Can bhvr please add a system that bans people that say certain words in chat?
Why isn't there a system in place that bans players that tell others to kill themselfs, or extreme words
I shouldn't have to report every time someone says this, there should be a system in place that automaticly flags this words

Define "Extreme Words" Everyone views different words as "Extreme". Not to mention this is on the internet, I just choose to ignore them mainly cause I really don't care and have been on the internet for 11+ Years. My best suggestion is just to ignore them. A ban like this wouldn't stop them, It's just like the DC timer ban. What drives people to DC won't stop from this system being in place. Same thing with what you're suggesting.

Because there is context to everything. He could say "#########" in reference to being on the hook or a play you made in game that caused you to die.
There are too many contextual circumstances to simply ban those words. Just report it.

Racist or homophobic slurs?

Well It's like I said. That's something that needs to be defined. As I live in the U.S.A I don't really get all that offended over stuff. I just try to tell everyone to simply put up with it if it's on the internet and live on with your life. AKA I don't see them as that big of a deal :L "That does not mean I use those words either"

I'd rather people grow a backbone and let serious harassment get handled through reports.

If you are on the ps4 you can send a report in,if they have already been warned a few times they will get a band, i know for a time but uncertain how long.

Somebody over PSN messaging told me to kill myself. Instead of killing myself I decided to post the report to Sony. They came back to me saying that they could not see anything wrong with the message.
I'm still not going to kill myself, so take that Meg. And Sony.

Because automated systems can easily be circumvented and then you're back to square one, unless you have an absurd blocklist that gets in the way of normal communication. Just replace an E with 3, an A with 4 and so on - the meaning of the message doesn't change and you're back to having to report them and have someone look at the report again.
On the other end of the spectrum you get silly blocklists. I've played games that have characters that are actual knights... but you can't type the word "knight" because it has the first 3 letters of a racial slur in it! Which if you ask me is very, very silly and pointless.
