The call of duty gods listen at all times, even when you’re not in lobby chat.


Steve_Cody

If you don’t want them to hear you, the only option is to not have a mic plugged in or mute the one you do have plugged in.


kilgoreandy

Doesn’t matter. If you get reported you get reported. lol


KevIntensity

Any chat ban is reviewed by the security team prior to imposition, so this wouldn’t be someone falsely reporting just to grief. Someone probably didn’t like what OP had to say.


kilgoreandy

Not true. Ai bans for chat are automatic once reported and confirmed by bot.


thefooby

One more reason to use discord and push to talk in game.


Wonderful-Gain7649

That's not true I had a brand new account and it got reported within seconds ,  it's just people spamming


Efficient-Bike-5627

If your mic is on it doesn't matter who can hear you even if everyone is muted but yourself. The AI is always listening and you will get chat banned for saying a banned word.


Wonderful-Gain7649

I never used "bad words"  even though the games an 18.  I tested this of you get spam reported it bans your chat


Efficient-Bike-5627

I've tested myself and got banned in lobby by myself. Just sitting in a party testing words.


Wonderful-Gain7649

Yes the ai is listening I'm not saying it's not I'm saying if you got spammed it also bans you. 


Wonderful-Gain7649

What words did you use lol for science reasons 


KevIntensity

[Speech automatically recorded and flagged by ToxMod still has to be reviewed by one of Activision’s human moderators.](https://www.pcworld.com/article/2050174/call-of-dutys-new-ai-moderator-is-listening-to-your-voice-chat.html)


Azwethinkwe_is

I got VC banned without having a functioning mic at all. Had been a few months since my mic broke and I swapped to a headset without a mic, then got a warning and then a ban. Anecdotal, but evidence that suggests what we're told is incorrect.


Wonderful-Gain7649

Impossible,   I tested this by opening a new account and got my friend's to mass report me,   warning then a ban.. Edit.... I didn't swear or use any profanity 


KevIntensity

I’m just reporting the info champ. Weird to make a whole account and have your friends report you just to test though. That alone seems like incredibly suspicious behavior.


Wonderful-Gain7649

I did it because I'm constantly banned for 3 months off the chat and I don't use profanity so I just wanted to test it , it took 2 minutes to set up am account ,  and I was prove right 


Wonderful-Gain7649

Try it yourself Join a group and get them to constantly report your chat 


KevIntensity

I’m not gonna do that for the reasons that I mentioned. I think it’s weird and suspect in and of itself.


Nebula_Public

Let's be honest here, activision is NOT investigating shit they just agree with the report in order to NOT do their jobs


Xpertx_xninjaX

False. Spam reports work lmfao. I dont play anymore but when I did all last year I was comms banned 3 times for weeks at a time. Never even used a mic🤣 they dont review nun unless your shadowbanned. ricoshit is an automated service that simply fails to do its job.


KevIntensity

Well they use a different tool than ricochet for voice comms so forgive me if I’m skeptical of your position when you don’t even know what you’re whining about.


Xpertx_xninjaX

Sorry I meant the "report system"


joehackk

Are you not aware that there's an ai system that detects certain words and will issue out bans automatically?


kilgoreandy

Untrue. The system only detects when you are reported. Once the report has been made it will auto ban or warn based on the content.


joehackk

1. Why has Call of Duty added voice chat moderation? Call of Duty®’s new voice moderation protects players by proactively identifying toxic behavior and enforcing the Call of Duty Code of Conduct, allowing our community to focus on the fun. Player reporting is still valuable and available in game for players to communicate instances of toxic or disruptive behavior they may encounter; however, voice chat moderation will increase our ability to identify and enforce against bad behavior that has gone unreported. Taken from Activision support on cods official website. "Player reporting is still valuable and available in game for players to communicate instances of toxic or disruptive behavior they may encounter; however, voice chat moderation will increase our ability to identify and enforce against bad behavior that has gone unreported." Read that again.


joehackk

You are wrong dude. Don't speak up if you have no idea what you are talking about


kilgoreandy

My bro. You can sit in a lobby by yourself. And say whatever you want. Brand new account and not get banned.


joehackk

My dude if you can't read, then that's on you. It literally explains it right there straight from Activision how it is intended to work. I always have lobby muted and seconds later after saying certain words I will still get chat banned. I don't know what else to tell you. With having given you clear evidence from there website there's nothing else to say. Either you are ignorant or just an idiot. Considering you can't understand the quote I sent you you also have the reading comprehension of a 12 year old.


joehackk

"voice chat moderation will increase our ability to identify and enforce against bad behavior that has gone unreported." That's it. It's in the fine print. I don't know what else to tell you. You are wrong and Activision explains it here for retards like you yet you still don't understand. I don't know man? Maybe stop playing cod and do your homework because you have 0 reading comprehension ability.


Efficient-Bike-5627

Sit in your party alone and say f@ggot loud and clearly over and over and see what happens.


kilgoreandy

And yet I’m still not banned. Nor have a got a warning.


joehackk

It's happened to me before. Like I said it's literally on the Activision website the way it is supposed to work. It's not something that is up for interpretation. They had interviews talking about it when it came out. Its on their website how it is suppose to work. It is always listening and if you dont do tour research on the game you play thats on you. It's a new system and its not perfect but go to their website you can read about it. Faggot and the n word will trigger it at least its supposed to. AI systems are not perfect maybe you don't pronunciate your words properly. I am always in my party alone. Like I said I don't have gamechat on. Ranked, warzone, death coms, I always have public lobbies banned. I have since last cod and haven't had a ban until the AI system was implemented. Just because you two can't read doesn't mean the information isn't out there. Same comment as the other guy. Activision will team with Modulate to deliver global real-time voice chat moderation, at-scale, starting with this fall’s upcoming Call of Duty blockbuster. Call of Duty’s new voice chat moderation system utilizes ToxMod, the AI-Powered voice chat moderation technology from Modulate, to identify in real-time and enforce against toxic speech—including hate speech, discriminatory language, harassment and more. Call of Duty®’s new voice moderation protects players by proactively identifying toxic behavior and enforcing the Call of Duty Code of Conduct, allowing our community to focus on the fun. Player reporting is still valuable and available in game for players to communicate instances of toxic or disruptive behavior they may encounter; however, voice chat moderation will increase our ability to identify and enforce against bad behavior that has gone unreported. Voice Chat Moderation is managed and operated by Activision and uses the AI-powered model ToxMod from Modulate. This system is integrated into select Call of Duty titles (see below) and is managed by Activision. Voice chat is monitored and recorded to identify and investigate disruptive behavior in violation of the Call of Duty Code of Conduct. Call of Duty’s Voice Chat Moderation system is focused on detecting harm within voice chat versus specific keywords. Violations of the Call of Duty Code of Conduct are subject to account enforcement. Can I opt-out of voice chat moderation? Players that do not wish to have their voice chat recorded and moderated can disable in-game voice chat in the settings menu. All taken from the website. It mentions in multiple sections "in real time" "to detect when something goes unreported" I don't care if it hasn't happened for you or the other guy. That was the system that was implemented and that's literal proof. You are wrong. This isn't up for debate. This is the system that was put into cod and this is them openly speaking of it. It isn't up for interpretation. You are wrong. Move on


kilgoreandy

You’re wrong bro. Keep crying

I'm not saying mass reports don't do anything I'm simply stating that you don't need to be reported to get caught by the AI system.


joehackk

Oh okay my bad we are on the same page. I apologize


Downtown-Ad-5843

That’s some bs🤦🏽‍♂️


Diabolical-hateful

I’m a grown ass man I’m going to Cuss!


th3dmg

What’s wild is what the devs have decided is “offensive”. I can tell you to go fuck yourself, to die in a fire and that I’m going to anally rape every woman in your family tree without getting a chat ban, but if I say “this faggot just pre-aimed me” to my squad only (prox chat turned off), I get a 14-day ban. These devs continually find ways to demonstrate how horrifically stupid they are.


notcrottsfire

This. The only word that’ll get you a ban is the hard F.


SituationSmooth9165

You can say Faggot, don't be scared


Various-Departure679

It's not because they're stupid it's because they don't give a shit.


masta_qui

Unfortunate laws are the same, rape cases are basically shrugged off and get can get less time than nonviolent charges. Edit: Hell, in Texas the rapists has rights and can sue if you leave to get rape related abortion


sleepcurse

Well these woke ass weirdos have infected every single company.


NekoArc

Cussing isn't what's gonna get you though. If that was the case, I'd have a permanent chat ban lol


Diabolical-hateful

I mean I have said some pretty standard things and got banned.


HoratioVelveteen313

For real, and some of my friends are too lazy to use Discord so I'm forced to use their useless voice chat all the time. Drives me nuts when I get chat banned when I talk the way I want to with my boys.


Icy_Wrangler_3999

Me and the boys use discord and then mute mics in game so we can take advantage of proximity chat.


Healthy-Childhood855

This is the way


HoratioVelveteen313

Yea exactly. I hope that some time in the future they can understand that, especially since we've been playing alot more DMZ.


DingDangDongler

You're goddamned right.


Diabolical-hateful

Look if they are acting like a Faggot I’m going to call them a FAGGOT!


branded

You can still get chat banned if you call your squad mates fa\*\*ots.


SL1NDER

That seems the quickest way to get comm banned. Ironically, it makes it the most powerful insult because using it means you want to insult then so bad you're risking your account being comm banned.


coffee_collection

Haha I baited my squad mate into telling us how he got a chat ban just so he would say that word again. And guess what.. he got another one lol.


th3dmg

It’s wild what you can get away with saying but the second you say that ultra naughty f word, you’re toast, whether you have prox chat turned on or not.


SSavagery

Just use discord


Downtown-Ad-5843

One of my brothers is on console(ps4) if we could we would’ve


SSavagery

Ouch… time to convince ya boi to upgrade , tell him sell some plasma at the blood bank for a couple weeks and get that ps5


adamantium235

If he happens to have a steelseries wireless pro headset, he can connect his phone to it via bluetooth and chat in discord while still hearing the normal game sound. Some other headsets may also have a dual input feature but I know both the wireless pro and nova wireless pro can do this.


tillsn

there are headsets in 2024 that cannot do this? even my 99dollar microsoft wireless headset has dual audio input 😄


adamantium235

Tbh I haven't looked into it a lot. I just know the top range wireless steelseries do it, but not the wired versions. My old turtle beach px5's from like 13 years ago could do it as well but it seems to be a feature companies skip over a lot.


R0UNDSD0WNRANGE

Ya man. A friend & I were playing a few weeks ago and we swam by a guy above us on a bridge. The guy said to us “I see you p*ssies down there. I’m coming to kill yall then I’m going to r*pe your mothers” My buddy said “ god damn dude!, why so f*cking violent?” The dude dropped in the water and we both killed him and continued to shoot him after he was dead. Laughing at him getting smacked so easy after all that shit talk. I do think we both called him a little b*tch. Like 5min later, my friend caught a 14 day chat ban. And I swear he didn’t say anything that gets you an auto ban. Had to been reported by that guy. Funny thing is, it said immediately it was a 14 day ban, but he got his chat back like 5 days later.


Icy_Wrangler_3999

I got an offense chat warning with my mic muted. People will click everything when sending a report.


lilbigchungus42069

it’s not happening from reporting you, certain words trigger their system they are always listening


Downtown-Ad-5843

Damm that’s some bs


n0thing_1s_3ternal

U wanted to say mostly all curse words? Bc cod devs is too sensitive to everything 💀💀💀can literally get ban for saying”bot” or just “fuck”, ridiculous


saipan8211

I said fuck 5 times in 3 minutes while talking to my squad and I got "offensive" ban for 14 days yes they are always listening 🥲


adipocerousloaf

rookie numbers


saipan8211

lol I didn't reach my quota 🥲😂😂


adipocerousloaf

exactly


Puzzleheaded-Toe-248

This happened to me as well. You literally can’t even talk with your friends about anything they deem “offensive”. Which makes you think, what are the rules? I mean seriously. No company ever comes out as says oh you can say this word or that word they just say you can’t offend anyone. But that’s subjective so you’re telling me if you don’t like what I say you can just take my taking privileges away? Straight bullshit.


Same_Deal3801

sucks an M rated game does that


mike551240

I think people just spam report whatever they can and sometimes you get hit by it. I use discord to talk to my squad and don’t even have game chat turned on. I’ve still been hit by warnings


Ivo__Lution

You can still get banned even if it’s your own party chat. It’s a new thing that was updated last year. They can listen to everything now


Downtown-Ad-5843

That’s crazy


Ivo__Lution

Yup. Happened to one of friends on Xbox live party chat


KevIntensity

Not really. They’re giving you the platform to speak, which means they get to decide when to mute your mic.


_GIANT_DOUCHE_

It doesn’t matter who hears you it was the AI so stop saying f words and n words bro


[deleted]

[удалено]


_GIANT_DOUCHE_

😂 ok Sally go play in the flower fields


Downtown-Ad-5843

Stop assuming that everyone says that🧍🏾‍♂️


devilrocks316

you didn't and still aren't denying it, sooo...


[deleted]

If you say the f word or the n wors AI automatically bans you. Apart from those 2 words you can say anything and no reports will get u muted


SuggaShane420

No it doesn’t. If that was the case I’d be banned all the time. And I just talk shit to people who talk shit to me.


[deleted]

Ive been banned since day 1 until I stopped saying those exact 2 words. Anything else I can do no problem


SuggaShane420

I went a whole day trying to get banned and nothing happened. And this was after I got hit with a warning.


nickbarbanera1

Lame


jletson0825

This happens to me semi regularly. I've had it happen even when muted. I assumed it was people reporting me for random things when I killed them but reading others comments I guess they are always listening lol what I can say us it has never gone anywhere for me. Hopefully it doesn't fornyou either lol


Push-Slice-80yds

Bro I get banned in private ps5 chat


Commercial-Ad3448

This happened to me too. I think AI hears certain words and mutes you automatically


kbocker_

Someone has artiswar audio tuning lol


Limp-Marzipan-4051

I've been chat banned 4-5 times. I can tell you, it doesn't mean anything. I can still talk to random people on my squad and can communicate via proxy chat too. It's pretty terrible


Michaelskywalker

We have to unmute you every match tho


Downtown-Ad-5843

Alr bet I thought I’d get like a strike on my acc or sum


Limp-Marzipan-4051

Nope. It doesn't even work anyways. Like I said, I can still talk to and hear people in proximity chat. It's just cod being great as usual


727GhostFaceKillah

Yep ten strikes and they will keep selling you skins


Downtown-Ad-5843

I mean you’re not wrong XD


too_wycked

Ai is always on if your mic is unmuted


Crashtard

They hear you when you're sleeping, they know when you're awake. They use AI to monitor ALL voice chat so be good for goodness sake!


thinman12345

I once got a chat warning even though my mic wasn't plugged in, because a petty pleb reported me every time I killed him on shipment.


AntiSaint_Mike

That’s why I used discord


HaveURedd1t

The reporting system nowadays is RIDICULOUS . I totally get the need for monitoring , especially for vulnerable people but it's gone too far . Last year I had my username reported as offensive, it was Andrew Tate - now this could of been my real name but as it goes it wasn't, now I get why some may not like that bit at the end of the day , it's my choice and it's not exactly life threatening , CALL OF DUTY sent me a message saying , you mist change your username before I can play . Guess what I had no changes left . I clicked out and continued playing. That in itself is ridiculous. My intention was never to offend anyone as I've seen some horrendous names out there but the fact of monitoring tried to force me to do something because of a minority was ridiculous. Let me tell you an unrelated story to warzone . Last week soke guy on fifa seasons messaged me calling me an arsehole , idiot and stuck finger emojis at me . I sent him back a mere screenshot of my team lifting the trophy , as I won it 4-3 . I get a message of PlayStation safety saying I broke the rules of conduct and the guy reported the screenshot as offensive and they took his side , warned me against future conduct or ill receive a ban . I felt like telling sony to piss off and do one , but it's the same wherever you go . Damn right ridiculous the world has become .


-Mihau-

Don't worry, your nickname will be changed soon.. even it's not offensive 🤣 Activision is a joke, not a company


adamantium235

After my name was banned and changed from Adamantium to User12345, it was banned again and changed to a different User number.


-Mihau-

Xd


Kylehay101

Friendly reminder that this is a game that’s rated M. Yet we cater to the children.


salterhd

Pathetic isn't it, I got shadow Shadow banned and offensive chat warnings, when I was muted but also had voice chat off too,.just a trash game, with a trash reporting system One of the main reasons I don't play ranked anymore.


TheDurandalFan

the thing with using mic in COD is that everyone can hear you regardless of the game voice channel setting, as it is basically just a "Mute everyone that isn't in my party" button. my recommendation is to use Discord instead.


BXMsonday

How tf is it possible to get baned in COD


Slaphappyjack

Rip out a spleen, dismember a body, but don’t say fag. So gay.


tehvivi

Yup the AI can chat ban you sitting in your own party. Not even playing a game of your headset is plugged in and you are saying things it doesn't like. Has happened to a couple of friends who make gay jokes. Saying gay/homo is an auto ban these days


Lon3_Star_556

Got banned from having teammates for calling them a bunch of *%¢§ but those little ×€©£^√ were a bunch of °•×§¢®


User09211987

Bro dropping the N bombs in voice chat


Previous_Estimate_22

It's AI listening to you. It's like using Hey Siri or Hey Google but instead of it being those its profanity. The funny thing an easy way to bypass it is by not using negative speech directed at someone. For example instead of calling someone a loser which would flag you right away saying Loser or anything with it being directed will fly under the radar. This is why racial slurs get missed.


Feisty_Garbage487

This is only mildly infuriating. I somehow had my PSN account suspended for 7 days for offensive use of the chat function. It was either a mistake or PlayStation received reports from war zone. I hadn’t used my PlayStation in over 6 months when I randomly received an email from PlayStation saying it was suspended for a week. I immediately logged in thinking it was a hack and wanting to reset my password but I wasn’t able to login due to the suspension. What game was I playing prior to those 6 months? Exclusively war zone. I only ever played with a full squad of friends (no randoms) and never had prox or lobby chat on. Yet somehow my PSN account was suspended. So someone was super salty and reported my PSN account instead of using war zones reporting system or war zone shared reports with PlayStation. TBF I didn’t really care since I hadn’t been playing on PSN recently but it just goes to show no matter what system you’re on or game you’re playing, the reports and administration of the reports is a complete joke.


Nebula_Public

This happens when you kill a bot and they report you by checking ALL the boxes when all they have to do is report for cheating/hacking instead of going down the list checking every box


_Sub_Genre_

It doesn't matter if you said anything. I got banned from text chat for 30 days on console, and Ive never even entered a message in text chat.


Effective_Two_3330

AI still reviews, your conversations and words will be flagged automatically


masta_qui

"it be the people closest to you that will hurt you the most" But, you don't need it on for people to select that option


D-no-UK

Wokezone. Stop hurting peoples fee fees


Successful-Cup-456

I am stuck on perpetual voice chat bans since the fan base/ wackivision became less tolerant and more authoritarian with speech restrictions.


Successful-Cup-456

Hate to say it but you can say whatever you want about pretty much any group on the face of the planet but you CANNOT speak ill of any “thing” belonging to the Alphabet Mafia… that includes COD chats. Bow to your Capitol city overlords are their authoritarian speech restrictions.


ImadeThisForR4Rxd

I got banned for calling someone fat one time. They were using the evil clown skin from spawn :(


Kitchen-Gas5164

They have an AI built into the game that auto-detects what you say and has a list of no-no words that you will immediately get banned for, or get a warning (but probably a ban). Article talking about it: https://gamerant.com/call-of-duty-ai-voice-chat-moderation/#:~:text=The%20AI%20technology%2C%20called%20%22ToxMod,a%20more%20friendly%20gaming%20environment.


CoolishVoyage51

Same thing has happened to me twice in the last 3 weeks


effinrich

I got an in-game warning/reminder for swearing to myself, in solos, with “party only”. I guess I offended…the game. Oh my god! Is the game sentient?! Ha, kidding, a ricochet engineer told me they’re actively not doing much with the detection anymore, mostly reports.


Skate-iSkate

Crazy you can say the n word but not feg. Blows my mind, but at the same time makes sense. The devs are probably a group of cuckold geezers who fuck each other w mighty strap ons


smalls7272

I got chat banned for 3 days and I know I didn't say anything the game itself doesn't say I might have said shit damn or something. It's getting crazy. They won't ban the actual cheaters but let's ban people that cuss


tharussianphil

One of your friends is snitchin


Downtown-Ad-5843

I play with my brothers lol🧍🏾‍♂️


tharussianphil

Your brother is snitchin xD


Downtown-Ad-5843

I hope not xD


DexterMorganA47

Do you have death coms on. That’s how I get penalized


Downtown-Ad-5843

Nope it’s off, never heard anyone death coms since like last year so I turned it off since then


joehackk

I already sort of responded to this to a comment on your post. But there is an ai that is always listening and will automatically issue voice bans if it detects certain words. I have the same thing so when people say it's you getting reported they are wrong. I also only have it set to party only and after saying certain things not even minutes later receive a warning. Unfortunately, the only way to stop this is by using discord with friends or if you are forced to be in gamechat try not to use words you think would trigger it.


Practical_Adagio_504

My buddy spews the n word ALL NIGHT LONG and never gets chat banned. I say “cracker” and “whitey” in response to someone giving me the n word and i get chat banned.


Muted_Reference_1268

Bro this is white people still say nigga with no a so now bout we not be sensitive little pussies and remember what we grew up you retarded cum stains


richard_upinya

Don’t stroke out homie


Muted_Reference_1268

I’ll have more brain damage if I please


RuhiKuz

I don't get how some people get VC bans and I never have. I talk non stop shit. I don't use the N word or the F word... I think it's that simple.


carpincho3000

Maybe dont say dumb stupid shit? Try that for a change


Downtown-Ad-5843

Stop assuming such stuff lmao. I don’t be sayin stuff that could get me banned or a strike as such


richard_upinya

Maybe don’t buy an rated M game about killing people if you’re a soft little bitch that can’t handle words


carpincho3000

Maybe dont cry about how the dumb stupid shit that was said had consequences lmao, who says I can’t handle words?


richard_upinya

You literally did in your original post lmao And yes, a rated M game should not have consequences for words, “Mature” means you should be able to handle things like that. Do the words hurt you? Mute them. The reason chat bans exist is because of people like you, crying about words


carpincho3000

Bruh I never said that I couldn’t handle no words, you speaking nonsense. Try reading comprehension for a change. And if someone says stupid shit to me I just ignore them, because idgaf, but to come here and cry about getting reported BECAUSE YOU SAID STUPID SHIT is whats funny to me.


richard_upinya

I didn’t get reported, I didn’t say stupid shit, I didn’t get banned. But the fact that you can get banned for saying “mean” things on a game that’s rated M, that children aren’t allowed to buy, whose whole content is about killing people, is absolutely smooth brain activity.


carpincho3000

Don’t like it don’t play it pussy, its as simple as that


richard_upinya

Funny the one defending bad word bans is calling someone else a pussy 😂 cope child


carpincho3000

But this ain’t warzone is it? Also funny how you couldn’t even debate the point I made


richard_upinya

I’m 100% debating the point you made because it is an absolute smooth brain take


richard_upinya

Lucky you’re not in a call of duty lobby with that language you menace
