"Bullying, bashing, being abused verbally or physically, even though this is Cyber Space should not be tolerated, just like it is not tolerated in Societies around the World!"

I definitely agree with that!

EA and EAC are both members of the Fair Play Alliance, but Kotaku wrote an article where we learnt that EA distributed documents, flowcharts and guidelines to deal with harassment to their Community Managers ONLY mid-March 2019.

This is crazy! They released a Battle Royale game in 2019 (February) without a proper player interactions management and monitoring system. They DO need to fix this ASAP.

What are they to do besides create a reporting system for this?

I don't disagree with you or anything, toxic players are, well....toxic to the game environment. However there is a simple and easy fix for this: mute them.

You can tell fairly early when a teammate is going to be toxic or already is spooling up their tirade. Preemptively mute them.

As for smaller children encountering this. I am not a parent myself but I do have a niece and nephew and if/when they decide to play games I'm going to assume (and strongly suggest) that in game voice be completely turned off. This is the internet after all, and the most vile of behavior takes place here.

Until a decent system is implemented, this is my advice.

    My game is in French and all the accessibility features are unavailable. I can't even call the "Select Datacenter" trick... This sucks.
