!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Honestly the greater issue I have is with developers that haven't touched enough grass to realize that some people are named Gaylord or live in Cunthorpe or whatever.

That, and the stupid culture which insists that baby must only see baby words, not mean old grownup words.

The people in charge of those decisions just shouldn't have such power. And if a user names themselves removedHater1995 you can still intervene based on reports from others.

Are devs supposes to know every single weird old name in existence beforehand and add that to a giant exception array?

They just can't ever do anything right then.

If they do, do something. Someone fell through the cracks and Xbox sucks and devs needs to be fired.

If they don't do anything, then the Xbox sucks because they enable racism, homophobia, harassment, etc. And devs needs to be fired.

What do you want? Besides firing everyone involved apparently. The problem got fixed. They updated their training to ensure customer support handle these cases better in the future.

This was in 2010. Have there been more of those incidents since then?
