I don't play on these often, but I thought I'd jump into one to have some fun and I'm instantly kicked and called racist slurs.

What is the moderation on these?  Is there any way to report racism and abuse of v2k?

I wonder why there's not filters, considering we have filters for server names, but not for in-game chat? I hope that can be addressed.

In EU region, even with the historical tensions between its many nations, never encountered any racism or whatever. I have been sworn at for not telling "where base is" (and must say, the most interesting curse words I've read in KLei official servers were "your father is your uncle" - found it hilarious and remembered many years after, but that's a story for another day). Am curious where you were playing, OP, what region?

Still, like griefing, don't believe KLei will take any action: their pubs are most-of-times pure madness, 0 moderation. If they didn't care about Clouds and his bots/sock accounts who plagued EU region for years with massive fire giefing, doubt some mean words would matter. My advice: gloss over. Happens. Better yet: is a clear indicator that pub session wasn't going to be a fun experience anyway.

I have been thinking about this for a while now and it still amazes me..

Getting serious again, this sounds like a no-go, official servers should have a filter for slurs and common insults - on the other hand I can understand that it could become an issue, if you put some words into the filter, but forget others - you don't want to be accused of deliberately allowing certain slurs, when you really just happen to forget something. In this case it might be safer for the hosts to just put an "internet on your own risk"-label onto it. On the servers I normally play on, you can't even say "I'm an idiot" (which I type quite a lot, apparently), I'd recommend the Don't Fight Together servers once again. Language filter, griefer protection, stable performance, 10-12 slots and you can always call a mod in if something happens.

none of my interactions have i ever seen anyone swear even in dst except me and my friends freaking around. i hope when they add a censorship filter it will be optionable and toggleable in the options because i myself am insensitive to all words

I'm with you, I'm not personally troubled by this - I would just expect Klei to have some report feature for bad behavior like racist language or abusing vtk, griefing etc.  Apparently that isn't the case, and Klei servers are the wild west XD

It just sucked that I finally found a pub world on day 1 to start on, and the vtk started as soon as I could move my character...  The inexplicable racism caught me off guard as I hadn't even said anything.  After this thread I assume it was just some asshat and his friends deciding to troll the server so w/e.

Not a big deal to me.  I usually play solo or with friends on my own world so its not a big hinderance.  I only go to pubs when I want to do something early game, with lag, or player / resource competition.

I have only ever seen something like this once, in my early days, when I exclusively played on pubs. I joined the world in the midst of a heated conversation between two people with very different world views. Needless to say I left after failing to decipher what even started the show
