Automatic moderation in Forza Horizon 6 is hitting the most creative players—the developers have issued a three-day ban to a user named Fearless_Chemist3591. The reason? His custom car livery has racked up 50,000 downloads and topped the in-game trends. Ironically, the ban came with a dry citation for “inappropriate content.”
How Turn 10 and Playground Games’ algorithms are ruining the fun?
This arcade racing game, set in picturesque Japan, predictably topped the charts and became the top release of 2026. One of the project’s key features is its sophisticated livery editor. People spend hours in the virtual garage, building everything from Optimus Prime to Lightning McQueen (the tools allow for this). Artistic freedom is practically absolute. But it seems the internal filters at Turn 10 and Playground Games are overly paranoid. The victimized creator took to Reddit to share his pain. It turns out, as soon as his work went viral, the system immediately disabled his online functionality for three days. Now, no more co-op racing with friends—only solo driving with bots. The community predictably revolted. There’s a strong feeling that the local automated moderator simply can’t handle logic and is blindly triggered by sudden surges in popularity of user-generated content.
