Hit chat button, use chat filter.
I dont like this racism sh*t but we have tools in place to mitigate it
How did Triternion decide to not filter this in the first place? There are literally rudimentary chat boxes online 20 years ago that had this. Really curious as to the reasons behind this decision-making.
We had a narrow release window (before all the big games came out that would have dwarfed us) and we took it. I was pushing for a filter super hard but we just didn't have the time.
Why isn't there a tool that just gives a player an immediate 30 minute ban if they type the gamer word, then?
We're looking into some of this, but automated systems can be really dumb sometimes.
IIRC saying 'minigun' in GTA 5 would get you banned or the message censored, so things like that - false positives can occur, and it'd be mega lame to get even temp banned by an automated system that's just stupid. That being said we're looking into it.
I can respect that there is reasoning behind it, and not having strict chat moderation can be refreshing. That being said, I would at the minimum make the chat filters optional to disable instead of enable. Any new player won't have a clue about the optional chat filter and be confronted with this type of chat in a commercial game.
I mean if you go to type there's a chat filter checkbox right above the chat box itself. that being said I have no clue why we didn't make the filter enabled by default
