Not everyone has the money for a copy of Word. There once was a time when free rich text editors were valuable. But at this point I agree it isn't needed anymore. There are plenty of FOSS alternatives to word that hit that market. Microsoft has probably kept it around this long to prevent people from looking, but now they've put their bet on cloud services.
I'd guess that it is doing voice to text, then standard automatic moderation on the text, rather than a new AI that understand hateful sounds. Just a guess though. At this point, you could run the voice to text on local machines and pass that off to the server. Of course that means modders could disable the protection, but the vast majority of users wouldn't be able to do that. It would also give the added benefit of transcriptions for players that can't hear voice chat.
If only used to flag, then passed to a moderation team for verification, it would work really well to police something that is almost impossible to police otherwise. That said, I'm sure they wont do that, they'll just let it handle the moderation and ignore the false positives. Honestly, I'm still OK with that, I haven't used voice chat in games in 20 years because it always devolves into a cesspool. So even bad moderation is better than what we have now.
But that latency is just too high.
I watched the launch live, they set the expectation that "if it gets off the pad it is a successful test" way before the launch. That wasn't just post failure spin. They certainly didn't complete the mission as planned, but they gathered a lot of valuable data. Something tells me that they didn't expect the pad to be as damaged as it was. I'm guessing their data said there would be damage, but it would be significantly less. Now they know. Unfortunately there are few small errors on a ship that size.
Considering the person spearheading this, it seems like the opposite might be the result.
There is a report post button. Not sure where it is on the web interface, but it is there. Jerboa also has one, hidden under the ... menu.
