As long as it’s just flagging voice clips for review by a moderator of some kind, that sounds fine to me. I’ve been wanting more games to find new ways of enforcing moderation - maybe clean up the communities a bit so that whole demographics aren’t afraid to engage.
I’m sure they will at first. Knowing Activision and Blizzards history with moderation, once it reaches slightly passible, there going to have a un-monitored ban hammer machine they treat as the final verdict.
Warcraft has a few stories of stupid or no context bans. Can’t say for sure if they are all justified, but its clearly a system of guilty until proven innocent and getting human intervention is difficult. Seen stories on Reddit where someone has screenshots proving innocent and can’t get past copy pasted or bot replies without raising a shitstorm on twitter.
Not in in tune on the activision side since I haven’t played cod recently. They are 100% going to half ass the system and then fire off a bunch of human mods.
And it’s a really interesting use case in fact, pre-filter a lot of input somewhat better than other tools could, but also much faster than the human reviewers could that can then do the actual review of the pre-filtered samples.
Yeah this is what it does; all it is is essentially another player to sit in a game and listen and report players. More games are adding ToxMod and I’m here for it. It’s funny when people get mad and review bomb games for adding it because they’re mad they can’t say the n-word anymore and call it “spyware”.

I have a dozen reasons to hate Activision, but I hadn’t heard anything in their history about indiscriminate banning. Care to share?
Honestly, given their corporate culture, I thought they would’ve leaned towards being permissive of toxic gamer culture.

Yee the moderation thing seems good to me, since a lot of times when I get killed I just instinctively shout “AHH, dickhead!!!”.
