Implement Fair Username Moderation in Arc Raiders
The Issue
To Embark Studios and the ARC Raiders Development Team:
We are asking Embark Studios to reconsider its automated username moderation system and implement a fair, transparent, and consistent process for evaluating player names.
Recently, players have found themselves forced to change usernames that they have used to establish their identities within the ARC Raiders community. Some of these names have been part of their gaming identities, streaming brands, and community recognition long before these automated restrictions were introduced.
My own experience involves the username im_AshCheeks, a name I have used to build my streaming identity and used in the rubber duck contest hosted by Embark Studios. I won second place with Arcade Duck, which was added to the game as a trinket, and im_AshCheeks is given recognition for Arcade Duck in Embark Studio's update on their website and many social platforms. Having that identity flagged and restricted has been hurtful and frustrating, particularly when other usernames that appear to reference genuinely disturbing or offensive subjects remain visible.
This is not a request to eliminate moderation or allow inappropriate usernames. It's a request for moderation that makes sense.
We are asking Embark Studios to:
1. Provide a manual review process for usernames flagged by automated moderation.
2. Restore usernames that are determined not to violate the Code of Conduct.
3. Make moderation standards clearer so players understand what is and isn't permitted.
4. Apply those standards consistently across the player base.
5. Establish a transparent appeal process for players who believe their names were incorrectly flagged.
Players deserve to know that their identities and community reputations won't be discarded because of an automated decision without a meaningful opportunity for review.
ARC Raiders has built a community around its players. We want to continue being part of that community, representing ourselves, our streams, and the friendships we've built along the way.
We aren't asking for special treatment. We're asking for fair treatment.
Please reconsider the current username moderation process and give players a voice in how it is implemented.
