Banning people for misconduct

Chris King4 · Nov 16, 2023

Sincerely, I believe that certain Xbox players are being banned for misbehavior when playing multiplayer for absolutely no cause at all. I'll provide an instance. According to me, Insurgency Sandstorm's destructive behavior inside the group stems from a healthy sense of competitiveness. I promise that most who have reported an individual on this game has, in one way or another, contributed to the issue they are reporting. Microsoft should, in my opinion, examine their rules and relax a little. People fork over their hard-earned cash for live services, but what if someone in a multiplayer game says something offensive or cold? People can be blocked, muted, and a host of other choices are available. Since the early 2000s, Microsoft has consistently produced intensely competitive games with lots of trash talk.

Hi Chris K, my name is Daniel and I would be happy to help.

Some things you mention you are right, but let me tell you that sometimes people are banned for breaking Microsoft rules, even if it is a "competitive" talk that breaks the rules therefore the consequence is a ban in fact that is in the rules of Microsoft.

I am a player like you and that is partly why I understand you perfectly, but if a person is banned and thinks it is a mistake, there is the option to file an appeal through the Enforcement page, there the team in charge will study the case and take a decision. Decide if the ban was a mistake or not. Here is the page in case you need it in the future:

https://enforcement.xbox.com/

It should be noted that this is a public forum of the Microsoft community where we are players like you who help other players with basic problems with consoles and games, this means that we do not belong to Microsoft.

I hope you understand and if you have any other questions let me know, I wish you good luck.

Best regards,
Daniel.

If you believe that the xbox enforcement team has made a mistake in banning you then you should appeal.

If you believe that the picture is not offensive then you could try to upload it again after the ban has finished, but make a complant to xbox enforcement team before doing so or they might try and ban you again for futher misconduct.

Hello!

All of the reports are reviewed by someone to verify they do in fact break the terms of service. If you sent messages, voice chat, etc. that did in fact violate the ToS, and it was reported, you would likely receive a comms ban for it. Exact details are typically
not provided to prevent people from retaliating against others who report them for their misconduct. You can also appeal the ban at enforcement.xbox.com then How Do I? and Case Review if it is for longer than 24 hours.

You have no report for misconduct? that may be a reason for your situation

Thats the problem though there was only one occasion where I broke the code of conduct which resulted in a suspension, I only use party chat with friends so only messages could be used for misconduct and there is only one conversation with misconduct so
I don't know where the second breach of conduct came from. There are a lot of people in my house which have access to my account and could have happened when they were using the account but looking through the messages there is only one breach which was the
one that resulted in the communications suspension.
