Gorilla Tag- Toxic Reporting System and Unfair Bans

*THINK TWICE ABOUT SPENDING MONEY IN THIS GAME*
Sadly this game has an aggressive banning system that's driven by a toxic in game reporting system overrun by a bunch of children less than ten years old. They will happily report you en mass for cheating/modding when they have no idea what modding actually is.
The system for appealing bans is so convoluted that it's not even worth wasting your time trying, it involves talking to bots on Discord sending you around in circles wasting huge amounts of your time and getting nowhere. It would be impossible for anybody to appeal a ban that isn't technically savvy with this type of stuff.
I would strongly advise anybody playing this game to think twice about spending money in it. It's infuriating when you have spent money in the game and end up getting banned for 'Cheating'  when you are an honest paying customer.
Same thing will happen if you buy Shiny Rocks for your kids, they will get banned and be unable to play the game that you spent money on simply because of a bunch of children are obsessed with this in game toxic reporting system. The bans are aggressive and increase in time exponentially quickly leading to permanent I.P. bans losing all the in game items that you spent good honest money on.
If you appeal to Meta about it they will be super nice and understanding but the ultimately have to send you in the direction of the moderators of the game, good luck even getting to speak to a human....
I would say just play for free then you have nothing to lose.

    I really can't understand why any parent would exposed their kids to toxic american children.

      And the fact that @metaquestsupport is noticeably absent from the conversation speaks volumes.

      It’s time to ban this game and the company “another axiom” all together.  Their company is a joke.

      Wow, My son has been banned and I thought it was just a fluke, however after review of these comments and similar ones on Steam I can see the game developers are just after $$.  All this automation and 'bots' are just methods to hide from responsibility of moderating the game.  I'm really disappointed but not really surprised by the greed and lack of accountability from the adults that are supposed to be managing this game.  I guess it's time to vote with out $$ and participation [or lack of].  Good luck to everyone , love and prosperity for you and your families in 2026.  We can all find better and more productive things to entertain our children than a toxic game that encourages toxic bullying behaviors.

      All the best,
      A concerned parent.

      I'm not long in VR compared to most people and was curious about Gorilla Tag.. Not for long though. Lol. It's full of screaming kids hurling abuse at each other. I'd just allow them play child friendly single player games. There are plenty of them and stops them getting accustomed to aggressive bad behavior by competing with others for who can curse the most. It's not Meta's fault. In that world supervision is almost impossible. It's difficult to control a classroom of 20 kids. Now multiply that by 100. Best advice. Keep them away from the poisonous environment. Meta isn't a nanny. They can only do so much.. It's your responsibility to do something. You are the parent. When they are on the headset, it's your job to supervise what they play and how they behave.
