Squad needs to Dump the Squad Community Ban List.

[crazy]

After playing squad for 5+ years, you start to build up false bans after a while, especially on a gaming streak from admins who don't necessarily appreciate you. All For One servers I was banned for Mortaring Teammates because a troll was giving me false coordinates, and he was a squad lead which is the worst part. eXodus banned me for "unknown" but I remember because I joined after a Streamer joined, and a moderator I guess didn't appreciate us messing around with the streamer even though there was barely 30 people on. 56 Canadian Gaming banned me because i stole a vehicle from a teammate because if I DIDN'T, one of our HABS would've ran out of ammo and couldn't defend the front no longer.

The United Front banned me for being "toxic" because i made a joke about the Ukrainian war while we were playing insurgency. I don't remember the other servers ban reason but I never play intentionally toxic. Sometimes I mess around but only if I'm hanging with a good light hearted squad. And because of these ridiculous reasons, I am banned from at LEAST 80% of servers because Squad Community Ban List gives the power to ban people from basically the whole game to 12 year old's. I genuinely enjoy this game, but this is going to ruin it genuinely like it did with other games that tried to implement a global ban list. Others tried to get around the ban by getting an alt account, but I'm not doing that because it shows how much I care about this, and I do not want to get scammed.

This is no at all hate towards the game, I really love squad but this upsets me most. At LEAST implement a tag to filter out servers with this corrupt ban list.

EDIT: I don't know why some people are personally offended by this post. Sorry if you've been teamkilled before or dealt with toxic people. It happens but that still doesn't excuse that SCBL is a fairytale failure of a "automated moderation".

EDIT2: While this is still getting replies somehow I'd also like to say I hate ICO

I also dislike the banlist, but what incentive does OWI have to make this change? They're gonna make a decent amount when this Infantry Overhaul comes through...

True, I don't EXPECT them to do anything but like, the SCBL is a threat to the playerbase for sure, especially for oldies. Just to put it out there and maybe less servers would use it.

CBL is ''optional'' for servers to use, not required. Most big servers use it, we don't.

I was falsely banned by the admins at Hell Let Loose when it got taken over by Team 17 and it was a malicious admin ban. No reason for me to be added to the list. Just revenge by the admin for beating him

I wasn't even banned in Squad but because there is some overlap of players and community ban lists now it's affecting my ability to play Squad. That's not fair. I didn't do anything to deserve these restrictions other than play the game. It's wrong that I'm being punished by a third party that has restricted my access to the game on their whim. Is there anything I can do?

CBL is not 'optional', it is third party and not part of the vanilla Squad dedicated server, and should be classed as a mod and servers running it moved to the Custom browser page and not the Official browser page. If you want to check it out for yourself go an download the dedicated server tools in Steam, everyone who owns Squad gets access to them.

I agree, it should be classified as a mod and automatically moved to Custom servers or what the other tab was called. Its what games like Rust does.

Sucks how a refund will probably be rejected but it should be a crime that we can't. You literally HAVE to play multiplayer in order to play, there's not even a singleplayer campaign. The developers of the SCBL are also horrible people who are likely SJW's with nothing better to do with their lives than punish hundreds, if not thousands of people just to stop a few people that would hurt their feelings.

[Volk]

Exactly my point! I posted the same Issue on another discussion but replies are not as friendly as they are here. Keep it up dude!.

Why are you people so predictable.

[Papperskorg]

Because we are actually people and not sheep and have a right to express ourselves.

And the people who administer the servers and participate in CBL's have the right to do that as well.

Welcome to the FAFO dynamic, people on CBL's get to experience the FO portion in realtime

I agree Coastal, and now to Korg.

Every time someone says they have a right to express themselves, I stop reading, or taking them seriously. It's just low-key saying "I want to be an D-Bag, but get away with it, and if you inhibit me in any way, you are a bully".

Lastly, you only have right of free speech/expression towards your government. Not any private organization, charity or person and peoples.

Wellcome to community ban list :)

Where the vocal one get banned year by year and you left with people that doesnt communicate :)

My most recent ban was on one server that gives autoban in chat for word "crap"
well basically "Abusive Language/Hate Speech/Toxic".....
pick the reason for yourself...

Not gonna mention troll admins that ban you for any reason and sugar coat it under "toxic/troll" if you just disagree with them

After treatment like this you doesnt really want to communicate with anyone on server, or even keep playing.

Family friendly war simmulator :)

Wellcome to Community Ban List, enjoy :)

These threads crack me up. People that just shut up and play the damn game don't end up on ban lists. Dumb edgelords do. Total non-issue.

people like you cracks me up. Playing a game called "Squad" where you supose to communicate and interact with your team and your advice is to "shut up and run pew pew" :D
Amazing!
