Racists on XBL

[MBrown]

Every other game I play on PGR3 there is some dumb peson who keep on saying "I don't like black people" or "I think they smell funny" or "I don't like MBrown because Brown is like Black." It pisses me off so bad! Is there a way to report these stupid people who think its funny?

Its very common, i know. I remember it when i had an xbox.

I'm not sure if you can or not, but i would think there is some way to report people, however even if there is such a thing, i doubt they would do anything.

You might as well try to make them stop calling everything "gay."

They're 12 year olds, what do you expect?

Very true

 

[atybimf]

Yeah definitely

What I think is hilarious is when my friend's sister (she's very hot) takes over the mic while my friend plays and all the guys start babbling and sounding like complete idiots.

Anonymous kiddy losers on XBL just act stupid to try and get a rise out of someone. Since you can't backhand them into next week like they deserve, just grow a thicker skin.

It comes with the territory. There will always be immature teens and kids online as long as they know they can hide behind a screen. I was guilty of that too back in the days of AOL 3.0.

These arent 12 year olds saying this. These are young men saying these stupid things.

It sucks and there is nothing you can do about it. Just be happy knowing that their big mouth will most likely get them a good ass whooping in the future.

You can report these people by going to the list of people you just played with and submit a player review. Racism is actually a category that you can put them into while filing. You can also add them to the list of people that the system will never match you up with again.

There, thats right, i remember now. I did this quite frequently. It works very well, never play with the same asshat twice.

This isn't much, but it's a start. Just file the racism through this method.

I heard some story about balls appearing on the screen. Those penny-arcade guys can sure call it.

Good info! Not being the console type, I had no idea XBL had that ability.

Not every online community is as mature at ATOT!

Oh wait...

yea its nice and it actually works pretty well, they do read those things and they do ban people, Halo 2 is worse, honestly i cant play it anymore because of the people on it

Develop thick skin, verbal racism and insults based on sexuality do not matter, it makes no sense to be offended by them.

 

[AUMM]

for some reason i find a lot of the people on live in the games I play are from the midwest...anyone else notice this?

It's not just Live. It is any game with voice chat. I've gotten it in BF2 and more.

Report, give negative feedback, and mute the assholes. That is a major benefit of Xbox Live.

To report someone do the following:

1) Click the Xbox button to bring up the OS menu
2) Select Players
3) Select the player you want to report
4) There's an option in there to leave negative feedback and report them.

Alternatively, in PGR3 and many games, you are given the option to leave feedback on someone at the end of a match when the leaderboard is being shown....usually the "Y" button.

I'm surprised no one has linked to this yet.
