Call of Duty bans 500,000 accounts for toxic

There are a few dark corners in the Call of Duty community. Aggressive players without respect or restraint rampage through the chats and insult friend and foe alike. But CoD is cracking down more and more, banning massive accounts, demanding name changes and showing 3 new rules of conduct.

Call of Duty has always been a phenomenon in gaming. In recent years, however, the most successful shooter franchise has stepped it up a few notches and gained many millions of players. However, with that comes a great deal of responsibility.

CoD’s community doesn’t have a good reputation. Most players can behave themselves, are fair, helpful and unobtrusive. But as is often the case, there is a small minority that causes trouble.

Racism, bullying, intolerance – if you play with active in-game chat, unfortunately, sooner or later you will come into contact with such things.

Call of Duty clearly stands against such behavior, shows its progress in the fight against the toxic minority in a recent blog post and introduces new rules that all players have to confirm – just before the start of the CoD MW2 beta.

What progress are the developers reporting? Call of Duty has already banned hundreds of thousands of accounts that have misbehaved. In addition, players with offensive names are being forced to change them. The numbers:

  • 500,000 accounts banned for toxic behavior
  • 300,000 accounts had to change their name

 

Since the last report on toxic players, 150,000 accounts have been banned in just under 1.5 years.

At that time, it was also announced that voice chat would be more heavily analyzed to detect toxic behavior. This system also includes in-game name creation and text chat. Meanwhile, the filter system includes 14 languages.

 

  • English
  • French
  • Italian
  • Portuguese
  • German
  • Spanish
  • Russian
  • Polish
  • Japanese
  • Korean
  • Chinese – Traditional
  • Chinese – Simplified
  • Turkish
  • Arabic

 

What are the new rules? To give players clear and simple guidelines on how to behave correctly in the game, there is a new “Code of Conduct” – a code of conduct consisting of 3 parts:

  • Treat everyone with respect
  • Compete with integrity
  • Stay alert

 

Basically, it’s about being reasonable to other players, not cheating, and reporting violations of the first two rules in CoD. You can find the full blog post at callofduty.com. Call of Duty has grown steadily and continues to have a lot of potential. The goal is to make players feel more comfortable and look out for each other despite the competitive environment. Do you think CoD is doing enough to address toxic behavior in its games? Is there possibly something specific you would like to see? Leave a comment with your assessment.
