Wow a serious post!!!

Why is no one talking about how bad the new player reporting system is in 1.19.1? I've only seen two YouTubers voice their concerns about how much of a poor decision it is to implement a system where Mojang get to decide to ban you.

Every server on Java Edition is player run. It's up to the staff team to decide the rules, punishments and what they think should be and should not be allowed on their server. Mojang and Microsoft should have no say in how people decide to run THEIR servers, especially private servers. This has never been a problem before so why is this system only being added now?

Some of the reasons they also give for reporting are also horrible such as "Profanity" and "Drugs and Alcohol" (https://imgur.com/Y9wwFvq) which is a rule the server admins should decide on and should not be something that is completely banned across the entirety of Minecraft. I do however agree with some of the reasons listed in the image I linked and understand why they are there.

I haven't even mentioned how this whole system can be abused, which can be seen in any other game that includes player reporting. Mojang and Microsoft do not have context over any of the messages sent and can end up banning players with no solid reasoning or just by accident.

This also moves me on to the most recent pre-release, where it states that when you get banned, you can't play on realms or multiplayer AT ALL. This means you get banned from your own PRIVATE server. Which is just a horrible idea.

I understand why they want to add this system, but is not the way to do it. Stop and rethink your approach Mojang, you can do so much better.
