4 messages from a guy about how he's gotten loads of people banned by reporting and I'm next?

I don't use Youtube however it does make sense,

For example I once saw a guy in a flying warthog called "**** Joe" - obviously a "modded"/"hacked" console in play because this name wouldn't be allowed, and warthogs don't fly

It'd make sense that many people reported this guy for cheating

And as such he'd be banned for it.

So I find it VERY plausible that a surge of reports on my tag would cause a ban

The last message ends with:

"Remember you told us you were a computer programmer [...] you better watch your **** now" (I'd posted this after listening to 3 of the 4 messages) - what does this even mean?

Although I accept a "dubious" player would say this, I don't cheat. It's just a standard xbox360

That's not how it works.You could suddenly have 100 people report you,all those reports would be investigated by a member of the enforcement team & if you have done nothing wrong then nothing will happen.In fact,anyone found abusing the report feature risks
enforcement action themselves.

This is taken directly from the enforcement site:



Will I get banned just because I received complaints?
No. A common misconception is that a certain number of reports will result in an automatic suspension. According to the myth, even if you haven’t done anything wrong someone can get you suspended by encouraging
players to file many complaints. This is completely untrue.

XBLPET investigates complaints and takes each report into consideration when making an enforcement decision, but a certain volume or frequency of complaints doesn’t guarantee a suspension. We take an evidence-based
approach to enforcement and take numerous factors into account when considering issuing a suspension. The context around the content or activity is particularly essential and drives our decision-making process. Simply put, there is no magic formula that instantly
results in a suspension.

Despite what some may claim, XBLPET will never ever ban anyone “for no reason”. Suspensions always occur as a result of a specific Code of Conduct violation.

Nope thats npt how it works suggest you read the enforcement.xbox.com for actual information on how reports works .

Supoort bella is correct though but your impression on how reports works is vastly wrong

Misconception is not.a good thing

REMEMBER not everything on youtube isnt.true and its mostly ranters who never tell both sides of.the coin

Or because of misconsceptions they dont fully understand that retialiation isnt ok even in real life why would it be ok online then you have the freedom of speech guys who dont read the actual text

I've been assured by Bella B (or something I closed the tab now) that as long as I didn't do anything, I'm safe. Which takes a lot of worry off my mind (the threat is apparently to report me using loads of accounts, and it makes sense if 10, 20, 50 (whatever)
accounts report someone, that that someone is bad and should be dealt with quickly)

Anyway - sorted
