>be gamedev >make a relatively popular online game with a steady, consecutive player count of between 5k-11k at any given time >include a global chat feature that allows all users to communicate with each other at all timesHow would you manage your global chat feature, /v/? Would you let anyone say whatever they want and never issue bans? Would you let the community police itself with a “vote kick” or “vote ban” feature? Or would you censor “hate speech” and hire admin to actively monitor the chat?
>>750856349No chat feature, if people want to talk to each other they'll figure it out, chances are they already have
>>750856349No moderation, but there would have to be a filter to prevent links and maybe a chat cooldown since the chat would otherwise turn into bots spamming ads and malware links all the time.
Governments require you to censor hatespeech all over the world. You'll have to either region lock chat and matchmaking or you have to comply. And not just governments but credit card companies as well. Valve will ban your game if it payment processors threaten to ban Valve.
>>750857282"Require" how? If Steam gets on your neck about it, just use the money from your several thousand players to get your own website so nobody can take your game down. And if a pussy country like England starts sending you mean e-mails, ignore them completely.
>>750857467Outside of crypto how do you plan on making money? Payment Processors have been infested with censorious ideologs. And unless the law changes payment processors dictates the content of online media.
>>750856349just look at how wow pservers handle world chat, thats the closest thing to your scenario and it comes from trial and error. They hire moderators to keep things clean or else you'd get amerigolems going NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER and talking about their politics 24/7
>>750856349I would publicly ban anyone who said they didn't like chocolate milk.
>>750857634Keep switching payment processors until you have to resort to crypto, I suppose. I know they're evil dystopian overlords, but what are the chances your payment processor actually cares about what you're letting players say in your relatively popular video game?
war thunder style where you can add the option to show raw chat.
>>750856349I'd ban anyone who says nigger exactly 3 times in all lowercase. No more or no less.
>>750856349The easiest thing to do is to just not bother. Give your game some rudimentary communication tools (pinging, canned voice lines, emotes, etc), and let players handle communication themselves.
>>750856349>Global chat with everybody playing the game all at onceI don't know why anybody would want this.
>>750857713This is all Starcraft 2 general chat is now
>>750856349Force the use of proper grammar.
>>750858061Then why are you playing it?
Is this a global chat per match or a global chat that is available at all times to every player logged on?If its per match, then>squealch>filter>direct messageThat is about all a chat needs. Mods are for private games only.
Don't have a global chat at all are you retarded? You don't need to talk to people that aren't in your match/on your server/in your lobby
>>750856349Proximity chat onlyLet me call everyone a nigger
>>750856349i would personally permaban all users involved in trannyspeak and political slop, zero tolerance
>>750856349i would only really care about spammerseverything else is meh though i would still ban for swears n sht sometimes
>>750857903Have you lived under a rock for the passt 20 years or something?
>>750856349in-game pings and emotes only, you don't need more
>>750859983if its an mmo you need more if its like a shooter then sure you dont
>>750856349Just give people the option to toggle a profanity filter. Have it set so it comes turned on by default, and if someone turns it off they can see everything unmoderated.
>>750860140in shooter comms actually matter while mmo is just fighting bots
>>750857634Return to the days of mailing chequeswtf does cheque have a red line under it how do americans spell it if its not cheque?
>>750856349I’m gonna come in your game and be offensive af. If you ban me I’ll ask for money back and leave you bad reviews. Only ban for straight up breaking the law in USA. Euro cucks can eat shithttps://youtu.be/AtbdRs9U0us
Free speech as long as you have self-awareness>shut up faggotIs untouched>you are a colossal mega kikenigger and I hope your entire family diesGets the usual system of warning, warning with slight punishment, actual punishment. With punishments decaying fast enough that you could probably say it 3 times a week and never get banned, just made to calm your ass down until I get 400 reports and just can't be fucked dealing with the retard anymore.
Global game chat sounds like a return to the old chat forums of the early internet days.I say add a word filter with a toggle, along with a customizable word filter option and you're good. That way anyone who doesn't want to be called a cock gargling double nigger faggot retard doesn't have to be.
>>750856349I'd just add stickers and emotes for them to converse with. That way you can lock the most useful ones behind achievements. Wanna say "go left" or "go right"? That costs 50 matches won, buddy. Play the game.
>>750859636>this is the chud complaining about not having freedom of speech
