Parental Controls - Using Kinect

Hey All,

I was looking over the parental controls and thought of a way to make them a little more configurable for parents that want to enforce some stricter rules for their children.

The idea would be to have a set of options in the parental control setting page to have the Xbox Ones Kinect listen for the most common swear words (localized to your area + some extra common ones non specific to localization).

The second part of the configuration should be once the swear word is detected a punishment should be set. Be it not allowing Xbox Live/turning of the console for X amount of time. This feature set could even be extended onto Xbox live itself with willing
players turning on the feature to gain extra rewards for not swearing during on-line play (Maybe double chevo points if swear free for X period of time). Breaking the agreement by swearing during on-line play should disable XBL for X minutes and disable the
bonus for X days.

Since this feature set would be on a opt in basis it could make a great addition to the overall parental control settings as well as maybe help clean up XBL a little.

Regards,

For your Mac, are you using the built in Parental Control?

 

Players should not be rewarded for not swearing,but i do think they should be punished for doing so,if excessive.

-

There were many reports of microsoft threatening bans for those that swear on uploaded gameplay on the xbox one.

Not sure if they actually banned anyone though.

 

I find that punishment with no incentive is a major turn off for player especially with an opt in feature as suggested above. But for the parental controls sections I agree it should be straight punishment to teach them it is not acceptable to swear on-line.

 

Talk about intrusive. I dont think this should be an option at all. Not one bit, not now or ever

 

Why don't parents punish their kids for swearing as opposed to the Xbox?

 

Parents seem to want to enforce some kind of rules, but are usually not around when the rule breaking happens. This would give them the option to have the Xbox enforce the rules for them letting their kids know if my parents are not around I still get punished
for bad things I do. And again to everyone that feels that this feature for all XBL players is intrusive I want to iterate that it would not be mandatory same with the parental controls, just another outlet to use the Kinect in a constructive and creative
way.

Also just to clarify I swear a lot when playing XBL and I do not have kids. But I would be more then willing to run a feature like this on my system if it existed for the sheer reason I'm trying to improve how I interact with others on-line.
