Well, this is a touchy subject for me. I have a 6 yr. old with his own account. Now, at this age, he really doesn't pay attention to the text buffer, nor does he even understand the term used by the offender in Pimpjoe's case...but one day he will.
Now, we DO have squelch, however, I cannot monitor ever line of text that comes over my sons computer either.
So I am left with two choices. Bag his account or let it go. The former choice is a real bummer for him. The latter could have behaviorial consequences unforeseen down the road.
Swearing doesn't bother me, nor does rude suggestions as Pimp posted, but forcing it upon others on an open channel DOES. Thats why we have a private channel.
Now, I'm SURE that I'm not the only one with kids either flying, or looking over ones shoulder, or friends looking over ones shoulder either. If it were MY business, I would empower MORE users the ability to mute..and suffer the consequences of that, than I would to let it carry on and suffer no doubt worse consequences of pissing off an larger group of players.
This has been an ongoing complaint by the community for many months now. Time for HTC to DO SOMETHING. Anything! Just do something!
My 2 cents.
