It seemsCall of Duty: Black Ops 6isn’t getting rid of its problems anytime soon. Every day it’s a new issue for the most recent installment of this highly coveted franchise. Forget the controversies regarding maps, movement mechanics, and many more, the game right now is overly infested with hackers and cheaters.

Despite the presence of a strong kernel-level anti-cheat system like Ricochet, there’s no stopping the hackers. Although the developers are trying hard to make the situation better for the players, the new chat ban system might have other ideas that are making the lives of the players miserable.
Players are getting voice chat bans inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6for cussing
Trash-talking is an age-old aspect of any competitive game andCall of Dutyis not an exception as well. We are human beings, and it’s obviouswe would let our emotions drive through the most loved aspectof our lives, which is gaming, as long as those emotions don’t cross the derogatory barrier.

But the new chat-banning massacre by Treyarch has become way too strict. Recently a dedicatedCall of Dutyfan has shared his frustration over Reddit. He has stated that he has been getting several bans for using cuss words. It’s true that cussing online all the time isn’t in good taste, but getting voice chat banned for that is a way more serious penalty.
All this havoc has been wrecked because of the new“anti-toxicity tools”by Activision. The companyclaimsthat by using Modulate’s ToxMod AI technology to combat harassment and offensive language in voice chats inCoD, the game has seen a“67% reduction in repeat offenders of voice-chat-based offenses in Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone.”

These voice moderation systems, which support English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, and German, were included inBlack Ops 6from the beginning.
Activision supports trash talks inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6
Despite the rampant ban spree from the anti-toxicity tool by Activision, the company has revealed that it supports the trash talks by the players. The moderation of voice chat in-game inCall of Dutywas one of the numerous topics covered in the most recentblog article.
Since its launch in 2023, the system has been a crucial instrument in lowering players’ exposure to hate speech, harassment, and disparaging language in voice communications, according to Activision.

The studio does add, though, that gamers“should have the freedom to trash talk.”Activision, the statement continues, is always collaborating with developers to ensure that the voice moderation mechanism is only focusing on talks that“veer into derogatory territory.”

Then, Activision clarified that the developers are“consistently examining”the moderation mechanism to ensure that there is a clear separation between disparaging language and some constructive trash talk.
However, despite a wild claim of supporting this aspect, there has been no serious implementation to stop randomly banning players. We hope Activision will look into this matter with utmost priority orplayers are going to leave the game sooner or later.
