Will you still get banned for calling nezha a twink?

[Shoko Asahara.]

Kinda childish of them to do in the first place let alone stick to it so hard.

This is just too extreme honestly... I think normal conversation between people is fine. Been doing that for years... since I first started playing in 2015 and have not been banned ever. But I don't use Region chat or Q&A chat at all... they're just a cesspool anyway. But I've been interacting with people in missions and while trading and haven't had any issues.. yet. Just don't be a jackass and you won't get banned. People who claim they get banned "for no reason man," did or said something horrible to warrant that ban 99% of the time.

Its their game, its private property they can do whatever they want .

Their TOS indicate that you don't even own your account and they can do whatever they see fit with it.

So if you play , you will be playing on their rules . Your opinion on their rules is irrelevant

you mean when someone tricked her into saying a slur via a stupid hugh jazz type joke-username?

yeah man i wonder why a senior employee who would go on to become the game's creative director didnt get fired for a minor blunder

Why? We get perma banned for less. Just further illustrating the double standard.

But w/e I'm done here, feel free to quote my post and launch another white knight rebuttal, but don't expect any further replies.

I've learned not to talk in the chat at all, even the smallest joke can lead to a perma.

How are people in chat getting tricked into saying bannable slurs?
If you write something in chat you know what you're writing.

Every post on the forums about being banned because of region chat has been some Schrodinger's butthole posting a racist or homophobic dog whistle and then crying about the repercussions.

For very different reasons, but still.

On a non jokey point, it's just pointing out an insane level of hypocrisy from DE.
The same company insisting that 'trap' is too harmful to the community to be allowed has set aside a portion of their company to actively censor and erase that same community in china. Between the two, I'd say one of those is far more ban worthy.

i expect you to know people love to spam stupid sht and make chat unreadable, trap is not really an harmful joke, but it became an issue when everyone spamming it

I don't really care about the rest of this, but I do need to correct this statement: Moderation was rather clear they believed the joke to be transphobic in nature and greatly harmful.
Actually, their staunch opposition to it is likely what contributed to it being a meme.

The mod in question actually went on a rant after 'quitting' (presumed fired by the community). It was explicit enough that I'm probably not allowed to repeat it here. A very generous paraphrasing of it was:
'I know everyone in the warframe subreddit are transphobes or child predators, so I'm going to watch you all closely in chat and ensure you all get reported'.
As a glimpe into the tone and how much I cleaned up the rant, they ended it with the statement:
"CUZ IT'S PERSONAL NOW, ♥♥♥♥♥".
Yes, in caps. The entire rant was in caps.

A less explicit statement from our fair and unbiased moderator:
"I AM GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE'S CHAT LIVES ABSOLUTELY HELL, AND NOW I CAN GET AWAY WITH IT".

Seriously, moderator history is not good with warframe. People really ought to do some research on it, because it was pretty bad.

the double standard of a major employee being tricked into saying smth and not being punished vs. dumb people intentionally saying dumb things and being punished for it?

I got a 2 week chat ban for asking if there are any fire based frames besides ember and how do I immobilize synthesis targets, not even in the same message.

It was fast too, some mod was watching like a hawk.

Better to turn off chat and leave it off.

That's funny, this exact scenario has been described by multiple people as a way to get whoever decides to respond banned. I'm sure it's a total coincidence that you've done exactly what the trolls say to do and got stopped in your tracks for it instead. For sure.

Don't be annoying in chat and you won't get banned from chat. It's pretty simple. Stop pretending there's more to it than that.

Honestly I just don't use chat and stick to playing missions solo, aside from the odd trade.

The people who were banned may or may not have deserved it, but me personally I just don't want to take the risk. It reminds me of what Minecraft did with their chat reporting that could get your account permabanned from multiplayer period. People either abused the system or just didn't chat period.

It's not that everyone who opposed the moderation wants to be able to say harmful BS. It's the fact that it's become so heavy handed people aren't sure what can get you banned and what can't. At some point it just ends up not being worth it, because why risk your account over a stupid joke?

I must confess, I use ingame chat to say things like "hi! I want to buy this mod for X platinum (from this site)" and then "thank you!", also when I play with people I can say "I'm going to extraction" and "gg". Hope these don't lose their meaning soon as, well, other phrases did recently. You almost can't talk anymore, unlike in 2014.

Yet I was spouting Vote vor 2024 make the void great again and the like nonstop in chat the night of the election.

DE is Canadian. They're not under the same S&P department to badger them.
If this were SEGA, there would probably already be filters against the word vote.
Pretty interesting how a rear can be censored despite that being part of a real name.
It's almost like they're missing an Age-Gate label for chat...

Literally. Somehow we've arrived to a point where if people can't be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to randoms in the chat, then the game is "woke", their rights are being taken away, the sun explodes, etc.

11 years of using the chat without filtering myself whatsoever, still not banned.

It was one specific moderator who declared a personal war over it- only specifically for nezha. (Though they also called Nezha a trap out of game all the time.)
They're not even here any more.

Still baffles me why someone got mad over calling Nezha an anime trope.
