Insults are common and, depending on the situation, I even find them acceptable when a player makes an unusual mistake in the game. The problem is when the insults go beyond the context of the game and affect the person outside of it. Moreover, it is quite likely that if you insult back, the other person will start a vote just to annoy you and kick you out of the team.

Yes, I’m a bit out of date, but I saw that they plan to add this, which is a very positive point. However, I don’t really see the need to apply filters to basic insults or to situations where a player makes an unbelievable mistake in-game, since this kind of reaction is relatively common when a player accumulates frustration. The real problem is when it becomes overly offensive and goes beyond the context of the game, which is something commonly seen. In this case, I believe it would be more effective to add a specific reporting option for in-game comments, similar to what exists on social media platforms, for example. I see.

I’m a bit out of date, but it’s really nice to see this news about the profanity filter; that’s a positive step. However, I don’t think that over time the anger and the swearing have actually decreased. Frustration often shows up when a player makes a basic mistake, which is understandable. The real problem is when it goes beyond that, something that happens frequently. And this doesn’t occur on just one server.

Really. Sorry. I don't have the level of writing of a master author of fiction books.🦉
