Spamming Game Invites

Hey there!

I know how frustrating that can be. If it's people you don't know, I definitely suggest you block the users so they are unable to contact you any further. If it's your friends, well, that sounds like a conversation you need to have with them about it. It's
possible they aren't aware that the invites are going through and are just making sure that you get your invites.

As far as limiting the number of invites goes, that's feedback you'll want to leave over at the
Xbox Feedback site. Devs look over the site constantly to see what people are looking/asking for. It's not a promise or guarantee but it's definitely the place to leave your suggestions.

Thanks for posting.

I cant send messages on xbox live

I'm thinking the OP was spamming people with boosting lobbies, clan invites or things like that.. because who messages randoms they play games with? The only messages I got from randoms were spam.

It could possibly be considered harrassment. No one here can give you an exact punishment for it though. It could be a communications suspension or an account suspension.

Messaging every player you have played against is spam.

As you are a streamer messaging players that subscribe to your channel would likely not be spam if you cover that in your rules page that most streamers have setup.

Take this as a lesson learned and modify what you do accordingly.

its against the rules to spam your youtube channel.

Advertising other websites is considered as spam and is against the rules here on the forums.

When someone is spamming you, the best way to deal with it, is to block that account, and report them for spam. Because when you block their account, they can't message or invite you. Make sure you didn't say anything bad that could break the rules, that might been why you got a suspension.
