    LFG macro spam protection must be implemented.


    LFG macro spam must be stopped

    Obviously, LFG spam is getting out of control. Some sort of “automatic LFG posting protection on PC” must be introduced. It takes literally 5 mins to setup a macros which gonna spam LFG with recovery services (which are forbidden by CoC btw).

    I was banned for making a looking for group post that said "Standard"

    No you are misunderstanding the purpose of spam rules

    Anything unrelated or posted constantly repetitively

    Spam is unrelated to the subject of LFG

    Lfg is only to be used for Looking for group posts not unrelated topics like spam or trading etc

    What the [Mod Removed] Microsoft

    iremember context is KEY

    If it is in LFG or he spammed thr msg then it is a terms of use violation

    Lfg is only looking for

    Group not for advertising eyc

    Spam is self explanatory

    When will we NOT be bombarded with spam bots on Xbox LFGS

    Apologies for the very late response, I don’t check this very often and wasn’t expecting further replies

    But responding to your earlier message, hundreds of bot accounts are being created every day (to avoid being blocked and banned) and they are coded to create lfgs and spam other players lfgs.

    Privacy settings don’t work, Microsoft just needs to work on some sort of anti bot protection.

    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?

    Do you consider xbox ecosystem safe?

    Just like the internet in general there will always be issues and dangers. But I think thus far Xbox has done a good job and implementing things to help protect younger people. As well security measures to protect everyone in general. One thing i have
    noticed recently is a lot of spam mail asking my age.
