Can I appeal these strikes

Stanley-Lloyd Harvey · Feb 24, 2025

Recently I got 2 strikes for seemingly no reason. Xbox won't give me a clear reason as to why but I think it might be because I said "SMP" in a Minecraft post. In Minecraft context, "SMP" clearly means "Survival Multiplayer" but I have a feeling the auto moderation (not believing for a second that real people moderate this) could have interpreted it as something else and banned me. Can I appeal these?

You would have to check the enforcement site to see if a case review is available. https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/family-online-safety/enforcement/how-to-submit-a-case-review

Yes. If there's no option for an appeal, then all you can do is wait out any active suspensions. The strikes will expire after a while.

It's not, does that mean I'm stuck with them?

I've already sent an appeal for both false reports i have and they said they would get back to me but my new question is if I appeal will the strike be removed? Because long story short i was false reported and it counted tor 6 strikes 2 more of them and I am permanently banned, if my appeal is accepted are the 6 strikes lifted and also do strikes rest yearly or something? And if I reach maximum strikes do they reset? I hope i don't get to that point but because of the false report it might happen

Hi there Masyourmom 5. I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

I am so sorry to hear you are having issues with strikes on your account.

The best thing to do is to go to your Enforcement page and see why you are getting these strikes.

You can find the Enforcement page here: [support.xbox.com/help/family-online-safety/enforcement]

You can then appeal these strikes on the same page and therefore they will be removed if your appeal is valid. You can find out more about appealing here: [support.xbox.com/help/family-online-safety/enforcement/how-to-submit-a-case-review]

You can find more general information here: [support.xbox.com/help/family-online-safety/enforcement/enforcement-strike-system-faq]

You should also look through the service agreement here: [https://www.xbox.com/legal/community-standards]

Strikes are rescinded over time. The maximum strike lasts for a year for example.

Please do keep in mind that there is no guarantee this strike will be removed.

I hope this helps.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie
