Smh. Who has time to do this hall monitor shet?
I've always wondered this as well. I've seen posts here of people that literally sit and scroll through the vaults to find people to report. To each their own I guess... I have never seen the need to report anyone for anything and I've been playing online games since online games started. I guess some people get enjoyment out of being that guy. We have a couple guys like that at work and nobody wants anything to do with them. What ever happened to not being a rat... it's these younger generations, everybody wants to report everything. It would make me feel like a little girl reporting people for their inappropriate PSN i.d.
This isn't like the OP is saying the person he wants to report was messages him with mean words. Racism of any type is unacceptable. I'll be that rat, or guy, any time that calls out a racist. This is the late 90s and early 2000s anymore. Hate based of race, religion etc is absurd. People should be better than that, and people who think standing up to it makes someone a rat are just dinosaurs. Also I have a little girl, your comparison makes no sense. You're just also showing besides allowing casual racism, you also are sexist. Unfortunately there are so many sexist and racist people unafraid online that you'll probably have people backing you up. I'll get chirped for being soft, or whatever slur is thrown my way,for thinking any type of racism, or the like, is bad.

It is the same principal of cancel culture. Those who scream for others to be canceled are typically unsuccessful and "taking someone down" is their only sense of accomplishment in their otherwise insignificant, non descript, easily forgotten "existence" . Those same people spend their time not doing all the things that previous generations did yet have no value as people and contribute nothing to society. "It's called being a good person" but they are useless and not good people. People half my age who have daily tummy aches and physical ailments are who I mean, they are the typical ones I am referring to. "Drink milk and eat vegetables" , " no I don't like it, veggies have a weird crunch". Apparently their teeth are as soft as their hearts and souls.

Soft. Not my business what other people do online and to reiterate my little girl comment... little girls are typically soft and being a rat is soft imo. I don't support racism or sexism, but I also don't run around the internet trying play keyboard police because it's not the way I live. The racism in this world is very sad... but there are also people that take the racism card way too far. I believe in equality and don't believe any race should get special accommodations or privileges, because that is not what equality means. I'm not trying to have a racism debate here... but want to point out there is a big difference between not being a soft little rat and actually supporting racism and sexism.

Look it is not like the OP went searching for a player to report. He was matched up against him. In that instance and if I was sure that the name was intended to be vulgar or racist then I would probably report it. And believe me when I say I am probably older than everyone in this thread and grew up at a time when people weren't so easily offended.
I personally don't get easily offended at all but I do get immensely tired of people who use the anonymity of the internet as an excuse for unacceptable behavior and as a way to avoid taking responsibility for that unacceptable behavior.

He isn't, but he is very determined to make sure it gets reported. Like I said... that's just not how I live. The same thing with internet anonymity of the internet goes for reporting. I would be ashamed if i did that at work or called the police on a neighbor. If someone said something you didn't like at work do you run to report them there too... I never would, I would deal with it myself directly. Running to report anybody for anything that isn't hurting you or your family is soft and nothing will change my opinion of that, I'm not a rat and don't like being around them either. The people that brag here about reporting stuff are special kinds of people and are either often bullied or just social misfits... maybe homeschooled kids?

Let's face facts though because the vast, overwhelming majority of the bad behavior that people get away with on the internet because of anonymity they would never say or do in real life.
They aren't going out in public wearing the same offensive logo on their shirt that they try to get away with as a logo in the game. They could never get away with naming their softball team what they try and name their teams in this game. They wouldn't talk to people like they talk to them on internet forums or on PSN messaging. Why, because they would not be anonymous and there would be ramifications.
In the end I am always going to have far more contempt for the anonymous internet user who thinks it is clever or edgy to have a racist name than I will ever have for the person that reports that racist name. But if you want to simplify it to "don't be a rat" then that is fine too.

I agree.... my team is the Boston Monsters with fluorescent green and black with a goofy monster on it. I would never wear that in public, but it's a cool DD outfit. I never said I support the racist over the reporter... to me both are cowardly and childish. I don't support either.

Ok, I just tried to see if I can pull them up to report them another way and the ID won't come up anymore.
So that means either it was deleted or he was banned.
Now, I'm not trying to start a thread war here; buy to those that called me 'soft' and a 'rat', let me ask you this.
You're playing this game with your child sitting beside you. You come across a player with a PSN ID that reads xN--------RxKn1f3x (now the hypens are replaced with them strategically replacing an I with a 1, a G with a 6, and an E with a 3; so they KNEW what they were attempting was wrong). Then that same person has a team name that begins with the letter P and ends with the letters YS and is referring to part of a house and a primate.
Would you report them?

I never called you specifically a rat or soft. I generalized all people who report others. I even made sure to include those that have made threads here basically bragging they are looking through logo vaults for innapropiate logos to report. I just don't agree with reporting people who make innapropiate logos or team names.
To answer your question... No I wouldn't report them if my child seen it. If your child is still an age where they shouldnt see innapropiate things yet... they shouldnt be playing around on the internet. I have a son and he wasn't allowed to play on the internet in any way until he was at an age that I felt he didn't need to be shielded from innapropiate content. I also definitely wouldn't have taught him the right way to handle it would be to try and contact PSN to report it. I taught my son when it was necessary to report something in life when it was just being a tattle tale.

Ok. I apologize for saying that what you said was directed towards me.
And what if I told you my kid was black?
What would you have done that's 'better' than reporting it to Sony?
Of course, since I cant pull up that PSN ID anymore, someone else must've have thought it was worth reporting.

What does black, white, green have to do with it? Like I said above... I wouldn't be in this situation because I have a son and he wasn't allowed to interact on the internet until he was at an age he could handle what he saw. If you are worried about your child seeing something like that on the internet, you shouldn't be putting him in that situation. Would you bring him around a bunch of bikers and then be upset they were swearing around him? I just didn't put my child in situations I couldn't control what he saw or heard until he was old enough to understand it.
