Yeah we all knew that this was coming. If Destiny is what we think it is then the City is going to be a great place for friend to meet and to show off your armor. It's also going to be a place where creepers roam. We have all be in a match where a girl with a mic come into the game and there are one or two guys that start creeping on her. NO ONE wants to see this in Destiny. So you creepers out there here is a short list of dos and donts.
[b]Dont[/b]
Creep on female players
Send female players your personal info if they don't ask for it
follow female players around if they don't know who you are
spam message female players
make stupid sex jokes
hit on them to the point that it's creepy
[b]Do[/b]
Be respectful of them
treat them like you would treat any other player
be friendly to them

Yeah that would nice, but if it won't happen in real life it will never happen online

AWFUL funny the guy posting about gaming ethics and shit is the one telling DeeJ whee he should put is post in the forum!!!!!!!!.............. You should be the last to speak about gaming ethics

1:This is what the abuse reporting system is for, this is redundant. 2: People will be jerks no matter what. The people who creep on women in video games are going to be the ones that creep on them in real life. 3: Your laying out guidelines for if you encounter a female in a video game. This is like laying out guidelines for if you are visiting the white house and encounter Jo Biden riding a quadricorn that eats money and craps rainbows.

Couldn't of said it better bro, you truly are a guardian of the city see you on the battlefield

To summarize, use the head between your shoulders and not the one between your legs Players of any gender should be courteous towards their fellow players. But, since there are going to be some rotten apples out there use the mute button, ignore the vile they spew and move on to greener lobbies/servers.

Sexist guy is sexist. Girls and guys should be treated the same online. No need to white knight anyone.
-
Every [i]real[/i] gamer knows that the female is simply a figment of the male's imagination.

Hey girl, If I were a watermelon... Would you spit out my seed, or would you swallow it. Works all the time

Edited by Mycroft: 10/23/2013 1:56:46 AMI just plan to treat them like everyone else I meet and shoot them in the face.

Sometimes I look through this thread to cheer me up.

Edited by Jim the Admin: 10/23/2013 12:32:06 AMGood lord, this topic is still going? I though we already agreed we were going to objectify and treat women however we wanted yesterday?
-
They have a problem like that in all games once I saw one of my friends being followed by this super creepy person in Halo
-
How about this: If you respected your sister and treated her with dignity, then treat any girl like your sister If you don't treat your sister like a gentleman, then do it, then repeat the step above.
-
Do you honestly believe this company will end up taking these suggestions seriously?
-
do naked pictures count as personal info?
-
If you're a girl and I'm assuming you are based on the article then you are probably going to have trolls find you in game and creep you just because of this.
-
Lolno.
-
But how can I get them to do me?
-
Pointless. Either your asking for likes or bringing attention to yourself. The people whom you speak of either 1. Can't even read properly. 2. Will just laugh at this and then troll on any gamer they can prey upon. The only thing your post does is bring awareness to things that everyone is very well aware of. Most of the time the same people creeping on women are the same people out making everyone's lives miserable on any game. Your just pointing out one thing out of the larger problem.

Good thread man..

Edited by KingWhovian: 10/22/2013 3:58:12 AMI don't treat girls on XBL any different than guys. Unless they act like assholes.
-
*For all players.

Edited by Spartan Ken 15: 10/18/2013 5:37:25 PMWhy should these only apply to men? Shouldn't EVERYONE follow these rules despite their sex? When you try to treat people differently because of their race, gender, etc; it isn't fair nor equal for anyone. In a way, I find this to be very sexist and discriminatory against both male and female gamers on biased stereotypes and a need for males to "defend a damsel in distress". Treat everyone fairly and with respect.

YOU DONT MAKE THE RULES BITCH YOU DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOU DONT TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE /joke

This isn't anything specific to males, nor should anyone have a separate code of ethics when gaming. Treat people the same as you would IRL. Don't think of them as nameless AI in your game, think of them like someone at a LAN party, or playing split screen with you, and act the same as if you were looking right at them. Basically, treat them how you would treat anyone else, don't use anonymity as an excuse to be a douche.

I'm a girl and it's rarely a problem. If it ever get's to be one though I just jump lobbies.
