Like it or not guys, these ladies are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with. I've been playing with the Dominating Diva's for over 4 yrs and I can tell you from experience that besides being some of the most talented gamers out there (FeistyFox in particular will leave you staring blankly at the screen wondering what the hell just happened ... lol), but they are also bring a few things to the game that has been lacking as of late. Things like comradery, and integrity, and real friendship. There is no better breath of fresh air than an evening of gaming with 6 or 8 people that are there to have fun. That's what they are there for ... the fun. If they win they win and if they lose they lose, but they ALWAYS make it a good time. Once again ... great interview. I was linked to this interview on my own gamers site by a man named Snoops. Snoops happens to be married to the leader of the Dominating Diva's, Chickette. These folks are some of my closest friends, and now they've made me a fan of Deacon and the Unscripted 360 site. Congratulations Deacon on taking on a topic that many have either ignored or actively tried to squash in the past.

I never hear girls ask guys these questions so why is it that it never fails that guys are asking innappropriate questions of the girls in the community?" GhostRider: Society has for many years had the male as the person who "makes the approach" to women. Women have always been on the "why hasnt he come over here and asked me out" side of things. So society has trained males to be the "hunters". Now I agree that there are appropriate times to ask these types of questions, but we men are taught this throughout our lives. Haven't you ever heard of the saying "Nice guys finish last", well it's true, try being a sweet person all the time, always being the perfect gentlemen and you WILL BE A LONELY ONE. I know this from experience.. “also don’t think it’s appropriate for guys to bother girls with questions like

I guess excess is relative but my point is certainly that I would like to be able to see if others have made comments about the bad behavior of users who are excessive. Does this make sense?

There are those who might not care if a person has been reported as vulgar or that they have sexually harassed someone but I would like to know. The number of offenses is also key in that a single offense might indicated a misunderstanding but multiple offenses are usually indicative of a trouble-maker. This would really help people decide with whom they play. I think the "cooling off" period is a good idea to also validate the situation. I would also go so far as to suggest that the true-match system take into account the desires of each gamer. If I don't want to play with people who use foul language I should be able to have some kind of selection that filters based on other users feedback.

I'm thinking Halo 2 here... this would not be given by just anyone). If I get a FR, then I could look at the gamertag and see that say there are 4 instances of complaints of racism, for example, then decide whether I want them as a friend or not. In order to keep it from being misused i would impose a 'cooling off' period between the complaint being made and it being recorded. I make a complaint, the person gets notified that a complaint was made, then a week later I get another message asking whether I stand by the complaint. If it was bad enough I will remember the person and stand by the complaint, if I was just mad at the time (or i was one of those morons giving bad feedback just for the sake of it) I have the ability to take it back. That way we as users can discourage certain types of behaviour on XBL... rather than policing it, we decide for ourselves the type of people we want to mix with.
