"10 tips for dealing with griefers

1. Ignore them. If your child doesn't react to them, most griefers will eventually get bored and go away.

2. Change game options. Have your kids play games with changeable rules or options that prevent certain griefer tactics, such as eliminating teammates.

3. Create a private game. Most newer, multiplayer video games and related sites allow players to form their own exclusive games that permit only their friends to play.

4. Play on sites with strict rules. Play on game sites with enforceable codes of conduct or terms of service and live game administrators who can ban serial griefers.

5. Do something else. If a griefer won't stop bothering your child, have them try a different game, or take a break and come back later.

6. Report game glitches. Work with your child to identify exploitable glitches in the game or new methods of cheating. Report these to the game site administrator.

7. Play games that limit griefers. Suggest playing newer games that provide specific resources for dealing with griefers, such as reporting offenders to game administrators, message blocking or muting, and being able to vote griefers off.

8. Don't fight fire with fire. Make sure your child isn't using griefers' own tactics against them, as this will likely encourage more bad behavior, or worse, label your child as a griefer.

9. Avoid using provocative names. Preempt any problems by having your child avoid screen names or nicknames (often referred to as gamertags) that could encourage griefer behavior.

10. Don't give out personal information. Griefers (or anyone else) can use real names, phone numbers, and home or e-mail addresses, to further harass your child or cause other problems."

Did MS decide to employ Snipey or something?

No no, Snipey is a "noob spammer." Can you use this handy guide to translate that sentence?

 ::wall:: poor parents, they get treated like they're stupid...

And why exactly are you on their side?

as far as I'm concerned parents are stupid... but this is coming from a teenager ::)

I'm on their side because they paid the majority of the cost on this $4700 (CDN) computer that is continuing to rise in value with the upgrades I get as xmas pass.

Everybody thinks parents, and adults in general, are stupid...when they are children, and especially teenagers.  But then when you become a parent...damn you realize how fucking stupid you were as a teenager.[/size]
