Bedrock and Java are entirely seperate and worked on by different teams.
They're owned by the same parent company at the end of the day, and their moderation team is more than likely directly controlled by Microsoft since it abide's by it's ToS. People forget that the teams are only separated for development of the game. Everything else? Microsoft.
Then, I guess, don't make satirical jokes that could be misconstrued as racist/something like that in public, like in real life?
Except ratelimiting isn't really a system that can be cheesed without hundreds of proxies... Even then, just block VPN IPs with Cloudflare or whatever Mojang use for their sessionservers. This problem also exists with every moderation system ever.
Yeah, well, my school also had a "no banter" rule because it's difficult to distinguish between banter and actual bullying. It's much better to do it in private messages.
All three of these fall under overly censoring or restricting people from just doing things they normally do. I doubt I'd get pelted with rocks if someone overheard me tell my best buddy to fuck off as a joke, MANY people use VPNs for safety or region locks more than they do for malicious intent, and banter isn't harmful at all, especially if a server has no rule against swearing (people are all at least 13+ on it) so in that case you're doing a 50/50 between if your gonna ban two friends having a go at it or a genuine bully situation.
Singleplayer won't get banned on Java edition, which is what I'm talking about in this post.
No one knows what the future holds. People already said that there was no way they'd do something like this in Java Edition because "They're different versions! And it never had it before!" but to everyones shock and surprise Microsoft did it. Remember, they own the game. They call the shots. If they did it there, they aren't behind doing it here.
How would a bot be able to differentiate between an ironic joke and unironic statement? Plus, if they make a large volume of false reports, or a large volume of reports within a certain timeframe, their accounts will almost certainly be punished.
1. Bots can be coded to recognise keywords and phrases. That can tie into recognising strings of messages that meet certain keyword-based criteria (e.g. several messages using words like "hate","fuck","kill". example: "Omg" "I hate you" "so much" "fuck you" "I'm going to kill". context in-game: Guy was killed by his friend using something like end crystals or respawn anchors. I know it's a specific situation, but there's many more likely situations you can run into.
2. Mass reporting will lead to 1 of two things;
- They either implement automation like Google does with YouTube or just hire people who don't care much at all due to how taxing it'll become to manually read and reply to these spams compared to genuine reports, which leads to more easier report spamming to get people banned.
- They are more likely to ban YOU, the person reporting, if they think the issue is exaggerated. Which in turn will just make no one ever use the report function (besides bots), thus making it a useless feature they wasted resources on (technically a win for us, but still stupidity regardless).
I doubt I'm gonna be able to convince you on why this is a horrible idea for Java Edition, so I'm gonna end this off by just saying one last thing;
Regardless if you agree with the moderation or not, why the hell couldn't they ONLY ban people from only chat, signs, books and the likes instead of banning entirely from a whole subsection of gameplay?
I don't need an answer to this because we all know it's because they don't care (and probably want you to buy the game again if you get banned).
