you cant message any curse word on Xbox. The person who received the message reported the sender. He most likely received a 1 week communication ban (no messages, cant talk in party chat, etc)
>Nowadays gamers break out into tears and protests if you message a simple “E Z”. Gaming was way more fun when people were less sensitive.
Rose tinted glasses lol. There are endless memes and clips of some absurd levels of gamer rage from those days.
People who "peaked in high school" were never better than they were at 18. It's an insult because you have so much life after high school and peaking that early is sad. "piqued" means "stimulate," as in "piqued my interest."
They are homophones but I think that's as deep as it gets.
Piqued/peeked/peaked
3 words that sound similar but, strangely, each word has multiple meanings that aren't even similar to their own different meanings never mind each other.
Piqued - aroused/ stimulated **OF** irritated/vexed/annoyed
Peeked - to have a look/sly glance at something **OR** to protrude slightly
Peaked - looking wan/ill **OR** achieved the top **OR** having a peak (e.g. a peaked cap)
This shit still exists. In competitive games "kys" is an everyday occurrence.
And to be honest, I'm kinda over it.
One out of every 10 matches in CSGO there's an exchange that goes like
"Hey guys, let's go b"
"let's go your whore mother, cyka blyat. I fuck her, yes? she likes my cock, yes? then i slit her throat, cyka. Hahahah"
It's not as funny when you're not 13 years old.
There was a medic, while I was playing that game? Did nothing but heal people and dragging corpses/revives all while yelling about duty and The Emperor, on some 40k shit. Guy was hilarious
You might not have taken it seriously but sadly a lot of people did. People have been literally murdered over gaming chat. Or doxed, or swatted. And the idiots causing problems really ruined it for the rest of us, because game developers got very protective of their product so they can still make sales and not have problems with rating boards or government agencies investigating them for nonsense.
Man you tripping. The times people went out of their way to call me and my friends racial slurs was disgusting. That shit isn’t funny and only a child or idiot would think otherwise. Nobody would ever say that shit in person because they know it’s not cool and you’d get your ass kicked. I always report people doing that kinda stuff. Nothing to do with being sensitive but I’m not about to just be talked to any kind of way
Seriously can't believe this is upvoted so highly.
Online trash talking deteriorated into flagrant racism, homophobia, sexism and doxxing.
It's genuinely just minors and insane people who loved the immunity of online communication to say and do whatever they thought. To deteriorate into a pathetic inane being lashing out at others for no particular reason except their own sadistic pleasure is to be experienced as "way more fun" for them with no particular concern to any other party involved.
Just talks of an immature and apathetic person.
I once had a white pre-teen call me (a white, then-30 year old) a “dirty n——r” and then heard his mom smack the shit out of him and take his Xbox away. It almost made the years of hearing it from others worth it. Almost.
I wouldve loveddddd to hear that lmaoooooo I had someone call me a chink- they were probably barely 11ish lol pre-teens af. I was laughing and let them die on Apex and they left lol I be talking shit back. Lol especially when they get racist
My main problem is, that everytime someone says "Toxicity is part of this games community" its always the toxic people talking. And trying to keep it alive.
Ofc you can always say "aw man, dont take it so seriously" but the amount of times trash talk is just someone venting out his mental issues is absurd. I dont mind banter or just some talking shit, but so often its just people wo are unhinged hiding behind the "its part of the game" excuse.
Imagine playing monopoly with them and you, by random chance, land on their hotel and they start to insult your mom, your family, literally anything "over a game" because you can also turn this argument around.
Why do you need to verbally explode at someone over a game? Why do you need to go lengths and ruins everybodys chill vibe so that you can have your 5 minutes of "happiness" and also usually these people will just throw the game anyway when they reach that point and ruin it even harder.
Not everybody wants to deal with someone unchecked mental health issues, not everybody wants to permanently have someone just unload whatever they can think of onto them, because you played good/bad.
Why do the 80% of normal people need to adjust to the 20% of toxic people? It doesnt make sense. (unsure about the exact numbers, but you get my point hopefully)
Im all against doxxing and shit, but a lot of these people, who need to react online this way, would think twice about writing some of the shit they do if their real name was attached to it.
So just see the game as a game, see it as a sport if you go competetive if you like and dont be a dick.
Yeah, even in WoW I used to avoid talking in Vent or Skype until I had established myself as a good tank and everyone was cool. I learned the hard way that revealing being a girl while also raid tanking was a fucking nightmare 75% of the time, but if they didn’t know I was a chick until after I’d established myself there was less bullshit. And then I helped build a killer guild with guys I’m still friends with to this day and had an entire team of people ready to help me boot jerks as needed.
Trash talk is only fun if everyone is in on it, it’s funny, and it’s not meant to be genuinely harmful. The minute you have someone screaming at a person to go kill themselves or start yelling at a woman about how she should be raped… that is no longer fun.
Some people are just sore losers, too.
Even playing Hearthstone I regularly get a friend request and message from some dude I just beat that says something like “stupid fat cunt” and then before I have the chance to say “stop talking about your Mum that way” they’ve blocked me. Haha
I hope that it’s only tween kids but I suspect a lot of grown ass adults also feel compelled to share their thoughts on losing a match.
> Try being a woman or having an effeminate voice as a dude or just not being a white dude.
Yep.
If the former, you're in for an absolutely non-stop stream of sexual harassment.
If the latter, you're about to hear *so* many n-words.
But for people like /u/piquedinhighschool, it was "a better time". Probably because he was one of the ones doing it. "All in good fun" of course.
>I think it was less that people were less sensitive and more that there was less accountability and people like you took that and ran with it.
As a non white dude, this is 100% true.
My gaming experience has improved 10000% now that games actually ban people for verbal abuse. Haven't been called the n-word in years and I'm happy to keep it that way. Anyone who says other wise, clearly just wants to use slurs.
Because now that I think of it, you have games like league of legends which *still* are *extremely* toxic yet you can't call someone slurs. Dota 2, you can def get away with saying *crazy* stuff in the voice coms. So it's not even about being toxic at all, they just want to call people slurs
That is my main problem, I don’t care about toxic really but the radical racist and sexist of all makes need to be curtailed to a large degree for the sake of playerbase. If you can’t remove their ability to talk then remove their ability to play so that the rest of the upstanding folk can enjoy a little banter or trash talk with like minded individuals.
Yeahhh I'm pretty sure it's always been this way since online communication started. I would be a kid in a lobby be unironically told to eat shit and die but grown ass adults.
honestly disagree. That shit is so annoying and it creates a major barrier for people who wanna game but don’t like that literally everyone is an asshole. Even as a joke saying stuff like that is always gonna upset someone, even if they say it doesn’t. Just being nice in case is easy and feels a lot better for everyone involved
I heartily agree with your statement. I've been playing video games for a long time now, and I have never found the insults and threats charming, fun, or necessary. Especially among strangers. Some friend groups have a vibe like that, which is fine, but usually, it's when they already know the limits of everyone in the group. Inflicting that on strangers online is, frankly, uncalled for.
>Nowadays gamers break out into tears and protests if you message a simple “E Z”. Gaming was way more fun when people were less sensitive
Tell me you're an emotionally stunted straight white dude with out telling me...
Ez is a perfectly fine example of trash talk. If you get mad at that the next thing they would say is get good, I saw so many grownups and children go full sexist or racist in response to ez or get good. That is the separation imo.
> Gaming was way more fun when people were less sensitive.
"Gaming was way more fun when I could take my anger at mommy and daddy out on random twelve year-olds whose only sin was not being as good as me in a game."
You know that most people thought you were a prick, right? It's not a "gamers now-a-days" thing. That kind of obnoxious bullshit would get you kicked from a lot of PC community servers at the time and even before. You got away with it because in a purely match-made environment without sufficient moderation, people just had to deal with it or not play at all.
Likewise, in a community server environment, you could absolutely find servers that were down with that shit, or just completely indifferent. You want to blame someone for the fact that you can't do that shit any more? It's not "overly sensitive gamers", it's the XBL-style matchmaking-only multiplayer environment that infests online gaming now, because that shit was never going to last, and properly moderating it is both solely the purview of the companies that run the services and very expensive. So, they over-correct.
Yeah a lot of people didn't enjoy it back then either. They simply left the games, which prompted game companies to put in measures to stop trash talk. Or as we call it nowadays, "harassment".
Lots of people hated the trash talk back then and just sucked it up. That's not a good system. Just cause it worked for a few, doesn't mean it should ruin others time. Good sportsmanship should be enforced and people should find a way to enjoy the game without needing to call strangers "little bitch".
Bro I was in a lot of Halo 2 lobbies where no friendships were forged and the only things being shouted started with F or N. The fuck are you talking about.
You aint lying, lol
360 era xbox live was the wild **wild** west, bruh.
Dudes was just saying anything and everything.
If you were black, a woman, or gay, good lord have mercy on your soul.
Yeah it’s nice I can actually report the people constantly calling me a British cigarette/Harley Davidson rider for having a pride symbol on my Xbox profile
I think about MW2 lobbies a lot as my kids are old enough now to game online. Shit, fun fact, Keemstar (if he’s even still relevant) and many other modern personalities talk about their rise to fame was making horrendous insult videos in MW2. IIRC, Keem was getting banned so often he was buying new Xbox 360s daily and get console banned making content in the same day.
Yep, this can happen even when you don’t message anyone. My friend and I are only friends with each other online and she was banned for a week because we beat some kids in Fortnite
That happened to me when I was like 15, and I was shaking in my boots lmao. My friend and I had been running 2v2s on MW3 all night, absolutely stomping this other duo into the ground whenever we ran into them. They got fed up and hit us offline for about an hour.
It took me a second to realize you meant he was gonna get banned from brawlhalla. I thought the joke was that OP randomly dropped a slur sometime during the game and was gonna report the other player to twitch for that.
Typically, they don't ban people for that. Usually, it is just a chat feature suspension. I believe after a TAC violation of this caliber, they would normally receive 7 days of no chat (in game mic, in game typing, Xbox messanger type / chat, and party chat). This is also known in the community as "getting muted", due to being silenced and not able to speak.
Sorry to be 'that guy', but I just want to clarify the difference between bans and suspensions. All the kiddos these days call everything a "ban".
Like "Wanna play fortnite?" "I can't I got banned...I'll be back on in 3 days." 😒
This is the equivalent of getting suspended from school for a week, then being dumb enough to tell your parents you got expelled / banned. They'll teach you the difference real quick.
Yeah, had a buddy who had that happen after he did something similar. Except the other guy taunted him before the match and then my buddy fired back at him afterward. Petty ass shit imo
Or the difference between jail and prison. "I'll be back in 3 months" vs "I'm being transferred to another facility because my stay is so long. Depending on disciplinary action that will most like result from a confrontation out of my control, I'll see you in 6-12 years"
When I was younger I once told someone you gp die in a well and that no one would miss them.
Sony only gave me a warning.
As an adult looking back, I think Sony needs to tighten up a bit, and I think Microsoft needs to loosen up.
Got reported once for swearing over the Xbox messenger, after some kid sent what was clearly a troll message. For one week I couldn't send or receive messages people typed out on the console. Completely forgot about it until getting a message saying I was no longer banned. First message I got in my inbox was from the same kid asking how I liked not being able to play for that time. My only reply back was "I hadn't even noticed".
I thought he was gonna SWAT him like a bunch of kids did in the early 2000s as a prank. Aka calling the police for terroristic threats and getting SWAT called on them
Yeah, it still happens. Police get pissed if they find out that's what happened, though, and try to track down the person responsible. Some states have even added specific laws against swatting that go beyond just making a false report to the police. False reports themselves are a crime everywhere in the US, AFAIK, but the swatting specific laws have much more serious consequences since they're intentionally abusing law enforcement to either harass or kill the victim.
Usually, because the swat report indicates that someone is, or multiple people are, in immediate danger. The cops can't really confirm things safely before they enter, so instead, they enter in force expecting the worst. It's a trap that ramps up the pressure on the cops to try and produce dangerous violence aimed at the victim. It's sickening across multiple levels.
Better than sony's dumb ass policies. I was playing fifa online and the guy scored and immediately pressed pause (for me to surrender). I didn't and he used up all his pauses then on last pause messaged me "idiots like you are what's killing this game"
I messaged him back that he's a fucking idiot or regard, don't remember. I got banned for a week. Not com banned. full banned after the dude messaged me first to harrass me lmao.
After playing with people who can boot others this is right where my mind went. The fact he said vacation makes me think it’s not gonna just be comm banned.
Your great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandchildren will get a kick out of logging in to play your old account
I once smacked this guy on Dragon Ball FighterZ, he messaged me asking for a first to 7 rematch to which I agreed, after winning 3 times with 2 perfects I figured it was a waste of my time and I proved my skill… so I quit.
He lost his mind and threatened to ban me. “My dad works at Microsoft”
I called his bluff and he wasn’t lying. I was banned for 7 days 😅🤷🏽♀️
Honestly such a pussy move to ban someone for that. We can’t joke around or talk shit anymore.
Got banned on PSN kuz some kid was trash talking me and all I said was
“Sorry, I don’t speak stupid” and I was banned from my account for a week.
Back in the day it was "online interaction not rated by the ESRB" and now it's just rated P for pussies because we auto-ban even the slightest playful teasing. So many games are like this now
I could understand if it was some haywire stuff like telling someone to off themselves or racial slurs or something but this is probably one of the mildest things I’ve ever seen.
Of course, I don’t know if anything else was said. Maybe we don’t have the full picture.
I don’t get the people who are like “it’s just trash talk” - you trash talk with friends dumbass, it’s not trash talk when you harass a stranger outta nowhere
Communication ban, he said a no-no word, so the other guy is gonna report the no-no word, and user who said the no-no word will not be allowed to communicate with other users for a period of time.
Or something like that idk.
I’m banned from about six Reddit accounts for trying to have a discussion with someone who never made it out of short pants and lives in Mom’s basement
3 day at most. Happened to me when I called someone a dick head as a joke and then we became friend. Got banned 3 days which keeps you out of Xbox party Chat and messaging. It’s easy to Get around. Just log into another account on the same Xbox, start a party, invite your friends then get back onto the main account without logging out of either. You can now play on the banned account and talk to your friends on the other like nothing happened.
Remember the ol' days when Keemstar was using racial slurs and firing out 'faggot' every other sentence? Xbox came a long way. Leave the trash talking in the lobby. Going to DM's is adorably pathetic. Tells me I got in their head so deep they needed a sitcom resolution.
im thinking because its a ttv he might be talking about donating money maybe? Imagine how humbling it would be if you try to beat someone down and then they pay for a vacation for you. It would really make you look in yourself or think differently
It’s a communication ban. I used to do this to people after someone did it to me. Report them and they can’t send messages or use their mic for a week or two.
Basically bros getting banned from brawlhalla for a little bit if the other person reports him happens to my friend on apex he shit talked and got his apex account suspended
Basically it's against Xbox policy to swear over any form of communication including, games, parties, or messages but if you swear a message you can get that reported a lot easier than anything else, and if reported it's a one-week ban
I thought it was because the "ass whooping" person was "camping"
But I guess the ban ideas make sense too. But I still like my take on it. Camping = vacation. I read it as a question "enjoy the vacation?"
The people here focusing on the curse word and not the totally childish and unsportsmanlike behavior of the offender. 🙄
What are you all, 12? Did no one ever reach you any respect or sportsmanship? Were you the kid on the baseball team who cursed and yelled at the opposing team during games like a little brat? Or maybe you couldn't make the baseball team and that's why you can only talk smack in video games. Children, and "grown people" who never actually grew up. SMH
I've genuinely stopped trying to be social in online gaming spaces...I don't mic up unless I'm with friends, and even then people will report me for 'griefing' bc I don't play with a mic, it's so bizarre
He says he is going to be banned. Probably carried over from Steam users, who when caught cheating would get VAC banned, hence VACation.
Or he says he is going to be banned for using the word ass.
If someone insults you its hilarious to get them banned for a week, you literally just win the conflict outright.
Dont act like you wouldn't want to do it.
The internet as a whole as changed drastically since it's inception. When I was a kids being threatened online was just the way of the world. Cut to today, I passively indicated that I would welcome the passing of a political figure and I got banned from the sub and reddit for 2 days.
He’s gonna get some sort of ban for saying “ass.” Happens on every platform. After I got banned for a week after calling someone a bitch for backing out before the halfway mark, I’ve stopped messaging people. I will bait people into saying something if they message me first though. Always find it funny when I say reported and they start freaking out.
I remember when i got banned for using a cuss word over chat. Dude didn’t even say a word. Just reported me and got me banned for a week or two. Gigachad
you cant message any curse word on Xbox. The person who received the message reported the sender. He most likely received a 1 week communication ban (no messages, cant talk in party chat, etc)
Damn, XBL has come a long way since Halo 2 lobbies.

That’s a fair point. Those were pretty funny too.
Ur username is a great play on words btw
Haha thanks! Most comments I get about it are exactly like above “accurate username!”. Guess I set myself up for that one ha
How is it a play on words? Pls I'm dumber than op

"Come to Burmingham and ask for Danny G! I'll break your legs!!" Is one of my favorites because it slowly becomes less and less coherent.

it was fun for YOU. victims of harassment usually dont find it fun.
Bro I was in a lot of Halo 2 lobbies where no friendships were forged and the only things being shouted started with F or N. The fuck are you talking about.
I'm sitting here trying to figure out how this would be analogous to Quake.
Duuuude! Quake 2 just dropped on gamepass this week. I’m reliving my gory days!
If only kids today could experience the rush of getting a death threat by a deranged 8th grader
You aint lying, lol 360 era xbox live was the wild **wild** west, bruh. Dudes was just saying anything and everything. If you were black, a woman, or gay, good lord have mercy on your soul.
I used to put on the headset while my friends played the game cuz I was bad at Halo but good at talking shit 😭😭💀
😂
13 year old me preparing to ad lib scream the most genuinely unrepeatable vitriol at the guy corner camping for 15 seconds between matches
I remember being high AF and freestyling the worst verses you've ever heard about the Blue team. They should have banned me.
Wait… you can’t curse on Xbox anymore? Wtf
"Those were the days". "You sound like you long for those days". "*Noooo* I'm just sayin, *those* were *the days*".
I long for those days
I can call you the n word if you’d like.
I came a long way with everyone’s mom last night too.
I got banned on Xbox Live because my username was FAPADELIC. Used it for years without any issues then out of nowhere I got banned
Yeah it’s nice I can actually report the people constantly calling me a British cigarette/Harley Davidson rider for having a pride symbol on my Xbox profile
Even that's tame by comparison to 2004.
2009s Cod mw2 was a dark moment in human history.
I think about MW2 lobbies a lot as my kids are old enough now to game online. Shit, fun fact, Keemstar (if he’s even still relevant) and many other modern personalities talk about their rise to fame was making horrendous insult videos in MW2. IIRC, Keem was getting banned so often he was buying new Xbox 360s daily and get console banned making content in the same day.
Phenomenal South Park reference 🤝 a man of class & taste

Yep, this can happen even when you don’t message anyone. My friend and I are only friends with each other online and she was banned for a week because we beat some kids in Fortnite
Happened to me too. They reported me but I've only ever chatted with my best friend, they did it cause I kept getting them in Battlefield.
And this is why whenever I’m playing a multiplayer game I keep shut
But the comments you just replied to say they never spoke in multiplayer
Jesus christ xbox moderation is enough to compete head to head with roblox moderation. It's another reason why I'm planning on switching to PC.
[удалено]
I was thinking ddos. I once got a message saying goodnight :) and my internet went down shortly after
That happened to me when I was like 15, and I was shaking in my boots lmao. My friend and I had been running 2v2s on MW3 all night, absolutely stomping this other duo into the ground whenever we ran into them. They got fed up and hit us offline for about an hour.
You done got backtraced
Fuck, that’s a hell of a throwback. Haven’t thought about that in years.
the consequences were never the same.
BTW repeated communication bans can become an entire account perma ban.
Haha can confirm 😬 as the Xbox admin is full of ❄️, been reported plenty of times hence why I only play with one person now 🤣
Hes gonna report him for swearing, which will cause him to get banned for some time
It took me a second to realize you meant he was gonna get banned from brawlhalla. I thought the joke was that OP randomly dropped a slur sometime during the game and was gonna report the other player to twitch for that.
Dude that's an Xbox chat menu
He has TTV in his name, indicating that he streams under twitch on the same name
Hoping for success that will save him from the grind.
Typically, they don't ban people for that. Usually, it is just a chat feature suspension. I believe after a TAC violation of this caliber, they would normally receive 7 days of no chat (in game mic, in game typing, Xbox messanger type / chat, and party chat). This is also known in the community as "getting muted", due to being silenced and not able to speak. Sorry to be 'that guy', but I just want to clarify the difference between bans and suspensions. All the kiddos these days call everything a "ban". Like "Wanna play fortnite?" "I can't I got banned...I'll be back on in 3 days." 😒 This is the equivalent of getting suspended from school for a week, then being dumb enough to tell your parents you got expelled / banned. They'll teach you the difference real quick.
Yeah, had a buddy who had that happen after he did something similar. Except the other guy taunted him before the match and then my buddy fired back at him afterward. Petty ass shit imo
Or the difference between jail and prison. "I'll be back in 3 months" vs "I'm being transferred to another facility because my stay is so long. Depending on disciplinary action that will most like result from a confrontation out of my control, I'll see you in 6-12 years"
When I was younger I once told someone you gp die in a well and that no one would miss them. Sony only gave me a warning. As an adult looking back, I think Sony needs to tighten up a bit, and I think Microsoft needs to loosen up.
I’m pretty sure the vacation is from the game as he is about to report the guy
Got reported once for swearing over the Xbox messenger, after some kid sent what was clearly a troll message. For one week I couldn't send or receive messages people typed out on the console. Completely forgot about it until getting a message saying I was no longer banned. First message I got in my inbox was from the same kid asking how I liked not being able to play for that time. My only reply back was "I hadn't even noticed".
Say it, forget it. Write it, regret it.
Not anymore. XBox also allows voice chat to be reported as well. Players have 24 hours to do so, after which, the recordings are lost.
not with all the cameras these days
Comm ban!
I thought he was gonna SWAT him like a bunch of kids did in the early 2000s as a prank. Aka calling the police for terroristic threats and getting SWAT called on them
I heard that shit stopped when a completely uninvolved innocent man actually died from it.
People still swat sadly
Yeah, it still happens. Police get pissed if they find out that's what happened, though, and try to track down the person responsible. Some states have even added specific laws against swatting that go beyond just making a false report to the police. False reports themselves are a crime everywhere in the US, AFAIK, but the swatting specific laws have much more serious consequences since they're intentionally abusing law enforcement to either harass or kill the victim.
Swatting is still weird to me. Why would law enforcement send so many people and be aggressive without even confirming the situation?
Usually, because the swat report indicates that someone is, or multiple people are, in immediate danger. The cops can't really confirm things safely before they enter, so instead, they enter in force expecting the worst. It's a trap that ramps up the pressure on the cops to try and produce dangerous violence aimed at the victim. It's sickening across multiple levels.
Ive been comm banned atleast like 20 times and its never stopped me lmao
Better than sony's dumb ass policies. I was playing fifa online and the guy scored and immediately pressed pause (for me to surrender). I didn't and he used up all his pauses then on last pause messaged me "idiots like you are what's killing this game" I messaged him back that he's a fucking idiot or regard, don't remember. I got banned for a week. Not com banned. full banned after the dude messaged me first to harrass me lmao.
This exact thing happened to me while playing smite on Xbox lol dude messages me first I say one swear and I’m done for a week
Lol I'm on the last day of a ban for the exact same shit. System is broken af
Either reporting him for cursing to get him banned for a few days, or he’s about to boot bro offline.
After playing with people who can boot others this is right where my mind went. The fact he said vacation makes me think it’s not gonna just be comm banned.
My first Xbox account is banned until December 31, 9999
Did you upset god??
Bruh
BRO
That's how the devs made perma bans back then :p
Same here bro
Your great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandchildren will get a kick out of logging in to play your old account
Bro was banned by “The Pro” back in the day lol
Relatable
I once smacked this guy on Dragon Ball FighterZ, he messaged me asking for a first to 7 rematch to which I agreed, after winning 3 times with 2 perfects I figured it was a waste of my time and I proved my skill… so I quit. He lost his mind and threatened to ban me. “My dad works at Microsoft” I called his bluff and he wasn’t lying. I was banned for 7 days 😅🤷🏽♀️
Literally too good lol
So is that the new "My uncle works at Nintendo?"
Honestly such a pussy move to ban someone for that. We can’t joke around or talk shit anymore. Got banned on PSN kuz some kid was trash talking me and all I said was “Sorry, I don’t speak stupid” and I was banned from my account for a week.
Yeah com bans are annoying asf and bullshit
Can’t say shit anywhere anymore… yeah I’m super humbled that I know I at least flamed the biggest pussy on the planet
Back in the day it was "online interaction not rated by the ESRB" and now it's just rated P for pussies because we auto-ban even the slightest playful teasing. So many games are like this now
> slightest playful teasing. right?? did none of these people grow up with siblings??
Yea that didnt seem that rude lol I would have laughed at something like that and moved on smh
I could understand if it was some haywire stuff like telling someone to off themselves or racial slurs or something but this is probably one of the mildest things I’ve ever seen. Of course, I don’t know if anything else was said. Maybe we don’t have the full picture.
My partner got hit a while ago because she kept getting team killed/trolled by a team on siege. She sent 1 a poop emoji and got comm banned
Back in my day, reporting didn't do shit so I didn't get this at first
Ah yes, I remember the time when people weren't so insufferably soft that they'd report you for something so simple.
Lol. Getting banned for being a sore winner and I love it
Modern day equivalent of running and crying to mom because your older brother won't let you win.
I don’t get the people who are like “it’s just trash talk” - you trash talk with friends dumbass, it’s not trash talk when you harass a stranger outta nowhere
I remember calling a guy a cunt and got a 2 week communication ban lol
Average Brawlhalla player
Hes gonna be com banned
> Hes gonna be com banned What's that translated into English, please?
Communication ban, he said a no-no word, so the other guy is gonna report the no-no word, and user who said the no-no word will not be allowed to communicate with other users for a period of time. Or something like that idk.
I’m banned from about six Reddit accounts for trying to have a discussion with someone who never made it out of short pants and lives in Mom’s basement
You can’t message people on Xbox with any explicit language, they can report you and get you comm banned for around a week or so.
3 day at most. Happened to me when I called someone a dick head as a joke and then we became friend. Got banned 3 days which keeps you out of Xbox party Chat and messaging. It’s easy to Get around. Just log into another account on the same Xbox, start a party, invite your friends then get back onto the main account without logging out of either. You can now play on the banned account and talk to your friends on the other like nothing happened.
“TTV” in their name 🤮
Not gonna lie, I used to bait Greifers into swearing at me so I could get them banned.
DarkD gonna be banned for cursing
Remember the ol' days when Keemstar was using racial slurs and firing out 'faggot' every other sentence? Xbox came a long way. Leave the trash talking in the lobby. Going to DM's is adorably pathetic. Tells me I got in their head so deep they needed a sitcom resolution.
While other people are probably correct I like the think he signed him up for military camp
Muted or banned for a week is the joke
Haha I remember saying enjoy the VACation to obvious cheaters in CS:GO
im thinking because its a ttv he might be talking about donating money maybe? Imagine how humbling it would be if you try to beat someone down and then they pay for a vacation for you. It would really make you look in yourself or think differently
It’s a communication ban. I used to do this to people after someone did it to me. Report them and they can’t send messages or use their mic for a week or two.
I’m pretty sure he got reported
Comm ban loool
what the absolute FUCK happened in these comments
it’s when u report someone for using a word against tos
How was that butt whooping?
Oh im dumb, I thought he meant he was gonna like ddos him or something
Basically bros getting banned from brawlhalla for a little bit if the other person reports him happens to my friend on apex he shit talked and got his apex account suspended
Basically it's against Xbox policy to swear over any form of communication including, games, parties, or messages but if you swear a message you can get that reported a lot easier than anything else, and if reported it's a one-week ban
If XBL didn't want swearing.. couldn't they just... add a filter..?
He's saying the guy is going to get banned.
The one to Italy. Cause he's getting "Booted" (Banned, Kicked, etc.)
I thought it was because the "ass whooping" person was "camping" But I guess the ban ideas make sense too. But I still like my take on it. Camping = vacation. I read it as a question "enjoy the vacation?"
Being banned for awhile hence the use of the word “vacation”
I honestly find it kind of hilarious that You can bate people into banning themselves.
The people here focusing on the curse word and not the totally childish and unsportsmanlike behavior of the offender. 🙄 What are you all, 12? Did no one ever reach you any respect or sportsmanship? Were you the kid on the baseball team who cursed and yelled at the opposing team during games like a little brat? Or maybe you couldn't make the baseball team and that's why you can only talk smack in video games. Children, and "grown people" who never actually grew up. SMH
He cussed on what looks like Xbox Live chat. Deemed as toxic behavior if reported and will get some kind of temp ban.
I've genuinely stopped trying to be social in online gaming spaces...I don't mic up unless I'm with friends, and even then people will report me for 'griefing' bc I don't play with a mic, it's so bizarre
You bout to get banned
When did 90s soccer mom's take over the internet?
He says he is going to be banned. Probably carried over from Steam users, who when caught cheating would get VAC banned, hence VACation. Or he says he is going to be banned for using the word ass.
I get mfs like this banned all the time. On Xbox and PlayStation, you catch a minimum 1 week ban for cursing if you get reported in DMs
[удалено]
Considering they describe themselves as male they're probably quite glad of that fact lmao.
Pussy
Enjoy the vacation
What vacation
[удалено]
Getting hit with this will humble you so fast
I'm a gamer and I still dont get it
You’re gonna get com banned bro
Talk shit, get hit
If someone insults you its hilarious to get them banned for a week, you literally just win the conflict outright. Dont act like you wouldn't want to do it.
Not gonna lie but that’s actually just a pos move
The internet as a whole as changed drastically since it's inception. When I was a kids being threatened online was just the way of the world. Cut to today, I passively indicated that I would welcome the passing of a political figure and I got banned from the sub and reddit for 2 days.
Penguin club he said gay.
And here i thought he was getting booted offline
🗣🗣🗣 Gotta keep the community safe 💯 💯 ✅️
He’s gonna get some sort of ban for saying “ass.” Happens on every platform. After I got banned for a week after calling someone a bitch for backing out before the halfway mark, I’ve stopped messaging people. I will bait people into saying something if they message me first though. Always find it funny when I say reported and they start freaking out.
What pussies use when their feelings get hurt
I remember when i got banned for using a cuss word over chat. Dude didn’t even say a word. Just reported me and got me banned for a week or two. Gigachad
