Subject: Immaturity: A discussion on controlling the community of Xbox Live.

This is a continuation of an earlier topic which wasn’t worded in a way that displayed the true meaning; controlling the population of Xbox Live.

The annoyance of anonymity and a microphone plagues Xbox live today as people are abusing their microphone privileges with ear-shattering screeches and obscenities that would make their mothers cry. There needs to be a system in place to keep people such as this in check.

The Proposal:

A feedback option that will make the abuse of voice privileges result in the loss of voice privileges. This could be labeled as “Disruptive.” After a small amount of feedback the user could receive a warning and with a slight bit more feedback will result in a ban in the usage of voice communication. A small amount of feedback could be as small as two games close together reporting such behavior.

Please add your suggestions here and I’ll edit them into this post to make a solid proposal. Please be civilized.

Well for 360 games you can avoid players by giving the feedback and some options are for communication. If they get enough feedback for being too loud or anything it disables their mic I think.

Hmm i have a proposal.

instead of restricting the voice to the extent of banning their privlagies simply limit the volume of the output voice. this way they can scream themselves hoarse and yet on our side, the seem to be speaking normally.

these are all good ideas, but i dont think the designers want to deal with that much more work, which is why selecting that person and muting their individual voice exists. I totally agree with you though, im sick of live being plagued with annoying nonsence and obsceneties that arent called for.

There is a system on MSN voice communication that simply restricts the output level the louder you get,

and i agree with typok that this is most likely to make more work for the designers *sighs* there is always anoher method.. turning down your tv volume or the volume on your headset however this comes with disadvantages.

The X-Box 360 has such a feature. Looks like you got what you wished for?

If only it was actually used. The feedback threshold is too large to do anything quick enough.

Same here.

a side note, this thread should probably be placed in The Flood. Not trying to be an ass, just giving you a heads up.

Good idea. I hate my voice though. I'm 15 and most people on Xbox Live make fun of me because of my 12 year old voice. Sayin', "Oooh, I'm gonna fu**in' ra** yo' ass in SWAT.". Then I get 34 kills against their lousy 11, and they shutup.

Trash talking with friends = fun

Trash talking with complete strangers = mentally handicapped

Yeah...but sometimes people that don't like somebody will probably add feedback for no reason and tell some friends to do the same thing. it'll be a messed up feedback system.
