Over voice chat, how can Microsoft confirm this and punish accordingly? I just played a raid with a guy who kept calling a member of our fireteam a 'n*gger'. And not in a 'we are acquainted ' kind of way.
I can't help but laugh at a lot of responses here. I said if. I didn't report him, and I won't. In my replies I said I understand people say it's freedom of speech, and they remind me just what the Internet is.
I simply asked how it's addressed, sorry if you choose to jump on it like a bitch in heat.
I also must say, this thread has revitalised my faith in this community. I'm reading as much as I can but not replying: some here seem rather intelligent. It's nice to see.
Final edit. Sorry I haven't responded to all. Some posts pissed me right off.

I played with players who were racist. Finished the match Reported them

To legitimately answer your question. If a user gets reported enough times a admin will look into it perhaps playing in the users game and has the ability to hear what they're saying regardless of if their in the sane group or not. If the reports are true then the admin will make a decision on if a punishment is needed.

Wonder why the excuses for racism are BS? It's because people can't provide a tangible reason for their behaviour since it isn't their own, they were simply born that way. BTW: according to the world, white=racist.

3 RepliesWell regardless - I know a group where slurs don't fly. Don't want to have to deal with slurs from complete strangers feeling brave over the internet?

They probably won't do anything because they're just as worthless as gamer rep was on 360

Edited by ZombieKami: 5/16/2015 11:16:03 PMI hate how quickly people are to bring freedom of speech. It bothers me because they know that they would respond with spitefulness if someone said something they didn't like. Whether it be to them or someone they care about, saying mean things isn't instantly made ok by the freedom of speech. Yes, it [i]allows[/i] you to be an asshole, but that doesn't mean that you [b]should[/b] be.

Get yourself a box of tissues, you seem a little sensitive today.

Edited by Ostensibly: 5/16/2015 8:44:33 PMRacism is a primitive and worthless behavior. I can and will immediately look down on a racist. But making someone else with power shut them up is comparable to bottling up rage. It'll make them resent you even more and exacerbate the issue. When they decide to get with the times and treat other humans with basic human respect then they will stop. If they don't then good riddance to their genes.

2 RepliesDon't report him. I'm sick of that stupid thing on Xbox. Don't be a snitch. He's clearly an idiot so just mute him and ignore. You may not like what he's saying, but I still believe that people have the right to say whatever they want. Reporting him isn't going to immediately enlighten him and make him change his ways. Hodor.

Thanks for this post, I've managed to mute so many idiots in one go and save myself a lot of time later. It's a very efficient method to highlight stupidity. #MuteFest2015

7 RepliesI have some black friends and they say the "er" is what makes it extremely racist and offensive. The word "n*gga" is not offensive at all to them. Just some food for thought.
