Your post is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. People who are actually cyber bullied [on a game, [b]not[/b] a social network] normally deserve to be. When you use the Internet, you [b]always[/b] run the risk of being "cyber bullied," whether it's from a retarded post or some other piece of crap you left on Facebook. If you're being bullied on a game, then stop playing it; you can quit games, while quitting real life is a different story. No one's forcing you to play, and if people are going to argue "kids shouldn't have to quit a game because they're getting bullied," let's think for a moment: why is this person being bullied in an online game? If you look at chat logs, most verbal abuse comes from poor gameplay (though of course, there are several instances in which people are just ass holes, but they're going to "bully" others regardless of the rules), so if you ask me, it's just natural selection rooting out the bad 12 year-olds. If you're thinking about suicide because someone made fun of you online, you might as well kill yourself now. I've experienced plenty of name-calling and whatnot online, and at the end of the day it's just sticks and stones -- what's that gamer across the country going to do to you? Honestly, this current "ME" generation is full of pansies that can't even take a few words to their pride, let alone a belt whipping.

I do agree with removing abusive language as a bannable offense, but it's a shame most games enforce that crappy rule. American ESRB ratings only go to ages 17+, but for people not to give a damn, you'd have to be 18.

Depends on the game and the ESRB rating for it. Naturally LoL should be 13+ since it requires an Email, and very few Email hosting companies allow for ages below 13.
Maple when I first started playing was 13+, and it even tells you that when you started the game. Now it's "13+ but your mommy can make you an account so you can play like the big kids and wear a mask to hide your true self online".

Personally I'd like a "Direct Ignore function" that cancels out everything and anything that person says/does. For instance, it blocks the Ping and Alerts he/she sends out, but you see others, blocks all requests both in-game and out of the game. Similar to a blacklist mixed with the mute and report options into one.

Or some way of downloading the chat as a rtf file, similar to how games like Terraria and Minecraft save logs of their server, so you can go over them and get direct proof. They could also add a curse filter, that is like an AI that reads the first word before and after a supposed curse word and blocks the whole line.

Another thing is that the butthurt people of video games try to get back at the other party. It's stupid. The more butthurt you get the more they win, and if you think about it, the accuser is the one that's butthurt, since he's so *vulgar synonym for arse* about winning. It's a freaking game! Simple code. And you act all high and mighty because you have lots of numbers. You need skill, something which most MOBA players lack, since they beeline for the OPest character and start harassing people. Simple fix: counter with a rarely used character, thus proving Skill>OP characters.

Sorry if it's kinda long, I broke it down into smaller paragraphs so it's easier to skim through it than read it all like a page of a book and reply with "TL;DR".

What's so dumb about that?

That's why I suggested a mute option.
