Disney Ban - Who Is It Moderating???

Yes Jade that pretty much sums up what I was saying. I remember back a couple years ago when the chat filters used to bleep out so many innocent words. There were times when I'd be trying to help someone sort out a problem with their computer and when I'd try to type Hard Drive the words were bleeped by the auto censor. Well now their system seems to catch certain combinations of letters and automatically assumes nefarious intent. Speaking of which the very word assume might put you into dangerous territory due to the first thee letters of the word. I was once in a conversation with a guildie and I was going to type Go Figure I hadn't yet had my morning coffee and being a clumsy typist anyway instead of typing F in figure I typed N got as far as Nig when I recieved one of those autowarnings from the system. I had no intention of attempting to type a racial slur and if a human moderater had reviewed the context of the conversation they would not have connected the typo with banned language. As that situation played out due to the warning issued that system automatically put the guildie I was in conversation with on ignore for the rest of the session and they had to contact me through another guildie to find out why I wasn't responding to their conversation. Point I'm trying to make is that most of these warnings and auto bans would be avoided with human moderater involvement, provided the moderator involved has a sufficient understanding of the English language and common sense, both commodities seem to be sadly lacking with Disney's moderation policy.
 
its the technology. if they just used real people instead of dumb machines they would probably not ban as many people. i mean like most of you have been saying if its a typo a human will look at it and say well they made a typo there not trying to type something bad or there trying to type something bad (clicks ban button). and thats another reason our economy is in the toilet. machines wich are taking human jobs. wich brings me to my point disney is stupid. and technology will be the death of the world. just my opinion.
 
I'm not against technology, as an engineer I work with it every day. Chat filters are only as good as the person who programmed them, they were never intended to take over the role of a human moderater. Tying them in with an autoban system is a serious mistake, especially when those filters are as poorly programmed as the ones in the game.
 
Just pay more ppl to be moderators, or, pay good money for good programmers, right, Red? Unfortunately, Disney is willing to do neither ...

trust me i am no enemy of tech in fact i like it but it still is good and bad
 
I had a friend who was band for saying kk ( of course he added another one by mistake), or instead of saying hi guys! you may add an "A" instead of "U" if you weren't looking at the keyboard, They should know that sometimes it's a mistake. But I think you can appeal I guess.
 
Can you imagine how many human moderators it would take to filter....my god...there are tons of people on Abassa alone, it would take countless monitors on a Saturday night. I don't claim to know as much as you guys do about the technolgy, cause I'm just a map maker, but if they want to keep their unlimited members, they best find some other ways to handle this!
 
I'm kinda scared about Rose getting banned (or worse... term.) because I was trying to type the word "How" and I was typing too fast so I clicked E, making it "woman".... I mean... it's what you use to garden... right... But I mean come on, the W and E are right next to each other! Hopefully by having my next sentence be "oops I meant how*" there might be a chance of it not happening.

I got permanently banned from TTC ( Toontown Central) for something just a stupid as you did, but in my case, I dont care I am not a fan of that forum much I found a better one. So it was my fault I got the permanent ban than just a 3 day.

I heard Disney doesn't check your log until you get reported a couple times. I'm not sure if thats true, but getting warned/banned for a capitalization error? Not right!
 
Seriously? You can be banned for typos? I would be pretty unhappy if I was an unlimited member and that happened. I was thinking about maybe giving unlimited a month try but since I am such a bad typist.... hmm.
 
I can remember when actual moderaters used to come into the game and deal with problems. It seems whats happened over the past couple years is that they have come to rely more and more on robotic filters and automatic bans. They have never been known to use good sense in their moderation policies, but it was much better when actual moderaters were involved in sorting things out.
they need to do that again!
Riot, anyone?
YEAH!!!!!!!!! TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS!!!! lol
can we? :cool:
I got banned awhile ago for saying AHOY MATES! in caps
wow; pointless; i have no respect left for disney
Relying too much on auto filters and auto bans is the height of stupidity, I mentioned before that the Rat doesn't excercise a lot of common sense in their moderation policies. I've known of people getting bans for typos. And in many cases the idiotic filters catch words that were perfectly innocent in the context they are used. To quote a famous or infamous headshrinker
i like that quote
and i got banned for trying to say "scatter shot" but accidentally typed "scatter crap"
I hate disney -_-

In other words ... you're saying that Disney team's thinking is 'filthy' by default (just like Freud was) and can't see the innocent context sometimes. Because of some machine. I like that! Good analogy!
i think those machines just stepped out of a modern high school O_O

That's more or less what's happening. Computers can only analyze chat as it literally appears, they can't decipher context, or take typos into account. Fortunately the only case where automatic bans occur is when someone outright uses a vulgar word. Other words/phrases can just flag for review by a moderator.. though the Disney moderators are as bad at making fair judgements as the people approving names are at approving names.

Fortunately Disney does accept appeals to bans, so if you ever get banned because of a mistake on their part, just give them a call and it can be reversed.
they need WATSON lol,
HEY IBM, HELP DISNEY OUT WOULD YA???
wish i knew i could appeal :p

Anyway, ppl just work around it by saying bad words one letter per line, and even if you report them, nothing happens because they DONT LOOK AT THE CONTEXT -_-
they need to give us comment boxes for report because if you report someone for behavior, nothing happens unless more than one person reports, by which i mean people who crash people in jail with the staff/doll glitch
 
Someone reported me for Rude or Mean Behavior when I teleported off my ship... And I got banned. What is so rude/mean about TELEPORTING OFF MY SHIP TO GET BACK AT SOMEONE for teleporting off theirs?
I also got banned when I mistyped "Duck" when talking about "The Duck Song".... I understand why they banned me, but I live chatted them and said I was talking about "The Duck Song".. 'Course, it's normal for Disney to not believe me. They also banned me for talking about whether the new loot is worth it, and then jumping subjects to warships.
Subject switching is not permitted on the game now....?
I get that they want to keep the game fair, but.... Take it easy on the bans Disney :mad: And I got WARNED for saying "I LOVE kittehs!!!" while running around Abassa with swift foot. Don't ask why I did that, 'cause I don't know... Abassa is like the worst place to be if you want to chat.

disney goes crazy with that and they never believe anything trust me ive tried talking my way out of my ban (which normally works i can talk my way out of lots of things) they didnt care i do random stuff too but i mean come on disney at least make sure they deserve the ban idk if u could sue them for that but u never know because ur paying for the game and they give u a ban for no reason when u payed for that time to play
