Quote From: chevysrmeI agree with everything on this episode except the man that was crying about being harrassed while playing video games If you have a problem with someone on XBox Live then you can block all communications from that gamer. You can also choose to avoid that gamer for all future games. As far as his kids playing online he needs to be a responsible parent and set up an underage account for his children. It blocks all communication from other users except for friends added to his childrens list which the parent will need to enter a password. XBox Live automatically sets parental controls an all accounts that the birth date does not equal 18. So if the parent chooses to lie on their kids birthdate then he is to blame. One more thing. There is no way that an individual can find out your exact address on XBox Live or by looking up your Gamer Tag from Google. My husband and I were talking about exactly this as we were watching the segment. The safeguards are already in place, if he's not using them, it's his problem. If he's receiving direct threats, it's a law enforcement problem. It is NOT a Microsoft problem. Another poster mentioned World of Warcraft, which is a slightly different kind of forum where there are many people involved live at all times--there are no web cam issues, and it's more difficult to "mute" someone who is causing trouble. There are jerks wherever you go in life, why in the world would cyberspace be any different? Learn to cope or to "mute" those people.
