I am very upset with Discord and the way its AI just bans folks and strikes their account for no reason or for dumb reasons. The AI clearly lacks context for anything and can easily be exploited by detractors to get you temporarily limited or banned. I haven't been banned, but I've been dealing with false reports from other users (I guess), because I have had 9 violations since the start of 2026. My account was made in 2015, and I've never had a violation until this year. Thankfully, 7 of the 9 were removed because they were ridiculous.

Here are a couple examples of the ones that got removed after appeal: "I hope Ace Combat 8 will have VR support," "I'd pick Portugal," and also "Hi guys." These, I assume, were reported by other users for reasons I cannot begin to fathom. However, my main server is a pretty large geopolitical server, and I'm decently well known in there. Again, no issues until this year.

The two violations that Discord kept were the following:

The first one was from a conversation about a hypothetical US invasion of Europe and whether a united Western Europe could withstand US airpower. Obviously hypothetical, but that was the conversation at the time. I got a violation for violence or whatever on one of the messages. Unsure if it was reported by a person or if the AI just pinged it. I dunno. Nothing about it was endorsing violence or calling for it. it was discussing a ridiculous scenario as a thought experiment.

The second violation that stayed was for "hateful conduct." In said server, these guys were talking all sorts of Jew this and Jew that, blah blah blah... the kind of people that make their personality about Israel. Anyways, I made a joke to mock them because they sounded stupid. I said the following: "Guys, did you know Benjamin Netanyahu runs Israel? The Jews control Israel! Coincidence?" Discord kept the strike. Nothing about it is hateful, even out of context. I assume one of those guys reported it because I was mocking them. No shit the Jewish state is run by Jews- that's the joke.

Discord is cooked. You cannot even make jokes to mock people who were literally breaking Discord's ToS while you weren't. Their AI is so dumb. Now I have 2 strikes on my account, and I'm "very limited." I feel like I have to self censor myself. I cannot even talk geopolitics in a geopolitical server without fear of Discord's AI going dumb or some idiot who disagrees reporting me.

Who reports someone over a disagreement? I've never reported anyone on Discord. I'm a free speech guy, and I literally don't care what others say, even if it breaks Discord ToS. I may not agree with it, but I do not care.

This is mostly a vent

Is there any way to revive Bannerlord's multiplayer? When BL first came into early access, I was all about the multiplayer and loved every bit of it until it eventually got pretty stale. I guess gen z has moved on from Mount & Blade multiplayer, and us millennials are left with no one to play with:( I never really played Warband native multiplayer outside of dueling servers, but the Napoleonanic Wars expansion in 2012 I sunk over a thousand hours in with me and my buddy. While I loved Napoleonanic Wars, my favorite multiplayer by far has to be Fire and Sword. Something about the pike and shot era was really cool and unique, although I played Napoleonanic Wars expansion much more. Maybe TW should do another Napoleonanic Wars expansion or something. (ik it was made by the Mount & Musket mod guys, but still) Napoleonanic Wars blew up Warband's multiplayer base for years and years, and there were always servers with maxed 200 players even in 2016-2018 when it kind of ran its life cycle. At least 2018 is when I stopped playing Napoleonanic Wars. There's gotta be something to make multiplayer great again in Bannerlord. With the new engine and graphics, I'd love to see a pike and shot multiplayer expansion or a Napoleonanic one. Does anyone here play multiplayer or like to see it gain players again?
