Avoid Me Help.

Hi

i just recently have had my reputation downgraded to Avoid Me. I have called Xbox customer support and they only recommend posting to these forums. I have made 2 posts in the last 5 days on the Enforcement webpage and no one is responding to my concerns.
What is an honest Xbox live user supposed to do to get a resolution to a major issue? I have had an excellent reputation for the last 11 years and now some clan in Forza has decided to sully my Rep by reporting me for Unsportmanslike behaviour. I can't
do a case review either because there is nothing there for specifics on my ban. What's even more unbelievable is the enforcement reputation website says that I have a good or green status. i am beyond frustrated with this broken system that has no way for
an appeal. You are presumed guilty until proven innocent and yet I can't even get a trial from a microsoft rep?! Anyone else here in the same boat? It would be great if I knew how long this ban is in effect for and if I could find out how I'm supposed
to dig my way out of this hole? Ya it / the web says to keep playing multiplayer and eventually your rep will recover but after 5 days of grinding in World of Tanks I'm now skeptical on whether I have a blanket ban. Any serious advice would be much appreciated
here.

Cheers

Xbox rep - Avoid me - Help?

If you sign in here you can actually see what types of complaints people are making against you.

https://enforcement.xbox.com

The first thing I would do is check there. If the common complaint is cheating then you are probably just being reported for playing a "non-meta character" that has people upset. The reputation system is designed to be resilient to abuse. So a ton of people just negging you for no reason shouldn't affect your reputation. Of course nothing is immune to issues but you have fallen through 3 levels of less then awesome feedback to get to "avoid me".

My suggestion is that you start using the mute and block functions to avoid playing with people who trigger behaviours that get you reported. If someone's says something nasty or sends you a message, block and report instead of firing back. What is very possible is that you are getting reported by people for saying things that are being provoked by the people who are reporting you.

The Trove thing likely won't work. In the same way they have tools built in to prevent abuse of using negative feedback I'm sure they thought about using games like Destiny or Trove that have hubs to build reputation back up artificially. If Overwatch brings out the worst in you try legitimately playing another game with similar levels of interaction, like Rainbow 6 Siege for a while.

My personal trick is if I want to curse someone out I mute my mic and do it. I don't get reported, I get to curse them out everyone wins. Overwatch and games like it can provoke that feeling but you simply have to find a mature way to deal with it.

As an aside I can't support any conclusion with my experience that the rep system is subject to serious abuse. I play a fair number of games and don't have a single report against me in the last 6 months. I generally find people on Xbox Live to be decent people, to the point that I can remember most of the negative experiences I've had over the last several months because they stand out to me as a rare experience.

Finally I'd have a look at this:
Microsoft’s Code of Conduct Explained for Xbox Live Customers

This is the code of conduct for Xbox Live, you agreed to it when you signed up and enforcement can be swift and brutal. If your negative communication with others encourages self harm, implies threats or is just generally very unpleasant the next steps will likely involve timed communications or multiplayer bans since your rep is bottomed out.

I don't want to sound preachy, but understanding how the system works, what you agreed to, how you act, and what sort of coping methods you can use are the best way out of this.

 

Xbox rep - Avoid me - Help?

Hi All,

As you all know the reputation system is flawed.
I wont lie & say i'm the best player on xbox so i get reported...lets be honest, i have said things i shouldn't have & i'm now a week into avoid me after 10 years of no offences on xbox.

Honestly its because of Overwatch, if anyone plays this game they know it can be toxic but especially at the top 500 level. I hit 101 in EU & i main a character that isn't meta so i get abused all the time & sent messages & the last couple of months iv'e started to reply because i had enough...this was obviously a bad idea.

Can anyone suggest how to get out of avoid me because i cant play anything...apparently people favouriting you & liking your clips helps as well as getting more recent players who don't report you (i have played trove as it gives you about 40 recent players every 30 minutes but its not enough)

Thanks in advance...

 

I'm having the same issue right now in halo....pretty much telling you to play a game of their choosing to build your rep back up. Most of the time it won't even match you in a game any more so you can actually build your reply up. Pretty much a huge middle
finger in your face, come on Xbox at least give us a thank you card when you steal our money.
