    How do you deal with someone threatening mass reports on profile?


    A few days ago, I posted a comment on someone's screenshot they took of "Cyberpunk 2077". It was a character squatting down on a ledge with their arms on their knees. I said in the comment "Squatting Slav?" because it reminded me of the meme and how CDPR
    is located in Poland and obviously a wink to the meme the developer put in game. It got two likes and I liked the post. A few hours later, I get a message asking "Do you always post stupid comments?". I was confused at first and then realized it was the person
    who posted the picture. I then responded by clarifying it was a meme and explaining how CDPR is based in Poland saying there was nothing stupid about it. They continued to say that it was even more stupid now that I've explained it. I asked them why they were
    so mad and that I meant no harm. So they then deleted the comment from their post, something I was about to offer to do if it made them that upset. I told them they were getting upset over nothing and it was just a silly comment, even telling them I was going
    to delete if it made them upset. They continued to be grumpy in chat saying they didn't have to apologize and they could do whatever they wanted. Seeing this bizarre conversation go no where, I wished them a Merry Christmas and that Santa would get them the
    Nerf gun they asked for because they were acting childish and blocked them.

    TLDR; I post a normal comment on a picture and OP got mad at me calling me stupid. Today I get a message from a different person telling me if I continue to taunt them by commenting on their posts I would get reported by their 50k followers, the message
    senders followers, and their friends followers for harassment. They then said that they've done it before and it would work. Now obviously this is a blatant threat and a violation of Xbox TOS on exploits. I reported both messages for harassment, but I'm not
    sure a threat to abuse the Xbox reporting system is simply just harassment but goes beyond that to threatening and abuse of exploits. Is there anything I can do besides report the messages? I can't report the profiles for threats and I don't know if it's related
    to "Cheating" at all because it isn't in a game or anything I can prove.

    *EDIT* If anyone has had similar problems and circumstances feel free to put that in the answer. Hopefully this situation can serve some good and give information in case it happens again.

    How do you deal with someone threatening mass reports on profile?

    Just report the message & block the person.

    Wouldn't worry about the whole mass reporting threat,it never works as long as you haven't done anything to violate the ToU/CoC & anyone found abusing the report function risks receiving enforcement action themselves.

    If they've threatened you in a message & you've reported the message then the enforcement team will have the evidence right there.They have access to any messages a person has sent.

    When reporting a profile there's a drop down box where you can add additional info if needed so just use that.

    Thank you for the response. I had the suspicion that it was an empty threat (how do you get 50k people you never met to do anything?) but it still had me worried. I still wonder if it counts as Cheating though if it's attempted manipulation of the Xbox
    complaint system. Maybe they need a new catagory when reporting a profile or message.

    My son got banned from communication.......

    Microsoft is strict you can get banned for communication by cursing and threatening other people make the Xbox environment unsafe if someone "threatened my child" You need to click on the message and report it that
    is it. The Microsoft team will deal with it. it will take a couple of days. if your son keeps on getting threaten BLOCK THE Person.

    What are the rules in people hacking and threatening you?

    Report the profile that threatened you to Microsoft and block them. Chances are he's just trying to scare you. I've heard that threat before as well and nothing ever happened to me. It's just someone who is angry. It's not illegal to threaten to hack someone
    however, if said user DID hack you, that would be a different story.
