EA's Justice and Understanding

First of all, hello everyone. I wish you a good game.

How can we report people who swear on the microphone in the game? I used the voice to text converter. But it does not convert the swearing they say into text. Meaningless words come out. You can say block, but how do we know which player will swear when? We have to block the team at the beginning of every game, but this time it is not a team game. When people get angry for a moment and say bad words in writing, they are reported and banned. Are we supposed to block them after they swear at us? Where is the justice in this?

EA's rules are clear in the photo below. But you do not apply these sanctions. You ignore your own rules and expect other players to comply. Now a few moderators will come and give copy-paste answers like the answers they gave to other players with complaints like this and leave. But the problem will still continue.

I sent countless emails to EA. They responded with automatic emails every time. They said ridiculous sentences like our rules are clear. I say it's ridiculous because it seems childish for people who don't even know their own rules to come to us and say "follow my rules or I'll ban you". I want equality and justice. If I get banned for swearing, then those who swear on the microphone should also get banned.

Note: My English is not good. If there are any mistakes, I apologize.

    You can easily Mute anyone instead of wasting your time going through all this mute is one click it takes literally 1 sec it seems like you want to just report people instead of playing going through all this

    First of all, thank you for your answer. But you did not read the article or did not understand it. I think I have expressed exactly what I want and what I complain about.

    Friends, I am talking about an injustice here and a violation of EA's own rules of behaviour. Please do not just read but also try to understand.🙂

    Hey Frierennnnnnnn​,

    I've addressed this in the other thread you were posting in as well, but just to be clear - you are responsible for any behavior that takes place on your account, including how you choose to respond to someone else being inappropriate or toxic. 

    You can say block, but how do we know which player will swear when? We have to block the team at the beginning of every game, but this time it is not a team game. When people get angry for a moment and say bad words in writing, they are reported and banned. Are we supposed to block them after they swear at us? Where is the justice in this?

    I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Some may wish to block everyone in advance, but you're right that this is a team game and that can hinder your ability to work together. The other option is to block them after they swear at you, yes. That's true whether it's done in voice or text. There is of course no way to know someone is going to be inappropriate until that action occurs, again regardless of whether it is in voice or text.

    That means that any action we take will be reactive. Until we're living in the world of Minority Report, we cannot know ahead of time who will be toxic or inappropriate, we can only take action after they've decided to use that type of language. This is again true for both voice chat and text. 

    I would always suggest reporting and then muting, in that order. That way they're brought to our attention and you don't have to continue listening to them while we investigate. If there's anything additional you would like to include with a report, whether that's a recording, screenshot, or just more information about what was said, you can always use this form as well. You can use this form even if they're just in voice chat.

    We take all forms of harassment extremely seriously. You cannot control what someone else says, but you can control the way you respond to keep your own account safe while bringing them to our attention.

    Ohhh Mako, you keep reverting the core issue onto the players defending themselves to toxicity. You keep playing with words and sharing useless forms, to which EA admits within their own replies via email to reports saying THEY DO NOT MONITOR VOICE CHAT!

    Being toxic towards toxic players is not defending yourself, it is letting yourself get baited into breaking the rules.

    It is just sad that players let this happen to themselves and do not understand that they are then also breaking the rules.

    The best way to defend oneself from Toxic players is to ignore them, mute them and report them.

    You're welcome to defend yourself, absolutely. If that includes inappropriate language, you'll also be held responsible for the way in which you choose to defend yourself.

    You are responsible for what you say in chat and how you react to others. 

  • So you are saying; You can also say bad words on the microphone. According to EA rules, harassment is forbidden, but we do not have a ban against the microphone.

    I also know that blocking is a solution. I want equality and justice here. You are still telling me to block etc. EA has nothing to do either. All EA accounts of those who write bad words in a moment of anger are banned. They cannot play online games. They have to open a new account and buy games. This is also a usurpation. It is a shame and sad. It is a shame for EA.

    I will not comment on this topic anymore. I am bored. Goodbye.

    Not at all what I've said, Frierennnnnnnn​

    If there's anything additional you would like to include with a report, whether that's a recording, screenshot, or just more information about what was said, you can always use this form as well. You can use this form even if they're just in voice chat.

    Take care, locking the thread here as there's really not more to be said on the matter.

    If and when our reporting options expand or improve in the future, we'll definitely be sure to let everyone know.
