Censorship Issues Raised in PlayStation Home Beta

I'm a bit confused. Xbox live, have you been on there lately? Wat rubbish spews out of the mouths in a halo game. Censorship? Whatzz that???

Battlefield Heroes - Halo 4
Tel Domains - Home Security

I would like there to be some kind of censorship on the chat, but I'd prefer it to be volntary. I normally don't mind it, but there are times I'd like to avoid having my sexuality (or someone else nearby) questioned repeatedly while playing chess, or have my text box filled with random crap like that while I'm trying to type to someone.  However, theres not much you can do about the real problem, the voice chat. 

I hear so many hooting assholes on Home that I think I'm playing on XBL.

It's the **** Van **** show!

Starring **** Van ****!

Lesson learned: being gay is absolutely disgusting, and christians and jews should be banned.

Thanks Sony.

On a more serious note, I think the fact that by the age of eleven, a vast majority of kids know every "word". At least my dad had the common sense decency to tell me all the words when I was 10 and tell me why not to say them in school.

And if we want to go on the religious standard of what words can and can not be said, I say we use the Bible and Torah as standards. If the word is in there, its okay.

So feel free to say ass, damn, hell, and depending on what version of the bible you look at, bitch.

I've always hated filters like that.

Its like you can't even say "How do you do?" without asteriks covering the first two letters, which is totally counter productive because then it instantly looks like you're trying to offend someone.

****o, ** do you do?

Wait, people still care about Home?  I thought Beta had killed all interest...

Anyway, they'll work out the kinks.  Although, I can understand why they'd originally censor the word "gay."  It's the favorite insult of the under-15 crowd, who invariably ruin anything with chat options.  Generalization, of course.  Not that it's right to bleep out the word, but I just understand.

Hopefully the filter can be turned off. Bad filters are a pain in the ass, but mandatory ones are absolutely atrocious because you never know what seemingly innocent word it will choke on. I've seen filters (in Phantasy Star Online, for the curious) that wouldn't let you say things like "toss me some shoes on Saturday" ("toss" is British slang for masturbation, "shoes" has <i>hoes</i> and "Saturday" has <i>turd</i>). But you could call someone a sloppy cunt without the filter raising a peep.

Man... all three people whom Home is relevant to are gonna be upset when they read this.

That will piss more than a couple people off...
