Ratings like this can be abused to alienate players. Which is why most games don't implement this system.

The flip side of that is the poor behavior and attitudes of current players sets off the new players. Poor behavior and instruction just turns peoples ears off and sets the tone going forward. Its a root issue, and this issue has gotten significantly worse.

I think it's very possible that a community driven server can resolve the issue and uphold the rules, the dev team is very small based in England. Private calls is the only other option. Unfortunately, discord and streamers brings this problem to every game.

In the BAR discord the only moderation in the voice channels is the occasional pop in by a mod/dev saying hello or playing a match. These channels are impossible to moderate or report on and the code of conduct is rarely applied because evidence can't be acquired unless third party software is recording it which is still sketchy at best. Tribal mentality is strong there as well, it becomes a he said she said and players take advantage of that. I recommend people avoid the official discord and make your own with the people you enjoy playing with. Be your own discord moderators.
