[RANTING, PLEASE IGNORE] In which @AverageBen10Enjoyer tries to use Reddit to raise awareness of a bug, and instead is reminded of why he hates Reddit

Y'all-Seeing Eye-havers will have seen that I just triggered a ping. I haven't used Reddit in ages but wanted some help with something and decided to dust off my account.

Basically the video game Rainbow Six Siege has a new reputation system that gives you a grade based on how non-toxic you are. The system is incredibly flawed as it's based on reports from other players, so I could report you for text abuse and it would be counted against you, even if all you've written is "gg".

The biggest flaw in the system is that I've accumulated several warnings for voice abuse even though my mic is disabled in settings; I use groomercord to talk to the one friend who I game with.

I raised an Ubisoft Support ticket and got a copied+pasted irrelevant reply about debugging microphones, so I decided I'd ask the subreddit instead because I know it has Ubi employees lurking. https://old.reddit.com/r/Rainbow6/comments/176v2lr/ive_got_a_moderate_voice_warning_in_the

In typical Reddit fashion then the replies don't actually address my issue or say "yeh that's bad it should be looked into", they instead decide to argue with me on the definition of a bug.

Not quite a bug but more so the system doesn't take into account if a mic is connected or not to allow a person to report you.

It's a bug.

Having the report system remove an option based on individual players and their peripherals is probably way too intricate of a system to be worth the effort.

Not a bug per se, but rather Ubi doesn't care to add functionality that would prevent reporting a person under such circumstances

I HATE REDDIT

It's reminded me why I like rdrama so much - everyone's generally here to have a laugh and a decent conversation, rather than treating everyone else as a potential enemy and idiot who needs correcting (not you, @Transgender_spez).
