I'm tired of playing or having to deal with kids on XBL.  There should be an option to restrict the age group of the people we want to play on XBL.  I just want the option to choose the age group and not deal or play with kids and for those adults who have kids the option to restrict your kids from playing with or annoying other adults. What do you guys think?

It sounds good to me, but I am sure some kid will lie about their age. Also I am sure that MS will not do this thought, but it would be nice. Also some problems come from load mouth adults to. Generally it has ruined the live experience for me. I do not want to hear about man parts or about how this guy is gay or what not. I also do not wanna hear a squeaky voice kid yelling either, or throwing a fit because he got killed. Because of this stuff, I generally only play with people I know.

FPS are no problem, but sport games that are one on one first thing they'll do is leave bad-rep and no shoot up the hole game, and if they are loosing is disconect to avoid loosing.

if you are an adult you should be able to validate your account with a credit card or after enough complaints MS suspend the account until they can prove is an adult who owns it and if parents should be able to create accounts for their kids restricting them from playing with adults.

I was playing some kid online in MLB 2K7 online and I was beating this kid in the first innings had a couple runs on him. He would pause the games every time he pitched the ball, then un pause it. He keep doing this, really poor sport. Another kid I played I no Hit him and he left a bad rep on me. So I stoped playing with kids all together.

I know some younger kids who put in fake ages, and more would do it if this option was implemented. You'd get all the annoying kids putting in their fake age and all the good kids that you wouldn't mind gaming with would be honest with their age.

also, u said annoying adults, how would that work if its an age group thing.
also, unless a kid is doing something annoying (tk'ing, or screaming or whatev.) im not gonna make fun of him cuz he hasn't reached puberty yet, thats something he cant choose. also, he didnt choose when to be born. lighten up, im sure u were a kid once too.

I'm sorry...but pretty much everyone I play with on Live is a jerk. At least everyone who talks.

I really don't play multiplayer much anymore. Just with friends every couple weeks.
