cyber bullying/harrassment

[Mod Removed] has been cyber bullying my son ([Mod Removed]). He repeatedly harasses him to the point of bringing him to tears with personal attacks thru party chat. Multiple complaints have been filed online thru game.
My son as well as others in the part have tried muting, blocking, giving direct feedback and nothing has improved the behavior/code of conduct. He is not on my son's direct friend list, but a friend of friends. When my son has tried to mute or block he continues
to harass and bully thru the other players in the party (either getting them to say things or he can continue hearing what is said thru the mikes of others he is still connected to in the party.)
[Mod Removed] will then turn to game bullying/direct attack . this behavior is unacceptable. Please advise on how you can handle. Currently the only resolution I see for my son to disconnect from this person is to defriend his other friends
which he prefers not to do as they are not the problem. The content of the bullying includes name calling,teasing about the sound of his voice, perceived appearance and direct attack on his intelligence/making him feel and come across as stupid.

cyber bullying

There are no free Gamertag changes anymore. You get 1 chance to change it in the first 30 days. Like Ngocphi stated use the tools on your console to report and block these people. Otherwise you will need to pay 9.99 to have it changed.

 

cyber bullying

It is easy to fix set contact to friends only and block all communications with the said people and file a report

 

You are not allowed to call out gamertags on the forums.

File a complaint against anyone harassing your son,please remember that the enforcement team get 1000's of complaints per day,all of them have to be investigated so it can take time.

Sorry but if your sons friends are relaying things this person says to your son after he's blocked comms with him then they are also the problem & perhaps your son should get some new friends.

 

The same is going on with me, of course I blocked the GT's communications, but the person still joins my game and sends hateful messages with the message system integrated into the game of GTA. I can't play with any of my friends without this person randomly
joining and making my gameplay completely unsatisfying. I don't know what to do, I can't change my GT because I don't have the right amount of currency on my XBL account. I don't know what to do, but stop playing xbox completely. I don't want to have to resort
to that scenario. I love gaming but I hate being stalked in the cyber world.

 

Simply go to profile > preferences > appear offline. Unless he knows your friends in - game , he wont be able to join. Also , dont change your GT. Thats ridiculous. Hopw you get the issue sorted out.

 

No, he literally goes to my friend list and joins every one till he finds me, then starts talking trash. There is no way around it. I also blocked my friends list, but he goes to his friends friend list, because he knows im always playing with him, so I'm
***. Can't get away from him. I reported him, via GAME and XBOX LIVE. but nothing seems to keep him away. He also stalks my little sister when she is on, same with my girlfriend and its just unfair how nothings being done about it

 

Usual Baton, try invite only parties, you can host it, invite your friends and just kick him when he joins.

 

I wish Microsoft (Xbox) would just open some sort of cyber bulling or bullying option. There are way too many people like this on Xbox, and they kind of made it more annoying on the xbox one. When you mute someone, they can hear you! Whyyy???? People NEED
to do something about this.

 

My brother in law committed suicide due to bullying from a race crew on 18/2/2014.
[Removed] threatened him and his family. So I suggest people playing Forza 4 should be aware of this and my family is trying to do something about this with police and lawyers, but the warning to others in relation to this should be made aware...

I would appreciate somebody doing something about this from microsoft....

It is easy to fix

Sorry for your loss but it is very simple to fix and no one but you have the power to stop it

If you insist on a gamer tag Changet you will have to pay for it but it won't solve your problem

By blocking the said people and set privacy to friends only you will never hear from unwanted people

The tools are there for you to use not abuse

Force gamer tag changes are actually unwanted for good reason

Too many forced changes or violations will only lead to a perm ban and is a black mark on your record

We don't suggest you Google free name change and I'm sorry but if you are too cheap to consider 10 bucks to solve a clan name or name change because of your "safety:" is at risk then your priorities are wrong

Your safety always should be first

First priority break off contact with all bad people by setting friends only

2nd if gaming contact is really an issue then 10 dollars is more then worth your safety

3rd bullying doesn't solve your issue nor is changing your name

They win

 

Setting contacts to friends only solves all bullying issues it is that simple

Because no one but your friends can talk to you

 

[Mod removed: Name and shame] is causing so many problems and saying hes going to hack me and turning my friends against me and cursing to my little sister when she plays can somebody please help

 

Please do not name and shame on the forums, if you are having issue's with users on Xbox Live please block and report the user and the enforcement team will investigate the issue.

 

the solutions i see offered here Arent really solutions.

the block doesnt keep these trolls from joining your games and teamkilling you.

the Avoid is useless,they get allowed into our lobbies like theres not even an Avoid setup.

it doesnt keep them from going thru Recent players list and joining you.

there is No option in the Complaints list for cyber bullying at all.

so i really dont believe anyone who says microsoft is actually taking care of these type of people,because i Still see them even after Years of them being Reported...

the appear offline Advice,thats great if you want all your friends to think you arent around so they wont bother sending you invites...

and to the ambassador who stated we should just spend ten bucks to change our gamertag...

you know,the gamertag we Personally picked out and used with pride for YEARS.

Why?

hows that gonna stop a cyber bully when he joins your game anyways even with the new name?

and starts teamkilling you again?

seriously,i can think of one guy right off the bat/no worries i wont name him even tho hes a complete anal crevice/but this guy has been banned several times from microsoft for Being a bully and sending crazy messages.

yet,he keeps making handles Just like his original one and keeps coming back again and doing the EXACT same thing.

seems like microsoft would Rethink their whole investigation/cyber bullying Removal process,because its a Fail the way it is now.
