    Why do you not allow me to post on looking for group.

    You always says "let's keep it clean - remove inappropriate content, then try posting again."

    For example I wrote

    "labrynth, giant squares maze section. Help or learn together. Ngl idk what to do lol."

    What is wrong with that?

    Every post I try to make for every game takes me about an hour to figure out how to write a specific set of words that does not convey what I mean just so it wont be flagged. I cant even make a post with any words. Most of the time I have to give up and hope there are enough tags to make a coherent thought that others will understand and hopefully respond to. Having to use words that are not what I mean to say cause confusion between players. Why do you ban the english language and make it impossible to write absolutely anything. You have made a useful tool, unusable by people. Why have an lfg if you wont let people communicate? I should not have to rewrite a post 50 times before you allow a certain specific type of word combination. It would be nice if you provided a list of all english words you have banned so I can stop using them and wasting my time. You could also explain why the post was flagged because blanket labeling everything as inappropriate is a lie and its lazy. Why don't you specificy the parameters that were flagged so maybe people can write an xbox english language limited post first instead of wasting time on dozens of attempts.

    Do you know what its like to rewrite a lfg post 50 times on a controller? Nothing I post on lfg is inappropriate.

    How do you recommend I ask for help on lfg if I cannot use english words, or do you reccomend I stop using xbox lfg? I always liked consoles because they streamline the gaming experience and just work. I have had so many issues with Xbox the past 12 months I might as well just invest in PC where there are zero limitations.

    This issue destroys the multiplayer gaming experience. I've spent hundreds of dollars on multi-player games but can't ask people to play.

    Why is this inappropriate and needs to be clean..?

    Asking to buy/sell/trade anything in LFG posts are actually not allowed. That is probaby why it is flagged. LFG posts are only meant for looking for others to play a game with.

    Yes, trading in the game is allowed, but LFG posts are not in the game. You can only use in-game mechanics to trade.
    Which is all that I did

    Not according to your own words:

    "I only posted in an lfg private group to TRADE exact word we’re looking to trade my demon crazy guy and old man masks."

    LFG is literally only for looking for other players to play with. Literally anything else (trading, selling etc) is not allowed on LFG posts.

    You can trade in game but anything posted on LFG regarding anything except looking for others to play with can result in a suspension.

    All trading in that game is done through trade group posts. The entire Xbox live page is dedicated to it and the lfg 76 group every post in both places is to trade in game items u people obv do not play fallout 76

    What's the purpose of LFG except to browse thru spam

    Its better to post LFG post in groups. People respond to those
    I'd agree.. except a large number of LFG posts are
    spam, as I originally posted but somehow was missed in response. Outside of Report to Xbox Live Enforcement (which does little to curb the abuse), there is little in the way to clear or filter out the spam LFG posts. If LFG's are mostly
    spam, what is the purpose of having it? I don't think the LFG purpose is to get people to follow you, sell a dlc, sell an account, scam out in-game cash, etc. But that is what is has become. So, again, what is the purpose of LFG other than to browse thru spam?
