Microsofts guide for Acceptable trash talk

Recommended Posts

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 šŸ˜†Ā 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 ?

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

I am surprised that now gamers are forced to not curse in their own friendly matches among friends? I mean come on. So we are getting boot up if I swear among 3 of my friends because microsofts SJW code of conduct says so? No thanks.Ā

So true, I dont think this was an issue back in the old days, hell it always normal. 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

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
