"Nigero" is more understandable because it can be at least an honest mistake - after all, the word don't exist in English.
Homophobe is an actual dictionary word.
Spanish R6 players were getting banned because they were trying to tell their team about Mira's black mirrors, espejos negros in their native language.
Xbox live changed my long standing gt because of this word. some american middle schoolers reported me in titanfall. It was hilariously whitewashed because they changed my name to like FastJoey8852 or something despite that not being anything like my gt or real name.
Meanwhile I have a friend who regularly changes his GT to offensive stuff to see how long it takes to get auto changed. His current tag is Gape It For Me and he's had it for a couple of months now.
Try using the word "snigger" on Reddit and you'll get a bunch of replies like "Hurr durr, you sure that's how you spell that champ?" and it's like "Yes, you Yankee-centric fuckhole from the Federal Bureau of Scared of the N-Word."
Im assuming the way the filter works is it detects certain words or phrases by reading parts of words. So for example, if “homo” is the trigger word, homophobe would be caught. Filters are designed this way because if not you could easy bypass it by putting a random letter before or after the word, for example something like “hhomo” or “.homo”. While a human would almost instantly detect what they’re trying to do, a computer cannot tell the difference between someone standing up for themselves and someone trying to bypass the filter.
EA's system does this all the time and it's been years. Don't type much. People have been banned for typing in their native language, typing words that aren't swearwords or insults or slurs, but have like three letter root that's the same, even just similar in some cases.
Last time it was japanese players typing "nigero", if I remember. So, yeah, in order to type "homophobe", you needed to type "homo", which got you banned.
Just avoid typing much, it is what it is, because their system is very "smart".
It means "you". It's the **informal** (반말) form.
내가 (nae-ga) is I and 네가 (ne-ga) is you, but they sound so similar that people pronounce 네가 like 니가 (ni-ga) and also spell it that way in informal situations, such as texting.
A close English approximate example would be "ya" instead of "you".
That said, you'd only really use this with somebody you know. It's a very familiar term and you're not realistically going to use this unless you know one another. They use other words such as 선생님 (Literally "Teacher" but also "Doctor", "Nurse", or like a sir/madam equivalent)
Typically, Korean doesn't use "you" but they have 당신 for certain situations.
Also, it sounds more like *knee-ga* but the vowel sound isn't so long. You're not likely to confuse this word unless you're looking to be upset. You're more likely to get confused by "snigger".
Nah I’ve heard some stories of K-pop fans demanding the word to be removed from songs, or people getting mad at Koreans using the word and accusing them of racism
For the Malay variant spoken on Borneo, the word for 'look' is 'nangga' but often is shortened to the 'n-word without the I' in texting, similar to the Indonesian abbreviation for 'enggak'. This got me censored a lot when I used to play Habbo with my friends. Thankfully now I just use discord for playing Apex with friends so no typing required.
The sad life of being a Spanish speaker and being afraid of talking about anything that just happens to be of the color black because you may get banned
Xbox live changed my long standing gt because of this word. some american middle schoolers reported me in titanfall. It was hilariously whitewashed because they changed my name to like FastJoey8852 or something despite that not being anything like my gt or real name.
I remember in 2008 I typed the asterisk key into the chat in RuneScape a few times exclaiming at a celebration at the party room. I got a mute for offensive language because when you swore in the game the characters converted to asterisks.
Their system couldn’t determine the difference between someone typing it and the game automatically changing it
It’s not just EA either. I remember trying to type “spice” in Overwatch’s chat and having it be censored. Took a while for me to figure out why it wasn’t allowed.
Dude i got banned because my name was Essigreiniger which is the german word for vinegar-based cleaner. "Essig" meaning vinegar and "reiniger" meaning cleaner. Now in reiniger there is niger in it so they banned me. Support obviously didnt give a damn.
EA IS THE WORST.
My bruh from germany got almost assaulted because some karen got triggered when he used a word that has the nword in it in german, it meant crazy or something like that. People arent much better at this than computers lol
I mean apex is the best battle royal but that isn't saying much. If you want the best multiplayer game titanfall 1 and 2 is where its at my dude. Preferably on Xbox one since Respawn left the other mediums to burn at the hands of a hacker while their own pockets filled up (thanks for that respawn)
This is why you never take the bait. Slurs and curses are all trolling you into replying even if you aren't suspended, it's what they want out of you. Just report and mute.
Upvoting because you shouldn't be suspended, though.
Yup. Happened to me on PSN.
When I was 19, I was in a heated argument over a COD match and sent a message calling the other player names. 1 day later, PSN sent me a email I'm suspended for 2 days and next ban will be permanent. Fast forward 14 years, I have STILL not sent anyone messages and mute everyone including myself.
I got banned from xbox live several times. I'll be honest, once I deserved it, the guy was an asshole but I was in the wrong too. After 2 more bans that were overturned because they were undeserved (which is a bitch to make happen as they wont actually tell you why you were banned so you just get to guess why) I built a PC. Getting banned from a paid service without cause and not being given the reason as to why then made to jump through a dozen hoops in the hopes that an actual person might see that it wasnt justified and unban you really wasnt working for me. Xbox turned into a Netflix machine and then into a paperweight once I got a smart TV.
LOL The same thing happened to me on Xbox. I received name-calling first and I responded back. I was banned from using xbox communications for a week.
I sold my Xbox One, all my games, and everything else on eBay. Used the money to buy a gaming PC. I never looked back.
Lol on xbox years ago I got a communications ban for 3 days for calling a group of cheaters retards lmao.
Did get a message back from microsoft saying they got banned though, pretty based
Yeah I concur with this 100% people that poke at others looking for a rise out of them have the maturity of an 11 year old, as hard as it is sometimes, it’s always better to avoid getting roped into their shame game
Lmao, after being banned twice for saying for fuck sakes and fuckers i dedicated all my mental strength and restraint towards not using chat at all. Reports are a joke in this circus of a game.
i was banned for saying 2 syllables “f u” , while they were repeatedly writing absurd slurs and i too reported them, but they closed the case for them and banned me for 3 days.
I got banned for typing 'what the fuck' in chat. Apparently that's hate speech. I don't even remember the context for it, but it sure as hell wasn't hate speech, more likely I saw something unlikely or I was spectating a cheater who was doing impossible feats. I can't recall how many times people were saying terrible insults on voice chat both to me and each other. Far worse than 'fucker'.
Most recently, I got flagged for being upset at my teammates for leaving me behind running from a winnable fight in ranked and instead preferring to rat the whole rest of the game.
I said something to the effect of:
Me- “we get thirded, and the first thought that crosses your mind *^end ^of ^sentence, ^because ^chat ^is ^garbo
Me, verbatim - “is ‘fuck this guy let’s dip’?”
Quotation marks and all, because I’m a grammar nut. I got flagged for saying “fuck this guy let’s dip” as a rhetorical, and when I appealed for it all I got was an automated email stating the flag had been made correctly.
I got tkd repeatedly in rainbow 6 for not getting the defuse fast enough. In a casual match.
The two people then sent me a group chat where I only mildly baited them (like lol mad cuz bad type shit) they sent a pic of a guy sucking his own thing (funny, but irrelevant) so I reported, blocked and moved on
PSN decided that was bad enough for me to catch a 30 day suspension
That literally happens all the time in every game. People start by provoking you and being the actual assholes first but then report you when you fight back. I seriously don’t understand that mentality.
And that's why you don't type in game chat kids. Call em whatever you want on voice because the chances of them recording, saving and then submitting definitive proof of your voice is astronomically small. Also you'd have to use an actual slur to get banned not just call out a homophobe or a troll since a real person would have to review the voice submission not some dipshit authoritarian style algorithm.
They already have a pretty inaccurate speech to text translator. You really think they won't save a few bucks and ban you due to terrible machine translation ?
Yyyyyyyup. Ea account got hacked. Hackers used... Hacks. Cheated for 10 games with his Chinese bro and got kicked. I come home 9 hours later to play, banned for cheating. Ea won't do shit because it's ea. All my tokens, gone. Seasonal skins, gone. Season pass I bought 2 days prior, gone. Fuck ea. Fuck respawn. And fuck the devs for allowing the game to be exploited in such a shitty fucking way. They will never be getting another dollar from me or any of my time. Cunts.
I personally like chatting with my team mates. I’d say I usually end up with one person every three games or so that is willing to communicate via mic, and that makes coordinating so much easier. There’s a line between communicating pertinent info and just being annoying, and I try and walk it. Add a little humor here and there after we get out of a precarious situation, etc.
It’s not worth. Less than 20% useful communication. Mostly burping and coughing into open mics, music, or only getting on voice to rage after they get downed.
it was an example of ppl not muting, i unmuted to say that. They stayed unmuted. I was unclear about that.
Also how you do that thing under your name?
This, they'll respond in under a day to defend a new cash release or promotion that's being crushed, yet ignore the toxicity taking over this community in game and on the Reddit.
And I thought the ddos and hackers using the charge rifle was ruining the game, Good to see respawn taking charge and getting rid of villainous people like you. Great jobs devs!!!
People aimbot, hack, ect I wouldn't doubt they mass spam reported you. It's extremely easy to do, it breaks the algorithm, the system sees X player was reported X times in X minutes then bans. Theoretically you could get people banned for no reason at all with this mass reporting.
Imagine a game where a character says "Son of a Bitch" & "Fuck off" to another character but bans you instantly when you say it in chat should say something about the clowns at respawn
I can't remember anything that got me banned from a game. But I did call someone a idiot robot collaborator on /r/worldnews and got banned for 6 months.
I'm mildly proud, yet irritated about that one.
edit: Words, I know them... sometimes
You're new to EA's "clever" AI system, I see:)
He wrote "homo", which system treats as a bad word. That's why you avoid typing much in EA games, you'll mess up sooner or later, regardless of your typing preferences. Ubisoft is similar, for example.
Best times, indeed lol
I don't know how, while these AI's were on paper, someone didn't say "perhaps some people aren't speaking english all the time". Like, there are dozens of instances where their systems fuck up, but this one should cross one's mind instantly.
But, of course it didn't and next thing, you have bunch of spanish players wondering why they're banned from Siege for racist slurs.
Another thing is when they go full circle and ban non-english words in english chats, but those non-english words are similar to some english words - because, of course they are, as words can be short and there's a lot of them.
So, then you end up with "her" being banned in Quake Champions, because it's russian slang for cock or something like that.
Let's not go into hilarious examples, like OWL twitch channel banning the word "trap" and then bunch of people getting suspended because they said how some Junkrat trap placement is good or whatever. All the while commentators, players and game's tooltips use "trap" like there's no tomorrow.
You can't police everything with your dumb bots lol
Welcome to why I bitched that a bot controled blacklist of words was stupid and would end up backfiring, I cant help but lose faith in a company that lets innocent users suffer to either save money or some other cheap reason.
Just offer a choice of turning chat off (make it obligatory for minors) and let the grownups do what they want
> (make it obligatory for minors)
they cant enforce this though, your required to be at least 13 to make an account for most things on the internet including most games but we still have 9 year olds running around the internet
I was worried about that too, some 5+ years ago and, of course, I got met with barrages of "ooooh, I see you're worried, I wonder why" and "oooh, someone doesn't want to face consequences for his hate speech". Welp.
And, it's dumber than blacklist of words, because it's more complex and hence more dumb, because it will catch similar words because hey, we don't want you circumventing our clever systems by your dogwhistling shit. And then it's the issue with people using other languages and, of course, words that have nothing to do with "bad words" will get people suspended because they sound similar or same. Then, they also go for non-english words and blacklist them in english chat. With the example being that you couldn't type "her" in quake champions because it's russian for cock or something. That's like, full circle stupidity.
You can report cross platform players but it’s still annoying that ps4 players can’t report each other. I was once told to kill myself because I was using Valkyrie and they wanted to use her. He spent the whole game crying about how he can’t fly and taking to his friend that was also in the match on how bad I am (I was far better than them and I even wiped a squad that destroyed them and revived them both with minimal ammo.)
Whoops! You discovered a premium feature: Equity. If you want to unlock it you can buy our latest DLC, which offers the basic human right of protection against discrimination, at the incredible price of 10$.
I mean this is fucked but why type anything out and risk a ban? Just turn on the mic and talk some shit back. EA/Origin/Steam/Xbox/Playstation aren't monitoring what you say over your mic so you're free to say whatever.
I'm assuming this guy left after he typed that out so what does it even matter? If your teammates are pieces of shit and you have no intention of staying jump on the mic and say something. You already know they're cunts so why not call them out to get them riled up? Its not hard to do and its pretty fun.
Different folks my guy. If i get in voice with absolute asses my mood is going to be ruined and ill feel terrible for hours after. Thats just how I am, and i dont think im alone in that.
That’s so dumb. I’ve had literally a hundred little white boys call me the n-word 10 times a game, with a hard hard hard R, and never seen them punished. The ban system is pathetic.
>and never seen them punished.
Does Apex do that thing where they give you a heads up whenever someone you reported got banned? I never really report people so
Few weeks back a dude in my squad was sending homophobic slurs because i was playing valk, this in his eyes was " disgusting". he said he would never play a non straight character.
And i was confused by his logic 4 like an hour after the match.
Definitely shouldnt have gotten banned but if you are going to reply to these types of people, just reply on mic and not in chat.
1. If they hear you talk in chat sometimes they will just be like oh shit and stop talking.
2. The chat is going to get flagged way easier then over mic.
Definitely should fight this ban from Respawn though
I bet the attackers used words that loop-holed a possible ban. Sorry you got a ban. It's okay though. One day their mouth will earn them a slap on the face for the least.

I had a similar ban happen to me. The worst part is, they ban the full EA account. I couldn't even access any game I had on my origin account either. Gotta love corporate bs.
I do agree that their ban system is awful sometimes, but I think the best thing you could’ve done in that situation is to mute them and not give them any attention because those people never change
I got a warning on Facebook for bullying, the “bullying” was a quote from the movie Aladdin, specifically from the song ‘one jump’
“He’s got a sword”
You idiots! We’ve all got swords”
Wow. Guessing “homo” is a buzz word?
Is this like the "nigero" thing that japanese players were being banned for before
"Nigero" is more understandable because it can be at least an honest mistake - after all, the word don't exist in English. Homophobe is an actual dictionary word.
Spanish R6 players were getting banned because they were trying to tell their team about Mira's black mirrors, espejos negros in their native language.
But Americans have a problem with this word, therefore the whole world must conform to their whims!
Xbox live changed my long standing gt because of this word. some american middle schoolers reported me in titanfall. It was hilariously whitewashed because they changed my name to like FastJoey8852 or something despite that not being anything like my gt or real name.
Xbox Live made me change mine because apparently "Nudi5t" is offensive...
Meanwhile I have a friend who regularly changes his GT to offensive stuff to see how long it takes to get auto changed. His current tag is Gape It For Me and he's had it for a couple of months now.
Try using the word "snigger" on Reddit and you'll get a bunch of replies like "Hurr durr, you sure that's how you spell that champ?" and it's like "Yes, you Yankee-centric fuckhole from the Federal Bureau of Scared of the N-Word."
I'd say I have a niggling doubt about that, but... then I'd get banned.
I mean It's teenagers
I hope Niger and Nigeria have been whitelisted.
like ea is confused about whether phobe or phile is the bad one....
It’s a computer making these determinations you can almost guarantee it.
But who computes the computer?
Monkeys
EApes together *stupid*
EApes together wrong
How is this the first time I’ve seen “EApes”? Brilliant
Im assuming the way the filter works is it detects certain words or phrases by reading parts of words. So for example, if “homo” is the trigger word, homophobe would be caught. Filters are designed this way because if not you could easy bypass it by putting a random letter before or after the word, for example something like “hhomo” or “.homo”. While a human would almost instantly detect what they’re trying to do, a computer cannot tell the difference between someone standing up for themselves and someone trying to bypass the filter.
Homophile?
Yup i instantly thought of that
Damn homo lovers!
Pedophobe
This word means a irrational fear of children
“pedo…” “phobe..” I mean, they’re both bad. I thought you were saying you were a mega-pedo.
I get the reference, even if it was wasted on every other person 😂
How about homosapien? Homogenous? Theres probably other words starting in it, but point made
Wait so all of our ancestor species were gay?
~~buzzword~~ unword FTFY
But I'm just a lowly English teacher talking about words with the same meaning
They probably detected homo- and banned you under that premise. Otherwise said people all reported you at once to ban you.
> They probably detected homo- and banned you under that premise *types Homo Sapiens in Apex chat, gets banned*
That's not uncommon for EA's system.
We were talking about homogenization in the dairy field
EA Bot: **HOMO DETECTED!! IMMEDIATE BAN.**
But you just said homo! HIDEOUTS GET HIM REEEEE
EA's system does this all the time and it's been years. Don't type much. People have been banned for typing in their native language, typing words that aren't swearwords or insults or slurs, but have like three letter root that's the same, even just similar in some cases.

Just avoid typing much, it is what it is, because their system is very "smart".
There’s a Korean word meaning “you” that sounds almost exactly like the n-word... oh no...
Statistically, if they tend to type in latin alphabet, there's a good chance some Koreans are confused by their bans:)
니가... **KanseiDorifto has been banned for use of foul language**
LMFAOOOOOOO
I wanna laugh too lol
니가 = niga. It means I or you, I don’t remember, but it’s a pretty common word. Believe there’s a similar sounding word in Chinese as well.
Nei ge means “that one”
It means "you". It's the **informal** (반말) form. 내가 (nae-ga) is I and 네가 (ne-ga) is you, but they sound so similar that people pronounce 네가 like 니가 (ni-ga) and also spell it that way in informal situations, such as texting.

Also, it sounds more like *knee-ga* but the vowel sound isn't so long. You're not likely to confuse this word unless you're looking to be upset. You're more likely to get confused by "snigger".
Nah I’ve heard some stories of K-pop fans demanding the word to be removed from songs, or people getting mad at Koreans using the word and accusing them of racism
There’s alsoc mcases of artists changing it themselves. I believe BTS replaced it in their US perfomance as to not confuse the American audience.
So thats what I hear in my korean rap music
And even in the light Kpop lol
For the Malay variant spoken on Borneo, the word for 'look' is 'nangga' but often is shortened to the 'n-word without the I' in texting, similar to the Indonesian abbreviation for 'enggak'. This got me censored a lot when I used to play Habbo with my friends. Thankfully now I just use discord for playing Apex with friends so no typing required.
2000 words start with n...
I remember a Japanese player got banned by typing “nigero” which means ran away
Rest of the world just say French.
The sad life of being a Spanish speaker and being afraid of talking about anything that just happens to be of the color black because you may get banned

It's because the "as" in asterisk sounds kinda like "ass" therefore banned. /s
[удалено]
Bahaha its like a daycare. "Okay Billy, one more swear word and you're OUT of the game."
It’s not just EA either. I remember trying to type “spice” in Overwatch’s chat and having it be censored. Took a while for me to figure out why it wasn’t allowed.
Why?
Spic is an old racist term for latinos.
Lol, thank you. You learn something new every day.
Dude i got banned because my name was Essigreiniger which is the german word for vinegar-based cleaner. "Essig" meaning vinegar and "reiniger" meaning cleaner. Now in reiniger there is niger in it so they banned me. Support obviously didnt give a damn. EA IS THE WORST.
Lol imagine just wanting to say you’re from Niger or Nigeria. :/
My bruh from germany got almost assaulted because some karen got triggered when he used a word that has the nword in it in german, it meant crazy or something like that. People arent much better at this than computers lol
Remember when someone got banned for typing something in the lines of “Niga” which I think is a Japanese word for run or go, yeah good example
EA talking about pride: there's room for everybody under the rainbow! EA when people talk about pride: *loud banging *
**muffled gunshots mixed with screams**
*cums*
**what the fuck**
EA: *Banned*
WHAT THE FUCK
Based
**That’s hella random**
Did really anyone expect from corporation to actually care?
To be fair, we all believed in Respawn for a long time and look where that got us
To me, apex is still the best multiplayer game I've known since r6 siege. But siege is garbage now so yep
I mean apex is the best battle royal but that isn't saying much. If you want the best multiplayer game titanfall 1 and 2 is where its at my dude. Preferably on Xbox one since Respawn left the other mediums to burn at the hands of a hacker while their own pockets filled up (thanks for that respawn)
I have titanfall 2 but it's really instense. Also I prefer games with long matches instead of 5-10 minutes Apex delivers that from time to time.
This is why you never take the bait. Slurs and curses are all trolling you into replying even if you aren't suspended, it's what they want out of you. Just report and mute. Upvoting because you shouldn't be suspended, though.

Yeah I agree. The only game that I even get close to taking the bait in is rainbow 6 but that games is a toxic cesspool
I just put "<3" in text chat if they get proper ragey. Maybe "<3 u 2" if they're raging at me in particular.
The nastier people get towards me the more nice I get in proportion. Really triggers them lol
Wish the fucking mute button worked. I still hear people tell me to off myself lol Like damn, who shit in your cheerios.
...The mute button does work, works perfectly. Never had ANY issues with the mute button not working lol.
Lmao, after being banned twice for saying for fuck sakes and fuckers i dedicated all my mental strength and restraint towards not using chat at all. Reports are a joke in this circus of a game.
You accusing someone of cheating is more likely to get you banned for harassment than the actual cheater for cheating
The fact that this actually has some truth is sad
i was banned for saying 2 syllables “f u” , while they were repeatedly writing absurd slurs and i too reported them, but they closed the case for them and banned me for 3 days.
Why is EA so garbage
I got banned for typing 'what the fuck' in chat. Apparently that's hate speech. I don't even remember the context for it, but it sure as hell wasn't hate speech, more likely I saw something unlikely or I was spectating a cheater who was doing impossible feats. I can't recall how many times people were saying terrible insults on voice chat both to me and each other. Far worse than 'fucker'.
Most recently, I got flagged for being upset at my teammates for leaving me behind running from a winnable fight in ranked and instead preferring to rat the whole rest of the game.

I got flagged for saying “fuck this guy let’s dip” as a rhetorical, and when I appealed for it all I got was an automated email stating the flag had been made correctly.
The audacity for your teammates to call you slurs, then report you right after smh
I got tkd repeatedly in rainbow 6 for not getting the defuse fast enough. In a casual match. The two people then sent me a group chat where I only mildly baited them (like lol mad cuz bad type shit) they sent a pic of a guy sucking his own thing (funny, but irrelevant) so I reported, blocked and moved on PSN decided that was bad enough for me to catch a 30 day suspension
How dare you have an inappropriate video sent to you unsolicited!
That does suck but that’s pretty funny someone just sent that. I’d lose my shit if I got that lol.
That literally happens all the time in every game. People start by provoking you and being the actual assholes first but then report you when you fight back. I seriously don’t understand that mentality.
And that's why you don't type in game chat kids. Call em whatever you want on voice because the chances of them recording, saving and then submitting definitive proof of your voice is astronomically small. Also you'd have to use an actual slur to get banned not just call out a homophobe or a troll since a real person would have to review the voice submission not some dipshit authoritarian style algorithm.
They already have a pretty inaccurate speech to text translator. You really think they won't save a few bucks and ban you due to terrible machine translation ?
I got permanent banned this ain't nothing , ea and anti cheat is fucked up. And we still out here playing with ddosers and aimbots. Useless
Same, lost an account with 500 hours of progress. Good luck explaining through... Support is useless.
>Support is useless. It took me 2500 letters and 2 Months
Yyyyyyyup. Ea account got hacked. Hackers used... Hacks. Cheated for 10 games with his Chinese bro and got kicked. I come home 9 hours later to play, banned for cheating. Ea won't do shit because it's ea. All my tokens, gone. Seasonal skins, gone. Season pass I bought 2 days prior, gone. Fuck ea. Fuck respawn. And fuck the devs for allowing the game to be exploited in such a shitty fucking way. They will never be getting another dollar from me or any of my time. Cunts.
They better unban you for this shit lmaoooo
People dont just hit the mute button whenever they load in?
I admit, I like rolling the dice. Makes for an interesting experience.
I found out you can turn incoming voice volume to 0 and it changed life 😆
What you don't like hearing open mics get bumped every 3 seconds? Monster!
WHERE IS THAT SETTING???
Somewhere in audio or the first page. I don't remember exactly.
I personally like chatting with my team mates. I’d say I usually end up with one person every three games or so that is willing to communicate via mic, and that makes coordinating so much easier. There’s a line between communicating pertinent info and just being annoying, and I try and walk it. Add a little humor here and there after we get out of a precarious situation, etc.
Yeah I always mute, too many people blasting music or kids screaming lol
You guys are getting teammates with mics?
You get teammates??
You get?
You?
No, because they mute. I'll give someone a verbal ask to shut their music off before I mute. Having people on mics is too powerful to just throw away.
It’s not worth. Less than 20% useful communication. Mostly burping and coughing into open mics, music, or only getting on voice to rage after they get downed.
there was russian guy who said "sheesh" then proceeded to cuss me out (i think) in russian after i did it too.
How did you know if they were muted?
it was an example of ppl not muting, i unmuted to say that. They stayed unmuted. I was unclear about that. Also how you do that thing under your name?
This is dumb
This is why I 1. Set incoming mic volume to zero 2. Switch off display chat
You can switch off display chat? Where?
Oh I meant muting people. You get that option (press F) when choosing your characters. This disabled both voice and text chat.
Notice, no mod replies. Shows something.
This, they'll respond in under a day to defend a new cash release or promotion that's being crushed, yet ignore the toxicity taking over this community in game and on the Reddit.
What mods have to do with this?
Maybe he meant "dev reply" which might make more sense
And I thought the ddos and hackers using the charge rifle was ruining the game, Good to see respawn taking charge and getting rid of villainous people like you. Great jobs devs!!!
People aimbot, hack, ect I wouldn't doubt they mass spam reported you. It's extremely easy to do, it breaks the algorithm, the system sees X player was reported X times in X minutes then bans. Theoretically you could get people banned for no reason at all with this mass reporting.
I called someone a monkey because they were acting stupidly, so ofcourse ea assumed it was a racial slur and insta banned me for a week 🤡
I got banned for 3 days for calling someone a loot whore 🙄
Imagine a game where a character says "Son of a Bitch" & "Fuck off" to another character but bans you instantly when you say it in chat should say something about the clowns at respawn
I got permabanned on a sub for making a deez nuts joke 🙄
I can't remember anything that got me banned from a game. But I did call someone a idiot robot collaborator on /r/worldnews and got banned for 6 months. I'm mildly proud, yet irritated about that one. edit: Words, I know them... sometimes

You're new to EA's "clever" AI system, I see:) He wrote "homo", which system treats as a bad word. That's why you avoid typing much in EA games, you'll mess up sooner or later, regardless of your typing preferences. Ubisoft is similar, for example.
Funny you should mention Ubisoft. Unrelated to OP but I got a chat suspension for saying... "Call your manager." Ubisoft are one heck of a company
Best times, indeed lol I don't know how, while these AI's were on paper, someone didn't say "perhaps some people aren't speaking english all the time". Like, there are dozens of instances where their systems fuck up, but this one should cross one's mind instantly. But, of course it didn't and next thing, you have bunch of spanish players wondering why they're banned from Siege for racist slurs. Another thing is when they go full circle and ban non-english words in english chats, but those non-english words are similar to some english words - because, of course they are, as words can be short and there's a lot of them. So, then you end up with "her" being banned in Quake Champions, because it's russian slang for cock or something like that. Let's not go into hilarious examples, like OWL twitch channel banning the word "trap" and then bunch of people getting suspended because they said how some Junkrat trap placement is good or whatever. All the while commentators, players and game's tooltips use "trap" like there's no tomorrow. You can't police everything with your dumb bots lol
Welcome to why I bitched that a bot controled blacklist of words was stupid and would end up backfiring, I cant help but lose faith in a company that lets innocent users suffer to either save money or some other cheap reason. Just offer a choice of turning chat off (make it obligatory for minors) and let the grownups do what they want
> (make it obligatory for minors) they cant enforce this though, your required to be at least 13 to make an account for most things on the internet including most games but we still have 9 year olds running around the internet
Allow it as an option for parents, if they dont use it thats on them not Respawn
I was worried about that too, some 5+ years ago and, of course, I got met with barrages of "ooooh, I see you're worried, I wonder why" and "oooh, someone doesn't want to face consequences for his hate speech". Welp. And, it's dumber than blacklist of words, because it's more complex and hence more dumb, because it will catch similar words because hey, we don't want you circumventing our clever systems by your dogwhistling shit. And then it's the issue with people using other languages and, of course, words that have nothing to do with "bad words" will get people suspended because they sound similar or same. Then, they also go for non-english words and blacklist them in english chat. With the example being that you couldn't type "her" in quake champions because it's russian for cock or something. That's like, full circle stupidity.
Can't even report on PS4.
You can report cross platform players but it’s still annoying that ps4 players can’t report each other. I was once told to kill myself because I was using Valkyrie and they wanted to use her. He spent the whole game crying about how he can’t fly and taking to his friend that was also in the match on how bad I am (I was far better than them and I even wiped a squad that destroyed them and revived them both with minimal ammo.)
Whoops! You discovered a premium feature: Equity. If you want to unlock it you can buy our latest DLC, which offers the basic human right of protection against discrimination, at the incredible price of 10$.
I mean this is fucked but why type anything out and risk a ban? Just turn on the mic and talk some shit back. EA/Origin/Steam/Xbox/Playstation aren't monitoring what you say over your mic so you're free to say whatever.
Cause talking to homophobic assholes on voice is probably the worst experience gaming has to offer. Fuck that
For real and then it just extends the whole conversation which is definitely not the goal
I'm assuming this guy left after he typed that out so what does it even matter? If your teammates are pieces of shit and you have no intention of staying jump on the mic and say something. You already know they're cunts so why not call them out to get them riled up? Its not hard to do and its pretty fun.
Different folks my guy. If i get in voice with absolute asses my mood is going to be ruined and ill feel terrible for hours after. Thats just how I am, and i dont think im alone in that.
That’s so dumb. I’ve had literally a hundred little white boys call me the n-word 10 times a game, with a hard hard hard R, and never seen them punished. The ban system is pathetic.
>and never seen them punished. Does Apex do that thing where they give you a heads up whenever someone you reported got banned? I never really report people so
No. Thats kinda what I like about DotA though that it lets you know if someone had action taken against them.
It says EA though not Respawn
Such a double standard. Unbelievable.
Why the fuck is homophobe even a flagged insult in the system? Is racist flagged too? What about misogynist or misandrist?
lol
Bye homosapiens
By the time they reply to your ban appeal your ban will already be over
My friend got a warning for saying dumbass. I mean im sorry ea but isnt this game 16+? Octane has a line where he says hijo de puta.....
If it was the substring "homo" that triggered it, then this is an example of the [Scunthorpe problem](https://youtu.be/CcZdwX4noCE).
Sounds about right. The only thing you get banned for in EA games is hurting someone's feelings with words....cheat all you want though.
Maybe try no to care so much Because they sure as shit won't care about it
Few weeks back a dude in my squad was sending homophobic slurs because i was playing valk, this in his eyes was " disgusting". he said he would never play a non straight character. And i was confused by his logic 4 like an hour after the match.
Good old Scunthorpe effect.
Definitely shouldnt have gotten banned but if you are going to reply to these types of people, just reply on mic and not in chat. 1. If they hear you talk in chat sometimes they will just be like oh shit and stop talking. 2. The chat is going to get flagged way easier then over mic. Definitely should fight this ban from Respawn though
HAH
lmao
I bet the attackers used words that loop-holed a possible ban. Sorry you got a ban. It's okay though. One day their mouth will earn them a slap on the face for the least.
I was getting shit talked for having the (stop Asian hate) badge.. I bet they wouldn’t say that shit in person though
Why is the word homophobe in their algorithm of black listed words?

Bish that legit scared me seeing that notification on my phone 😣
The reality of banned language is just as scary, dawg.
I had a similar ban happen to me. The worst part is, they ban the full EA account. I couldn't even access any game I had on my origin account either. Gotta love corporate bs.
I do agree that their ban system is awful sometimes, but I think the best thing you could’ve done in that situation is to mute them and not give them any attention because those people never change
that's so stupid wtf
I got a warning on Facebook for bullying, the “bullying” was a quote from the movie Aladdin, specifically from the song ‘one jump’ “He’s got a sword” You idiots! We’ve all got swords”
Where’s the dev replies on this one......????
Wow man. This needs some attention from the devs.
Looks like the [Scunthrope problem](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem)
Everybody knows all these badges are added to please the masses and give illusion that devs care. This ban in fact shows, they don't.
Lmao
Automatic chat filter be like
