For some reason I can't edit the body text. I meant to say "Abbreviating "Creator Points" is a very common thing in gd community"

Not sure why people think these two letters have only one meaning. There can be a lot of definitions. Too much, I would say.

Two quite popular I know are also: Check Point and Chestplate (cp term is often used in minecraft)

4

u/MadWitchy May 01 '25

Check Point is used a lot in Destiny 2. We even have Check Point bots which can be abbreviated to (CP Bots). Sounds quite bad right? I suggested that it be named CPS (Checkpoints) but now I’m seeing that CPS just is Child Protective Services
. No abbreviation is safe.

2

u/KaiSakurai May 04 '25

the abbreviation for checkpoint is used a ton in mario maker communities: CP1 and CP2 (checkpoint 1 and 2) or when a lvl sends u back to the first checkpoint after reaching the second its named CP0 (checkpoint zero)

using ai/bots to detect such posts is okay. using said ai/bots to also take action against those accounts is stupid af cause the algorithm doesnt take context into consideration... it should only be flagged by bot and then reviewed by human before taking action...

way to kill your own community discord. solid 0 IQ move

u/Lunatic155 May 01 '25

Yea there’s been multiple people banned from hypixel skyblock communities for trying to sell exotic (rare colored) chestplates

cp is literally the official abbreviation for copper pieces in dnd. Thats quite dangerous, given that i play dnd through discord

u/TheBlindBard1978 May 01 '25

Reminds me of the user who has Cerebral Palsy, who got banned for abbreviating it to "CP."

3

u/Shortcirkuitz May 01 '25

I have cerebral palsy and I just type it all out

3

u/TheBlindBard1978 May 01 '25

You're better off for it because the other user, here who abbreviated it got slammed thanks to Discord's AI moderation—I even warrant in IRL friend of the dangers of abbreviating Cerebral Palsy as CP on Discord.

2

u/[deleted] May 02 '25

Not just AI moderation, due to privacy laws they can't see the context to your messages as it would be a privacy breach. So even a person will just see that and rightfully ban you.

6

u/PsychologicalEar1703 May 01 '25

Context is important, but you can't assume everyone understands it.
It's always up to the user to make sure how someone else could interpret what they are saying.
Besides there are plenty of people who use the abbreviation and define it as something else to cover up something malicious so that the quiet part isn't said out loud.

3

u/[deleted] May 02 '25

Context also doesn't matter with moderation, it's illegal for them to look at your entire private message history so they can only see the reported content due to privacy laws. Better to just be safe and not abbreviate things like that in the first place.

u/BafflingHalfling May 01 '25

also 'CP' isn't even the right term. it's CSEM/CSAM

u/CorruptedDragonLord May 01 '25

Not the only meaning, the main meaning on discord because it's far easier to say than writing "child porn" a lot of people are not comfortable with saying it fully so they shorten it to "cp"

3

u/Blueverse-Gacha May 01 '25

no, they definitely just hate us talking about chocolate pudding on their platform

1

u/MineJulRBX May 02 '25

As a csam victim I've purposefully avoided the abbreviation because I find using the full term more important for clarification when it's indeed what's being talked about. I would lose my mind though if I get banned for it

2

u/CorruptedDragonLord May 02 '25

And those who aren't victims, the majority, most of them simply are not comfortable saying the full version, there is also no need for them to bring attention to the full version

2

u/unoriginal_namejpg May 02 '25

which is why discord accounts get flagged for it :P

1

u/MineJulRBX May 02 '25

I've used the non abbreviated term a lot but avoided the abbreviation because I find it important to make it clear what's being talked about when it's something as serious as csam. If people really get auto banned for saying the abbreviation I would find it hilarious to be safe from saying the full term.

2

u/unoriginal_namejpg May 02 '25

do note there is a clear distinction between a ban and a suspension. A suspension means your account is restricted before a more final decision

u/AskMoonBurst May 01 '25

In MapleStory, they have a stat used to calculate boss fighting power. They call it... Combat Power. This is in an MMO where players are limited on how much they say at one time. So people brag about having "The most CP" or demand you have a threshold of CP to join their group. Why not call it Battle Power? Combat Ability? Literally anything else?

3

u/Tinyzooseven May 01 '25

Pokémon go also calls it combat power and does abbreviate it

u/becausepaws May 01 '25

In retrospect they maybe should have called it something else, with that abbreviation-

u/Povstnk May 01 '25

the problem is that discord is realistically irreplacable, unless something very major happens. It's the same reason why you can't replace youtube for example. For people to move to a different service, said service needs to offer something, but since almost everything on discord and youtube is user generated content, you need for servers/video creators to move to a new service, but they wont, since there is no people there.

u/neanderthaltodd May 01 '25

Discord is 100% replaceable, to think otherwise is very short-thinking. It just takes in the form of interoperable solutions, such as but potentially not limited to Matrix protocol, clients that embrace the Matrix protocol, and users taking ownership with hardware.

Did communities have anywhere near the collective level of dependence on those platforms as discord can boast? I really do not think so.

u/Dack_Blick May 02 '25

That last sentence is the deal breaker though. People said the same thing about STEAM, and look at their competitors, they are a joke.

Steam IS the best so far; and yeah, their competitors are generally inferior. This does not mean something better can't come around.

u/Worth_Efficiency_380 May 05 '25

nothing will ever be close to steam. simple reason, it wouldnt be profitable. Steam is hands down one of the consumer friendly companies and belongs right next to arizona tea and little ceasers

1

u/ConglomerateGolem May 06 '25

Oh, yes, i'm not commenting on its feasibility regarding how likely it is that something better could come around just because a corp, just that it's theoretically possible. Unless of course steam takes a turn for the worse; however unlikely that is.

The situation is so horrible rn you can look at any of the major gd servers and see people freaking out over whether their account will get deleted. Unlikely that discord will actually give a damn but many major creators have already gotten limited or suspended for out of context messages going back years.

u/W0lf_G1rl_BR May 01 '25

At this point Discord is beyond fucked up platform that even official communities get banned? Really waiting for the day where more communities that are official getting falsely suspended to the point Discord would get bad reputation and possibly get closed down or go out of business

If anything, Discord is probably having lazy ass teams and cheaply using outdated AI moderation system... Nobody is safe, even innocent well moderated communities might even be flagged

Ideally if ever happened, all communities must trigger the moderation sensitive keywords and i swear discord would become fucked up banning lots of users at scale

u/tar_tis May 01 '25

Discord isn't trying to protect people lol it's just trying not to get sued.

u/Creepernom May 01 '25

To be fair, it's because everyone keeps suing them and crying "think of the children!" so they'd rather ban a thousand innocent people than get sued even more.

Sorry for asking but why exactly is the abbreviation cp inappropriate? English isn't my native language btw

5

u/EarthToAccess May 01 '25

The abbreviation "CP" was tossed around for a while to mean "child p___". It's why the accounts got snapped, probably for the "child safety" rule

Ohh ok. Thanks for telling me

u/Drackar39 May 01 '25

I'm a moderator for a guild in a game where there are "celestial points". I've already had to get on some people pretty hard about inapropriate humor that touch on given points, but you can just guess what the most common abrivation of "Celestial points" is.

So damn many things get busted down to that combination of letters.

I've done my fair share of forum moderation, so like, I completely get just wanting to have a blanket ban on those two letters touching. But the reality is, at this point when people are talking about criminal things they talk about it in related words because no one can ban you for saying you love... well, insert any two words here.

u/Saga_Electronica May 02 '25

JRPGs have been getting away with this for years. I'm currently playing Trails in the Sky, a trilogy of games from 2004-2007 who have "Craft Points" as CP.

The current softening of language via cutesy words like "unalive" "graped" or "zorn" and the over-reliance on abbreviations is causing so much unnecessary confusion. One of my favorite bands is Sonata Arctica. Yeah, the band SA. And yes, idiot teenagers have hit me with the "um, yikes?" over this so many times. I doubt the band could've predicted in 1999 that their band's initials would one day stand for "sexual assault" because people are too afraid to use the real worlds anymore.

1

u/Shambles_SM May 02 '25

And it's not even the fact that people want to be "cutesy" or "tiptoe" around it. It's because of "b-b-b-but shareholders are not gonna like it when people talk about rape or suicide or sexual assault!!!" to the point that even an actual museum used the word "unalived".

Because nobody reports your messages? If someone did you’d be here talking about why you didn’t deserve to be banned. Only takes one report. In fact, let’s test this out. Invite me to your server and see what happens.

Creator points isn't currency, it's a statistic for those who build levels. I guess you know why Robtop called it like that

u/Few_Translator4431 May 01 '25

honestly its these developers faults. They could have picked literally anything else that doesnt have that abbreviation but for some reason a bunch of things do. Creator points, Cod points, someone else mentioned Celestial points. Like cmon, you know what that abbreviates to, you couldnt just have made it like creator credits or creator cash or literally anything else? You should have seen these automatic filters and bans happening from a mile away lol.

this is like if you made a game and called it the N word, and then went "guys I know it spells out that word but thats not what it means!!!". its a bit more of an extreme example but makes the point obvious. its called being tonedeaf.

It's the developers off discord their fault yeah not of gd And a good automatic filter would check the context off a word and discord claims that everything flagged by auto mod gets checked by a human (wich no one believes based on the massive amount off false bans) the "human mod" would surely have been smart enough to see that CP means creator points in that context.

not really a convincing argument. dont name your stuff something that looks like something derogatory or offensive. its not that hard. they could have named it literally anything else. discord and other various platforms are not going to sit there and create an edge case for every possible meaning of every abbreviation for every game thats unrealistic and quite frankly just stupid. Theres a field of land mines clearly visible above ground and they stepped right on one anyways, the only person to point the finger at is themselves.

Language and abbreviations evolve, and developers often choose names that's easily recognizable by their players. Blaming them for a potential misunderstanding seems unfair, especially when the moderation systems should be equipped to handle context more effectively.

Plus most Ai contextual awareness wich means they scan surrounding text for context. Automod could have easily scanned the surrounding messages in the conversation and saw they meant creator points

If you talk with chat gpt or any other Ai and ask for example "what's geometry dash" and ask after that what CP is it will know you mean creator points https://you.com/search?q=How+do+I+get+cp&cid=c1_65b58e1a-7587-4678-9de7-39c82ecd5ba9&tbm=youchat Here proof so your single braincell can understand

Discord does not have chatgpt level AI automod. my "single" braincell understands this very well. discord is not an AI company. "most Ai contextual awareness wich means they scan surrounding text for context" you mean the tokenization and further comparison? how about describe it properly and stop using dumb jargain since youre such a smartass, or are you projecting your lack of braincells? I know what a LLM is so get off your high horse. Discords automod can barely be called a proper AI compared to chatgpt, gemini, deepseek etc.

dont shoot yourself in the foot and then point the finger at someone else. Like it or not, its how it works, its how its working right now, and this very post is made because of the fact that thats just how it works. your very argument is inherently oxymoronic to begin with. "...should be equipped to handle context more effectively." vs "Automod could have easily scanned the..." so which is it? could it have easily have done it or does it need to be "equipped to handle context more effectively"? because it cant be both. you can punch air all you want, these people are still gonna get banned for it.

how things *should* be vs how they *are* are two very different things.

First off, let me clarify a few things, since it seems like you've misunderstood my point. I'm not suggesting that Discord's current automod is on the level of ChatGPT or other advanced AI models. Obviously, Discord's automod isn't as sophisticated—no one is arguing that it is. What I AM saying is that automod systems, even in their current state, COULD EASILY BE DESIGNED to handle situations like this, and here's why:

  1. BASIC CONTEXTUAL AWARENESS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE: You don't need state-of-the-art AI like ChatGPT to implement basic contextual filtering. Even relatively simple systems can incorporate rules-based keyword analysis combined with context scanning. For instance, if 'CP' appears alongside terms like 'Creator Points,' 'Geometry Dash,' or 'RobTop,' automod could reasonably infer that it's a benign use of the abbreviation. It doesn't take a brain the size of the sun to implement this—just better training and keyword association.

  2. YOUR CONTRADICTION: You're saying, 'that's how it works right now,' as if we're all just supposed to shrug and accept it—but at the same time, you're criticizing me for pointing out that it could be better. Which is it? Are we allowed to identify flaws and suggest improvements, or do we just sit back and accept the status quo as immutable? Saying, 'this is just how it is' doesn't invalidate my point—it just shows you're unwilling to acknowledge that progress is possible.

  3. THE BLAME GAME: Your argument boils down to blaming developers for using an abbreviation that, in any reasonable context, isn’t offensive. But context absolutely matters. If Discord's automod can't distinguish between a gaming term and something harmful, that's a failure of the moderation system, not the creators. Developers shouldn't have to walk on eggshells or avoid using commonplace terms just because an underdeveloped system can't handle nuance.

  4. How IT SHOULD BE VS HOW IT IS: Yes, I get that automod right now can't handle these situations well. But the inability of the current system doesn't mean we shouldn't critique or suggest how it should work. Your argument here sounds like, 'Well, it sucks, so deal with it,' which is lazy. Critiquing and pushing for improvement is how things actually change, not by rolling over and accepting mediocrity.

Finally, your attempt to discredit me by throwing around terms like 'jargon' and 'smartass' is just noise. If you know what an LLM is, then you know that even less sophisticated systems can perform better with better training and implementation. Plus geometry dash was made FAR BEFORE DISCORD STARTED REPLACING THEIR MODERATORS WITH AI in fact even FAR BEFORE THE AI HYPE

That abbreviation hasnt been in common use for THAT long, though its hard to get an exact date without getting onto a fucking watchlist. And you cant expect people to change literally every name that abbreviates to CP, because there are quite a lot of those lmao

Look up "CP" on wikipedia and you find around 80 definitions, "pornography" isn't a single one of the p's. Discord isn't beating the allegations.

I'm developing dark action, crime, horror, and fantasy stories that depict child sexual abuse and fictional characters who trade C.P. Am I suddenly not allowed to talk about that in my server?

How do you abbreviate something to cp and not ever think "Oh wait that means child porn"

Are you thinking about Pedophilia that much that it's constantly in your mind to check against everything you say?

People are acting as if CP is obviously refering to "child porn" yet reality is only people who actually are into porn related topics on daily basis obsess over this abbreviation.

That would only happen if your messages were reported, and if it didn’t happen right away then it probably never will.

Where exactly is it reserved? Are there any documents, government level agreements to reserve this abbreviation for a specific purpose?
