The days when gamers could behave without fear of consequences are coming to an end for the XBox One.

Microsoft plans to install a ratings system based on traffic lights, with green indicating players with a good reputation, while yellow and red indicate players who have been judged anti-social by other players, because they hurled insults, for example.

Players with a yellow label get a warning. Red-labeled players might find it hard to find people willing to play with them. Worse, they might be blocked from some functions, like live streaming.
