This new Rainbow Six Siege toxicity system is being implemented to curb the use of racial or homophobic slurs. Players caught using hate speech will receive bans from the game and these bans can range in severity from two days to a permanent ban from the game. The system for tracking toxicity in Rainbow Six Siege will utilize the existing [reporting features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-10) but will also implement a new [chat-filtering system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/censorfy). This filtering system is fully automated and will censor text in chats and will replace words deemed offensive. The filtering system will also track the number of times a player triggers this feature and will take action to ban the player for frequent use. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 4% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/games) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Toxicity-curbing Chat Filters:** Implementing automated chat-filtering systems to curb hate speech and offensive language in online gaming communities. - **Toxicity Tracking and Reporting:** Developing new ways to monitor and track toxicity in online gaming communities, allowing for more effective enforcement of rules and regulations. - **Improved Player Bans:** Implementing enhanced banning systems, including temporary and permanent bans, to discourage toxic behavior in online gaming communities. ### Where This Applies - **Online Gaming:** Creating innovative solutions that foster positive and inclusive online gaming experiences, by curbing toxicity and hate speech. - **Artificial Intelligence:** Leveraging AI-driven chat-filtering systems to automatically identify and replace offensive language in real-time. - **Community Management:** Developing strategies and tools for managing online gaming communities, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all players. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Toxicity-Focused Moderation Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/team-bds.md) - [Voice-Chat Reporting Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/safety-feature.md) - [Military Simulation Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-six-mobile.md) - [Real-Time Game Chat Protections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/voicepatrol.md) - [Cooperative Alien Survival Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rainbow-six-extraction.md) - [Safe Youth-Focused Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roblox-safety-and-civility.md) - [Esports Cosmetics Storefronts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/r6share.md) - [Transparent Community Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2022-h1-transparency-report.md) - [Creator-Focused Game Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/siege-x.md)
