Bungie doesn't care

It's hilarious that any posts at Bungie.net that ask what Bungie is
doing about the racists on XBL are promptly deleted.

I guess they're starting to think that maybe they have some liability
for people's behavior in a place they (Bungie/Microsoft) host.

Anyway, someone mentioned that you can mute people during a game.
How do you do this? I thought you could only mute after a game.
When I press the Back button during the game, and bring up the player
list, I can't seem to do anything in it.

It wouldn't solve all of the problems, but more than 90% would be solved if
you could just choose "Other Team Muted" for all of your games. That way
you could still communicate with your team. There's no reason that you need
to hear all of the insults that come from the other team.

You can dial down the volume on the headset connector, muting everyone.

Yeah, I definitely do that now. These little punks need to start
learning how to curb their language. If they want to go through life
sounding like an idiot with a 3-word vocabulary, that's fine. But
they need to learn that not everyone wants to hear it constantly.

I know alot of adult gamers who are now being really diligent about
giving feeback for this. No idea if Bungie or Microsoft even look at
it, though.

So far, threats of banning aren't deterring these punks at all.
What they really need are some parents to do their job, but I suspect
most of these kids are white trash from broken homes.

I'll be a man and agree with your sentiments there.
I figured it all already degenerated into a tirade, so "go for it."


I just really do feel strongly about it. These kids are a product of
such terrible parenting, it's sad.

Oh, I dunno...online gaming (and Usenet) is a perfect example of the
safeness provided by the veil of anonymity. Go ahead and act out --
chances are pretty good you won't get your teeth knocked in.

Liability? Why, because someone might get their feelings hurt? Nobody is
protected from having their feelings hurt. Just mute the volume on the
headset, and quit whining.

That's kind of a racist and classist statement.

Why the hell would you pay for XBL just so you can forced to turn your
headphones down? What gives anyone a right to curse, scream, sing or
threaten you because they paid money.

"Nobody is protected from having their feelings hurt".

Bull, read the XBL agreement. What he is addressing is a failure of
MS/Bungie to follow through with that agreement. Its like the bitches on
the usenet who write message after inflammatory message because they have no
fear of retribution. The difference is, we all pay our money for Xbox Live
so there needs to be consequence. Either put them in check by banning their
account or permanently muting their account or even better, making their
personal information viewable so that they can truly be held accountable for
the things that they say to people.

And inaccurate, especially since those would be the people least likely to
have Xbox and broadband internet.
