Reporting players can not be the solution

Dear EA

Reporting players to rule violations is not that easy as you say so calmly all the time.

There are several hard violations (racism, insults, cheats) by several players within a very short time.

If you want to report everyone, you wouldn't be able to play the game anymore. Other, harder solutions are needed, EA!

Thanks.

    @TTZ_DipsyAgainst insults and racism: A quick command for reporting. Not over the point list, profiles etc.
    Just a simple report command (with auto-completion of a name) you can use in the chat window. 🙂

    AND: If, for example, it is noticed that someone is disseminating racist statements, a text warning should be given at the beginning and a warning to refrain from doing so. If the person continues to spread hate, it must be temporarily banned for all servers.

    And against cheating:
    I would say a background service against cheating (like PunkBuster or EasyAntiCheat, but specially developed for BFV) would make sense.

    //EDIT:
    I have added some extra lines to the text.

    @Michaelp800 Could this solution also not be abused by say a group of people who have an issue with a particular person?

    For example, say Player ABC went 102 - 0 in a tank in the previous match and during that match they kept wrecking a platoon with say 8 - 10 people on the other side. As you're relying on an AI system that relies on player input, how would the system know what is true and what is false if all 8 - 10 people spammed reports of racism, hate speech, etc? Can you see where this would become a very slippery slope.

    While in theory your idea works, it heavily relies on players being honest and not abusing a quick 'boot' option to high K:D players on the other side they don't like. Not to sound cynical but I wouldn't trust 99.99% of the playerbase of any game to be even 10% honest lol.

    For any form of honesty you'd need to have actual admins monitoring the games as relying on an AI system will come down to the amount of reports made if keywords aren't typed. How does the AI system know if what they said was verbal or not, it can't and so this is where the idea fails unfortunately

    @Real_NoobalishusI've seriously considered that.

    That's why I think the solution with the pre-warned Autoban for insults and hate and the anti-cheat system in the background are the better solutions.
    So you don't even have to report that much.
