MODERATORS
Any game that monitors voice chats is a hell no
Why though? What expectation of privacy do you have for a moderated public platform? Why is this substantially different than ingame chat logs? How could they moderate voice chat otherwise?
In the context of online games specifically, harrasment over voice chat is an enormous problem, and it drives players away from VC (decreasing their ability to communicate with a team in a team game), or drives players away from the game entirely.
If it works even just /decently/ well and has a functional appeal process, this is an unqualified win. We need to start filtering out the harassment endemic to the broader gaming community.
It isn't, I don't use in game chats.
If you don't use it then how is it a big deal if it's monitored?
That's why I don't use them. I outright object to it on principle.
