Enlarge / Which of these gun-toting badasses is actually a toxic player?

Ubisoft is taking extra effort to rein in “toxic” behavior among the more than 25 million registered players of Rainbow Six: Siege. In a blog post last night, the company laid out new policies and procedures for limiting hate speech and antisocial in-game behavior in the game, though many of those changes won’t go into effect until later this year.

The core of the changes centers around players using “racial or homophobic slurs, or hate speech,” defined by the game’s Code of Conduct as language that’s “illegal, dangerous, threatening, abusive, obscene, vulgar, defamatory, hateful, racist, sexist, ethically offensive, or constituting harassment.”

Following on a Reddit post from last month, Ubisoft says it is now actively tracking how often individual players violate this policy and will be issuing bans ranging from two days to permanent. Rather than always starting with a slap on the wrist for first offenses, though, Ubisoft warns that “particularly egregious offenders can be permanently banned without a warning.”
