Its why Nintendo uses the friend code system, so strangers can't find you online. Its a pain, and reduces the social aspect of the online experience, but it isn't too bad when it helps protect kids from predators.

Its as Richard says, this problem method would be near impossible to have happen on the wii because of the friend code system. The *only* way to contact someone on the wii is to go through a difficult process that requires prearranged communication outside the platform. And even then its iffy that you'll get it to work.

I think its incorrect to claim they use systems like the wii.
