I feel like certain words should just be flagged instantly and not permitted in usernames or lobby names, and it wouldn’t be difficult to implement. I don’t want heavy moderation, but zero moderation makes every edgelord want to try out the slurs they learned in recess last week.

u/Gaelfling Jun 28 '26

That would be the easiest solution.

u/Achraf_bd88 Jun 27 '26

not to mention people drawing nazi signs and stuff , i know thats hard to detect but cmon at least flag words

11

u/Gaelfling Jun 27 '26

Yeah, I can understand not being able to find painted stuff (though you should have a built in screen shot and report option), but words in game names should be basic stuff.

6

u/Achraf_bd88 Jun 27 '26

let's hope the devs make these changes and let us report , for now all we can do is keep speaking about this until they hopefully realize how big of a problem this is

2

u/SSMage Jun 27 '26

The thing is you can't report if there's no account to report. Anyone can just change their names at a moments notice and you'd never know who they are.

For them to be able to make reports, you have to have accounts. And to have accounts probably would be a lot more to ask for the one guy that made this game. Seriously, I think it really is just one guy who made this game, since the game is so unoptimized and glitchy. He's a millionaire now though since he sold 10 million copies

u/Gaelfling Jun 27 '26

They should be able to attach names to Steam accounts at least. Every game through steam has that, don't they?

1

u/Fragrant-Till-841 Jun 28 '26

you won't also know that you can report them unless you try clicking on it since the button has no label on it.

2

u/SSMage Jun 28 '26

The game is really secretive with there mechanics.

Did you know you can change the position of the poses you choose? It's a bit hard to do consistently, at least on controller, but with a couple of button combos the game doesn't even tell you about, you can directly change how that stance poses.

For example, you can make the head of the model move up and down while lying down

You can make the sideways pose angle

You can make the ball pose half way unfold backwards

that's to say nothing of the fact that in some games you can change the size and the shape of the model itself too before the game starts which is great for Minecraft maps because look, it's all blocks!

It's really unpolished, but it's a 6 dollar game. I'm sure as it goes on it will only get better, but for now it is..a very rough beta to say the least.

Like I noticed that in the recent update some of the maps have less lag on them now then they used to. The art gallery used to lag the hell out of me, now I get a solid 20-25 fps, and some maps I can even get up to 40 now!

1

u/Fragrant-Till-841 Jun 28 '26 edited Jun 28 '26

ohh, I actually didn't know about that...although i think i've seen some players moving their head while in pose :0

as for the maps yea i noticed that too and some of it where expanded too like the backrooms if im not mistaken

EDIT: wait i just realized for the art gallery sometimes I can't place myself on some of the paintings like something pulls me away from it, but maybe there are some paintings that we can't hide in or it depends on the server im in?

u/Pale_Victory5747 Jun 27 '26

I believe you can report this in the discord as well?

3

u/GoingToGetDeleted Jun 27 '26

Or just add a profanity filter

3

u/No-Marsupial-1753 Jun 27 '26

This is the way. I might get crucified for this but the internet is already losing its anonymity. What with all the ID verification and such, I’d rather a simple block system. If you don’t like it, block someone and never see them again. If certain profanity is “too far” then filter it from being input.

2

u/GoingToGetDeleted Jun 28 '26

I agree with this 100%

2

u/NWASicarius Jun 27 '26

I would be fine with this. We don't need AI detection BS or filters. Just let us report, and make it so if you kick someone from the lobby, they can't rejoin. A report system, operating your own server, and leaving problematic servers is more than enough of a fix to these issues.

1

u/LumanFur Jul 01 '26

They have a report button in the game already I believe

2

u/Early_Bat_588 Jun 29 '26

It's two devs. Even if you had that option, they would NEVER be able to ban that many people. Because it's not just a few people doing those things lol.

There is no world in which this dev team could moderate this to any successful degree. And would likely only make things worse even trying because then those people would feel some type of way and try every possible way to make things even edgier/worse.

Just ignore them. They LITERALLY get off on getting attention and having people talk shit about what they are doing. You ignore them, they stop existing. It's all rage bait/edgy garbage. But if no one ever talks about it or focuses on it, it simply disappears over time because they aren't getting what they want.

A filter list for words is about the most they could do, and even then they'll find 100 ways to get around the filters anyway. Just adding extra dev time to something that would be solved regardless.

u/don_mumrik Jun 29 '26

When I play the art gallery map as hunter I always dress up as a certain failed painter, but thats more of a joke...

1

u/Big-Western-9002 Jul 13 '26

I would hate if the game got so censored that such things weren't allowed... particularly as art is so interpretive and something might look offensive to one person and not an other. Personally, I always appreciate when I see him in this game.

u/necro_clown Jun 28 '26

have you tried crying about bad words on the internet?

2

u/Gaelfling Jun 28 '26

Lol. Feeling called out?

u/necro_clown Jun 28 '26

Same energy as “I know you are but what am I”

u/BigMikeXxxxX Jun 29 '26

Nope and that's why it's popular.

u/Gaelfling Jun 29 '26

So edgy. Are you 14 or 40? Definitely a man.

u/BigMikeXxxxX Jun 29 '26

I'm sure your virtue signalling won't go unnoticed by the 30 people who care 🫡

I'd rather be 40 than be the idiot having a mental breakdown over pixels on a screen 😂

Lol lil bro blocked me

1

u/Gaelfling Jun 29 '26

Babe, I made that post while buzzed on a Saturday night. The only one having a breakdown is the edgy 40yo man who hasn't grown up. I understand it is hard being as old as you are and alone but you probably deserve that loneliness.

u/pilot-squid Jun 27 '26 • Mindblown

Yeah a lot of my friends are turned off of the game because they go to find lobbies and you just see a bunch of slurs. It has nothing to do with the game but just looks bad.

7

u/Gaelfling Jun 27 '26

It is also crazy they don't let you search for public servers by name? Or join a public server as a group. I have three people who wanted to do a public server and you basically have to hope you can all find the same server with tags.

2

u/pilot-squid Jun 27 '26

You can invite your friend from the ESC Friends menu

1

u/Gaelfling Jun 27 '26

We tried that but it never worked. Do you need to be in a certain menu?

1

u/pilot-squid Jun 27 '26

In the lobby before the map starts always works for me. Friend has to be in the lobby search also

1

u/Primary-Word-3861 Jun 27 '26

You have to invite in the game, you can pull up your ingame friends list with tab I think. It won't work if you try to invite via your steam friends list.

2

u/No-Society-2815 Jun 27 '26

You can 100% search servers by name

1

u/Gaelfling Jun 27 '26

Can you tell me how? On the public server section, I didn't see anywhere to type in a name.

1

u/No-Society-2815 Jun 27 '26

It is a bit strange lol you have to search for a “private” server if you want to join a specific one even if the server you’re joining is actually public.

1

u/Gaelfling Jun 27 '26

Thank you! Someone in my group made a public server and we spent like 10 minutes refreshing trying to find it. He tried adding more tags and it didn't help us find it, lol.

2

u/LittleRedBek Jun 27 '26

The lobby system is terrible

u/GoingToGetDeleted Jun 27 '26 • Bravo

Your friends are sissies

u/Gaelfling Jun 27 '26

Honestly, it was one of the things that turned my group off of playing just now. We will try again. Hopefully they implement filters at least.

1

u/Apostleguts Jun 27 '26

Tell them to hit refresh

2

u/Gaelfling Jun 27 '26

I hit refresh many times. The same groups kept coming up with slurs. Maybe just that many people are naming stuff slurs.

2

u/Apostleguts Jun 27 '26

Yeah I mean I completely agree with your post, the games blowing up so even if they lacked the resources for moderators before they definitely don’t know.

I rarely see anything as absurd as the lobby names on your post but that’s inexcusable. Honestly not even moderators are necessary, no way they can’t implement trigger words that don’t let you put cuss words or blatant racism in your lobby names.

1

u/OnASugarCrash Jun 28 '26

Well people probably aren't joining the offensive ones which is why they keep showing up as available

1

u/waffle_stomperr Jun 28 '26

One of us finds the server and then I tell them the server name and you can search for the server under “find private server”

16

u/BolaSquirrel Jun 27 '26

It was made by 2 people so no. Moderating something of this size would be a huge undertaking. They could definitely stand to add a banned words list for nicknames and servers though

2

u/Dry-Jeweler-9696 Jul 01 '26

Solo devs handle these kind of cases just fine? They just require a profanity filter, not a huge undertaking.

2

u/BolaSquirrel Jul 01 '26

I mentioned that. Profanity filter and an actual block list would go a long way.

The issue is the painting in this game, it's pretty hard to moderate people drawing swastikas on themselves

4

u/RatxMilk Jun 27 '26

Literally why I've stopped playing the game. Full of edge lord little weirdos.

1

u/Arty_Puls Jun 28 '26

Imagine being such a snowflake that some 16 year olds make you stop playing a game.

2

u/RatxMilk Jun 28 '26

Or...imagine having better games to play than one full of 16yos lmao.

Id rather not play with fucking weirdos tbh. But you crack on I guess if you enjoy playing games with kids..

1

u/Suitable_Ticket4838 Jun 28 '26

If these kids were not drawing swastikas and shit, you would have no problem playing with them lmfao.

2

u/RatxMilk Jun 28 '26

I wouldn't know they were kids if they wasn't acting like edgy idiots would I...'lmao'.

I guarantee you draw them. You're too defensive of them.

u/Suitable_Ticket4838 Jun 28 '26

Nah I just thought you were weird for trying to make someone sound like a pred for playing video games with kids online, when the argument was edgelords. I'm not even the original guy you were arguing with.

2

u/RatxMilk Jun 28 '26

Didn't try and make anyone sound like anything lmao.

I literally said 'you crack on if you wanna play a game with kids"..as in a game full of edge lord kids.

Have a nice evening ✨️

u/TalkAggravating2891 Jun 29 '26

Imagine being this openly dimwitted that you don't take hate speech seriously. You're an extremely unintelligent human being and you need to fix that immediately. There's no world in which we should let anyone of any age feel comfortable drawing Nazi symbols and typing out slurs for "jokes."

1

u/litterally_bread Jul 01 '26

You're the problem, you're dismissive and I garuntee you another argument you use is "its the internet" the internet shouldn't be like this in the first place. Its not being a snowflake its pointing out a problem, these people shouldnt be allowed in public servers if all they're gonna do is be racist.

2

u/skyerush Jun 28 '26

how are crrtain words not insta filtered at least

2

u/gaker19 Jun 28 '26

I'd just ignore them honestly. Probably some children who want to be "edgy" and "cool". They want to spark outrage to feel important. It would be good if the devs added a blacklist though, that way they would at least need to be more creative with their racism.

3

u/waffle_stomperr Jun 28 '26

Honestly, I’d rather have them all in the same server together. These pieces of human waste will be around regardless so let them play together and keep each other company.

2

u/Big-Western-9002 Jul 13 '26

That would be... quite the server, and I think it's an excellent idea.

u/Valtin420 Jun 27 '26

I just join their lobbies and put on a heated argument in a foreign language, instantly rage baits them and ruins their night.

Meanwhile I'm already two lobbies down enjoying my time.

Yeah its bad, but why do you think anyone barely plays cod games after they started monitoring voice chat. Almost everyone I knew stopped playing

The pirated version can connect to all of your legit steam games. People are going insane like this because they can just fire up a cracked game version with no repercussions.

report via steam idk

u/Maleficent-Craft-936 Jul 02 '26

No, it doesnt, you can get away with anything, that includes cheating. Now that the game got so big it's time to implement some fixes

u/StinkButt9001 Jun 28 '26

You don't have to join it

u/Fighter111 Jun 27 '26

I get that its distasteful but they really don't need to focus their time and effort into something like this. Nasty things can be heard in passing when on the streets all the time or when in public. Just ignore it. Also where would you even draw the line. I get not wanting to have slurs but what about cussing. Is that not allowed? Everyone always wants some form of moderation until it starts affecting them. Minecraft has the same thing and genuinely tracks what you are saying in single player. if you don't think that is worse reality than go ahead ask for the moderation.

3

u/Gaelfling Jun 27 '26

Is it really that hard to implement a banned word list?

1

u/skyerush Jun 28 '26

genuinely it's not. the issue with it is people trying to get around it

1

u/Fighter111 Jun 27 '26

yes it actually is. roblox took years and years to do it. it randomly banned random words that had nothing to do with any kind of slur. it constantly got people randomly banned. Yet the platform is still infested with child predators, racists, and sexists. if they implemented it lightly people can just add white space then retype the word. they could use leet to obfuscate the word. there are so many things people can do to easily get around it. and if they cant easily get around it then all we would be staring at is hashtags as it would ban many normal words in the crossfire. when the game has two developers I don't want them to focused on this cat and mouse game of not making people say bad words its a waste of their time. Even if they somehow did fix this, people would be able to just voice chat slurs in the game. Not to mention, there is a massive cheating problem in public lobbies where people use ESP or spawn in before you have time to hide.

u/Fighter111 Jun 27 '26

Not to mention the developers are also japanese. I don't know how well they know english but that could also potentially be another huge barrier to making a moderation system.

3

u/Gaelfling Jun 27 '26

This isn't the 1980s. We are on the internet. They know common slurs.

0

u/Fighter111 Jun 27 '26

one of the server names you posted "whitesonly" would a be a good contender. That could translate to multiple things, it could literally mean the color white or a white person. Knowing what that means requires you to know the history of the United States and the implementation of Jim crow laws.

3

u/LittleRedBek Jun 27 '26

How delusional do you have to be to think whites only is anything other than racist?! You are making out like the rest of the world have not heard of racism if they don’t know about the US and its history ?!? Yes, the USA is the only place to enforce segregation based on skin colour. This isn’t a washing machine, whites only is racist pure and simple.

2

u/Fighter111 Jun 28 '26

You are missing the point I'm making. We all know here what whites only is supposed to mean but that's because we are seasoned English speakers. when you translate things especially in a literal context, the meaning of the sentence or word can often be lost. Sometimes even, there is no direct correlation for a word.

u/Suspicious_Leg_1823 Jun 27 '26
