Fappers Should be Minimized with H3 and the 360

This LINK is an article from The Escapist that talks about the morons that Live gaming has to deal with. It also spells out how the four zones of gaming that the 360 has should make our gaming more enjoyable when H3 comes out. Because we will play with Recreational gamers and the 'Underground' players will have their world of fapping. We could test ourselves in the "Famliy" zone but I think staying in Recreational is a good idea until proven differently.
What do you think?

I think Bungie needs to make a simple, one-button option for turning off the opposing teams voices. One push that lasts all night for every team I play (or better yet, indefinitely, until I choose to turn it off). It's way too time consuming to mute voices on H2. I'm happy to play against anybody (that doesn't cheat), just give me the choice of muting their voices.

I well know that H2 is by far and away the biggest game on live, but it seems to have more than its share of unsavory players. I have played many live match made games of BF2MC, Burnout, and PGR3 and there is a noticeable lack of “Fappers.” Not sure if this is because of the gamer zones and 360 feedback system, or the fact that most 360 are in the hands of serious gamers and not hordes of over-caffeinated, unattended and hormonally-confused middle schoolers

Excellent idea on the mute feature Free. I think the H3 playlist might offer a honeymoon stage where serious gamers will be on more than the...see Tims description above...fappers.
Time you make a great point and I do think that the 'zones' do help. I haven't played a game of GRAW or Top Spin 2 etc...where someone is singing, screaming or being too nasty. I like the fun trash talking(ie Sharkie). Team play is the best.

I agree, a little competitive jabbing makes the games fun. Once H3 is out, you will be able to use the feedback system. Hopefully that will make the difference.
