Hes's a simple solution, squelches quite nicely:

Smartest thing said in this thread.
I paid $10 bucks for a set of headphones if you cant afford that your very sad.
There is a squelch and a report function in this game the operative word here is a"GAME" it aint church or a funeral its a game where a bunch of nerds get together and think there are more than they really are ego's abound in this game as some people get upset and spout off.
But like Jaxxo said a slip is different that a full on rant I think everyone can agree on that one.
Like I said If HTC banned everyone who made a slip from time to time he would be out of buisness toot sweet.
Now is someone starts going on and on being a jerk you should be smart enough to turn down your speakers untill you can mute him and report him.
Its that simple people really it is I have done it myself.
And I might add that on some nights when I am having a rotten night I simply log off untill I can be in a better mood to play a "GAME".
SO if the game becomes so intense that some simply lose it there are all the above options that can be taken and If you dont take the actions to protect your kids ears then you are just as guilty as the offender I mean would you let your kids watch a porno? ofcoures you wouldnt so why would you not take precautions concerning some potty mouths in the game?
You simply cant control all the people all the time so control you own space like marine said and simply report it to HTC its all you really can do.
If you go thrue life trying to control or change everyone you are gonna go nutts just do your best to control you and your familys enviroment.
Think about this we have speeds limits in this country so how many can say they never speed or break any other social taboo's ?
Smack your thumb with a hammer and see if you dont say a no no LOL.
So Is it improper? you bet I agree.
But so is war prejudice theft lying cheating on your wife cheating on your taxes ect ect ect.
All you can do is control yourself and live by your values you cant set values for other people the world just dont work like that.
Unlike Macho man Morpheus If I had a kid and some dork was swearing I would ask him to stop thats all I can do if he does great say thanks and move on.
If he does not I simply walk away and explain to my kid that thats the way
stupide people express themselves and that it is not nice our mature.
Now you have showed your kid how to handle a situation in an adult manner
insteed of showing him how to stoop to primate level and hit someone just because hes an idiot.
Enjoy people and Merry #$%^&*$ Christmas.
