Hey everyone,

This is an idea I had based on my experiences with online multiplayer games.  I have found that some online MPers use a significant amount of profanity when chatting in a multiplayer game.  I was thinking it would be cool if RTP could have a profile option where you can specify your level of tolerance for "adult" language, so that you wouldn't get paired with players that habitually use profanity.  I've found that use of profanity isn't specific to any one kind of player mentality; some people just curse a lot regardless of their disposition.  It also isn't age-specific, so none of the current preferences in RTP really cover this issue directly.

Since RTP covers non-Stardock games as well, this would be especially helpful for games that have a wide age range.  Maybe have three tolerance options:  "No profanity," "mild profanity," and "strong profanity."  This way people of any persuasion can find the perfect gaming partners.  I personally find it annoying when I buy a T-rated game, only to find that the multiplayer community is completely overrun with players using "M-rated" language.  On the other hand, I know that some people don't mind this at all, so I think having a profile preference for this would be highly beneficial.

Anyway, it's just an idea, but since RTP is geared towards helping people find truly like-minded gamers, I think it's definitely worth consideration.
