First of all, posting gamer tags on the forums is against the rules, so I suggest you remove that. Second of all, as a gamer yourself you should know about these type of people being in an online game. So if anything you are foolish for letting your daughter giving away information like her age and for not knowing about these kind of people. I'm also 15 but I know about these people so I try to avoid them, but there isn't way to avoid them other than parents controlls which I don't feel like putting on my Xbox for obvious reasons.

  • I will copy and paste the same reply I have given to everyone in regards to the name sharing at the end of this. I am well aware of the risks involved and I have since made appropriate changes on the profile settings. I never said anything about revealing her age on Xbox at all, so I'm not sure where you are getting that from. I would be just as out raged if he had said it to my wife. It just seems more sickening that he made such comments to under age kids, such as yourself. Then as a 15 year old gamer I suppose you should also know it is impossible to avoid everyone on Xbox or PlayStation when you are playing a multiplayer game, so again, your point is invalid. Thank you for the heads up, seriously; but if I'm going to get banned for sharing this loser's name because I want to warn those that may come in contact with him, then this is not a game I will continue playing. As long as his account is banned, they can do what they want with mine.

  • And they wouldn't just ban somebody for sending a hate message, if they did that then I'm sure over half of the Xbox and play station community would be banned.

  • Noticed two things, one you said how your daughter never revealed her name, so the guy who sent those messages didn't know her age, doesn't make it right but it's not like the person knew. And there is indeed many ways to avoid people, blocking, muting, settings, or just playing and taking to your friends. If I get hate messages (and I usually don't) I ignore it because it's usually lies, and that's why I don't get offended.

  • I am not responding to any future posts from you because I am not here to argue with anyone. When you are older and have children you will see things in a different light. Re read my last statements then re read your questions/statements to me and you will see I've already answered most of your points; so I will not go into detail again. I told you I would have been just as out raged if the comment was made to my wife, so age is not the sole problem. If people were reported for every stupid and hateful thing they were to say in a game, the list of complaints would never end. But, I have NEVER had ANYONE ever tell me to get on their junk. Do you want to play a game with someone like that? Would you want your friends or younger sibling exposed to that kind of talk? There is absolutely no rhyme or reason behind that, whatsoever. ESPECIALLY (not solely) when said to underage children. It does not matter if he knew or not. We as gamers do not need people like him giving the rest of us a bad reputation for that garbage or spreading that within the community. If you cannot show a smidge of decency to other gamers, you have the wrong hobby. I could go on and on, but I will keep my promise. Feel free to reply, but as I said, I will not comment further to you or anyone that is just here to argue. There are plenty of other posts for that.
