I tend to agree with OP, but you never can escape from such people.
How do the M 17+ rating is enforced during beta or any beta keys giveaways?
Now now, just because they talk it doesn't necessarily mean they are under 17!

To really want to enjoy both an online game and its community you need to have a sense of humour, even if a conversation like this arises. If you don't like something like this then you don't have to read it.
Also just because of what people talk about when servers are down doesn't mean they don't deserve a beta. Just relax the game will be out soon.
In other words you are one of these immature kids.
No, I'm not. I just don't understand why people need to be so uptight and take absolutely everything offensive. Whats wrong with just taking a conversation like this as a joke? Is it that hard? They were passing the time, bored, whatever you'd call it. Maybe they were being immature. It doesn't mean you go ahead and post about it saying they don't deserve a beta
Who said it was offensive? Its not offensive to anyone, they arent even talking about real people. Its just annoying.
If they can't behave in a somewhat civil manner, than ban them from the beta. They obviously don't deserve that privileged.

I agree. And subsequently would bone Leah as well.
She is a poorly drawn animated character... Do you really need to reinforce your heterosexuality to that degree? Who are you trying to convince, yourself? Cuz the rest of us don't give a shit. If you secretly like dudes, thats fine. We aren't here to judge.
Then I put the little dipshits on ignore, and everyone has a good laugh at how badly they got burned.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
Here's an idea lets ban people and take away their beta privileges because they're annoying. And you call them immature. All this thread is about is "I find people like that annoying, why do they have a beta?". Just grow up, you're on the internet, no ones going to act the way you want them to, they're going to act they way they want to. So what if they act like that, they have the right to.
Judging by the way you've replied to Snaks42's comment, If I were you I'd choose my words carefully before calling people childish.
Here's today's hint folks, don't create a thread about people being immature when you can't constructively reply to posts on said thread in a mature way while getting your point across.

If blizzard cared about such conversations they wouldn't do fucking sexy females in Diablo 3 (I'm talking about DH, Wiz & possibly Monk here). At the start DH runs practically naked. Man it's just beginning of such conversations. And it's nothing wrong to talk about sex or whatever or are you one of those guys who was taught how to spare himself for a marriage ?

oh my gawd wouldn't you be the funnest person at the party. And yes, I need to talk about my raging boner for some pixels, what's up?!?!
Report to Blizzard and they will be out of the beta.
what? No they won't. You only have the name of their battletag, not their number. No real proof coupled with the fact I can safely say they don't give a shit about a screenshot means those kids will be fine.
When I was that young, I remember acting the same way. I don't really care what they said, but it's a good reason why I don't care about Blizzard improving the chat channels prior to release (or at all). I'll be playing the game instead of wasting time chatting or talking crap.
TBH the easiest way to have semi intelligent people in beta, would be for Blizzard to add an IQ test before being given the option of Opt in.
Take my mate as an example he has to be one of the worst gamers on the net, he is thick as shit , has never done anything in any game without being walked through or told and he cant read or write. BUT he gets given beta by Blizzard on the very first wave! Oh and to add insult to injury his thoughts on D3 beta were, "played it up to lvl 5 it wasnt all that, I'm gonna play Battlefield 3". I dont know what is worse, knowing that people like this have beta or the fact that many people who deserve beta don't have keys.
Edit: In case you are wondering, my mate is 31 years of age.
If anything the beta is just a cross-section of the people who will be playing the game. Blizzard would expect a certain number of them to not report anything or do any focussed testing of systems.
No doubt they put a lot of people in the beta just to test server load. In this case you took a screenshot of a server loaded with shit. Sadly every online environment has those kinds spewing memes and talking like idiots.
When you're online just /ignore them and move on with your life.

This is why chat windows don't have a prominent space in the game. Chat in 2000 is not like chat in 2012 on the internet. It's a totally different animal. Imagine loading up your game and getting the typical stuff like this immediately.
What makes one more deserving of something than another? Beta keys are arbitrary, anyone who thinks there is a hierarchy of entitlement needs get the fuck off their high horse. Whose to say these cats aren't all over 30 but just screwing around and having a good time? And even if they weren't and thats how they choose to play, so be it. It still doesn't make them any less deserving than you.
People like this should be squelched by battlenet. There is no reason to condone this type of behavior, and anyone in this thread trying to do so is likely just part of the problem. We have begun to tolerate the intolerable just because it happens on the internet. There is no excuse for this shit. Ban them, maybe after they buy the game 2-3 times they will figure out how to properly act within society.

You’re dealing with a society that has only embraced this form of communication for a decade. We are now having our first generations growing up with this stuff... it will be a LONG time till any behavior is manageable especially with kids. Heck there are many idiots out there that don't realize what the impact of cell phones and facebook have on real life.

Playing Diablo since 97. I know nothing and having nothing good to say, I be a troll.
This, really. I can't understand the fuss about this. Obviously it are kids having their fun, we've all done it before i'm sure. Just laugh at it / ignore it and move along, does really anyone care about this stuff or ever get offended by any of these kids? Then i really do feel sorry for you.
Its not offensive, its not funny, its simply annoying.
I haven't done this, because I am not a socially inept retard.
Don't tolerate the intolerable. Report them, and they will be muted!

One is never hurt by being given additional choices, only by taking them away. A QUADRILLION MAGIC FIND is worthless if you can't kill shit!
Hey guys this is the internet today and why blizzard isn't having your main screen a giant irc chat box. This isn't like the internet back when SC and Diablo was open and internet wasn't as full of trolls as before.
