One of the biggest problems of current multiplayer titles is the behavior of the users among each other. Activision Blizzard has set up an anti-toxicity team and is now reporting strong success figures.
Toxic behavior is not only a huge problem in social media, but also in multiplayer titles and quite a few may already have had unpleasant experiences with it. As a result, Activision Blizzard has created a team to monitor and take strict action on this type of behavior. Now there are the first figures and results and they don’t sound bad.
Above all, strict cleaning measures are said to have been successful. A current one Community-Update according to the team has now banned over 500,000 accounts for misconduct. In addition, 300,000 accounts have been renamed since the start of an automated filter system – in addition to human moderation, Call of Duty also uses new automated technology to remove offensive language from text chats and account names.
Reports of offensive usernames and clan tags in Call of Duty: Warzone are reported to have decreased by more than 55% year-on-year in the month of August alone. Activision Blizzard intends to continue the efforts and expand the appropriate technologies to combat toxic behavior.
With “Last Stand” Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone are entering their fifth season.
