Pretty sure thats not true.
Online content and game content are two different things anyways.
Then maybe twitch should just do better at punishing the raiders and not the streamers, you know THE WHOLE REASON IT GOT ATTENTION IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Seems like a good reason to implement stricter filters and general number filters, like 343 has done, huh? Twitch isn’t actively punishing streamers. And they have improved the systems to not disrupt the twitch streamer rather than the raiders. The moral of the story here though is that stricter content moderation improved the Twitch experience for younger members of the audience.
Technically we’re both right on this particular instance. It can be used once in a PG-13 film (if it’s not during a sexual act or discussion about -Yoink!-). So f-bombs are not ok. It’s still completely true for the other cases I pointed out though. You’re not going to see grotesque human gore or sexual acts and what not in a PG-13 movie, just like they won’t appear in a T rated game.
Because the content is above the threshold for the target audience
I must admit that when I was a 13-year old teen and someone wrote the number 420 in Halo CE, it was a very traumatic experience for me and I got scared for my life… then, a year later, there was some dude that I had sniped who claimed to be doing stuff to my mom, and he was very convincing. I blew my entire savings that year on Scotch (one ice cube) and had to work hard for an entire summer to recover from that fierce attack. Back then we didn’t have sufficient filters to protect me from these horrors! Eventually I managed to recover and I placed a sticky note on my screen over the chat that could be lifted for taking peeks carefully in case someone was involved with my mom. I’ll continue the story later because my mommy is waiting to spoon feed me some pumpkin soup 
Or you know, make a filter that strikes down character combinations too similar to certain phrases or words, which some twitch bots actuallly already do, without banning all 4 letter words.
Bro the only kids on twitch watching ninja
Okay
We’re just going in circles, because I’ve already said twice why Twitch shouldn’t be used as a standard for how to effectively filter chat, because it’s not done well there.
Minecraft and Fortnite viewers are pretty high for younger audiences I think pokemon has a pretty large young audience too. Halo might be the most intense T rated shooter out of all the most popular franchises tbh
Not always.
But most of the time.
Either way, halo isnt quite winning over the broader audience 343 is dreaming of.
I noticed this at the start of Season 2. I’m not sure if it was put in place to stop people talking about ping, or if it was more to do with what was essentially bullying.
The chat was super toxic at times in Season 1, if you were playing with the wrong people and you went negative or didn’t have enough objective points on the board for their liking then you would be severely trashed in the chat for it.
It could be a preventative measure because of that.
No more messages saying “2 and 12 Striz? Are you serious? Do everyone a favor and uninstall.” or “Striz you’re -10 why do you not have the most ball time on the board? You’re trash.”.
I don’t know what this is accomplishing exactly, other than maybe preventing people from being prompted to look at the scoreboard to see for themselves and possibly join in in the toxicity.
I could be completely wrong and maybe they censored numbers to prevent people from bad mouthing 343 in the game chat. There was a LOT of that in Season 1.
Saying “I’m on 200 ping.” or “I’m getting unstable ping” can actually be helpful, to let your team know that you might be lagging or under performing compared to the last game.
The word “ping” isn’t the trigger for the censorship. I’ve tested it.
You can say “high ping”, “unstable ping” and “two hundred ping” without it being censored. You just can’t use numbers.
Which is annoying because typing 200 is way more efficient than typing two hundred.

Dude, it’s a BUG. The number aren’t supposed to be picked up. How are you not getting this?
Nobody wants simply numbers to censored.
Tell that to the Anti Defamation League

What does that have to with 343 and the numbers bug, though?
343 is under microsoft, and microsoft partnered up with the ADL.
So you’re telling me the ADL has something to do with this and it’s not just a glitch?
That sounds like BS, no offense.
More than likely they’d be using ADLs database to help with filtering out “hate speech”.
You might want to look at what @LouisFF posted a little closer
Wrong as i have gotten multiple people communication banned in revenge for them getting me comm banned for calling them out without using slurs,foul language etc like its not hard for me to give multiple reasons either as they tend to throw out insults or slurs to try and get a rise out of me
You can get people banned by just spamming report enough times
The system is easily abused and the people who know how it works knows it
It hasn’t changed at all from the 360 days all you have to do is get enough reports in
I figured out how it worked when a idiot accused my younger cousin of hacking in reach for wearing the security shoulders saying only inheritors can wear those shoulders and got his friends list to mass report him and got him temp banned for no reason and you bet your -Yoink!- i made that guy not be able to play on his account whenever i saw him on i made sure he was mass reported you abused the system to upset my cousin its only right for me to return the favor 10 fold
Also before anyone reports me for abusing the system this was on a old account i have lost due forgetting the info to it and i stopped abusing it as its funnier to get people to give me actual material to report them for
Tldr the report system works like it does in the 360 days where someone needs to get reported a lot in a short period of time for the system to actually take action and dish out a punishment

Yeah, I’m not big on conspiracy theories.
I’m probably betting 343 implemented the filter incorrectly or there must of been an oversight.
Wouldn’t be surpirsed if that was the case. 343 certainly doesn’t have the cleanest track record when it comes to bug fixing.

If you read carefully what I wrote, I didn’t claim anywhere that it is what is happening in this case, but presented a realistic case for why MS and other companies would and will target numbers as well. I’ve left it open for someone else to determine what is the filtering case here, as I’m personally not using the team chat, but you should know that there are common numbers now that could potentially be considered as “hate speech” and who knows what else will be added to ADL’s list in the future. That’s all. Also, MS is building its ToxiGen dataset that currently contains 274,000 examples of “neutral” and “toxic” statements. We’ll see what’ll happen with that.
I did read it.
It’s complete nonsense. All of this reads word for word like a conspiracy theory and a baseless one at that.
It’s a bug.
Again, sorry for the bluntness but we really shouldn’t be passing this stuff around like it’s fact. Yeah Microsoft my get their filters from ADL, but their goals are to stop hate. Not mess around with numbers.
You’ve read nothing. What is nonsense exactly? MS and ADLs partnership is real, their Cyberhate labs are real, ADLs list of numbers is real, and MS ToxiGen dataset is also real. Which one of the sources/links you think is NOT real or a conspiracy theory?
Even if it is a bug, so what? What are you arguing about?
