Does getting blocked lead to a ban?

CharlotteMarshall2 · Jul 4, 2019

My son (D) is being bullied by a school mate who has told him that he's going to keep blocking D until he gets a ban. I'm pretty dense when it comes to all the online xbox stuff, so I've no idea if this would happen. I've told my son to unfriend this child,
but I don't know if this would stop him from blocking D. As D has a game pass and a new Gold subscription the last thing I want is for him to get banned. I'm frustrated as I don't know if there is anything I can do to prevent this child from causing issues
with my sons' profile.

Any help with this problem would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks!

Dont worry so much as long as they dont have a gap or the other child doesnt have their gametag or they dont know it, they are just words, now if something works, you or your child could block that child, this could only happen if they know the GT of the
He and in case of getting to be suspended, have games bought in that account?

No being blocked does not mean you will be banned. It only means your sons friend will not be able to talk, message or see your sons account on his xbox live account. So you do not need to worry about your son being banned.

No, not necessarily. If you haven't broken the rules then you have nothing to worry about. You will find what you need to know about the Code of Conduct

No it won't. It just keeps your son from communicating with this kid. Also you should just have your son block him to prevent any unwanted contact.

Enforcements (account bans and such) can only be actioned by the enforcement team, when a player breaches the Community Standards. Someone blocking your sons alone account cannot get them banned.

I strongly recommend your son block their accounts on Xbox also, this can be done by navigating to the players profile and he will see an option to block on the right hand side menu. If your son recieves bad behaviour or harrassment from this player via
Xbox Live also, you can report that profile again in the same place you block the account. If for any reason malicious report against your son is placed and leads to a ban, as long as the ban is more than 24 hours, he can ask for a Case review where the team
will look at the circumstances more in depth.

For more information on the Community Standards and how a player could potentially get banned, you can visit http://enforcement.xbox.com and log in with your sons xbox account details.
You can also view other information at that link on his reputation and such

Please reassure your son that the person from school cannot get him banned merely by repeatedly blocking him!! That person chatting rubbish!!

I hope that puts your mind at rest
