After becoming a waste of toxicity and racism in online games, Call of Duty wants to rebrand itself as a platform without tolerance for the same. The Call of Duty staff recently updated their blog with a detailed statement about their commitment to making the game a safe and accessible environment for all gamers.

To that effect, it was revealed that they had banned more than 350,000 accounts for extensively verified "racist names or toxic behavior based on player-submitted reports."

The blog post by Activision's staff comprehensively covers the steps they are taking to clean up the community:

"Over the last 12 months, across Call of Duty®: Warzone™Black Ops Cold WarModern Warfare®, and Call of Duty: Mobile, our anti-toxicity, enforcement, and technology teams have taken extensive measures to clean up the community."

The following steps have been taken to combat toxicity from now on:

  • Banned over 350,000 accounts for racist names or toxic behavior based on player-submitted reports and an extensive review of our player-name database
  • Deployed new in-game filters to catch potentially offensive user names, clan tags, or profiles
  • Implemented new technology to filter potentially offensive text chat
  • Implemented filters across 11 languages

The Call of Duty team has also promised to ramp up efforts in a few more ways:

  • More resources to support detection and enforcement
  • Additional monitoring and backend technology
  • Scrubbing databases to bring systems up to current standards
  • Consistent and fair review of enforcement policies
  • Increased communication with the community

Stating that they will take a closer look at voice chatter and other areas where toxicity escapes, Activision is committed to Call of Duty's clean-up goals so that everyone "share in the fun and joy of playing together."
