PS Network/GT7 Code of Conduct

[Meythia]

Not specifying what the offense was is extremely counter intuitive.

If you have a single slip, it propably leads to you knowing what it was, but propably also keep wondering, but it shouldnt happen again anyway because it was a slip.

If it happens regularly then the problem is the persons habbits, and it might well be intentional or not, though it doesnt matter too much because it should be a hint to have a look at what the person is doing.

Rules are not difficult to adore to, they only ask you to be "normal".

Trying not to sound all 'tin hatty' or such, but Playstation has turned around on us 'extremist' gamers in their path to wokeism. Therefore they feel it's justified to transcript, log and (AI-)analyze everything you say, write or do on their network. You could even be getting a warning email for saying a stupid joke to your friends during a party or such. It's your right to think I'm saying cuckoo crap, but just look for it on YouTube or the internet in general. Even EU is making laws to obligate this crap and probably the US will follow.

A lot of those things came out recently with Kabrutus and that SBI crap that has been ruining our beloved games for a while now. Politics and their propaganda don't belong in games. Don't get me wrong I believe in ethical principles, but the goal does not justify the means and the liberty for a person to have the freedom of speech and thought to a broad extent is primary for me.

I got reported once for writing "clown" in the GT7 chat, and I can understand that. Mea culpa. But he really was a clown and he was ruining the race for everybody. Sometimes you just can't help it.
Another time I got reported for calling someone "kid" by private message --> That's when I stopped paying for PS Plus. This is just ridiculous.

They really are exaggerating. And on Xbox nothing happens even if someone clearly writes insults with abbreviations, which is 100% offensive.

You tried that to verify? 🙄

I reported multiple times players who wrote to me the letter F followed by the letter U, and nothing happened to them. Even after days, weeks or months. Messages like that stay in the private chat.
But when they fully spell clear insults, those words get automatically removed in an instant and I receive a notifications saying action was taken.

This is on Xbox.

On Playstation even those abbreviations will get you a warning, and probably a suspension, because sooner or later a human being will checks them.

I don't like the mentality of it's easy to follow the rules for one simple reason, they are never enforced consistently. Until there is uniformity in enforcement, the rules can't be easily complied with. Just look at the amount of disputed track limits, the poor consistency of speeding fines, or the terrible inconsistency regarding the Covid lock downs.

Too many arbiters of the rules get it wrong, so clarity of offence should always happen. Once a line is drawn, it is then on the individual if they cross it
