So what, this is how every multiplayer game works. I don't think it has anything to do with being kid friendly, it's just common sense. Banning racism, threats, bullying, hatred, and cheating are completely fine by me, in fact, I want those players to get banned even if they're doing it on a private server. In rust people get EAC banned and the community has good methods for tracking those users, including ban evasions and hardware id. You break the rules you suffer by losing access to the game and if you think you'll be safe using an alt account think again, you'll get caught and be out even more money. If you've ever used an xbox and played a multiplayer game you know people aren't getting banned for just profanity. I've had a steam account for 18 years, not a single ban and I've talked a lot crap in game, I just don't cross any lines or make it personal. Crazy how that works...

In rust you can get EAC banned from official servers and private servers with EAC enabled. But you can always join private servers with EAC disabled even if you have a EAC ban on your account. So players are free to make whatever rules they want on non-EAC servers including allowing cheating. In minecraft many servers allow and even encourage cheating. They are called anarchy servers and they are actually the source of a lot of interesting minecraft content. Its really cool to see what play styles people come up with when they are allowed to cheat.

  EAC is also loaded client side. Try loading Rust in Linux without connecting to a server and watch your account get insta/perma banned. Yeah, places like 2B2T are full of racists, super interesting content...

    Here is a screenshot of a rust QA explaining that on linux you can run rust fine, you just cannot join any servers that have EAC enabled. https://i.imgur.com/drSwiZ3.png https://i.imgur.com/drSwiZ3.png

      Which is all of them. Official servers, community, and modded all run EAC. Maybe something changed with steam deck but trying to connect to an official server and getting permabanned seems fairly unplayable in my book.

        any server which shows up in the server browser has EAC. To connect to non EAC servers you have to directly connect with a f1 command `client.connect <hostname>`.
