The moderation is absolutely outrageous and has me on the verge of quitting the game.

The moderation team is either deranged or is completely automated. I'm not sure if it's just on the HC/HCSSF server or not, but I wanted to share my experience because this issue has me and many, many other people on the verge of quitting the game before it even officially launches.

I have been getting chat banned for completely benign comments, and the chat bans get continuously larger. I just got a 100 hour chat ban for saying "canadians would you be okay with becoming a state if we got rid of quebec for you?" which was obviously a benign joke. I got a 48 hour ban previously for saying that "kendrick lamar is only 5'4", he's diminutive" and I've gotten several chat bans that gave me absolutely no context on what I said whatsoever.

I'm not alone in this complaint either. I've spoken with dozens of people who have received 12, 24, and 48 hour bans for making innocent jokes that aren't malicious or political or anything in between.

I and others are on the verge of quitting this game over this issue. I otherwise love the game, I've put well over 700 hours into it and am on the top 100 leaderboard for HCSSF. I want to continue to play the game, make content for it, and promote it, but if I am put in solitary confinement for dozens of hours every time I make a benign joke in global chat to the point that I am being excluded from engaging with the community, I will absolutely leave. I and others have been documenting this issue and it cannot keep going like this.

Please fix this issue or give us further insight into what we can do to avoid these outrageous chat bans.
