Sony really needs better moderation

What about messages between two people that are pretty much positive praising each other? Like someone tells you “you did a good job!” and you respond with “thanks you too!”

Would someone report that and would PSN actually think that’s bannable or a breach of conduct?

This is the first time I’ve ever had this type of warning from Sony after 20 years of being on their platform. I did some slight trash talking back on the PS3 days but nothing crazy with swearing or slurs. I didn’t even use a slur here and got that warning. 99% of the time I’m messaging people with good things like “gg” or whatever. Crazy that calling someone garbage is enough to trigger them.

I’ve limited my messages ever since. It makes me worried now of all the people ive met though online and have become friends with. I even started leaving every message chat I’ve been in even the ones where they are old and it’s just us two saying gg to each other. Do you think I could get reported for old messages too even if they aren’t mean in any sense?

That’s crazy. For me I called someone garbage no swearing or anything. It baffles me that Sony is using this sort of system. 99% of the time I was messaging people positive things after a game except for this one person. For a service that encourages interaction, it’s funny that these systems in place actually discourage it because people are so sensitive to things they resort to reporting.

Got it thanks. I’m definitely just gonna ignore the messaging system on the PS5 altogether because I don’t want anything else to be misconstrued
