343 Industries (Halo 4 Creators) Threaten Permabans for Sexist Comments - Polidicks

If this system is done based on complaints filed by users, then there will be a large amount of pissed off kids abusing this

[quote=The Article ]but the service is also monitored by "enforcers" who will [b]sit in on games in progress and watch for trouble[/b]. Enforcers also review logs for problems and then confront offending players with the evidence of their misdeeds[/quote] I hope they don't do this with friends-only/invite-only games.

Honestly, I don't mind this. Weeds out the morons.

[QUOTE=Dori;38279185]poor men [editline]1[/editline] I am literally crying[/QUOTE] I don't really see what his comment had to do with the thread, but you're implying that sexist jokes against women are horrible(which you have said before) while sexist jokes against men are a-okay that's a pretty big double standard

xbox live -> 10$ a month baby sitting service

We should do this with Facepunch.

[QUOTE=Starpluck;38280571]We should do this with Facepunch.[/QUOTE] sanius/dori would explode with joy

Guarantee you this only applies to sexism directed at females Just hypothetically I doubt they'd or most other people for that matter would take it any degree seriously if there were any sexim directed at men

[QUOTE=Andokool12;38280583]Guarantee you this only applies to sexism directed at females[/QUOTE] yeah but when does sexism towards men actually happen in computer games

[QUOTE=Andokool12;38280583]Guarantee you this only applies to sexism directed at females[/QUOTE] oh yeah because women on xbox live constantly berate males on a daily basis lmao [editline]1st November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;38280557]I don't really see what his comment had to do with the thread, but you're implying that sexist jokes against women are horrible(which you have said before) while sexist jokes against men are a-okay that's a pretty big double standard[/QUOTE] he didn't imply that all stop grabbing every single straw you can while rating everyone dumb

[QUOTE=thisispain;38280604]oh yeah because women on xbox live constantly berate males on a daily basis lmao[/QUOTE] SHEESH IT'S HYPOTHETICAL

[QUOTE=thisispain;38280604] he didn't imply that all stop grabbing every single straw you can while rating everyone dumb[/QUOTE] Yes he did

[QUOTE=Andokool12;38280622]SHEESH IT'S HYPOTHETICAL[/QUOTE] good when we want to discuss hypothetical situations we'll use hypothetical solutions right now we're dealing with a real issue so to suggest hypotheticals is utterly pointless

[QUOTE=Andokool12;38280622]SHEESH IT'S HYPOTHETICAL[/QUOTE] And they will. If a chick makes a disparaging remark against a dude based off of his gender she'll be banned. Its just that its virtually a none-issue.

[QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;38280641]Yes he did[/QUOTE] you don't give a fuck anyway, just rate dumb and move on like usual

[QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;38280641]Yes he did[/QUOTE] stop antagonizing dori in your favor cause it's really annoying

[QUOTE=thisispain;38280659]you don't give a fuck anyway, just rate dumb and move on like usual[/QUOTE] See, now you're just stirring up drama. I rate posts dumb that I think are dumb, and I comment on the ones that I think are worth it. Either have a discussion or don't, but don't try to stir up shit.

[QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;38280557]I don't really see what his comment had to do with the thread, but you're implying that sexist jokes against women are horrible(which you have said before) while sexist jokes against men are a-okay that's a pretty big double standard[/QUOTE] That isn't what he meant at all. He said that because he was replying to a strawman. And you are building up a strawman too. [QUOTE=Mr. Smartass;38280680]See, now you're just stirring up drama. I rate posts dumb that I think are dumb, and I comment on the ones that I think are worth it. Either have a discussion or don't, but don't try to stir up shit.[/QUOTE] Ratings don't promote discussion, only stiring up shit.

It is amazing how everyone goes up in arms over a simple and pragmatic measure to reduce rampant sexism. People are saying the dumbest things in this thread to attack this rule Jesus Christ just go to the Men's Right's forum.

Can we stop making this personal and get back on-topic? Now we're just arguing over who's stirring up drama and little boxes in the corners of posts I'm gonna get flamed for this post but fuck it

[QUOTE=thisispain;38280604] he didn't imply that all stop grabbing every single straw you can while rating everyone dumb[/QUOTE] When talking about sanius, oh my.

[QUOTE=zakedodead;38280905]When talking about sanius, oh my.[/QUOTE] "it's sanius guys lmao.."

[QUOTE=Ownederd;38280917]"it's sanius guys lmao.."[/QUOTE] I'm just saying that's pretty much what sanius does/is doing.

What about the racism and homophobia, that seems to be much more rampant

[QUOTE=Doozle;38280962]What about the racism and homophobia, that seems to be much more rampant[/QUOTE]Both of those are distinctly covered in the Xbox Live TOS. Sexism however is not.

The threat of permaban quickly discourages others from doing the offense. It's harsh, but it's effective.
