  Jup, way more of these kinds of solutions are needed. But data enters usually add stuff to the water to make it cool better and make it undrinkable. But the whole ordeal just shows water and power is too cheap for these kinds of uses.

  I’d be for dragging the big oil execs to the Hague. Including those from the past 40 years. Crimes against humanity and ecocide.

  Well, the fun should be in some light banter. Someone reported for vile hate speech should get a system wide mute as a warning for some time and if they cannot behave after, take away their chat rights permanent. Why should it be tolerated? And people after that intent on ruining stuff for others, can be banned outright.

  It can all be done on account/license key, IP and hardware ID.

  Community servers did the same. People would just move server and do it again, enter shared banlists.

  Big tech is more than able to fix this issue, they are just not willing. And the lack of consequences for the last decade just made the problem worse.

  Like with corpos thinking the rules don’t apply to them, the whole system and lack of consequences spawn stuff like trump… and in the online “smacktalk” of days gone by has grown into something that needs to be stepped on.

  I used to run around CS with a little spray that had a tent and “no camping sign” to smacktalk the sniping campers in their little corner. That was fun…

  I think that crowd sourcing the stuff should be easy. Hey user xyz you have been added to the mutelists of 50 people now, this means your chat will be monitored by our chat monitoring system more actively. Hey user xyz you have been added to the Blocklist of 50 people, be aware your gameplay will be actively monitored by our systems and further reports could lead to a suspension of your account.

  Etc etc.

  More games should just allow you to disable chat. A friend of mine used to play with a little post-it covering the chat. It allowed him to enjoy the game.

  There is a wide gap between some shit talking and the vile hatred you see people spewing online.

  Telling people to harden up when smack talking their mother or their gameplay might fly… but idlt does not apply when people tell you to kill yourself in Ernest, Harras you outside a game.

  With gaming becoming more mainstream, the tight knit communities playing on curated servers and policed by community admins have been replaced by platforms hosted by big tech and infested by the assholes that used to be too cool for gaming and the basement dwellers that used to be isolated and are now emboldened by their fellow basement dwellers, rednecks, and other generally unlovable people.

  I’m so happy my brain does not allow me to process the chat while I’m playing games. I really have to stop and type something.

  And there I have the rule that if I don’t have anything nice to say I say nothing.

  Helldivers 2 allows me to help out fellow newer Helldivers using voice…

  But the times I have seen examples of the vile stuff people put in chat, I just get sad… very sad… Mostly for the people that think that stuff is anything you can say to someone else.

  Or, these consoles will be made using extremely high tech chips and other parts that can easily double as cockpit displays and flight controllers in missiles.
