    How to stop bots from spamming the LFG feature?


    There are bots advertising their rmt websites by using the looking for group feature.
    What happens is i report them and the post gets taken down after like 10 seconds.
    But they just make a new post and nothing changes.
    It seems pointless to report them if they can just make a new post.

    :)

    Reporting them is all you can do. It gets the enforcement team involved who can take care of it.

    When will we NOT be bombarded with spam bots on Xbox LFGS

    Apologies for the very late response, I don’t check this very often and wasn’t expecting further replies

    But responding to your earlier message, hundreds of bot accounts are being created every day (to avoid being blocked and banned) and they are coded to create lfgs and spam other players lfgs.

    Privacy settings don’t work, Microsoft just needs to work on some sort of anti bot protection.

    New great feature coming soon (tm)

    I love the message request feature that has been added I feel it adds an extra level of security from Spam Bots. Great tool.

    I got banned for no reason

    Last question dear. You plenty helped me already, but, on fallout lfg evey 2 sec bots accounts spam posts promoting their website where they sell Xbox itimes for real money ,I report those for spam and Xbox takes action but after 2 sec they post again ? Why they don't get coms ban ? This is seriously unfair and makes me very angry , those fake accounts are ruining lfg on Xbox.

    Why have I been banned and where can I find out why?

    Literally all my post was “ silver ranked play, be chill” I even reported a bunch of spam bots offering paid services in there whilst I was waiting because that’s what 90% of the Lfg is but Microsoft dosent do anything about that
