So today I was sitting around in the black cat and I randomly got reported for a hate speech, even though I didn’t say a single thing because my mic was muted and I was AFK at the time and I have no idea what’s going

I'm going to break the VMS down, over time your account builds moderation history, Rec Room keeps track of all the reports & flags that are put on you.
The more dense your VMS flags are, the more sensitive you become to a VCB,
you get flagged for language that violates the RR COC.

So a low level account for example, would have little to-no moderation history, but someone like you or me, who has been on the game longer, will have a denser moderation history with more flags, so we're more sensitive to getting penalties, like VCBs.

It's a snowball effect, builds up over time, but also melts away.
I'm going to give a real example from my own experience,
prier to this I went without any penalties for longer than a month

  • 1, was a dorm warning
  • 2, also a dorm warning
  • 3, I got a 1 HR VCB
  • 4, also a 1 HR VCB
  • 5, another 1 HR VCB
  • 6, eventually 24 HR VCB
  • 7, again 24 HR VCB
  • 8, again 24 HR VCB...
    ^ 8 was placed on me because I said one word "f###" it was the first and only word I said in a public, almost instantly after I spoke I got the 24 HR VCB.
    1-7 were not the same as 8, 1 was a result of me swearing and making distasteful jokes for over hours.
  • 1, took many VMS flags & low density for a warning
  • 8, took a single VMS flag & high density for a 24 HR VCB

After 8 penalties, I had learned to keep my mouth clean, after some more time, about a week or so of not saying anything that violated the COC, my VMS flag density went down, "melted away"
But do you see the pattern? It builds up then goes down over time...

3 things to keep in mind are

  • that the VMS does not work instantly after you say something, it could've been something you said hours ago
  • the VMS doesn't have "context" and doesn't need it
  • you don't need to be a saint, just dont trigger the VMS snowball

I understand your frustration, I went through the same thing, but I just explained to you how it works, so you can have a better understanding on how to stop it.
