We constantly see a stream of topics regarding harassment on xbox live on the forums.
Trixie, Diva and myself sat down with Kenneth Musante from Adotas.com to talk about our experiences and what our hopes are for the future of Xbox Live!

Read the article here:

I love it.  It's about time somebody made it national.  Big props to Kitty, Diva and Trixie.  We have all had to deal with the harassment and trash talk on XBL, but now maybe things will get better.

Just the other day I got on to play COD4 for about an hour and low and behold I get into a room with a bunch of mean people. Once the found out I was girl it was like open season for insults or just rude questions. I actually think some of them were minors but even so I wish that some of the parents whos children act this way would stop using the Xbox 360 or any console for that matter as a babysitting device. Maybe there is away that xbox can restrict the voice communication for those that are minors and are technically not responsible for thier own actions, that is just a thought. As for the adults who act in the same manner I have no idea what to suggest for that one.

wow, so cool to hear you guys go through the same thing as me. I get on daily and atleast once someone will make a suggestion of the group "killing the Chick in here" or just spawn kill me the whole entire time. However, ive realized not to venture too far from my male friends ( I have tons, and boy are they loyal). They will either gang up on him/them, or just kick em from the game (GTA4). I however try to make friends with as many girls as I meet online as possible (only once has one repeatedly attacked me), unfortunately we dont all like the same games at the same time. Its harder for us to connect and maybe some are jealous too. Im not, I met my man on XBOX so Im no threat.
Hopefully that works out too! Could be a story for XBOX, 2 people, 2 continents and 1 XBOXLIVE!

It's good to see that somebody cares about all the harassment we go thru. Unfortunately and as mentioned before it seems like reporting a gamer does not work. They still play and they still harass us. It's sad.

Its about time that something like this has been looked at and brought into light. All I play is private games with people that I trust, because I know that I will get a good gaming experience. I have women on my friends list that have decided to join as well due to the fact that they wont get harassed on a consistant basis. Its up to all of us to try to make an effort to move forward and keep games what they are supposed to be. Fun

Can't access the link. =/

I can relate to harrassment on live. A few people were asking me for nude pictures and talking about sexual crap when they found out I was a girl in a room on Halo 3. I was playing with some friends at the time, whom are males also and they were shocked. It really needs to stop. People who speak that garbage should be banned and not allowed to use the service. I've also been sent revealing pictures by males in the past and asked to strip on the damn live camera.

It's absolutely disgusting and needs to be stopped!

Even some of my friends that play get harassed cause they're female. Being male or female doesn't change how good you are at games. I strongly approve of what Gamerchix is doing. If enough people say something, then maybe Microsoft will listen and crack down on people.

Great! It was such a problem i had, listening to all these jerks and now i basically private chat with who im playing with so i dont have to hear the trash that gets spoken. On one hand, that hinders communication with the rest of the team, but i let the skills do the speaking. Too many teens that talk ish on live, but thank god for the mute...

Hey yall got my vote on that the trash talkers dont just affect the girls. They are a scurge on everyone who isnt a trashtalker. Its quite annoying when i have to hear someone calling someone Just spewing racism out there mic. But the girls do catch alot of it have 4 girls on my friends list and they all hate playing public rooms becuz when we join as soon as all these horny little dudes hear a girls voice all you can hear is "Hey baby woo woo" and that is just a sample of some of the stuff they will say its just ridiculous. Just because you hear a girl doesnt mean you can try to holler at her over the internet like shes gonna be like oohh whats your name and number because you said she sounds hot??? but I guess until xbox themselves does something there isnt much we can do. So here's for hoping ladies and anyone else who hates trashtalkers im just glad to see someone being active about it.
