We're excited to announce the launch of AntiSalt, our new system to automatically punish rulebreakers in the chat
This system would include tools for staff to add specific words or phrases to a blacklist. When a player uses one of these blacklisted terms multiple times, they will receive an automatic warning or temporary mute, depending on the severity and frequency of the offense. The new system would also try and catch ways that people try to bypass traditional chat filters. This new system should also help reduce the workload on our moderation team, allowing them to focus on catching cheaters rather than chat disputes. We do also plan to automate more chat punishments in the future in the system, such as spam detection and excessive caps usage, but we're just gonna stick to good old chat cooldowns for now.
The AntiSalt system is still very much in development, and we know theres still gonna be people slipping through the cracks. We are very open to suggestions and ideas on how to make this system better, so please don't hesitate to reach out to us on Discord and pinging an Owner.
Now as for staff, we need you to add more inappropriate words to the blacklist. If you see or know of a word or phrase that you think should be added, please do "/addbanword {word}" to blacklist the word. And good news, you dont have to add the same word with different capitalizations, with symbols, numbers, the system will automatically detect those! Any staff with Moderator or higher rank can use this command. Please only add words that are actually inappropriate, and not just words you don't like. Keep in mind that adding the words means that any player who uses them will be punished.
We plan to roll out this system today and monitor its effectiveness over the next few days and update it accordingly.
With all that said, thank you for being a part of the community, and happy bridging!
