Minecraft's chat reporting and moderation features were initially announced last month and quickly received criticism from the community for not being suited to the job. Despite some level-headed criticism and reasoning being levied against the tools, Mojang has said they'll stick with the features as they are.
MojangMeesh the community manager on Reddit, put up an explanation of the decision. "We appreciate and value all feedback, however it does not mean that feedback will ever change the design principles Mojang Studios adheres to - this includes the upcoming reporting system." The second paragraph of the comment states that players have been posting comments on complaints submitted by Mojang employees. Harassment is a bad thing, and is, ironically, the purpose of the reporting features in the first place.
A lot of players responded to this comment by saying that they don't feel listened to. To them, each of their Minecraft servers is an uninvolved safe space and shouldn't be censored in the event that they don't wish it to be. Steve is blogging These features can be removed from your server by using Spigot or CurseForge mods.
If there aren't any complaints or discussions about the features, it's normal for players to be dissatisfied. Many players have over a decade in this game and as adults, think that they shouldn't have to be watched. It's important to remember that Minecraft is a game played by many younger players. Therefore, safety features must be in place to safeguard players. But, it doesn't seem that anything will change soon.
