Every day people are sharing into Smites Facebook pages screenshots of the slurs, depredations, threats and otherwise that are ALLOWED to propagate through smite in game communications.
Bans exist if you can report someone and that report makes it to the right channel, maybe.
But it really just begs to question, when simple text moderation has been available for decades in the video game world... why the f*ck are asshats still able to type in ‘stfu n*****’ (obv without the stars) and similar easily catchable phrases that could AUTOMATICALLY BE BLURRED.
That person could IMMEDIATELY and AUTOMATICALLY be banned and removed for their language, but instead the harassed have to work to ensure they aren’t harassed, rather than smite actually being a responsible company rather than one run by kids.
Take any MMO in existence, ANY game with chat functions, what I’m discussing is not an extra feature, it’s a bare minimum tooo to prevent harassment and discourage bigotry within your platform.
I’m just frankly sick of seeing kind people being harassed by bigots using Smite as their tool, chasing away people whom might otherwise enjoy the game.
It’s just unacceptable.
