Back in 2004 Microsoft applied for a patent for real-time censoring of audio streams, and now the USPTO has granted that patent.

As PC gamers have known for a long time, and Xbox gamers have known for a while, playing against other humans online is a much more enjoyable experience than beating a computer. Thanks to the advent of teamspeak, you can game with others as if they were in your living room, without having to worry about them knocking their drinks over and staining the carpet. However, the somewhat anonymous nature of the internet means you also encounter individuals who lack the sort of internal filter that prevents most of us from blurting out streams of profanity that would make Mr. Tourette blush.

I think it should be limited to racial terms, I hate it when people call me Mexican simply because I fucking speak Spanish. For some reason latin america seems to not exist for the US.

I wouldn't mind something like this, as an optional filter.

No, we just usually don't care. Online, common courtesy doesn't exist.

We will tell young children what we did with their parents, and when they say their dead, that adds a whole new level of potential hilarity to the joke.

I think high pitch beeps are better than the word themselves.
This might cause more mic lag because it has to go through a filter.

I agree with Conscars's example. The censoring will probably be a bit strict...

"Oh, hey! It's **** Rogers!"

+rep to the first guy that gets this.
