Poll: How do you feel about younger gamers?

[Insideout Ink Demon]

how about a 2 tier system of online play, everyone starts in the same tier until they get so many complaints for being annoying sh*ts.
once they get so many complaints, they're knocked down to tier 2 for a certain amount of time to play with the other annoying sh*ts, the 2 tiers can't interact

Aslong as you ACT mature, age shouldnt come into it
People should be banned because of their behaviour, not because of their age

Of course they shouldn't be banned.

What should be banned is making threads about whether players under age X shouldn't be allowed to play online, as we see one of these on a weekly basis =).

Hey escapists, I'm 13 and would like to know how you feel about gamers my age playing online, say at Blops?

I play online fairly often, with a mic, and there's a lot of hate that I get when i mention my age online?
I try not to be a douche bag, often being a team player, and my voice has cracked so its not like im some high pitched whiner, but I still get a lot of hate when I mention I am thirteen, just wondering what your thoughts are on the matter, and if it's justified, I do know a lot of kids like me are annoying as fuck though, so i can sorta see where a lot of people are coming from, its still stereotyping though, which I am strongly against.

As someone who generally sits on the fence during meaningless verbal brawls between various online badasses and internet hard cunts, it does seem to be the younger ones that break the one golden rule:

Don't be a dick.

However not all of them do it, and they aren't the only ones that do it.

If arbitrarily designated groups of people were to be banned from online play because a sizeable minority of those groups are PRICKS, I think there would be no-one left to play at all. So, no.

Oh god, now I feel so old... And I just turned 20 two months ago...

But no, kids shouldn't be banned from online play. Annoying people should be banned from online play, no matter their age. It's just that simple.

Actually maybe games should come with a test if your voice is above a certain pitch, you get blocked XD
And if you act like a dick you get shot with a crossbow!
ALL CONSOLES MUST NOW CONTAIN CROSSBOWS!

But, females have a higher pitched voice than men.
Some men's voice boxes don't break.

But, with a fix to those problems... You have a winner!
