Making offensive emblems in Black Ops 3 will get you banned

Give gamers creation tools in any game, and they will make penises. Such is the law. It’s something we saw with Spore, it’s something we saw once SimCity allowed curved roads – and people even etched out blocky penises in Peter Molyneux’s Curiosity. Minecraft, Halo’s Forge, Forza’s decals, Little Big Planet – and it’s something we’re even seeing in Fallout 4 right now. Spoilers, I guess.

This year’s Call of Duty – like some previous – allow users to create their own emblems and insignia to plaster all over their guns. As you’d imagine, the juvenile amongst us have taken it as an opportunity to make cocks.

Treyarch’s having none of it. Those who’re found making reprehensible content are finding themselves on the end of a banhammer, says Gearnuke. Not a temporary one either, as the ban seems to be permanent. Stuff that’ll get your access to the designer features? Penises, other genitalia, Nazi symbolism, racist twaddle, ISIS flags and other things deemed in poor taste.  It’s worth keeping in mind that this has been happening since the first Black Ops, so shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. The ban is only from the feature and not the game itself.

Now while there are those who will decry this sort of banning as an affront to free speech, Call of Duty’s servers are a private platform, and they have the right to ban anything they see fit. If you are the creative sort, there are probably better ways to show off your talents than by making digital dicks and being generally offensive. Might I suggest rainbows, flowers and unicorns?

        With ones that have relevance to weapons? Maybe.

        In general? Not even close

    There is a point where “free speech” crosses a line. So I support this, but only in the sense of Nazi symbolism or ISIS flags, racism/derogatory remarks. I mean penises? it’s an 18+ rated game, it’s relatively harmless.

      That may be true, but I think Treyarch is well aware that its playerbase is mostly consisted of 10 year olds :p

        In my case it’s almost four 10 year olds.

    Treyarch is discriminating against a condition affecting 8% of people, what are they going to do next ban people from eating dick-shaped food.

    I have noticed the COD folks like to re-create Logo’s for Porn sites !? Also, The female form is apparently a thing and yes, I have seen a Member or two. Hell, I saw a Nazi emblem a couple of days ago. The strangest one I have seen so far is a picture of male junk squirting badly rendered white stuff with a crude message saying let me put my dick on your butt. WTF ?

      I think they’d allow it. They’d also nerf you so bad that you’d get shot in the face from around conrners as punishment.

    Off topic. But there was a article about the lack of innovation in games, Looking at this video, To be able to utilise in game mechanics in a franchise like Fallout to create a animated Billboard of sorts, Even if crude and questionable in aesthetic nature, Is pretty damn innovative.
