Why Dismiss Sexual Chat Harassment?
I reported a player in Battlefield 6 for blatant sexual harassment during a match in team chat. He made repeated crude, sexually explicit comments directly about a family member, including descriptiv...

Yeah, spot on. If moderation literally depends on 'whoever's mood' that day, then it's not real enforcement; it's random, biased and completely unfair.
Slurs get hammered instantly with 1-week (or permanent) bans because they're auto-flagged, but targeted sexual degradation like implying someone's mum is performing oral sex under the desk? Straight 'no action taken', even though it violates Section 6 of the User Agreement and the Positive Play Charter (abusive/harassing/sexually explicit content). There is no doubt in what I say. I have read it multiple times.
This selective cr*p makes the whole 'positive play' promise feel like total lip service. Players shouldn't have to roll the dice on whether harassment gets ignored due to backlog, mood, or whatever. The rules exist for a reason. Enforce them equally across the board, or admit the system's broken. Which then in turn warrants investigation within the company. It's 2026. There are rules that need to be followed, as we know very well. Multiple companies as big as EA adhere to such benchmarks. What message does this send to female players? That they are not safe within the game as males can easily ridicule them without any repercussion? I genuinely ask.
If an EA mod finds this acceptable, well, I do not. I respect women and there is no excuse for such behaviour within the community. Find better insults. Ones targeting me, or my comments. Do not degrade the opposite Sex, especially someone's family when you do not even know them or have any tangency with said persons.
Furthermore, if I said anything like that at work, on the street, or to a woman in real life, I'd be facing serious consequences. Sanctions, firing, or worse, because it's textbook sexual harassment. EA claims to protect players (including women) from this stuff, so why the massive double standard? Rules need strict, consistent application, not loose interpretation depending on the moderator's perception.
It's eroding trust in the community fast these sort of decisions
I'm sorry, but this isn't good enough.
It's a game whenever you feel like it you can turn off the chat box with a single push of a button "H" and you can also mute all voices. Nobody is forced to be "harrassed" as people call it here. We play a videogame, you people don't meet on the streets or something, if something annoys you, you can just mute and block the person that annoys you.
