Thats not actually a bad idea it could use a report feature or something incase the guy was actually just joking around with his friends or whatever. They actually wouldn't even need to use natal it could just give the xbox a mute if its serious or continous.
But then people could just abuse the system and report needlessly. I'm sure theres some scientifical way of listening to the way a voice sounds and being able to tell whether or not the person is angry, Natal could possibly use that to become an impartial judge.
It wouldn't quite be a ban either, that one player just is automatically muted, if you don't really care about people cussing, you can always unmute him.
Although you could hypothetically monitor somebodies voice in order to figure out if they were "angry" or not, the subtleties of speech and language make it impossible for a computer to take into account the context of the comment. Hence it would take a team of people sitting around listening to conversations and deciding what the comment meant in order to not ban anybody unjustly.
A possible solution is to have a type of three strikes rule. If natal recognizes a swear word three times in a game AND somebody makes a report during that game, then the player gets one black mark. Three marks and they are muted for a week.
Thats a good idea but swear words can still be used like ahh -blam!- I just spilled my soda on me or damn dog, and not actually have them be directed at anybody and someone who simply wanted to report someone for the hell of it comes in and reports them now they can't talk for a week.
I also meant to try and find ways to influence the community to change not just talk about how too punish them.
