I realise that f**ktards online and trolling have existed since the internet began, but it still saddens me that 2 people think it's funny to make accounts like that, and that at least 2 or 3 other people thought it was okay to play with them, including Fiesty Fairy who if she had any decency would have found someone else to play with.

" It's a lot like Family Guy: Idiots think it's funny because it's mildly offensive. "
Are you making fun of Family Guy? You sir have no sense of humor if you think that. "
I do have a sense of humour, I'm just not an idiot as well. I was flicking through the channels the other night and I caught a Family Guy cut away gag:
At first I just looked at the picture, and it looked like you were trying to say that Modern Warfare 2 was the problem with Xbox Live. Everyone is playing that game!
File a complaint through the built in system and they'll be forced to change it... problem solved.
This. You'd be surprised how well it works. "
I was playing once with a guy, and his name was something like I_HATE_N****S, I added him as a friend and filed complaint to see what happened, He changed it to something equally racist, so I filed complaint, again he appeared with another racist name. This happened 4 or 5 times total over the course of a week or two. So yes it works. Except these guys keep going till the account gets removed and then go back to playing on the account that's 5yrs old with thousands of G's. "
Then someone else will report him and when he inevitably is forced to change it again. I think it's commendable that you're bothered by it, but it's not exactly your place to police Xbox Live nor is something that should prevent you from enjoying your time on live. The system in place works, just let it run it's course. :)

What's the problem? Some people having 'humorous' GTs that are in poor taste?
As for 'finding better people to play with' you don't always chose who you play with - and I don't know about you but I'm not gonna quit out a game cause someone has a stupid or possibly 'offensive' GT.
@C0V3RT: It's the problem with the internet as a whole, unless you do something seriously bad nobody is accountable for their actions. People worry about governments taking away our online freedom, censorship, all kinds of nonsense, but the sooner they start making the people who spoil it for the others accountable the better in my book.
More of a maturity issue then a problem with Xbox Live. File a complaint through the built in system and they'll be forced to change it... problem solved.
