Option to Block Children from Personal Queue

I want to preface this with, I LOVE kids!

Here's the thing though I want to be able to play with adults and have adult conversations. Maybe enjoy a few drinks for adults. Not hear some kid crying on the mic and screaming obnoxiously.

I play mostly Teen plus games but am stil ending up with kids age 7. I hate that parents are not protecting their children. So many times I get friend requests from the kids before we even start the match before any words are exchanged. They're playing adult
content games and think that it is okay. This is not okay and not safe. Makes me wonder if the parent even cares about the kid. I get maybe you let them play with you as a parent. But definitely not unsupervised on mic with full access.

As a female gamer I've heard it all and experienced many great things but also not so great things. I've been harrased a lot. Please protect your kids.

Here's the other issue many of us respectable adults face we now may feel like we have to watch our language our words. And it becomes less comfortable to be on mic. We have to watch what we say. I now spend most of my time in a party alone just to be off
of mic because of this increasing problem. I don't want to be responsible for saying something you probably don't want your kid hearing. I also don't want to be your kids baby sitter for next x amount of time. I want to relax and be with the adults. This is
why I really think there should be an option to mark your account to not be able to be queued with kids. And report accounts that have been found to be driven behind the mic of a minor to sort them out. Give the adult gamers a chance to be the more responsible
adult than the oblivious parent. And also create a more casual adult environment. Heck I would not mind an age verification process for my account just to have it separate from the kids in place of reporting.

Again I love kids but it would be nice to play with my age group and not a bunch of minors. When the age rating should have already sorted us out.

Block apps to children?

What's so bad about the app?

 

Block apps to children?

Interesting. I'll have to investigate this later tonight when I get home. If no one answers by then I'll make sure I do.

 

It's a good idea, probably best posted on the feedback site though!

Actually the service warns regarding this issue. The responsibility falls upon the parents to observe and follow their children regarding online activities

 

Oh man do I wish there was some sort of filter for selecting an age range you'd prefer to play with. Then again tho, what would stop kids from trolling the adult bracket, and vice versa?

 

Well, this is totally on the parents, and about being comfortable while in a party, we've all were kids and we all felt like we wanted to be part of that cool adult community, which is why you encounter kids behaving badly or in
a weird way.

 

I wish there was a filter. I get real tired of abusive messages after playing FIFA. Hit that Uservoice!

 

I hear you on this and agree with most of it. Sadly this falls upon the parents and as one with an 11-year-old who plays games on both the Xbox and PlayStation and I make sure I know what is going on. Best I can tell you is to mute the mic of someone doing
it.
