Why is there a thing called "Chat Reporting?" There is no reason for this to be added when severs already have this. Based on the update logs, it seems like it is built to permanently ban any player whom disagrees with any other player. This wont have a positive effect and will lead to countless innocent players getting banned from multiplayer for simply commenting on a server.
On top of this, this "feature" is incredibly exploitable. I have been watching countless video after video of people finding extremely easy ways to exploit it and gaslight others.
Only sending a few lines of selectable text from the chat logs to the BOT(yes, I know it will be a bot. Don't lie about it being "People" who will moderate chat) will not give enough context to allow for accurate bans.
This entire "feature" is incredibly shady, overwhelmingly disliked by everyone, and will have a massive effect on the community. Servers like 2b2t will never get a chance to update passed 1.18 and will be forced to stay on older and older versions as the game continues to update. I know that 2b2t is currently on 1.12.2(with a 1.18 test), but with this new broken "feature," will prevent it from ever updating passed that point. 1.19 will be impossible due to players being able to just permaban others.
This entire thing is a bug in its own right. Chat reporting is the biggest mistake that you will ever make, dooming the best selling game of all time to a tragic, painful death. But that's what you want, isn't it? You want to starting breaking the trust with the community so that you can become a dictator, telling everyone how to play the game. You want to push old players out of the game and bring in toddlers so that you can start killing the game. It isn't going to work though.
