"you suck at this game you mother f#@$ing #$@@&$#*#*@^@%%!$!!!!"

I play a lot of Xbox live, and have heard my fair share of people hating on others. Today I saw an article on Yahoo stating that some 'policing' is going to start to try and stop gamers from using hateful speech. Good luck with that is all that I have to say to Microsoft or whoever is planning on doing this. At any given time there are over 1 million people playing online games. I do not see how any form of monitoring is going to be able to get more than 10% of these players. The only method of cracking down on these players now is by other gamer's complaints. This process is almost useless. I have complained to Microsoft through the Xbox about my friends just as a joke many times, nothing has happened to them.

The truth of the matter is there is no way to stop people from using hateful language in online games. Many young children playing the game are exposed to the upper echelons of the English language; however, the horrible language is coming from these children as well as adults online. If some parents could hear the things that I have heard their children say on Xbox live, I think there would be a lot more xboxs on sale on ebay. The only time I ever talk on Xbox live is when I am in a game with my friends, and even not talking to the other players, you still get shit on if you do not have a good game.
