USER ID Group ban
tracked
Netsu Greyfang
People are continuously finding ways to cheat the VRC Group bans by creating user names that use Characters from different languages to prevent themselves from being found on the search in the search user ban lists... i would like to see the ability to search a user for a group ban by using the VRC user ID.

We still can't search for people by User ID when banning from a group or inviting to a group.
On the other hand, when you search for a User ID using the main website search, you now get taken directly to that User. So there is proof the tech already exsists in the codebase. Please update all relevant search fields to have similar functionality…

The BanLogger system has this as well as the Community Watch program for toxic, COPA violations as well as known Toxic Groups and Avatars to watch out for. (Though moderation of Avatars is still weak.) We specialize on data analytics to find emerging threats and trolls as well as working on the ability to link known trolls to all their Alt Accounts.

Not only in the case of a preemptive BAN before the user joins the group, but also if they leaves the group after trolling it and before I banned them, I cannot ban them.

100% agree. Because moderation is heavily lacking, i would love to make and maintain a blacklist script to implement in my worlds as well but its against ToS to do so. Not sure if the group id ban falls under a similar branch of reasoning though.
The problem with the way we, as a community, have to self-moderate is that we have to be reactive rather than proactive. We should be allowed to ban users by ID from groups and worlds altogether.

No, because the limits you refering to is for world systems

ʙʟᴇᴀᴋ a blacklist is against UDON ToS and would get your world taken down... the issue i have opened here is that when you go to the website to ban someone from any one group instance and they have a name that seems impossible to look up... this causes problems with the group moderation management. being able to look people up by user ID (Example: their Website URL) would make this issue much easier for groups to create their ban list

Have had a few instances of usernames consisting of one single character which renders as totally blank or invisible in-game and on the website, effectively making searching for them impossible.

Ran into this issue today regarding a username with special characters. Even copy pasting the name on the VRChat website into the search bar to ban a user does not bring up the user and I can't preemptively ban them from my group. Ban by user ID just makes sense. Will share this post to try and get some traction on this 😢

n a k u I'm with you. Names with special characters that can't be found by a standard keyboard stroke are also an issue. When you see names like this "×͜x༒__×͜x༒" you know it's created as to make it hard to ban them. That's just an example and that person hasn't done anything to me. I just simply hit x and that was the first to come up.
Here are more examples:
X△○▽X
X×MΣᄂΛƬӨПIП×X
×͜× x ×͜×
X X
These special symbols can be so hard to replicate.

n a k u - we have ran into this a couple times too over the past year but would love to see the id ban as well. hopefully they get the message and implement it asap

use vrcx so when they leave you can highlight there name and ban them on the website without having to type it in always, plus its convenient to keep track of friends and know who is in the lobby at all times

Loppy The Bunny: I would prefer VRChat actually having the feature itself, rather than having to rely on third-party tools.

Deantwothats understandable

Loppy The Bunny Even then, I've had a few names be unselectable within VRCX.

Nagisuchan if search pops up i think it was like find the most accurate person or the one with the same pfp in the instance list, ive come across this issue plenty of times thats how ive fixed that issue
