Rainbow Six Siege Doubling Down on Banning Racist, Homophobic Language
Rainbow Six Siege is making changes to the systems in place to ban those using racist and homophobic language, as well as other hate speech, in game.
A Reddit post details the punishments, ranging from 2 days to permanent bans, which will be applied case-by-case depending on the severity of the infraction.
The post states the language taken action against is explained in the games Code of Conduct to be “Any language or content deemed illegal, dangerous, threatening, abusive, obscene, vulgar, defamatory, hateful, racist, sexist, ethically offensive or constituting harassment is forbidden.”
Furthermore, players who are banned for such language will receive a personal pop-up as well as a global message stating the user was banned for toxicity.
Lastly the post states these are only the first steps and information about future plans to further manage toxicity will be shared at a later date.
Ubisoft's teams are not the only ones trying to expel toxicity from their player bases — Blizzard's Overwatch devs recently discussed their approach to finding and subsequently banning toxic players.
Rainbow Six Siege is also making changes to Renown costs to make operators cheaper, which is good news given the plan is to release 100 operators over the next 10 years.
