As we all know on xbox like there are alot of little kids who "swear like sailors" so i will cut to the point.Should it be a standard rule to not allow young kids on our servers
You only need to let people you know on your server. If swearing bothers you then use the mute option or just kick them, also it's not just little kids I hear people older than 11 doing it.

Add me if you like I play mostly COD, but I do play alot of Minecraft also.
You pulled my attention... and Xbox live is the only way I can talk to my cousin and if it is taken away from me. I'll never talk to him again. Sssssss...

Their parents probably allow them to swear due to their bad parenting skills.
Bad parents is something i could rant on about all day i have to say is good parents shouldn't let their kids on xbox live 24 hours a day. Also i don't want xbox live taken away
I don't understand, players are only allowed to join your map if they are your friend or a friend of a friend so it seems relatively easy just to block the person or ask them not to join.
The worst thing to do is to antagonize them because it just fuels the fire.
I allow everyone on my game worlds so I don't really mind. Some 11 year olds are very nice and friendly, others are funny, etc. so it doesn't really bother me at all
The answer is simple... there are so many 11 year olds on your maps because YOU are allowing them onto your maps. They must be your friends or friends of your friends. So, pare down your friends list (i.e. delete people who aren't really your friends) and don't allow friends of friends to join... problem solved.

So hes talking about his map.
Ok, well, first off, There's no our. This is your map where talking about right? So the real question would be "Should it be a standard rule not to allow kids on my server?"
Heres my way of answering your question.
- Thats up to you. Like others have said, If it bothers you sooo much then you have multiple options to
Mute,Block,Kick and remove from friends list. If there friends and you don't wanna be harsh, simply tell them.
Although I can't see an 11yr really caring what you tell them.
You're complaining that there is 11 year olds on game rated E+10? That's like complaining that there are 18 year olds on Battlefield and not CoD, well, no it's not, but you get what I mean.

Religion, has actually convinced people, that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of the day, and the invisible man has a special list. Of 10 things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do ANY of these ten things he has a special place, full of fire, and smoke, and burning, and torture, and will send you there to suffer and choke and scream for all of eternity... But he still loves you.
If he's not talking about his own map, then it's completely up to the host to decide whether or not they want 11-year-olds on THEIR map. He makes the choice whether or not he wants to play on their map... and that's the only choice he gets to make in that case. As you said, there is no "our" map involved. Either he's the host and who he let's on his map is his choice or he's not and who they let on their maps is their choice. 4J are not going to ban all 11-year-olds from playing the game. Children as young as 4 are playing this game and many of them have very good parental supervision while doing so.
(Based on this guys previous post about "his friend" (later revealed to be himself) griefing a "little kid" for swearing at him, I would guess this guy is having an specific issue with a specific "little kid friend" that he wishes to repeatedly degrade online (cyber bully). If the "server" belongs to his "little kid" friend, that "little kid" would be well advised to unfriend him. However, I suspect the "server" belongs to another third party that this guy is trying to convince to boot the little kid from. In that case, I would choose to book this guy first, then warn the little kid to clean up the language and give him an honest chance to do so. If the little kid doesn't clean up his language, then I would boot him as well.)
I don't care about swearing but 11 years old swearing just make them sound even more childish. The limit should be 18. Anyone under 25 is a kid to me with few exceptions. Just too many spoiled brats.

Yeah right - all underage minors should be banned from playing this game (which is focused on mining and crafting and building house and is not in an of itself particularly violent) just because the adults around don't want to take responsibility for sifting adults from children and/or adult content from G-rated content.
The host of a server has the ability to set an age limit for their server... and there are plenty 18+ ones being advertised. Once the host has set an age limit, it becomes their responsibility to enforce that limit in every way. That is, if the server is 18+, the host has an obligation to kick anyone who doesn't sound and/or behave like they are older than 18. Similarly, if a person wants to host a server for 10+ year olds, then they are obligated to kick anyone who tries to introduce adult content to the server and/or who goes about belittling and griefing "little kids" on the server and/or anyone using bad language on the server. If this is a 3rd-party server the OP is talking about, the host needs to take some action - first kick the OP for griefing the "little kid" and then the kid (if the kid continues to swear on the server. The server would, IMO, be far better off without either of them.
4J are not going to tell hosts how to operate their own servers. People would scream blue murder IF, for example, 4J "disallowed" 18+ servers from the game. Asking 4J to wholesale ban 11-year-olds from servers is the younger side of that same coin. It just won't fly.
Well, in my experience it's the kids who swear more ... they want to look "adult" and they think swearing like sailors is how to do it ... but that's not really the issue here.
I was GL of a WoW guild at one point and I had two members, one of whom acted like an immature brat and the other, well, he still did, but less so. One was 12 years old. The other was his IRL father. And since I'm posting this in this thread, I'm sure you can guess which was which: yep, the really bratty one was 32 years old; his son was better behaved.
The question is not whether you (or anyone) wants 11-year-olds on your server; the question is whether you want people who swear, or otherwise behave badly, on your server. They come in all sizes, shapes, and decorator colors. You're the one making the rules. You get to make a rule that says "If you behave like a stupid git, you will be banned." Then enforce it.
Some people may very well like a server full of swearing and brattiness for some reason. That's their decision. You don't. That's your decision. It's up to you to enforce the rules you choose on your server. As I told the guy who wanted to remove Peaceful mode, you play your way, let everyone else play their way, problem solved.
I have no problem letting my kids on public servers. Their mother talks like a drunken pirate on a bad day anyhow, most of the time.
But to the point..... I have always been of the opinion that people curse (cuss) to make up for certain inadequacies they may have. In other words people cuss to make themselves feel better about themselves, or to inflate the importance of what they are doing. I personally have always gone out of my way to point that out to my children. I never prohibited the use of swear words in house, and other than my wife and her horrible potty mouth, no one cusses that often.

Limiting what servers young players could play on, in my opinion, would certainly drive people away from buying the game in the first place. If you don't like how they act in game, just mute/kick them, problem solved

Allowing their children to swear doesn't necessarily make them bad parents, and the end of the day it's only a word. Yes, it's meant with bad intentions, but I don't think we should block young players from servers simply for how they act. Minecraft is a very community based game, players should be encouraged to play with each other, not blocking each other out.

What people are failing to consider here is that "servers" on Minecraft are not servers in the same sense as they are on the PC. The game on the Xbox is set up to generally be small game worlds played on by small groups of real honest-to-goodness friends. That is, in part, why the maximum player limit is only 8. However, the PC Edition was designed to that large servers could be managed where many of the people playing on them don't know each other and may never come to know each other.
On the Xbox, there are many, many hosts who limit younger players from playing on their maps. Just peruse the multiplayer section and you'll see several 18+ games being announced. This limiting by the host has not, to my knowledge, prevented parents from considering buying Minecraft for their younger children.
The problem with the current system really is that a person can't really have two different friends lists (one, say, for friends under a certain age and another for adult friends). IF they would add a "trusted players/allowed players list" that you could create for individual worlds, a single person could safely have a G-rated game/server running during the day and a adult only game/server running at night without having to resort to "invite only." They could have, running at different times of the day, a game/server where friendly griefing could be allowed and another where it's strickly forbidden.
For now, if a kid slides into an older friend's game/world that happens to be "adult only" and that has adult content, that adult friend can only (and should) kick and ban the kid from that "server."
