Wait, you linked an article that said the opposite of what you thought it did before you even read it? Okay...

Hell, you could have pointed at Oblivion and the boob mod to make a better point but that brings up the question of should games be responsible for what players add? If Nintendo makes a Mario game and someone mods Princess Peach to be naked, should that game be rated M? What if they have Mario violating her ass? Is it then AO?

Why would chat be any different? Blizzard cannot monitor chat, they can only react when something inappropriate is brought to their attention. They will then act accordingly, but that doesn't mean the game should have its rating changed. They provide a game and what THEY provide is rated T for teen. What players do is uncontrollable, even with banning because banning someone doesn't turn back time. The inappropriate behavior already occured and nothing can change that. If you are going to give ratings on what can happen then we are in for a world of hurt because everything should be rated M/AO because someone, somewhere will find a way to put sex in it.
