Foul language is one of the many things that ruins the gaming experience and until now, nobody could really do much to regulate in-game chat. But with the xbox one and the playstation 4's voice recognition technology, bad language can be detected and met with a penalty [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5okb9Vc8SY] as demonstrated in this video.[/url].
In Destiny, players should be kicked from the game every time they swear and put on a 5 minute time out box in which they would be unable to join any matches. The penalty will double every time they break it:
1st foul: 5 minutes
2nd foul: 10 minutes
3rd foul: 20 minutes.
4th foul: 40 minutes
5th foul: 80 minutes and so on.
This would be a great deterrent for foul language. And the best part? If you want to swear, then don't use the microphone or the kinect.
EDIT: Apparently there is some misunderstanding about freedom of speech. The first amendment says that government cannot regulate free speech. This amendment does NOT apply to corporate services such as xbox live and PSN. If they want to crack down on profanity, they have every right to do so. In fact, both Microsoft and Sony are removing streams that have excessive profanity. Food for thought.
Second EDIT: A few people have brought up the fact that the ESRB does not regulate online interactions. This is quite irrelevant, as they are only responsible for reviewing the game content. That would be like somebody saying the FDA does not regulate electrical installations as an argument against electrical safety. It is completely irrelevant.

You're not taking it far enough. They should be forcibly removed from their homes and taken to a "clean-up" facility where they are brainwashed by forcing them to watch PC propaganda media for hours a day before being released back into society.

Fuk that. Who gives a fuk about fukn "foul" language. Every fukn word in the fukn English language is just a random fukn arrangement of the same fukn 26 letters. Nothing foul about it, it's just a fukn word. Get over it you fukn scrub.

Edited by Lurid Jester: 10/28/2015 5:28:20 PMYeah, many Americans have no actual idea what our Freedom of Speech actually covers. It's sad really. That said, who decides what is "foul"? Any offense you take at a word is due to the baggage you bring to the conversation. Haven't found a word yet that offends me while my coworkers are offended by [i]moist[/i], or [i]sphincter[/i], or definitely a [i]moist sphincter[/i]. I don't cuss very often though, because when I do I want people to take notice. ;) I get my money's worth.

Seriously? I don't actively use foul language because I have children around. That being said, the other day when I was running VoG after not having run it for a while, we finally got to the gatekeeper. My buddy asks if I got the left portal, and I say sure. I'm level 40, so going in solo is cake, yeah? I hadn't died yet, so it was all good. I smash through the portal, tether the stupid gatekeeper, and fire off two Rockets at his mandible. I make a dash for the relic, but it isn't there yet. That's when I realize I'm standing next to the corpse of the gatekeeper which is about to blow me up. I pull a Jeff Daniels in Speed, and lightly utter "F***...". Sometimes it happens. You do something dumb, and curse yourself. You want to give people a time out for that? Why not just mail them a bar of soap?!
