    You already said something, yeah follow the rules. Here's a way to defend your kids, stop letting them play Xbox Live. Oh and you need to follow the rules of the forums.

    Is there any way to stop the game from making noise?

    Hi

    I use my computer as my primary method of listening to music or watching tv. Often, I play casual games on one screen, and have music or tv running on the other. That's why I'm sorry to report that some of Microsoft's casual games break one of the cardinal
    rules of casual games, in that they are apparently not entirely mutable. Firstly, it seems that every little thing one does in your games must be "rewarded" with a notification popping up - with the accompanying pling. I suppose I could turn this off, but
    that would mean also turning off notifications that I care about, such as when something important stops working etc. That's slightly annoying, but if I play the game more, I suppose the achievements get fewer. The big problem, however, is advertising. As
    a rule, I don't particularly mind advertising, but I really, REALLY dislike it when someone shouts in my ear without warning - and especially when my music gets interrupted. In this case, I was surprise attacked by Microsoft Jigsaw in this manner right away,
    and by Microsoft Mahjongg after a while, and I immediately uninstalled both games. Now I am seriously considering switching to another brand of bread, since this advert happened to be for my regular brand, and as I may have mentioned, I really, REALLY dislike
    being shouted at.

    Now, this rant actually has a point. I would like to ask if there is a method of muting these games completely, and if not, to suggest adding one. I might add that I'm not going to pay for the ad free version, since I am not in the habit of giving anyone
    money to stop making noise at me - besides. Microsoft is not the Salvation Army, as far as I know. Besides, there are many more casual games around - I was just disappointed that these nice looking ones were compromised by noise pollution.

    regards,

    Martin

  5. I would actually not recommend that - blocking someone could negatively affect their reputation. Unless of course, you want to do that...

  6. Message them before you do anything. They could be somebody you know under another Gamertag or just somebody you've played with looking to make friends. If you're not happy with the outcome, block them.

    If they are not going to send a note as to why they are following me...I wouldn't have a problem with that. Why would you want some stranger following you? Just seems creepy. Lol.

    Peace, J.R.

  9. That's MS' fault if it negatively affects their reputation. The whole following thing, without mutually friending is a DUMB system, to begin with.

  11. I'm actually inclined to agree with Doc. I think it's a silly idea (I'm not a big supporter of Twitter though either, so I guess it comes as no surprise). The only time I take advantage of the followers list is when I don't have any friends who are willing
    to play with me - it's kind of like my back-up list...

    Generally, people start following me after I play with them, and if it was a good game, then I'm perfectly fine with that. However, if they acted like a jerk, then I'll remove them. If I'm not sure why they followed me, I'll simply ask them why they did
    and make my decision based off of their answer. When I follow people, I always let them know it in a funny/slightly creepy way: "You're being followed... Does that bother you? Mwahahaha!!! Any way to stop a follower from following? :p" It doesn't always work, but that's kind of the point - I want to
    see if they have a good sense of humor and are willing to laugh at my joke or to see if they're too paranoid to bother. Any way to stop a follower from following? ;)

  12. I'm on Facebook & Twitter so "followers" don't really bother me.

    I spend way more time on Xbox 360 so don't even know about strangers following me until I log onto my XBOX 1 console cuz Xbox 360 EVEN XBOX.COM doesn't tell you if you have followers. I've deleted about 6 of them. If you want to be friends with me we need
    to have some games we both play and message/talk to regularly and send me a message first. I friended Cloud on my Xbox 1 console but he doesn't show up as a friend on even xbox.com cuz it uses the Xbox 360 system. My Xbox 360 friends list is full.

    A person HAS to be on your Xbox 360 friends list in order to play with Minecraft Xbox 360 version with you unless they are friends of one of your friends who is in your world. Even if you Invite them. The friend system between the two platforms is a bit
    complicated as Xbox 360 will never allow more than 100 on your list where as Microsoft has allowed 1,000 on Xbox 1 plus followers. The differences is a bit complicated but it's OK.

    This needs to be changed, having to block and unblock someone for following you is ridiculous, I picked a couple of poor losers following me after beating them in BF, they were just being silly in game, what they did was not worthy of a block, but they were
    players I did not want following me, a simple remove follower would do, I follow no one at all, expect my friends.
