kingpotato Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Microsoft revealed a set of guidelines for "Acceptable trash talk" online, this is to avoid insults and prevent users from being disrespectful towards other players during online matches and to protect kid users. Examples of the approved phrases are "potato aim" or "get wrecked". Insulting another user in a really bad way will end up with punishment in form a ban. In my opinion I never had a problem with other players insulting me or them insulting other players. I think we where raised with that atmosphere with early online gamesĀ šĀ I cant recall how many times 12 year oldsĀ have called me a noob or worst (mostly worst) over the years of playing online. What do you think of companies implementing guidelines to avoid insults from users to users ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 I think this SJW manifesto seems like controllingĀ the freedom of speech and setting the tone based on their standards. Kind of something that would make people move away from the company games in such case.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 SJW's are fucking everything up. If it's not something that fits into their tiny bubble of arrogance and narcissism, they go ballistic. I'd like to see every one of them taken out to the middle of the Pacific and thrown overboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a person you need to be able to deal with offensive people, thats one of the basic abilities you need as an adult.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyfire Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Well thank SJW for that. I think they seem to be taking us towards socialist or the communist society that controls freedom of speech yet they preach about it. I hate to see gaming industry dying like this.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
