Community Blacklist for Toxic Players?

@NatiRedGals and @Foxdodge I had heard about reporting players for bad conduct but before sending something to the company and them possibly getting some kind of huge consequence (not sure what Microsoft or Rare does for this type of thing) I thought I would ask if there was something in place within the community first trying to solve it at the lowest level possible.

I hadn't thought about a shaming element and that wasn't my intention, it was more of some kind of way to avoid these players that can't say three words without some sort of expletive jammed in to attempt to add "emphasis".

Omg somebody call this guy a whambulance. I’ve found that people who complain & cry about others being toxic are usually the most toxic ones. We don’t need to try control people’s ability to free speech no matter how “toxic” when there are already dozens of features that you can utilize to only hear what you want to hear. Party chats, discord’s, you can even play music 🎶 through your Xbox & only hear your favorite songs if you so wanted.

Can you imagine any pro sporting event where competitors are facing off & Lebron James or someone says “wait, stop timeout refereeeee he said a naughty word to meeeee” I’m pretty sure pirates of any era were equally as competitive & spirited. They probably weren’t saying things like “that hat looks really good on you & I really like what you’ve done with your ship” as they were trying to rob & kill you.

@admiral-greyjoy While I do appreciate your feedback and criticism of my experience/my asking for information, I can't help but be confused by your conflicting messages. In your post you are clearly being antagonistic and belittling but you also upvoted @Foxdodge when they stated:

@foxdodge said in Community Blacklist for Toxic Players?:

@warrior576 Blacklisting isn't the way to go about things, this community is all about promoting and sharing positivity. If you encounter a player where there is a problem then the best thing to do is always report them to Microsoft or Rare.

How can you promote positivity and then speak so negatively in the same thread? I'm very confused.

@BloodyBil If I mute external crews then how will I find encouraging and positive people to play with like @Admiral-GreyJoy

I am open to this solution. Let's try it! This is a much bigger problem in the gaming community. People cussing online, yelling racist remarks, or threatening other players is unacceptable. Rare doesn't need those kind of pirates. If they want to keep a positive environment, then holding players accountable needs to be enforced more strictly. Oh and everyone using the free speech argument against this solution is silly. Free speech was never meant to protect toxic players verbal abuse.

Its kinda like twitter and facebook. Are they a platform or a publisher?

If Microsoft is a platform, then you can say whatever you like, and no one should be able to complain(excluding incitement and call to action). If Microsoft is a publisher, they are entitled to censor/moderate/ban as they see fit(according to their code of conduct). As a publisher, they are also liable if something bad slips through the cracks, like swearing, racism, sexism, false call to action, etc etc.

Therefore, record the incident, pass it on to MS or rare, and they decide the outcome/punishment, not the community.

Edit: I just re-read that...sorry for being so boring:)

Carebear....
Remember when banter was a way of making new friends?
Now these kids get offended over anything they hear in the internet.

Sad.

Just mute them, next time.
Or talk back.

Now watch me get censored for having a different opinion.

Sure
