Fix Yeeps Moderation

[torn lodge]

Part 2/3

Not taking Enough Action
There are very many cases of people simply not being banned for things that they should be banned for. There is a perfect example for this, that happened recently with my friend. They want to retain anonymity, so I will not be saying their name. This person was called a man (they go by they/them) and when they told this to the person telling them this, they persisted, and even caressed their head in-game. This made them feel very uncomfortable, and when they made a ticket, the moderator said that they couldn't ban, and could only warn. This isn't even the moderator's fault, it's the system's. I want to make it clear that no moderators are to blame.

Failing to Educate the Community
Yeeps fails to educate the community on what's wrong and what's right. This causes countless problems, such as the fact that people false report because they don't know what rules mean, or people get banned for things they didn't even know counted as breaking ToS. I have been false reported countless times, for simply going about my day in Yeeps. Why? Because they don't know what is and isn't okay in the community. If it's to the point where your own moderators have to make videos in an attempt to do your work, it clearly needs fixing. Shockwave, (awesome mod btw) has made multiple videos about the Yeeps rules. Instead of your community having to do the work, the platform should. ToS needs a desperate update, because almost no one without Discord knows the actual rules. I have seen people in Yeeps who don't know the difference between slurs and swear words, because they weren't educated enough by the platform. People need to be given the chance to learn your game, Trass.

Part 3/3

work in progress

[high sorrel]

I can agree with you on these points, but I think the moderation mainly has a consistency problem, some people get banned for somethings, some don't. I think each moderator has their own rules and standards which is not good. But yeah, a fix for the moderation in this game is needed

[torn lodge]

thats what i'm saying

[foggy vortex]

Hey at least it's not as bad as roblox

[torn lodge]

that's not saying anything.

just because it's not the worst on the earth, doesn't mean that it's okay.

[harsh dawn]

yeah there is a problem I see what you mean

[copper snow]

@fierce burrow feel like you may like this suggestion

[torn lodge]

if you guys feel comfortable sharing your guys' stories, I would greatly appreciate that.

[lunar cargo]

people saying alot of bad stuff outside discord and not getting punished for it due to that rule

its horrible

i remember you used to if it was yeeps related but 2 of my tickets have been turned down at they cant take action outside of discord

stupid reasoning because i gave video proof that it was their account saying those things

and not a fake or faked dms

[torn lodge]

I completely agree. The fact that they only take action inside of their discord is horrible. People have been treated horrible outside of their discord, and the fact that they simply don't take action is seriously wrong. This happened to me once, actually. Someone thought I was a girl, and started trying to literally SA me.

not a joke, by the way.

[lunar cargo]

also they change their situation depending on who you ask

if you asked one mod it would be a warn but another might say a ban

if im going to lose my lr for being loud or as gustavo described it "earape" than i dont think jb should keep his star creator from getting vc banned

[golden mountain]

one time, JACKDATGOOBER started being toxic to me in dms

because he reported me and was trying to get me banned

[lunar cargo]

when my removal was easily avoidable just with a mute button

[torn lodge]

damn

I'm sorry that happened to u

[golden mountain]

the fact this guy has 4.1k subs is astonishing

considering the way he acts outside of it

[torn lodge]

oh damn that's wild

a crap ton of people are horrible outside of their YouTube person

[golden mountain]

ik..

[torn lodge]

I knew a person that kinda turned into a not-so good person

I don't wanna say who though

actually I know two

one of them like kinda treated me weirdly thinking I was a girl and the one I js said was the other one

I'm not gonna say any names

imma update the thing rq

its gonna be way longer

[golden mountain]

is that a good thing

/j

[torn lodge]

i think

its gonna be almost to text limit prob

[lunar cargo]

text limit is way higher i think

they guy mightve been nitro

[lunar cargo]

you can edit this message to continue it

small correction

[torn lodge]

i hit limit

[lunar cargo]

jbs making a vid on the situation

[torn lodge]

oh mb

should I js remove that then?

the fact that they're just not taking away star because he's famous?

[lunar cargo]

dms

[torn lodge]

Fix Yeeps Moderation

[fierce burrow]

I have a ton of evidence pointing towards the entire moderation system being straight garbage

As a whole

It’s literally comparable to Roblox moderation

[lunar cargo]

the moderation sucks but idk bout all of that

[snow mica]

okay i wouldn't go that far

we aren't out here banning good players in the community that help make the game a better place by banning 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴s yet

i like this suggestion

the moderation is horrible

doesn't the in game report button do nothing?

ig i can't them to read every in game report, but that's a dumb system

why's it there if it doesn't rly work

[lament junco]

I’ve had one dude use the discord to get me in a dms, yell at me multiple racial slurs, threats, and other insanely rude stuff, and what did the mods do? Nothing

Also @torn lodge I have a suggestion semi related to this called gamemode rules, it would
be a discord channel, explaining rules to each gamemode, how griefing in bug modes and hangout is bannable (since it’s the point of the map to build) and how in hide and seek, ffa, monster, goblin, and PvP, u can break as many pillows as u want. ALSO, the “harassment” rule is possibly the most mis understood rule out there

[snow mica]

one of my friends had the same thing happen

moderation is so inconsistent

they say the mods have a set of agreed upon rules but they don't seem to have an agreed upon punishment

that also gives the game a really bad look, considering some slurs can be punished more than others

which is really bad

[torn lodge]

thats literally js a lie

[snow mica]

okay i kinda doubt they tell the mods "hey if it's bad do something about it, now go away" lol

there's gotta be something in their system causing a mess up, but either way, there is a mess up

[vast kite]

i agree with taking action outside of yeeps. i once met someone ingame and he told me to go into a private code. i started recording just in case, and in the code he started explaining in detail, how he could hack the game, add his own blocks, change his butcoins amount, and more, but just in case he wanted my discord so he could screen share and go into even more detail. and just in case i needed more proof, i gave him it and he showed the files and some stuff he was gonna do, and also talked about hacking other games. i made a ticket and it got immediately closed.

[gusty ravine]

I do agree that that stuff is absurd, but it's not like yeeps owns discord, they can't really do anything about dms, but I do agree if it's literally about yeeps, with a video from yeeps, that's kinda dumb

[vast kite]

yeah he went it so much detail inside of yeeps

[gusty ravine]

Did you try not involving the dms and see if they do anything then? Just showing the video?

[vast kite]

no i didn’t but still i don’t think that would change anything because i said i had ingame proof

and they still didn’t do anything

[gusty ravine]

I'm just saying they may have just seen the discord stuff and been like "oh that's not yeeps related" and then closed it

[storm sluice]

I'd say The DM part just block em
Trass cant really block people for doing things outside their game/discord

[lunar cargo]

then why did they used too

[storm sluice]

wdym

[lunar cargo]

they used to and no one had issues with it

it got bad actors outside the yeeps community

[storm sluice]

wait

nah thats right

Content creators would be banned if they did that

so should normal people then

[lunar cargo]

rev

[scarlet grotto]

One time a mod was about to ban me for paint greifing a map that NOBODY CARED ABOUT, luckily his head set crashed before he could ban me, still though I could have got banned for basically nothing.

[terse forum]

yea

the mods are defo very inconsistent

i think that the thing with stars is fair

as they said, if people found out they removed a star over a mic ban, there would be some crashouts

i still dont think it makes sense to have those rules be inconsistent

but it makes some sense

i think that they should make certain types of mic bans a removal, regardless of roles, and certain ones not a removal

toxicity / bigotry? remove their roles

something less important is fine

regular bans should be no matter what

since those are much higher up in terms of being bad

the rules on griefing should be changed though

"griefing" is so absurdly broad

[vestal quartz]

pls type in one message im begging

[terse forum]

no

[golden mountain]

one message im begging

[vestal quartz]

ive been outsmarted

[terse forum]

you can pick up a block and place it back down and thats griefing

[vestal quartz]

well thats it pack it up fellas

[terse forum]

they said "pls type in one message im begging"

youre wrong

[golden mountain]

only on tuesdays

[golden mountain]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

😔

[terse forum]

you can paint one thing and its griefing

[vestal quartz]

MIKE! REBUILD THE SET! REBUILD MY KIDS!

[terse forum]

theres not even data for who placed stuff down

you could literally change your own build and someone could think youre griefing

[golden mountain]

uh

whos gonna tell him

[terse forum]

well there is

but not that a player can find

[golden mountain]

yeah, some guy leaked the function of the magnifying glass

shows who placed something

[terse forum]

magnifying glass?

[golden mountain]

a mod exclusive item

[terse forum]

all collaborations on a build are technically griefing too

[terse forum]

so its useless for what i mean then

griefing is so broad that you can get banned for literally just being in a public wilds

im lucky enough to be able to basically intimidate people into not abusing it

but thats not like a solution or something

[lunar cargo]

i dont think you can just say that

isnt it meant to be kept private

[golden mountain]

it was posted in the yeeps server

[terse forum]

wouldnt literally everyone who sees a mod use it be able to tell?

[golden mountain]

theres prob thousands who know about it

[golden mountain]

not if they kept it secret for this long

[terse forum]

magnifying glass shouldnt be mod exclusive tho

it helps in reports

[golden mountain]

its used to moderate things

[terse forum]

just let others use it

[golden mountain]

well

[terse forum]

it also helps in filing a report

[golden mountain]

there aint much we can do about it

[terse forum]

we should have access to any data collection tools that arent intrusive

magnifying glass is fair

we should be able to use it in that case

[terse forum]

the educating part i think is being worked on by Gomes

theyre adding smth to delve deeper into rules ingame

i think the only real issues are inconsistency and not taking enough action (or taking too much action with stuff like wilds)

they need a redo of the rules, and making mods be more specific to it

make the more important stuff more punishing, make the less important stuff less punishing

and they need to fix how bad wilds moderation is

[lunar cargo]

the rules have been the same for abt a year

ingame atleast

[terse forum]

yea gomes started working on it relatively recently i think

idk

something like that

[lunar cargo]

ill have to check that out

i really hope he is tho

[terse forum]

wilds rules are SO bad though

the rules on griefing are so insane

you have to basically be a master at intimidation to not get banned in wilds

like you have to actively convince people to not report you for the smallest things

they need to make the rules less strict on it

paint griefing is an issue, but theres a difference between a build and something someone happened to place down

and theres a difference between destroying a build and trying to get inside something with no door

[fierce burrow]

Eh they kinda did something that’s ever so slightly similar although it didn’t involve freaks and all that. But I do have reason for saying that

[normal reef]

Some guy false reported me when I unmuted him

[devout tartan]

i completely agree with this, and im glad someone brought attention to this

[torn lodge]

i'm so glad that this suggestion is getting traction

[untold cargo]

another thing is voice bans

[queen orbit]

peak suggestion

[karmic wind]

Something similar happened to me, i was in a lobby by myself in a wilds because i got there first. Then this guy came up and started being weird to me, so i reported him and tried to kick him but the lobby said it was "false kicking" and then everyone kicked me

[terse forum]

kicking isnt yeeps moderation

thats just a feature that people can use

[karmic wind]

I know

[terse forum]

false kicking isnt a thing because its a vote

and if more than half of the lobby was that dense

did you really want to be there tbh?

[storm sluice]

yea it is though

and incredibly annoying too

[terse forum]

its never technically 'false'

the lobby chose to vote you out

[storm sluice]

for a false reason

[terse forum]

which means that that lobby wasnt probably very good

if they were saying yes blindly on a vote

[storm sluice]

it was though (one of the few cases, but still was a good lobby)
They just believed the little timmy instead :(

[pulsar moss]

I like this

[quasi nebula]

Yes bro

[charred bough]

On alot of these I do agree but maybe JB should have had his cc and lr taken but star is a little extreme for a vc ban but yeah there is some inappropriate builds in wilds that cant be banned because its technically not against the rules

[torn lodge]

if someone is screaming racial slurs at you in DMs and you have proof, you don't think they should be banned?

[gusty ravine]

They totally should, but that should be taken up with discord, not yeeps

It's discord's dms

[lunar cargo]

discord barley takes action

[snow mica]

you think it's perfectly fine that yeeps is okay with slurs until they're in the server?

i don't think so

if you're holding a community like this, it shouldn't just be "that's not my problem"

[gusty ravine]

That's literally 100% not what I'm saying, what I'm saying is that I can see why yeeps can't do anything, not that they shouldnt

[modest trench]

didnt even have to read the rest of the parts... this is just straight peak

another thing which is a mistake is updating the false reporting policy which was so idiotic or not fully explaining the community guidelines, due to this, the community finds it hard to understand the rules and essentialy breaking them without them even knowing. well its common sense right? no. kids play this game and doesnt fully understand what discrimination is or homophobia

[true hatch]

You should only be punished in Yeeps for things you did in Yeeps

[modest trench]

what did he do?

[thin jay]

We NEED to at least wipe some of the current rules, have minimum double the rules we have now, and have set punishments for each rule and how intensely the rule was broken. (Intensely was the best word i could think of for this situation)

[thin jay]

Bump cause we need this

[thin jay]

Another bump

[craggy steeple]

This feels so true

I cant agree more with you people

@torn lodge
This is perfect!

I have a lot of report tickets when I told the moderator that he was wrong and gave the wrong punishment.
And im right, and it is just annoying that moderators have a different aspect of the actions players take ingame.
Once someone laughed at me cuz he said I wasn't a labrat, so I showed him the badge, and then it just get removed!
And I've been told that I was flexing my role, and it is so ANNOYING

[modest trench]

i mean.... that is flexxing ur badge

[craggy steeple]

How?!
I had to prove him that I am!

[modest trench]

Look. doing reports its fine. but going around without the lr badge and when someone does smth wrong. you cant just saying. buddy you are going to get BANNED for that, and then show the lr badge to show ur in the discord. If i were you just keep ur lr on if you want to show everyone ur a lr. but dont hide and pretend your lr badge is a mod badge

[craggy steeple]

I didnt do that

[craggy steeple]

I was just walking to wilds when someone just started shouting on me and laughing that im not a LabRat, so i just put my badge on

[modest trench]

well what got to the point where he is laughing at u then?

[craggy steeple]

That im not a labrat ig

[modest trench]

I refuse to believe that in a billion years

no way there is kids SCREAMING and laughing if somebody is not a lr

[terse forum]

The issue is that if they punished people with their rules for stuff they said in other places, possibly a pretty long time ago, that becomes a much bigger problem

Not to mention that doing that for everyone would be too difiicult

Hence why they only do it for rev+ or mod+ (one of the two)

[snow mica]

okay, but slurs? i can understand not punishing for swears, but if you're doing things that are generally unwanted, you should probably be punished

and it's not like it'd change much, tickets still get opened for off-server discord issues

i guess i'm only assuming but yk

[uncut sedge]

I got banned from the Discord for 7 days for sending a picture that had the caption “I Eat Children.” I didn’t know why I was banned until my 6th day of being banned. I thought my image was immature at most and did not warrant a 7-day Discord suspension, along with revoked LabRat privileges.

[thin jay]

We need fix

[modest trench]

Thats even crazier because there is someone in this server called "I eat kids" and no action was taken on him

[snow mica]

wth?

what is up with the inconsistent bans here

i swear my humor is darker than that

[uncut sedge]

Not to mention, I sent four appeals. Out of the four I sent, a moderator only replied to one. It took me talking about this in an entirely separate server to be acknowledged. The other three appeals were denied with zero message attached. If a standard person saw the image I sent, they wouldn’t be repulsed and would likely understand it is entirely a joke.

[steady bolt]

this happened to me once

[thin jay]

Scared, intensifies.

[tired gust]

A kid in the desert lab came up to me and asked if saying “That’s kinda gay” is bannable if he mean’t it in a joking manner. I said I wasn’t sure. Then 2 mods came in and he asked them the same thing. The mods said he would get banned for that and the poor kid was in tears. He genuinely was a nice kid and definitely did not mean to say it offensively. The point is he wasn’t educated on the rules because of the moderation.

On top of that some report tickets i make take ages to get a response.

[cursive meadow]

Can't wait for part three. I really agree with all of the points in this statement. I believe that the main reason why some people are so toxic is because of they're anonymous so I think we need more repercussions for their actions

[torpid totem]

At least it isn’t Roblox moderation

Tree

[devout tartan]

i was warned for saying "my father owns roblox"

[torpid totem]

That’s a insult

[devout tartan]

i suppose "tree" can stand for "ten rakes eating elmer" which is a direct insult towards elmer

[high sorrel]

I hate the people who do that, I say one thing kinda like that and there's always one person who says, "what's wrong with being gay?"

so true tho

[verbal ermine]

are you saying u hate ppl that defend their sexuality?

thats what it sounds like

[high sorrel]

no, I'm saying a I hate people that can't tell what a joke is

hate is a strong word tho

[verbal ermine]

ik, but some ppl can get very offended even by a joke

especially from one about sexuality

[eternal hinge]

finally someone said it

[devout tartan]

thats understandable, im not really a big fan of jokes like that myself

[high sorrel]

hot take but you shouldn't get offended by a joke because nobody actually believes it, if someone makes a joke about my sexuality, I'm not going to get mad about it because ik they are joking, ofc saying slurs and other harmful stuff is bad, but I wouldn't group that stuff is saying something is gay

[verbal ermine]

it offends me, too when ppl say that.

[verbal ermine]

thats you, some ppl do idk

[limber iris]

yeah ok ive been SH 'd around 5 times in game thus far due to my status as transfem. i reported all of them but only 2 were ever banned because they also happened to reveal themselves to be underage. the others were merely left off with a warning. as much as i love this game, ive always found it daunting to actually interact with others online ingame because of my experience with the various random players who leave me feeling unwelcome

[hasty ingot]

Whens the next part bud

[hasty ingot]

I feel so bad but i support you

[lunar cargo]

i mean what else is there to talk about

[queen orbit]

im so sorry to hear what's happening to you. honestly it must be pretty scary to go online and talk to random people who'll just make fun of you for who you are. you shouldn't have to experience that kind of stuff, and i hope those people actually get the punishments they deserve.

[cursive meadow]

Making fun of people for that kind of stuff is so shallow. I don't understand why some people act so rude and mean for absolutely no reason or purpose. People who do that kind of stuff should feel bad for acting like that

[torn lodge]

whenever i figure out the next thing to say y

yo*

[torn lodge]

again, saying that it isn't the worst in the world, doesn't mean it's good.

[limber iris]

ok ill admit i kinda exaggerated my current experience with the game. i dont find it difficult to go online at all, if not nowhere near as much as ive implied here.
nevertheless from the times i have played the game recently, ive always had issues with harassment from others, almost every other day i play i find at least one person being like "ahhh there is NO WAY youre a girll ahhhh" with varying levels of harshness. just the other day someone tried to votekick me because my voice just wasnt matching up with who i was, and its just really, really invalidating
on some days i feel insecure about even speaking in-game, because in a lot of situations it just leads to petty drama. it gets really draining in excess

granted this isnt much of a moderation thing regarding, well, being trans, as yeeps has confirmed that they try to remain neutral on these topics, but it just ends up getting really messy in practice sometimes i feel

[devout tartan]

im really sorry that you have to go through that. its really hard to be in online games like that without being laughed at. most kids just dont understand what its like.

[queen orbit]

revive

[plucky warren]

Yeah the moderation is very inconsistent because I have reported many people for harassment and many were not punished and some were warned but I when I harassed someone I wasn’t warned I was just banned.

[queen orbit]

harassment can vary it's punishments. if you ask the user to stop two or more times, and they continue to harass you, then stop, it's a warning. if they never stop harassing you, it's a ban.

i think, at least.

[plucky warren]

Really because i reported someone for nonstop harassing me to the point where I had to leave the lobby and when I reported them they only received a warning.

[lunar cargo]

rev

[craggy steeple]

.

[eternal zinc]

One time, a dude was like following me around and just being a general @22. I told him to stop like, what? A billon times? and he didn't stop :|

[south latch]

I got almost banned for griefing a sky base in blue house, mod said it was harassment but… I’m so sure it only counts if your doing it to 1 PERSON, this sky base was run by 6 people.. and anyone who tried to grief it got the same message. “Stop, your harassing us” But others were at it too

So bad to the point where when the mod left… the sky base was gone In 0.1 seconds

It’s wrong to grief I know but still

[eternal zinc]

yeah

[south latch]

That might be abusing powers mayb?

[eternal zinc]

bro idk

mayb

[dawn wedge]

I’m pretty sure that it works when a lot of people report you around the same time, to prevent false reports or smt

Not sure tho

[queen orbit]

they were in the right

it counts if you're doing it to multiple people

not just one person

[lapis mountain]

i hate other people thinking that saying stop 3 times validates a ban. because im just smacking them around with daggers or a bat and theyre like "stop"
"stop"
"stop"
"OK THATS REPORTABLE"
no it aint. its not reportable. pretty much the only thing is reportable in playmode is swearing.
full misconception. its someone has to greif 3 CREATIVE MODE blocks to validate a report. + a video

[lapis mountain]

the thing is its not bannable to grief a pillow skybase. nor is it harrasment
harrasement entails you swearing or verbally bullying someone OR not allowing someone to build in creative mode.

[snow mica]

see this is the problem

there are so many different ways to interpret the rules, and that applies to the mods themselves i'm pretty sure

i don't think there's a consistent "this is bannable"

[eternal zinc]

I feel like I should have a personal right to say stop and get personal space/people to stop hitting me around
i dunno man I have specific needs and sometimes, i need people to respect my space

[snow mica]

i mean yeah, but you can just get away from them, in yeeps especially

the movement in this game is crazy

[eternal zinc]

funny thing, I suck at moving around compared to others

like i'm alright, but, yeah... I would probably get chased back

like real hard

[snow mica]

okay on second thought i don't know what i was saying, it should definitely be reportable if someone's harassing you

[eternal zinc]

yeah lmao

like, I share this everywhere, but...
I have ||Autism|| and I need my personal space sometimes
Especially if I get overwhelmed. (especially in wilds)

[snow mica]

wait why's autism spoilered XD

yeah idk what i have but i'm definitely nuerodivergent in some way so i get that 🔥

[eternal zinc]

yeah that's what i'm sayyyyiiiinnngggg

[verbal ermine]

at least it isnt gtag 😔

[copper snow]

[celest furnace]

👍

whoever thought not taking action outside of yeeps is very stupid

[unkempt reef]

damn

[uncut sedge]

ngl I think the moderation kinda treats us like toddlers

[queen orbit]

if someone tells you to stop hitting them two or more times, regardless of the mode you're in, and you continue, it is reportable

[static oar]

where part 3/3

:c

[golden mountain]

no, you dont gotta say it multiple times

once would suffice

[snow mica]

can anyone cite any source at all???

y'all are all just saying things baselessly

"you can only say stop 3 times in creative!"
"no, you can say it anywhere!"
"no, you only have to say it once!"

and then nobody proves it

[torn lodge]

real

[torn lodge]

yo i js dont know what to write in there

[torn lodge]

people literally go "stop stop" and if you dont immediately stop they instantly report you.

[snow mica]

if this is the case i'm gonna start asking people to stop breathing three times and report them when they have a pulse

it's genuinely such a stupid rule if you can just say stop three times to anything

[celest furnace]

pvp game modes like goblin and ffa are a exception

[celest furnace]

finally a legal way to end my victims

[lunar yoke]

⚠️Sensitive⚠️

||I’ve fell victim to a bad actor in discord DMs. I was approached in DMs with links to join an n**w discord server. When I made a discord report, I was told “we can’t take action from outside of Yeeps” when he was an active user on the discord, constantly sending messages. After I told him to not send me those, he sent me more to different servers. I blocked him, but knew I couldn’t do anything about him.||

[snow mica]

you can't be serious

that type of harassment is just fine to yeeps???

what are we doing bro

i gotta quit

[storm sluice]

what about PVP eh?

cause thats where most of those reports come in from

[queen orbit]

moderators don't take action on once

I've had reports denied because I've only asked them once

but when i ask them twice action is taken

[queen orbit]

you could argue harassment is a thing in pvp, but obviously in more of a targeting way. when I said regardless of the mode i was talking about just play mode and creative mode

[queen orbit]

if they target you it's not an exception

[junior juniper]

Is false kicking punishable?

Cause this guy was griefing maps in wilds and then when I followed him (somehow) to other wilds he tried to kick me and DID report me. 3 other people around came to see what was happening and half said "a mod told me false kicking was bannable" and the other half said "false kicking is completely allowed."

[queen orbit]

it's allowed

[junior juniper]

💀

[queen orbit]

false kicking doesn't exist

[junior juniper]

Yes it does

[queen orbit]

im not having this argument with you
false kicking does not exist
ask a moderator
goodbye

[junior juniper]

I mean like, if I say this person griefed, and they try to kick me, kicking is a punishment but they dont have reason ir anything

Either way

[snow mica]

you don't have to have a reason to kick someone

thus, no false kick because no false reason

[junior juniper]

That's so dumb

[snow mica]

i mean, if they had it so there were rules, you could be a nuisance in wilds while doing things that aren't kickable, it'd make it unfun

[junior juniper]

Just saying...

[snow mica]

like if the guidelines didn't say anything against pushing people away from their builds, you could do that without being kicked while still being disruptive

[elder ridge]

I had like 5 people false report me in wilds before because I removed something i made

[lunar yoke]

Should we protest

Go to different servers, speech, and protest

[stiff phoenix]

At least its not straight up dog water than animal company

[celest furnace]

tageting yes but in general no

[queen orbit]

most harassment cases relate to targeting so yeah in general

[torn lodge]

i've had that happen like 45 times in the time i've been playing

[torn lodge]

again, saying it's not horrible doesn't mean it's acceptable.

[drowsy narwhal]

one time benu banned a guy for killing him after he said stop in boat battle

[drowsy narwhal]

toxicity I don't agree with bc what if someone was being toxic to them and had to give them a piece of their mind?

[boreal ridge]

I got banned for eating stuff in a privated lobby but I saw someone else griefing people’s builds in broad daylight and that person wasn’t banned.

Also someone reported me to the discord on the lab for hitting them off of a pillar

[lapis mountain]

ive been reported for it, SEVERAL times and im still not banned from it.

[dim arrow]

Fr I just got false banned and lost my roles

[torn lodge]

Bee movie script

[latent compass]

[lapis mountain]

im awair of what facism is

[torn lodge]

ok

[lapis mountain]

i just thought you misspelled it

[lunar cargo]

you could write it on a sign

[dim arrow]

I guess lol

Would take a lot of signs

[latent compass]

oh no copyright works if the video being used hasn’t been edited (at least for youtube that is)

[dim arrow]

Is there a limit on how many signs can be placed?

[lapis mountain]

ok basically no copy write

[latent compass]

if it’s all raw footage then ya

[lapis mountain]

ok someone needs to type the entire bee movie script on signs

and make a cw named beemovie

[latent compass]

😭

[lunar cargo]

that would be really hard lol

[latent compass]

that would go so hard tho

[lapis mountain]

balatro is almsot down downloading lets goo

[dim arrow]

But so worth it

[torn lodge]

Dreamworks would likely sue them (if they found out, that is)

[lapis mountain]

just change like 3 words your good

[torn lodge]

the bee movie script is copyrighted by dreamworks

[torn lodge]

could still get sued

[lunar cargo]

i dont think dreamworks cares about a cw in yeeps

[lapis mountain]

oh wiat i know

put it in the closest language to english that isnt english

[latent compass]

I’m not sure, the entire script of MANY shows and movies are online

[torn lodge]

thats why i added "if they found out"

[dim arrow]

"You like Jazz" -> "Yeeps don't sleep"

[torn lodge]

it is copyrighted, i checked just now.

[latent compass]

oh

[lapis mountain]

**Moderator Inconsistency **
We do have internal guides and procedures that all our moderators follow, which help us maintain consistency in our actions. Of course, there are situations where the nuances and context matter, and that may be the reason why there are different punishments for what one could interpret as similar rule breaks.

Analyzing and understanding each situation is the reason why we chose to have human moderators instead of just going 100% AI automated, which would lead to excessive and exaggerated punishments all over the place. Of course, some cases will always lead to mutes/bans, as there is no room for nuances/context; it's just straight up against the rules, but still, some of it requires that extra attention and understanding of the situation.

I would love to know the details about these examples you shared, so please let us know more about them through a general support ticket:#🔖・submit-support-ticket

Not taking Actions Outside of Yeeps
While in the past, we experimented with taking actions outside of the Yeeps Discord Server, we have learned from the experience that it was practically impossible to confirm whether the evidence was actually true or not. It takes seconds to edit what one says on a Discord DM or on another server, and there are absolutely no tools or ways for us to audit an external chat. Yes, some people edit evidence and record videos with the sole purpose of trying to get another player banned.

It's not that we don't care about what is being said on DMs or outside of our server; we are absolutely against the usage of slurs or any other type of harassment, no matter where it takes place.

While we can't take action on things that happen outside of the server, we do encourage the players to report those cases directly to Discord, which is responsible for the platform, and has tools to audit and confirm any misbehavior inside their app.

Here’s how to report a user to Discord: https://discord.com/safety/360044103651-reporting-abusive-behavior-to-discord

Additionally, we recommend that the players block any users who may be sending them unwanted messages.

Here is how to block a Discord user: https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/217916488-Blocking-Privacy-Settings

Discord will then analyze and take action against the player's account. They will not only be removed from our server but also from the entire platform once Discord terminates their accounts.

Privilege in Certain Parts of the Community
Honestly, there are no privileges within the community, but as I previously mentioned, in some cases, nuances and context will matter. In the example shared by you, the player lost all of their roles, as any other player would, but the extent of that specific rule break, and the nuances and situation in which it happened, led us to allow them to maintain their star creator role.

I can't get into details, but it was a fair punishment considering its nuances. Had it been any slurs or any other severe rule break, they wouldn't have kept any roles. The same goes for other players who break the rules. If you believe your ban was unfair, you can appeal it at https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1222721394559815710

for real this time

[lost solar]

Gustavo cooking something

[latent compass]

one of two is insane

[torn lodge]

OH CRAP

srry i did not see this

imma let u finish before replying

actually imma reply tmrw morning

[amber goblet]

Should calling someone gay be ban able they seem to exclusively see it as a insult which says a lot Abt them imo

[torn lodge]

depends on context

if someone's asking (idk why they would be in the first place) but like you say "yeah i am gay"

then that's perfectly fine

but if you were to use it to put someone down, yes it would be bannab

bannable*

[uncut sedge]

I got banned from the Discord for a week for saying, “I Eat Children.” It took almost four days for a person to respond to my appeal. I feel my post was immature at most.

[amber goblet]

THIS JUST HAPPENED

@torn lodge

[torn lodge]

yo

[amber goblet]

Literally just talking Abt why I got mic banned this is a joke🙄

[uncut sedge]

wait Gustavo is typing no way

[torn lodge]

i think the word "kisser" flagged it

[amber goblet]

I figured it was the big scary g-a-y word

[iron gorge]

dude i dropped ny phone and now it has a fat crack on it

[amber goblet]

Dang sorry bro

[amber goblet]

Aye I seen a kid who sounded like how this pic looks

[uncut sedge]

This got me banned for a week. 😄

[amber goblet]

I feel like yeeps is really sensitive when they should just focus on slurs and slur bait

Even then I built a machine and called one of the pieces useless and said the color which was black and got mic banned got unbanned later that night after I went to bed

So IDC it just feels like they kinda focus on small stuff

[uncut sedge]

Also, it took almost four days after my ban to learn what media had actually gotten me in trouble. My second appeal took nearly four days to be noticed. I think appeals should be required to have a response from moderators to ensure clarity.

[carmine night]

oh no

my message was too big I lost it

[uncut sedge]

aw man

[carmine night]

I will try to recover it

but hopefully I was able to answer some of your questions

[uncut sedge]

yay 😄

[carmine night]

Not taking Enough Action
We are sorry to hear that your friend has gone through that. We are always on the watch to take action against all kinds of forms of harassment; however, we cannot take action without evidence. Most of the time, we can find out and proactively take action on similar cases even before receiving reports on those players, but in some cases, we do need additional evidence to be able to understand the nuances and context in which some words/actions take place. If you are ever harassed or disrespected, please start recording immediately, and then tell the player to stop (while recording) so we can see how the situation develops. Then open a #🚨・game-reports and share the evidence with us. We will be happy to assist and take action against anyone who might be breaking the rules.

If our system fails to catch someone (for not-so-obvious rule breaks such as slurs), having this "complete" evidence against them will almost guarantee that they are going to be caught.

Failing to Educate the Community
To go along with the ToS, we have the in-game guidelines where the dos and don'ts are written down so every single player can see them. We have updated both the ToS and the guidelines multiple times to ensure the rules are well-written and easy to understand, but we do understand that some of them can be misinterpreted.

Based on our experience with different ways to display our rules, and after exploring a variety of ways to share our rules and communicate the guidelines, the in-game guidelines have proven to be the very best way to communicate and align our expectations with our players.

We can proudly say that our community is very well educated about the rules for the most part. It is very hard to find on other platforms or games, in which the community knows the rules as much as they do in Yeeps.

We know it is not perfect, and we are always hearing the community feedback and continuously working on improvements, which is part of the reason why we moved away from straight-up bans to mutes in some cases, so we could teach our community what is or isn't right, without completely blocking the players from playing the game for a one-time mistake. For those who have been playing Yeeps long enough, they have probably noticed how we have changed our approaches over time.

Despite our best efforts to display the guidelines in the lobbies next to the main board, making it almost impossible for one to miss it, we know that it's not always being read or seen by a few players. It's not their fault, but overall, the results are great.

Some answers to other comments I read in the thread
We are always actively working on improvements, and our goal is to have a safe community where our players and their spaces are respected. What may be a joke to one, might be extremely offensive to another person, so always be respectful, and stop when you are told to.

Yeeps has grown a lot throughout the months, but we are still a small company, so it might take us some time to get to your ticket and appeal. If you feel like you aren't being answered, don't hesitate to ping one of the <@&1307120450383384677> members into your ticket, or email us at [email protected]; it can take a few hours or even a day or two, but we will get to it. If your ticket automatically closes without an answer, please make a new ticket, and we will answer it.

If you believe your ban/warn was false, always appeal it at #⛔・game-appeals or [email protected] - as in everything in life, there can be mistakes, and if a ban was in fact invalid, we will remove it upon the appeal.

If you reported a player and had no actions taken against them, or they were just warned when it felt like it should have been a ban, that means we either had zero evidence to go with the report, or we didn't have enough evidence to give it a ban.

I hope I was able to answer some questions. Feedback is always welcome, and we appreciate it

Part 2/2

[amber goblet]

Do y'all think my suggestion is good #1413012310326378497

[carmine night]

We are sorry it took us so long to answer your appeal. We are always working on improving our response time.

[amber goblet]

Ai ahh message I've heard a ton of people complain about the time and mods coming in like they already decided they did it

[torn lodge]

i just want to say, there was evidence. My friend uploaded a video of them doing this. (this is replying to the "not taking enough action")

[uncut sedge]

I appreciate you taking time out of your day to interact with the community. Not many large games do this often, so it’s nice to understand Trass cares about us.

[carmine night]

We are aware that some of the automod trigger words are a bit annoying, but we need them that way to keep our Discord server a safe and respectful environment. Whenever we find words that are mistakenly triggering the automod, we remove them from it.

[ember spade]

i aint reading allat

[torn lodge]

don't then.

[amber goblet]

How is saying the black button is now useless hurting anyone

[iron gorge]

off topic but was this warn false? it was for a joke about a “fortnite girlfriend” and looking at https://discord.com/channels/1197017602292207666/1366440600701767711 i seem to still have the standards of a lab rat i just do a job and not represent the community

[ember spade]

make a ticket

[carmine night]

Well, please ask your friend to create a new report ticket and tag @night vector. I am sure he will be happy to help.

[torn lodge]

okay

[iron gorge]

rn i’m talking in dms with mixid about it but i haven’t gotten a response in a few days

[ember spade]

oh alr

[carmine night]

I would recommend you always create a ticket #🔖・submit-support-ticket, so if one of the mods cannot answer you, another mod will step up and continue the ticket.

Feel free to tag @gusty swallow into the ticket, and he will get to it as soon as he is available to help.

[amber goblet]

I feel like yeeps is extremely sensitive which while it can be good there is still toxicity the amount of banned words seems way too big

[iron gorge]

alr

i love this emoji

[uncut sedge]

Is there a chance we could get more specification related to getting banned/timed out in the future? I feel we should be directed to what resulted in our ban. (btw sorry if i sound self-centered rn)

[carmine night]

I am not sure when you were banned, but we are doing our best to make sure every single ban/warn goes out with a reason. It's not 100% perfect yet, but we are improving on that end.

[uncut sedge]

thx

[amber goblet]

It seems like the in-game report button is completely useless I have seen whole lobbies report a kid being toxic and nothing happens

[carmine night]

We are always trying to improve, so it's not too sensitive or not sensitive enough, but it can be extremely difficult to find the perfect balance.

[carmine night]

We can't always punish immediately upon receiving a report, but we know that we will get them eventually.

[amber goblet]

That makes sense it just gets annoying when you get banned for homophobia when it's something as simple as making a dumb joke about your friend being gay when they are

[carmine night]

We have to always keep in mind that we need to respect others, and that what some people might think is just a "joke" can be extremely offensive to another player and has an impact to their existence.

[amber goblet]

I would understand if I was saying it to a random person but it wasn't I seen other games do this all this does is cause people to get creative

I am speaking from experience the community is still toxic it's very prevelent it just doesn't get caught because they get creative

[carmine night]

Thank you, and thank you all for taking your time to share your feedback and suggestions. It will surely make Yeeps a better place.

[carmine night]

We are doing our best to keep the guidelines up to date and identify these new "creative" ways players are using to be toxic and bypass the rules. #🚨・game-reports surely helps us speed up this process.

So if you know any of it, please let us know.

[amber goblet]

Yeah I don't film every second so idk what to say

[carmine night]

Just bringing awareness to it, even without evidence, will make us pay attention to what is being done to bypass rules. We might not be able to ban the player at the time, but we will start catching them later on, and they won't go unpunished if they continue to repeat it.

[amber goblet]

Most of the stuff I seen is them using letters to spell it or adding extra letters in front and behind it

[carmine night]

Please always share those experiences on tickets, and we will start catching them. You can always ping @night vector on them

[amber goblet]

Could you check out my suggestion I feel it could solve most peoples complaints #1413012310326378497

[carmine night]

Is there a part 3? If there is, I couldn't see it, which is the reason why I didn't answer it.

[torn lodge]

nope, there is no part 3 yet. There likely will be one in the future, however.

[carmine night]

I have read it, but unfortunately, there is no practical way of doing that right now, sorry.

[rancid zodiac]

gus, why do some mods TAKE SO LONG to respond to a report ticket when they say, "I'll look into this soon!"

[amber goblet]

Dang I just dislike that yeeps has to add all this bs banned words I wish there was a way to

[carmine night]

Because they might get busy with IRL stuff, or they might need to investigate the case further before being able to give you a definitive answer. If you believe your ticket was left without an answer, you can always ping Gomes, and he will get to it as soon as he is available to help.

[rancid zodiac]

also is it the mod's choice if they want to ban or warn people or are they instructed to certainly warn or ban certain people

[carmine night]

I can’t go into deeper details on how the moderation system works internally, but we all follow internal guidelines.

[rancid zodiac]

so the deeper detail is secret within the moderators and the trass team?

[carmine night]

I wouldn’t call it a secret, it’s more like internal guidelines and procedures that only mods can see, as it’s part of the mods job.

[rancid zodiac]

oh okay

[carmine night]

Does anyone else have any more questions before I go?

@torn lodge do you have any other questions?

[torn lodge]

kinda

yeah

what do you mean by the fact that it's practically impossible to get out-of-game reports done? could you not simply screen record someone sending a bad message, and get them banned? I don't see the trouble with that, so could you clear it up for me?

[carmine night]

There are very easy ways to edit a message you get from another person on Discord. I won't go into details on how to do it, but it only takes 5 seconds, and you can even record your screen, and the message will be there, edited, as if the person had sent you that. Unlike photoshopping evidence, it looks 100% legit and can be done with little to no coding knowledge.

[torn lodge]

also, i'm still confused on why the moderators have different opinions on the things. I feel like the better option (for the community) would be to have every moderator be the same, having no opinion, because opinion in matters such as this, since it could cause contreversy.

[torn lodge]

ahh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up for me

[carmine night]

If the report is made directly to Discord, they can see the message logs and take action.

[torn lodge]

oh okay. That's good.

[carmine night]

I don't know if you heard it or not, but the other day, one of our devs was talking in chat with the community and replied to a message joking about his age. He was banned almost instantly by Discord and lost their Discord account. That's how efficient Discord can be when something is against their ToS.

[carmine night]

If one breaks the rule on DMs or even in a different Discord server, once Discord goes through the report and validates it, their accounts can even be terminated, and that is a lot more effective than just banning them from our server, and risking it being a false ban due to manipulated evidence.

[torn lodge]

alright, nice.

[torn lodge]

a dev got banned recently?

huh

didn't know

[carmine night]

He appealed the ban and got the account back. It was just a joke, but that proves how effective Discord is.

[torn lodge]

ahh, okay.

[carmine night]

Someone sent in general chat a photo of a birthday cake, and he replied to it joking that the age in the cake was wrong, and saying he was younger than that. 5 minutes later, Discord suspended him for being underage.

[torn lodge]

oh, dang.

[torn lodge]

what about this, though? I'm still really confused about this.

[carmine night]

I know that some rule breaks are just obvious and will always lead to bans, no matter what is done or said. If a slur is said, they will get banned, and there is no context or nuance to that.

But the rules and our moderation go way beyond that, and in a lot of cases, there needs to be moderators analyzing and going through each individual case to see whether the rules were broken or not. Sometimes it does take different opinions and interpretations to get to the right conclusion.

That is how our rules evolved over time, and are the way they are right now. A lot was discussed, reviewed, interpreted, and changed based on the knowledge we gained from all of our mods' individual experiences.

[torn lodge]

well once someone reviewed mine, of a person being racist, mocking hollywood indian accents, and the mod said "i dont see any rule-breaking here." Why would that be?

[carmine night]

I would have to go through the case to analyze it further. There are times when the evidence isn't clear enough, but if you ever feel like your report or appeal wasn't treated right, don't hesitate to ping Gomes, and ask for clarification.

[torn lodge]

they were the one handling the report

[torn lodge]

it was pretty blatant, atleast in my opinion.

[carmine night]

All the reports are equally important to us, so if you ask him for further clarification, he will tell you the reasons behind his decision.

[torn lodge]

oh, okay.

they said something along the lines of "beta what are you doing" in a very clearly mocking voice of indian people.

[carmine night]

Just make sure you point out your thoughts and reasons on why you believe it was a blatant mocking, and he will hear you. Remember, always ask for clarification if you aren't satisfied with the denial.

[torn lodge]

if i can find the video, i'd be happy to send it to you.

[carmine night]

You can send it to us through a report ticket and ping both Gomes and I into it.

[torn lodge]

it was like 3-4 months ago, so I don't know if it's bannable anymore, but okay.

[carmine night]

It's okay if you can't find it anymore, but just do that moving forward, and let others know that we are always available to help, if you see anyone needing help.

[torn lodge]

alright, got it.

[carmine night]

Was the Discord report part clear enough? I feel like it was one of the parts that we got the most complaints about.

[torn lodge]

oh, yeah. I would think so. Thanks so much for clearing that up for everyone.

[carmine night]

No worries, we will do a better job communicating that moving forward.

Well, if you do choose to close the thread, feel free to reach out to us anytime through tickets, and we will get to them to answer any further questions.

[queen orbit]

then you deserve to be. and im assuming they were in game reports

in game reports do basically nothing

[carmine night]

The player won't get banned unless a rule is broken.

[snow mica]

well this is odd

i recently reported someone for having a slur in their bio, and they were let off with a warn

or, that's what the mod said

[forest frost]

roblox is getting fixed, once the sue is happening, roblox will have to give money to schlep (maybe) and fix the community

[night vector]

Yes, 100%.

I encourage everyone that had a problem, question or want to review any ticket about game moderation, please, reach out to me on a appeal/report ticket and I will try my best to answer your questions.

[night vector]

I can give you a good example of this question.

Let's talk about harassment. I noticed someone in the thread say they got banned for "harassment" and when they reported someone for this behavior, this user was warned.

This is not exactly a choice of a mod/inconsistency. As Gus said, we have changed how we approach certain situations and we changed the intensity of certain actions.

A good example is the mute/ban. We introduced mutes this year to deal with certain situations. So we toned down the punishments in a way to try to teach people about their behavior and not directly punish them. A 3d mute will still let the player be on the game, but muted, so they can't be toxic verbally. It's a better way of "learning" than being banned 7 days straight.

Same goes for warnings/bans. We feel like certain incidents shouldn't ban a player for long periods, but shouldn't go unnoticed as well. The warning is a good way of showing the player that this behavior is not OK, but without blocking them out of the game for several days.

Also, another good think to have in mind is that while some think we are not taking enough action or that rules aren't clear enough, others think we are too strict and that there are too many rules. You might not see this often, but there are people who think Yeeps moderation should be less strict like other games. So it's a double edged sword, creating and explaining a lot more rules could keep a part of the community away, while toning down the rules would bother another part of the community.

I think Gustavo summed it all up really well.

But don't get me wrong, we really appreciate the feedback! I really want to improve the moderation and this kind of constructive suggestion help us a lot.

Some things are not possible, while others are, so we might need to dive deeper into the matter to be able to solve it.

Again, please reach out to me on a appeal/report and I will try to review any case you want, or explain some rules in detail.

Sorry, I am not sure if I follow

[chrome plover]

I'm sad this is kinda of true, hope this message gets to other people.

[gusty swallow]

Creating a ticket is always the best option. DMs aren’t ideal for reporting someone, and with a ticket there are more moderators available to help you with the situation.

I hope Gus and Gomes were able to clarify the questions raised in this thread! We’re here to build a better and healthier environment for everyone. I’m also available to help — just reach out to me anytime!

[hollow widget]

The whole gang is here

[ruby patio]

I do feel Gomes and Gus summed this up well lol

[high sorrel]

[ruby patio]

[celest furnace]

id say the best way to verify if a discord message is real is to ensure they're on the app or go to the website and reload the page with the dm on it

[torn lodge]
