Related: Details on Next 2 Rainbow Six Siege Operators Already Leaked While the game has a "report for toxicity" option, reports made through that system are likely weighed against Ubisoft's Terms of Service for the game, which do not explicitly count specific griefing behaviors as bannable offenses. Teamkilling in the game would often only result in being kicked or potentially a cooldown timer on queues, which would hardly put off serial griefers who were hellbent on offing teammates in matches.
The way that the game dealt with griefing in the past has been arguably sub-optimal. However, it now looks like players who abuse friendly fire are in for a rude awakening. While parent company Ubisoft has been at the forefront of a lot of measures geared to make one's player experience more pleasant, including when they banned players for using slurs in chat earlier this year, there's apparently still been a ways to go to stop actual in-game griefing since the release of Operation Burnt Horizon. It now has an estimated 35 million players.Rainbow Six Siegehas had a griefing problem for quite some time now.
“Rainbow Six Siege” is currently in its third season. “We have been working on some short-term changes that will quickly have an impact, such as chat improvements, and team kill tracking.” “Our end goal is to track negative player behavior, manage those that behave poorly, and eventually implement features that will encourage players to improve their behavior,” it wrote in a dev blog. It began by tracking the frequency at which racial or homophobic slurs were used by individual players. The “Rainbow Six Siege” development team said last April managing abusive behavior in-game is a priority and it will be focusing on it as a team over the next few years. Toxicity is a common problem in many multiplayer titles. Ubisoft’s code of conduct forbids, among other things, “any language or content deemed illegal, dangerous, threatening, abusive, obscene, vulgar, defamatory, hateful, racist, sexist, ethically offensive or constituting harassment.” Fighting against toxicity and cleaning up the Siege environment is a very real and important issue.
