My point is, that when people misuse the system ( or use it for reasons that don't warrant reporting )....then it makes a system that is great in theory ( but terrible in reality ) even less useful. And if you/he don't believe in God, what was so offensive? That would be like me saying, "I think the Browns were one of the worst Franchises in NFL history....let me file a complaint against PSCG Cleveland". I'd have no right...and it would just flood this useless system with more information that they already can't handle.
I'm not saying it couldn't be offensive to someone, but when you come out and say that you reported him becuase of his tag....and then say, I did it even though I don't believe in God - then that's just an abuse of the system. Do I think it's a stupid, ridiculous Tag - yup. Would I bother reporting it - probably not. But I'm just saying that if they truly are offense ( in name or by voice or messages ) then report the Hell out of them. But to report people for being stupid in their choice of name is garbage. If we were to start doing that all the time, I'd be filing complaints daily against people who use "leet speak" in their tags....or the people who feel the need to slap their Clan Tag in front of their name....or the guys who want to impress people with putting "MLG" in front. This would be a mess.....
Take that person who decides to peg you as a racist or even just a quitter when you trounced him fair and square in a game of Madden or Call of Duty. Just because you bested them, they feel like they have to retaliate. It is wrong, but if M$ really did pay as much attention as you wanted them to - more good people would be out of luck than bad I think. God forbid you even get one more kill than someone....you'd be gone. That would be a shame.
And do you honestly think that MS doesn't do anything? They certainly do...just too little and way too late - and they DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY IMPOSE ON PEOPLE. Here's the prime example:
I've had Live! since day one ( actually, since Beta )...and so have a few long time, RL friends of mine. One of them has had the Gamer Tag "Pimpin Ho Sale" since we first made our tags. He had it for 3 years straight, and then M$ suspended him until he changed it. He changed it, on the phone with a Rep from M$, to "PimpinHoSale1". Then, just back around April ( another year later ) - they got him again.....and he changed it once more. Wanna take a guess as to what they manually changed it to FOR HIM? Yup: "PimpinHoSale3".

__._,_.___The reporting system basically sucks and doesn't do that much
anyways, so it doesn't matter which it was - it was out of hand
and he reported it.
And I've played CoD3 just fine, pegging smart-assed 10 yr olds in
the head while filing reports for Glitch Bitches and more at the
same time. Doesn't take that much effort. The gamertag is rather
ignorant just for openers, so if enough people peg it maybe MS
will get up off their asses and do something. I'd believe tornadoes
in Chicago will happen long before MS does anything, so we'll be
waiting a long time.
Wait a sec, why are my feet so freaking cold all of a sudden? <G>--
