	I dont see this as being nessecary, while i agree that there are 
plenty off idiots out there, they can be avoided. Here is my solution

A: No matter what you do a person can still ruin the game for you so, 
just be patient and build a repore with people who are serious players. 
this takes little time and is it great to meet people you know to play 
and predetermined times. 

B: Create a new channel to meet on so communication is simple and secure 
from trouble makers. With a group of good players you can all agree on 
some basic rules of conduct and even what tatics and weapons should be 
used.

C: Put a password on your game. Final solution

Anything else would be over kill.
