Fellow "Avoid me" Prisoners

inb4 the class action lawsuit

I've had multiple friends start having problems in the past 8-10 months with seemingly random enforcement actions, and they eventually choose to just make new accounts. The Reputation system has been subverted and abused.

I hate the idea that, in some Analytics department at Xbox Live, they can see a huge spike in reporting and enforcement actions in the last year that coincides with new Xbox Live Gold accounts being made under existing Console IDs
and IP addresses. They can still make a little money, so they have little incentive to fix it or even tune it. Well, I hope Xbox Live can hold on to every penny they can possibly get and its executives are happy doing it. This awful company, with their asinine
methods and services, will be going out of business in the years to come.

If the playlist encourages ramming into others then fine.

It's the idiots who purposely ram into you on a proper track race I have a problem with.

I am not a stick or a grump just because I would like to play a game properly without having to put up with juvenile idiots who think it's funny to spoil the game for everyone else.

Just because someone does not share your childish view of what's acceptable to do to other people in a game does not make them a stick or a grump.

Instead of quoting the ToU/CoC all the time why not actually read them & if you are having trouble understanding them then i'm sure there's an adult that can explain them to you.

I think A LOT of people get marked down on these two areas as well. The most common area is Language. Swearing or retaliating or "defending". If someone does this to you, and you do it to them back..... you're JUST as bad, as them!

It is not the Reputation System, that is at flaw. But it's Human Nature, that is. And judging by 99% of the randoms who come on here and blurt out Why I got banned without analyzing possible contributing factors.

So while the Reputation System is not fool proof, it has a good solid starting-off, foundation.

The rep system has a wonderful and happy philosophy to it if we lived in a world where opportunism and spite don't exist- "Let the community police themselves." Yeah, I've been comm-banned legitimately before and it stopped my bad behavior. Around when Halo
5 came out I would occasionally send spicy messages and eventually I got comm-banned. That was perfectly fair, and made me realize that people might be legitimately offended and affected if I just say to them "you f**ing suck". Hooray, Xbox Live helped me
grow as a person there, mission accomplished by them. It was understandable and I didn't send any messages after that happened.

By now, people who file reports do it out of spite because they know the capability of the Rep system. The "foundation" does not exist anymore, and it was a pretty foolish foundation to begin with. The community has learned to exploit the reporting system
just to make things difficult for people they don't like. This has become a huge problem within the XB1 Overwatch community at least. The rep system for some people is destroyed by now and should be tuned down, or turned off altogether, or actually bring some
humans in to moderate.

My most recent enforcement action was in January/February. It was 2 weeks of social/gaming ban for "Harassment/Abuse/Threats- Griefing" and a 48 hour communications ban for "Voice Communication". The comm ban for "voice" was interesting, I
had actually not said a word in an Overwatch voice channel for weeks, other than occasionally "good luck guys" at the end of a match. I figured the comm ban at least has to be overturned since I was hardly even in Voice chat, but no, it stuck. I'd love to
know what the actual appeal process consists of, as I am still convinced there is not a human anywhere in the process. Context is supposed to matter, right? Unless they record and save every second of voice communication across Xbox Live parties and games
to listen to later like they're the damn NSA, they don't really have any way of examining the context and saving the Rep system from exploitation when it comes to "Voice comm" reports. And apparently they don't, because I got a comm-ban specifically noted
to be for Voice Communication when I don't talk in in-game voice chat.

Won't do you any good as the corporate world fully owns politicians, judges, etc and thus unlike the Clintons. Can legally have the word. "Is" redefined.

The powers that be wanted you out, you wouldn't of your own co-operate, so they helped you out by using the "system" to FORCE you out. So why even try to get "justice" or even your REP back from an anti social system which seeks to LORD over you?
