NA BF4 servers have a Nazi bar problem

fgdxhdgxcvx · 31 Aug 2026 at 21:33 · permalink

A \nazi bar\, is "A space in which bigots or extremists have come to dominate due to a lack of moderation or by moderators wishing to remain neutral or avoid conflict."

I've been playing this game since launch and as the player base shrank only 3 big servers/clans were left in NA banzore, AARP/Rebel Collective and Turtle/Flubber and each one has become incredibly toxic and unwelcoming to play on, almost entirely due to how the communities are moderated.

Homophobia, transphobia, nazi symbols, and death treats routinely go unpunished and met with a response along the lines of \"it's impossible to police the internet\", no one is asking you to do that, you're being asked to police your own server which you have the power to do.

BZ likes to hide behind the "it's just gamer banter" defender but at least to me \denying someone their 2A rights\, \homophobic remarks after getting banned\ and \calling for the death of a minority\don't seem like banter to me. The server also likes to deliberately misgender any trans people who joins which if nothing else is a just a dick move.

On Xbox I report it when I see it. It violates Xbox's terms and conditions and Microsoft is pretty ban happy about that sort of thing

EA/DICE fortunately take action against swastikas but everything else seems to be fair game and left up to individual servers.

TBG doesn't exist anymore?

Checked battlelog and they were empty at the time so I incorrectly assumed they had died off I checked now and there's 80 people across the 2 servers.

Since when did the bf community become such fruit cakes? These modern times suck. Everyone’s a victim

They also take action against Confederate flags and Hammer and sickles.

Edit: I also think they take action against nudity as well.

When BF1 was released they added a feature where you could report peoples emblem/insignias and many people were temporarily banned for insignias that didn't meet their rules and standards.

That's simply called democracy and tolerance

"impossible to police the internet" as the admin literally holds all the tools in his hands... fucking cowards at best and sympathizers at worst.

Just turn text chat off and you'll be fine. Yeah I know, this kind of chat really sucks to have in the game but the text chat can always be hidden. The servers have been this way for as long as I can remember. I usually just hide text chat unless I'm playing with people I know and am unable to use my mic for whatever reason.

I basically only play on Flubber, Turtles, and AAA, but haven't popped in for a while. Servers like TBG and Banzore have more moderation, but those servers I listed (well, mostly the former) have some gameplay rules I don't really agree with
