Was this automatic or foul play?

[Karl]

I was having a little session with my buddies and one of them who is new to the game, the ghost spawned on his ass which scared him, and suddenly he screamed a slur. Next time we tried to play together, he said he had gotten banned. Was this automatic or did one of our friends think it would be funny?
(They all decline reporting, and it certainly wasn't me)

I remember testing this out that 3 roughly reports is enough to get a user banned. The number of reports seem to be what leads to a ban, not the legitimate actions. Clearly, the developers cannot "confirm" if you had fly hacks, or used a slur, there is no recording device, nor a cheat log that keeps track of your actions.

Maybe they reported him because they genuinely found it offensive, and like in MOST friend circles full of obnoxious nerds, no one had the balls to admit it? Its not "foul play". It's why the report function is there in the first place.

Just sounds like the system's doing it's job to me.

Greetings,

If people have reported him for it then action will be taken. They can try to appeal in our Discord Server, tell them to message Phasmo ModMail. https://www.discord.gg/Phasmophobia

My friend is a person of color and I'm not sure how he could have offended any of us since we are all white.

Sounds like one of your friends doesn't find it funny when someone spouts racist ♥♥♥♥. Joke or not, person of color or not.

Hey, no one you have reported has ever got banned. None of our bans are automatic and we do not ban after a set amount of reports.

Thanks for the intel Dknighter, and yes moldorm I know he's in the wrong regardless but they should have just spoke up instead of doing it anonymously, it just removes trust from our friend group now
