I know this was technically possible in Rust (the game, not the language) circa 2015 (when I last played). I'm not sure how often it was used to trigger bans or local law enforcement action, but I wouldn't put it past people in that community. I stopped playing specifically due to the community's toxicity.
- prvit 4y agoCan you actually show a documented example of this? I strongly suspect this is a myth akin to the common reddit copypasta supposed to trigger Chinese filters (and that one is way more likely to work, at least it’s HTTP traffic).
- whoknew1122 4y agoI didn't take any pictures 7 years ago to provide evidence to a forum I didn't even know about at the time, no. But there's someone on Reddit complaining about the same thing at the same time period.[1] NSFW words (not pictures) in the link [1] https://www.reddit.com/r/playrust/comments/3jdjdc/can_we_talk_about_images_on_wooden_signs/ https://www.reddit.com/r/playrust/comments/3jdjdc/can_we_tal...
- prvit 4y agoOh, yeah, you could totally upload nasty pictures. What I’m questioning is the original claim that people have been using these mechanisms to trigger automatic internet censorship systems to kick people off game servers.
- julianeon 4y agoAn easy test for plausibility in these cases is: Can we prove a more extreme case? Here the answer is: yes. People demonstrably SWAT others in online games. Victims have actually died from this. Yet it continues to happen. So since the more extreme case - do people trigger police visits to other player's houses, knowing they may die? - is true, the milder case of triggering automatic censorship seems very likely to be true also.
