Love Letter to VRChat

VRChat Feature Requests

Dear VRChat: This is more than a game. It is, for many of us, our lives, our passion. We really expect QoL improvements and things broken for YEARS to be fixed before new features are added, please take us seriously.

Moderation & Instance Management

Feature	Description	Canny	Thumbnail
Moderator Identification	A visual indicator (icon on the nameplate, etc) to identify users with moderation powers within an instance. Make it toggleable on/off for people that are on/off duty.	Show who the group instance moderators are
"Report to Instance Mods" System	Replace or augment the "Vote to Kick" button with a "Report" button that alerts active instance moderators. If no moderators are present, it falls back to the standard Vote to Kick system.	Instance Report
Teleport to Reporter / Locating Users	Ability for moderators to teleport directly to the location of a user making a report or initiating a vote kick, and/or Tools to easily locate specific users within a large instance (highlight or waypoint) to facilitate moderation discussions.	Teleport to Offender / Reporter / Locating Bad Actor
One Click Report Button w/ Reason	A streamlined option to Block, Kick, and Report a malicious user in a single click, and let us add a reason so they can see why they were booted. BTW: Opening a page where people just need to fill out a form WHILE IN VR is NOT ACCEPTABLE!.	Add a Block + Kick option to the Kick menu. / Block and Kick updates / Add Reason for kick and blocks / Group moderation reasons for Kick/Ban
Fix In Game Reporting	A streamlined option to report a malicious user in a single click. Auto fill the offending user's name, and let us have a small box to type IN VRCHAT a brief "what the issue is". Auto save audio/video from the last 5 minutes or whatever and attach it to that report. Again, opening a page where people just need to fill out a form WHILE IN VR is NOT ACCEPTABLE!.	Reporting others / Allow Behavior Reporting within the game
Expanded Kick/Ban/Mute Controls	Custom Durations: Control over how long a kick/ban lasts. Reasons: Ability to attach a specific reason to a kick/ban displayed to the person being kicked. Nullify Vote kicks: Option for mods to cancel a vote kick in progress.	Custom Discipline Durations: Control over how long a kick/ban lasts
Website Moderation Integration	Ability to kick or ban users from an active instance directly via the VRC website.	Website Moderation Integration
Manual Instance Resets	Allow moderators/owners to manually reset an instance if a user or bug breaks the world logic.	Manual Instance Resets
Bypass "Instance Closed"	Allow staff to join an instance even if it is marked as closed or full to perform moderation duties. This would include being able to join YOUR OWN CREATED Invite instance.	Bypass 'Instance closed'
World Rank Gating	Option for world creators/instance owners to restrict entry based on Trust Rank (to prevent ban evasion/trolls) Mondo Notez: This would isolate a lot of newbies, so I am not for this one personally, but I AM for better ban evation/troll control to not NEED this in the first place. I'm including it as others were interested in it.	World Filter for User Rank
Ban Evasion/Troll Control	Create a system to recognize ban evaders that are doing it for trolling purposes. IP ban / HWID / Hardware Hash ban via EAC? Make THESE bans escalate quickly. 1 day / 7 days / 30 days / 90 days / Perma
Search Ban List & Remove Ban limit	Enable a search for the group ban list & remove the member limit.	Search Ban List / Ban list search for group bans
VRChat "Sexual Avatar" Banning Overhaul & NSFW Fallback for non 18+ verified	We need stricter rules on what counts and what doesn't, as people seem to be continued to be banned upon removal of the "offending content" (Female presenting nips, nip indentations, pps, butthole, crotch lines, and associated textures, even if not used/visible on the avatar) Mondo Notez: In the future if "ban waves" are a-coming, give us a FUCKING HEADS UP, so we can fix the issue first. Treat us humanely, with dignity, like responsible adults, please! Give us the opportunity to fix something before smacking our hand. We community leaders are valuable to the community. We do a lot of this work for free. Help us help you. Mondo Notez: *mumbles to self* Restitution for people unfairly banned before "the process was redone" would be great. Also if something is marked as NSFW, automatically show fallback to anyone not 18+ verified.	Clarify NSFW Banning / NSFW Content / NSFW Behind Verification / Age verification/NSFW avatars / NSFW Loading Screen Tip Misconception <- (Fix this?)
Player Mods	Enable trusted, vetted people to be player mods. Let them wander instances and either ban bad actors, or escalate reports that are genuinely bad, without people having to rely on rando T&S reports. Maybe summon an admin to asses.	Apply for Moderation / Player Moderators Pmods / Player Moderators / Community Player Moderators / Volunteer Moderators / In Game Moderators / Global Moderators for VRChat

Crossover Events	Native support for multiple Groups to co-host a single event or instance.
Display Rules on Join	A pop-up or some sort of UI element that displays Group or Instance rules immediately when a user joins. Furry Hideout does an awesome job of this!	When clicking join on a group instance, the group rules should pop up and you should have to press accept before joining the world.
Toggle Join Request Notifications	An option to mute/disable notifications specifically for Group Join Requests. Mondos Notez: Highly requested feature, as we had to change our entire group because the join requests were SPAMMING event hosts into quitting.	Toggle Join Request Notifications on groups
Discord Integration	Official integrations to link VRChat Group roles or actions with Discord servers.	Integration with Steam / Discord / Twitch
Groups Fair Overhaul	ATM Groups Fair is a "smol calendar within a calendar" which is a row of worlds that is fairly far down the list in the VRC worlds category. Make it PROMINENT. Having an event IN the calender in the first place has gathered WAY more new users than the groups fair category.
Recurring Events on VRC Calendar	PLEASE	Recurring Events
Remove VRC Calendar Rate Limit	Right now it says "Something went wrong" after 10 or so added events, OR edited/modified events, and no verbose verbiage on WHY or WHEN it will be lifted.	Needs MOAR Verbose error messages
Group Staff Rate Limiting	Natural safeguards to prevent "rogue mod" scenarios where a staff member empties a group or mass-bans users overnight. Allow Group Owners to set thresholds (Max 20 kicks / 5bans per day). If a mod exceeds this, their permissions are temporarily suspended.
Mass Revert / "Undo" Action	An "Emergency Undo" feature to recover from a rogue moderator or hijacked account. Ability to "Undo all actions by [User]" (unban all users banned by X in the last 24 hours) to avoid manually unbanning/unkicking thousands of users.	Group Staff Moderation Rate Limiting
Auto Send Announcements	Auto send an announcement to people when an instance in the calendar goes live. Have the ability to turn this off, also the option to turn it on "only for events I am interested in".	Announcements: Attach world instance
Sort Calendar by DATE	Sort the Calendar events I want to find karaoke events happening.... right now. or today. I don't care about January 21st at 7pm. I want to scream Linkin Park -now-.	Sort Calendar events by DATE
Feature Groups On Website	Feature Groups on the website, and link to our group page!	Feature Groups On Website

UI & Website Improvements

Feature	Description	Canny	Thumbnail
Support Ticket Transparency & Updates	Provide more frequent and transparent updates on support tickets.	Transparency Reports for Trust & Safety / Moderation Transparency in Groups
User ID Search	Ability to search for users directly by their User ID.	User ID Search in Groups
Group Search Fix	Fix the bug where you search for a user and they do not show up. "Just use VRCX" is not a solution, it is a BANDAID to a problem.	Group search is broken for random people
Group Permission Fix	Fix the bug where ANYONE can make a group instance of ANY type regardless of permissions using VRCX.	Group Permission Bypass with VRCX Fix / Missing permissions check on group public instance creation
Relocate "Hide Notifications"	Move this button on the menu to prevent accidental clicks when trying to interact with Group Announcements.	Relocate "Hide Notifications"
Print Moderation Improvements	Ensure users can delete their own prints from gallery/website WITHOUT VRC+.	Print Moderation Improvements without VRC+
Image Moderation Improvements	Let group owners & trusted event hosts upload images WITHOUT VRC+.	Group Owners should be allowed to Update Group Image or Banner without VRC+
Camera blocking in UI mode	Remove the camera from showing in UI mode. It blocks the person's avatar who's taking the picture.	Nametag on, Camera off in screenshots / Turn Fog and Camera OFF in "UI" enabled pictures / Turn camera & fog off in "UI" pictures
Potato Mode Presets	Have settings on a quick menu for "Potato Mode" "Medium Mode" and "HQ Mode" that automatically adjusts VRC's settings to the 2 optimal settings.	Presets for Settings (similar)
Consolidate Little Boy & Big Boi Menus	Some settings are only available in the little boy quick menu that you cannot get to from the big boi options menu. This may have been fixed?
Customizable Little Boi menu	Let us CHOOSE what is on the little boi menu vs "What you think we want". Selfie Expression on/off would be a great thing to be able to put on there if it's something you care about. The Proposed Potato/Medium/Ultra setting would be great to be on there too.	Customizable Menu / Customizable Action Menu / Please make the Tools in the Action Menu customizable.
Optimize Big Boi Options Menu Button Visibility	Directing people to the big boi menu is difficult when it seems to be hidden amongst the buttons at the top. For example, when trying to show them how to turn untrusted URLS on when they are new.	Optimize Big Boi Options Menu Button Visibility
