PlayStation Home director: behave or get banned
Much like every other online community, PlayStation Home is expected to be populated with not-so-kid-friendly users. Anyone caught abusing the Home service can have their machines banned and disabled from being used online, warns Home director Peter Edward.
To avoid having too many strict rules, different age groups will be grouped together. While Sony wants the environment to be safe, Edward said, “A large proportion of our demographic is over 18 so we will make a point of catering to that demographic.” Better throw away your dreams of hot adult chat though, because we doubt those will be allowed.
If you cross the lines, you better watch out. Edward added, “Ultimately we know a user’s details, we know machine details and we know where they live.” Behaving doesn’t seem to be a difficulty, and Sony expects users to police themselves.
Inevitable victims of abuse can get help from the folks running Home. Those guilty of misbehaving can get their consoles disconnected so they’ll have to move houses and buy a new PS3 if they want to get online again, continued Edward.
