[Software] Do you play Minecraft? Be careful doing this, or you will end up banned

[FNX Magokiler]

If we have to talk about a game that never goes out of style, this is, without a doubt, Minecraft. The Mojang sandbox still has millions of users from all over the world, counting, above all, on a particularly young audience. Therefore, Microsoft has had no choice but to find a way for players to have fun and be safe at the same time while playing online. And, although it has taken 11 years to arrive, finally the Microsoft title will have moderation functions and a new ban system. That's how it works.

The new Minecraft update, 1.19.1, introduces a new moderation system through which specially trained Microsoft personnel will be in charge of monitoring user activity in public worlds and, if they detect any sign of bad behavior, they will expel players who violate them. The duration of the ban will be directly proportional to the violation of the terms, and may even be a definitive expulsion from the construction sandbox. In the coming months, Microsoft will establish new expulsion rules, such as temporary bans for those who are not repeat offenders or commit minor infractions.

The moment a user is banned from the game, they will automatically stop being able to connect to the game servers, join Realms, host events, join any of them, and even get banned from the market. The worlds of Minecraft Earth will also not be accessible and, in the case of Xbox, not even their own created worlds. In other words, once banned from Minecraft, the game will be almost unusable. Of course, private worlds will not be moderated.

If we believe that we have been unfairly expelled, and we have not breached any normal, we can request a review at this link.

Reasons for expulsion, or ban, from Minecraft

 

In the end, the rules of behavior that Microsoft has established are no different from those of any other online game. These rules are summarized in good civic behavior, being respectful of others. Among others, the main rules that Microsoft has imposed and that can lead to expulsion from the game are:

Hate or discriminatory speech.
Sharing sexual content.
Inappropriate contact requests.
Threats that spill over into real life.
Expose personal information of other players.
Post links to malicious software.
Impersonate Microsoft or Minecraft personnel.
Commercial spam of any kind.
Cheating, or anything that negatively affects someone else's gaming experience.
Of course, this new moderation system, with its corresponding sanctions, is a good thing. And we hope that it will come to more Microsoft games so that we can finish once and for all with these cheats that only harm the game.
