The problem with self moderated community servers
I was playing in one of the Bob's Battlebit Community servers and was disgusted by what was going on in the chat. It was overly sexual. For example, a whole conversation went on about who would get to peg who. Also conversations about sexual books and other sexual actions. In any other circumstance this would be considered harassment as well as just overall inappropriate. From a dev aspect I see why it is easier to have communities moderate themselves but what I experienced was just too much and I would like to see a change. My most concerning point is that people playing in that server could be under the age of 18, making things said to each other, first of all disgusting, and illegal. This can also be seen as a formal report against Bob's Battlebit Community because this is not the first time conversations like that have been had. One player even said to me "it is always like this" which just makes this even worse. I do not have screenshots because it was all disgusting but a look through the chat logs seems to be necessary. I hope this finds the right person and some action is taken.
Thank you,
Don Cheadle

Voice and Text Chat moderation is not self moderated alone, if this really is a problem and there's no community moderator on to take care of it you can still report players like normal and eventually it will be reviewed by official moderators; what you see often takes place in official servers as well.
Ultimately if someone under 18 is playing this game it's the parents responsibility to monitor what they're exposed too.
Try messaging their discord about it and/or message @Modmail and open a ticket about the individuals, though it's unlikely anyone is going to be baby sitting your kids on the internet, that's the parents job.
I hope this helps "Gamer Girl Bath Water"
we are going through reports from community servers as well, if you feel that in game reports is not enough, feel free to DM @Modmail and select "Trust & Safety" category, we will surely take a look
one of the reasons i dont play bobs
but thats their community
i know that is just that community but it is terrible
i dont want to see people get groomed in an fps game
π brother thereβs literally no grooming that I can see, at most itβs just goofy chat. I and other bob regulars can vouch. Also as cleo said this βsus chatβ happens on official servers too. Not exclusive to a single community one
If you think itβs going too far in chat bobβs server has a mod mail system in which you can contact their mods and theyβll look into chat logs/voice. (Ofc recording interactions for reporting purposes does help them too.)
Edit: from the bobβs server its self https://discord.com/channels/1142959625197600922/1194869753722970143/1197496377136132127
Eh Iβve noticed it a lot more on bobs vs official personally
True, bobs is known for weird chat but itβs not exclusive to that serber
Oh 100% not
But it is weird with the tags you can get
But letβs just blame cateat lol
yeah seems like the cateat cheaters are just allowed to run rampant on bobs
