GS Has a rule...or did have it may have been removed for all I know...but its that this is an English site...so speak/type English. Well it's probably American...but we all speak the same language.

I think that should be enforced in XBL to.

'Cause here's the thing, my cousin & a guy got in a fight & said some racist things & got banned for a week each. Fair enough. But, I was playing CoD4 earlier with a group of French players & my Tag was mentioned multiple times, however because they were speaking French I had no idea what they were saying about me. of-course I don't care if you rip me over XBL chat, but I do like to know what your saying.

For all I know you coulda been saying some incredibly nasty things & I can't report you or anything because I don't know what your saying, but after my cousin gets a ban so easy, how is it fair on us if a foreigner can speak their language & say what they like & us English speakers can't do squat because we don't know what they are saying.

Hay its the 21st century, there is such thing as equality.

america doesn't own the world....i know, its shocking...i'll give you a second to get over it..............................................................................................................................................................................................................ok so, back to the topic....by providing XBL to countries OTHER then english only countries, including france and germany, it is impossible to make it an "English" only service........seriously, if you can't understand what they are saying about you, does it really matter?

Generally I take people saying nasty things about me as a sign that I'm doing well...

as for other languages who cares... drop out and find a new match.

You can do the same thing to non-english speakers and they won't know what you're are talking about and probably won't care.

If I'm not mistaken you can at least set the search criteria in match making on social maps to your language. Not sure about ranked matches though.

What are you saying eveyone should speak English so we know what they're saying? Honestly just don't listen to them and it doesn't matter. They're thousands of languages just because you speak English doesn't mean everyone has to. America doesn't own the world, that's only what most Americans think and is why we're so hated.

Wow...everyone is taking the literal sides to what I'm saying, I'm not trying racist propaganda, that's not what I was trying at all. All I am saying is...there should be a way to separate yourself from foreigners so you don't have to sit there listening to there slur.

I love when Americans say nonsense like this, like everyone in the world needs to pander to them. Here's a different solution to the same problem: learn to speak french.

You completely contradict yourself in that post, in one paragraph you say you don't care if people rip on you on xbl and in the other you say at least say it in english so i know if it is nasty enough for you to report.

So which one is it, do you care or not care? Cause I am confused.
