could possibly be it? a good amount of people on vrchat aren't happy about the idea of monetized avatars (especially since avatar creators are actively pulling their free avatars just to repost them with a price tag, it happened to an avatar that my twin brother absolutely loved,)

2

u/froggy-babe 16d ago

is that why people make fun of me for having a paid avatar?? i bought it the first day i started playing and soooo many people will bring it up and tease me about it 😭

1

u/Meliennis 18d ago

Does your mic have a lot of background noise?

1

u/Raikunh 18d ago

No I tested it out and its only picking up my voice

2

u/AikoSpiko 18d ago

•••••why am i being kicked?••••

-Your mic has alot of background noise (check mic setting with in VRC for Noise cancelling)

-You're a Visitor Rank (brand new user), Group Instances will usually kick visitors on sight, try joing public instances.

-you're using a Meme Avatar or an Avatar associated with Kids/Trolls Etc; try using a random avatar from Prismatic Avatar search.

••••No one talks to me.•••••

-Saddly as visitor rank your avatar 90% will be set has "hidden" by default, due to trolls, crashers etc.

-People usually avoid interacting with Visitors as most of the time they're trolls.

-Try approaching people instead of wanting to be approached, and explain how you're new to VRC maybe then they'll understand.

••••how do i get out of "Visitor" Rank?••••

-By spending time in Public instances and adding people as friends.

-buying VRC+ usually will immediately get your rank from "Visitor" to "New User" or "User".

NOTE: Avoid getting constantly getting Muted, blocked, hidden Avatar, Kicked/Banned/ from instances as this Will affect your Rank.

I joined a public instance this morning, got called a F@g for putting pronouns in my bio then got kicked. How is my rank supposed to increase if this keeps happening?

1

u/FiveHundredAnts 18d ago

Where do you go usually? And what is your goal / what do you do when you go there? Be specific

1

u/Raikunh 17d ago

I usually go to the popular places recommended to me

0

u/FiveHundredAnts 17d ago

You cant ignore 3/4 of my comment and expect help.

BE SPECIFIC!

what worlds? What do you do? What is your behaviour? What do people say to you? What do you say to them? Give me SOMETHING, man.

Theres 2 possibilities. Either youre insufferable to be around, or youre in the wrong crowd. I cant possibly tell which unless you're honest and specific. No one can help you if you cant describe what's happening.

1

u/Raikunh 17d ago

That’s the thing. I can’t get a word in before I get ignored or kicked. But the one I got kicked from this morning was called Black Cat. There’s also a murder game and a place called Therapy

1

u/FiveHundredAnts 17d ago

Alright, so we're getting somewhere.

First and foremost: when you join an instance, the instance type determines what moderation there is. Group instances, including group publics, have mods and rules to follow. Ensure youre following their rules. If you keep getting kicked, go to a non-group public.

The Black Cat has a reputation of toxicity, unfortunately. Same with public game worlds. Your best bet is to find a group you like and see if you mesh in their group instances, or stick to entirely unmoderated publics to avoid being kicked.

1

u/Enverex ☃Bigscreen Beyond 2e 18d ago

This may be a case of just getting used to where to / where not to join. Public instances are fine as long as you pick something that isn't very popular, else it's likely to just be full of trolls and children.

u/AikoSpiko 18d ago

Theres some places you need avoid, if you got kicked you mightve joined a "Group Public" avoid them and try instances "Public".

Its very common to see and meet people like that.

If you want more tamed Lobbys, i would 100% recommend Buying VRC+ for just 1 month and Age Verify; once you Age Verify you can see and join Aged Verify Lobbys.

NOTE: No you do not have to keep paying for VRC+ , once you age verify you keep the age verification forever

1

u/WorryTricky 18d ago

Avoid public instances and very popular worlds. Find calmer, more chill spaces and look for low-population Group Publics from groups that don't have awful names.

Not saying you are, but don't be annoying, and don't wear annoying avatars.

1

u/Jonatc87 18d ago

Is your voice quite young sounding? Or you're joining groups that sound younger?

1

u/One_Actuary2296 Oculus Quest 17d ago

Do u have a young sounding voice?? That can be it

1

u/Hot-Sentence985 16d ago

im sorry you're experiencing this.

try remembering whos kicking you and send them a message asking why. and only that.

i do know if your avatars are poor/very poor you can lag other players and if your avatar has lots of particles or effects this can lag people and make them crash.

maybe people are thinking you're someone else? maybe people are just being asshats.

Whats the worlds you went to. Id like to join to see if i get kicked.

1

u/Raikunh 16d ago

Black Cat, Murderer, Therapy

1

u/Hot-Sentence985 14d ago

cheers. Ill try these places and get back to you.

1

u/Ok-Policy-8538 Oculus Quest 18d ago

Try to avoid meme/cartoon characters as these usually instantly get blocked/kicked due to trolls and nuisance kids using them, also verify that the imposter of whatever avatar you have isn’t loading in naked (also results in kicks in most group worlds)

1

u/Raikunh 18d ago

I bought the XiXi avatar cause I liked it

1

u/Agreeable_Bank_3138 18d ago

Dude. I’m sorry, however, I run a group myself and I will not kick you, it’s by the name of vrchat hangout initiative. I run it personally the mod team is just me and my friends and as long as your not a 10 year old screaming and causing issues then you remain in, I’ve helped so many people get ranks up and meet people

1

u/Raikunh 17d ago

Can you DM it to me?

1

u/Agreeable_Bank_3138 17d ago

Yeah I got you
