Which is why I said a more robust chat interface could solve the issue, not "what we have now allows it".
It's not just the arenas, it's the internet at large. If you want to see a good example of it, take a look at Youtube comments.
Good luck getting people to conform to your definition of "behaving" on the internet.
Now, you can endeavour to police your arena, or alternately, you could give your users the ability to control what they see. I know what makes more sense to me.

The internet is Public, HTC is private, big difference. HTC rules in this little world. What ever they require is what you MUST agree to to be able to play.
Maybe there should be a system message, like for landed kills, that would announce when a player is muted or ejected from an arena.
No, there is no need of that. If the player who got the punishment comes back a squeals about the punishment then he is fair game..... much like here on the boards. If players see some bad behavior suddenly stop it wouldn't be hard to figure out the offending party got nailed.
I think if the "punishments" were handed out as often as the crimes are committed in stead only now and then I think it could go a long way in reigning in some of the garbage.
