Persona is in fact, linked to Palantir. This is the same controversy discord is having currently with it's verification. Persona is currently in several disputes regarding maintaining user data longer than it's privacy clause dictates due to said involvement with palantir. Palantir is pushing for a surveillance state that puts minority groups at risk. Palantir Is not something VRC should want to be associated with.

Recently, the creator of the VR Poker world was banned by VRChat for technically breaking the creator guidelines. They implemented a preemptive moderation system, due to the prevalence of hackers/cheater/client users abusing game mechanics/giving themselves in-game currency. Given the recent emergence of worlds that use the World Persistence feature (in this case, persisting user currency across instances), I believe that this brings unique challenges related to gameplay integrity. I am not sure what the solution is, however, I wanted to open this canny to start a discussion around the topic and to track that this is a problem that is now happening. A couple ideas off the top of my head: Update the Creator Guidelines to include a wider scope of what is or is not allowed in terms of cross-instance moderation Create new Udon APIs/systems that allow for complex moderation/reports that can be automatically handled/generated by the world itself

[Problem] Currently, the only information available before entering a world is a single thumbnail and a short description. This creates several issues: High Friction for Discovery: Users have to load and join a world just to see what it is like. This makes finding new favorite worlds time-consuming and discouraging. Hidden Gems get Buried: High-quality worlds often go unnoticed if their single thumbnail doesn't perfectly capture their depth. Misleading Thumbnails: Some worlds use "clickbait" thumbnails that do not reflect the actual content, leading to a poor user experience. [Proposed Solution] I propose expanding the World Details Page (both on the Website and in-game UI) with the following features: Image Gallery: Allow creators to upload multiple screenshots to showcase different areas of the world. Video Support: Allow embedding of a trailer or a short preview video. Review System: Implement a way for users to post reviews or ratings to help others judge the quality of the world. [課題] 現在、ワールドに入る前の判断材料が「サムネイル1枚」と「短い説明文」しかありません。これには以下の問題があります。 ・探索のハードルが高い: 実際にロードして入室しないと雰囲気が分からず、好みのワールドを探すのに多大な時間と労力がかかります。 ・良質なワールドの埋没: コンテンツが素晴らしいワールドでも、サムネイル1枚で魅力を伝えきれずに埋もれてしまうケースがあります。 ・ミスマッチの発生: 逆に、サムネイルだけが魅力的な「サムネイル詐欺」のようなワールドに誘導され、実際の体験とのギャップに失望することがあります。 [解決案] ワールド詳細ページ（Webおよびゲーム内UI）を以下のように拡張することを提案します。 ・ギャラリー機能: 複数の紹介画像（スクリーンショット等）を表示できるようにする。 ・動画サポート: 紹介トレーラーやプレビュー動画を再生できるようにする。 ・レビュー/評価システム: ユーザーがワールドに対するフィードバックや評価を投稿・閲覧できるようにする。

With the "automatic invites" feature, we seriously need the ability to make the group "open invite" with the "18+ age verified only" toggle available.

What we want: In desktop mode, right-clicking will be changed to a grab action. This will align with other platforms and eliminate the need for platform-specific hacks to set auto-hold. Alternatively, left-clicking could be changed to force a hold, like on smartphones. With VRCPickup 1.1 VR Auto Hold on -> Grab toggles (grab again to drop), and PickupUse is enabled by triggering while holding. Auto Hold off -> Grab becomes hold-type, and PickupUse is enabled by triggering while holding. Desktop Auto Hold on -> Grab toggles (right-click to drop), and PickupUse is enabled by left-click while holding. Auto Hold off -> Grab becomes hold-type (release left-click to drop), and PickupUse is disabled (because the left-click is held down). Smartphone Forced hold regardless of Auto Hold, and both Drop and PickupUse buttons appear while holding. This shows. To use PickupUse in desktop mode, Auto Hold must be turned on, but in VR mode, Auto Hold should generally be turned off.

I'm sure a lot of us who in here deals with this issue and it's very annoying to track quickly or find out who's avatar is emitting global audio sound or other audio sounds. It would be a nice addition to VRC itself, as well as moderation to have a way to find out which users are emitting Avatar Sounds or Global Audio sounds and not having to turn/off every avatar in an instance which can be quite tedious and time consuming. Excuse my Microsoft paint Drawing skill, but it would be nice to have it in the 'Instance' Tab, as that's where I and I think most of us look for people talking/playing audio to disrupt other issues, especially when they're hiding in meshes. The blue (Which we already have) shows Voice being transmitted, the red on the right would indicate if an user is emitting Avatar Audio the left when Voice is transmitted.

Had 2 options when selecting to vote kick. Reason 1 - Nuisance Reason 2 - AFK Nuisance reason will be a bad strike on safety system. AFK reason will not effect the status of the player. Simply allows to kick someone who has either gone extended AFK or Sleep.

The Avatar Parameter Driver component can add to a paramater, but cannot add two parameters together. The only way to do this is to use an Animated Animator Parameter, which cannot be sync'd. To sync the result of this you need to use proximity contacts and sync the result. This whole system means that to do basic maths operations, you need to have multiple layers, contacts and excess parameters. In general, this is a very clunky system, which creates unnessecary lag. The Avatar Parameter Driver can already add a fixed value to a parameter, allowing it to add two Parameters together would cause a lot less friction in these cases.

The extremely popular use (in Public instances) of 'crasher avatars', is under the grand assumption that: "Once the crasher that I favorited is banned, I can switch to another one that is not banned and continue to disrupt game-play." "I can upload a crasher avatar on an alternative account, then abuse it on my main account, then rinse and repeat, even if the alt banned." VRChat prints are moderated under the philosophy that anyone who has favorited / saved someone else's print will receive a portion of the moderation the uploader does, so why not extend this logic to avatars under specific circumstances? [Real-world cases]: Please review the attached video for real-world example of users who have gone through several moderated crashers, but have not themselves been moderated. Best case example is the output logs provided. 100+ users that switched into public Crasher avatar uploaded by Blackkv65 will/have not be/been punished when VRChat Moderation finally deems/deemed "chatgpt" malicious. I have had my VRChat.exe crashed in (Public) instances by users ranking between Visitor to User who use avatars that frequently bypass conventional Trust Rank systems. This happens about once per hour in populated (50+ Public) instances from my experience. [Justification]: A widespread deterrent such as warning, limiting, or banning secondhand use means that bad actors are punished for simply using each-other's malicious avatars, this could degrade coordination and minimize bad actor behavior. By attaching consequences to secondhand use and not just the uploader, violators could receive (e.g.) a three or seven day ban for each subsequent abuse of avatars, depending on intention. This change would expand the scope of moderation to reach users who use content uploaded on an alternate account to then wear on their main account (to bypass moderation), alongside Visitor and New User ranks who don't upload content but use malicious content. [Note]: Please do excuse the usernames in the logs, two are VRChat output logs (where I was crashed by 'chatgpt'), one is from Events Protection Logger (listing the hundreds of times it has been used, yet, all of the listed users of the avatar will not be moderated in any way, shape, or form once it is removed).

I have been around for awhile now in VRC and I have noticed a growing number of children under the ages of 9 and younger coming into the VRC worlds and harassing normal players. I would like to request to add a report under-aged player to the report forms to help deal with these problems and set an understanding that rules must be upheld. Otherwise They're just going to think they can do what ever they wish without consequences and sexual predators are going to attack these children. I have heard such cases in vr already to have happened from others I have met the youngest being 5 years of age.
