As long as this "feature" can be turned off and on. I don't like this kind of automatic censoring, being able to block voice from individual players should be enough for everyone.

i would love this as an option to turn on or off.....ike beeps for a radio edit

This is great. People shouldn't have to go through the trouble of muting people if they are using expletives. This is great for a number of uses.

Yea let's all support censorship.

My question is why should those who are of good character have to be blocked because of the bad character of others. This is what we should really crack down on. Underrage kids playing the game in the first place which I'm sure quite a few of yall already fit into. And of course human behavior in the beginning. An ethical and virtuous parent will raise an ethical and virtuous child. That is the real problem. Censorship is a bad solution to that problem.

as long as the user has the option to turn this on or off i'm for anything that provides more functionality. and let's face it...no one likes that kid with the potty mouth.

 

sometimes they can be quite amusing

Oh really? NSFW maybe:

 


That's not a kid, I think he's in his 30s, he has some sort of disease that makes him look young.

Actually, there is absolutely no problem if it has the ability to be toggled.  Hear it if you want, don't if you don't.

Maybe others are willing to be so easily censored but I will not.  I fight for my rights in every form.  It always starts with the smallest of things until eventually we get to Farenheight 451.

LOL.  You think there will be function creep in this?  Hell, I don't even think you can go around cussing in public.  Decency laws or something?
