Any way to stop a follower from following?

If you don't have an xbox one, how can someone follow you and how would you know?

Also you can block anyone so just do that if someone is bothering you

 

I agree with the bad bear...

 

This doesn't bother me in the slightest. If someone follows me who i recognise...eg off the forums, I'd probably follow then. If I don't know who they are I just leave them to it.

 

Seems like some people get a little uptight over this following thing. Lol....I have no idea why to be honest.

If someone followed you that in all likelihood means they had an enjoyable experience gaming with you.

And so what if someone knows you just started playing bf4 or just unlocked an achievement?? big whoop.

 

That's why I always prefer it if a person sends a message with the friend request stating who they are and where they are from e.g. the Xbox.com forums, that way I can seperate them from some random nobody that spams out friend requests to feel special.

 

If it's not broke, it doesn't fixing. What was wrong with the old system?

I would rather receive a simple friend request, then accept or not accept, and it's done.

Likewise, instead of being some social media wannabe.

 

I like the following system. I do not care. And what they going learn about me becide what I do on my XBOX.

 

^^ Exactly. Yet, even Facebook has it right.

 

There should be an option to block friend/follow requests, so none ever reach you like you can block messages and online status and games and such. And personally, I think if you are "following" someone, your reputation deserves to go down

 

I just don't understand the following system, I mean, it's XBL not Facebook. I prefer the old way of just sending someone a friend request and being done with it. I only add people I know in real life or cool peeps I've met online, I don't want random people
following me for no reason. Blocking someone because of this seems pointless. If you're going to add useless features to XBL, at least give us the option of disabling it.

 

I hate it but I don't care if people stalk me It makes me feel special. But MS mess up with many good thing that made the Xbox 360 better.

 

I don't really mind if people follow me either. As long as they don't interpret it as we're now BFF's so it's cool to spam me with messages and invites when I'm watching something on Netflix.

 

It would be nice if Microsoft used PERMISSIONS for followers just like they do for Friend Requests. On Xbox 360 for instance, if someone wants to be your friend, Xbox Live sends you a message and an operating system notification (aka Dashboard notification)
and you can choose to Accept or Decline. The same could be said for Followers.

It's true this is Xbox Live not Facebook or Twitter. Especially parents who are concerned about older peps following their kids. If someone decides to follow you and you don't know them or haven't taken the care to send an appropriate message why they're
following you, just block or delete them.

 

If someone repeatedly tries to follow you, and you don't want or like it, that can be considered harassment and against Xbox Live TOC and Code of Conduct. But in many cases, followers are good. It's like the reputation system on 360. If you like a player
but not enough to friend, them, just submit a positive feedback smiley face, where as on Xbox 1, you probably may just follow them. It's still good manners to message peps before following them and explain why you are.
