I agree with you to a point OP. I really think some of the guys I have played with and against are a special kind of class. The only ones that I really shake my head at are the ones who out right attack other players with the words you stated. Do I think they should be banned because of their potty Hand? NO, I don't. Put a filter in place for the ones that are that immature, but this game is adult in nature and many adults with out virgin eyes play it. (OH yeah, they already have given us the option of clicking chat off. In fact, I think they made the enemy chatter defaulted to "off".) Problem solved
I had one player claim he screen shot me saying, " My Monkey touched me." and I needed to be prepared to be banned because of typing that. He claimed he was reporting me after the game. We had a player on the other team with the name, "My teacher touched me" so I typed that.
I have also seen the kind of players you are talking about, and the things that they type. As sad as it is to see some players saying and typing those things, this is a game that many adults play. Some are less mature than others, welcome to the internet and online gaming.
Its funny to me that my ex's 15 year old plays XBOX titles, and the in game chat on his games seems to have more of the kind of less than mature players that you are offended by then MWO has.
IMO, banning is not the way to handle these types.
Ever hear the phase, Kill them with kindness?
Btw.... Most of the guys that I have seen talk like that, pi$$ enough players off, they become a priority targets. Some start team killing, so they will be gone one way or another.
Out of all the games I have played in the last year and a half, I might be able to count on one hand the players that have acted this way. I have a lot of drops in the last year, and that = a pretty decent player base around here. The majority of pilots here are decent given the fact of playing a game with a well established adult base of 21+.
