  1. Make Xbox Looking for Group (LFG) safer and more secure against spam, abuse, and fake profiles


    The Xbox Looking for Group (LFG) feature is a great way to find teammates and connect with the community — but it’s currently vulnerable to spam, harassment, scams, and fake accounts. To protect players and improve the experience, I suggest a series of safety and access improvements.

    Problems observed: – Frequent spam posts flooding the LFG feed – Toxic behavior or offensive language in group descriptions and messages – Scam attempts (e.g. fake giveaways, phishing links) – Fake or throwaway accounts abusing the system

    Suggestions for improvement:

    Require Xbox Game Pass (Core, Standard, or Ultimate) to create LFG posts – This would reduce spam by limiting access to verified, paying users – Free-tier users could still join groups, but not create them

    Add a reputation filter or trust score – Prioritize LFG posts from accounts with good standing and verified history – Option to hide posts from new or low-reputation accounts

    Stronger moderation tools and AI filters – Auto-flag offensive or repeated spam content – Block links or suspicious keywords in LFG descriptions – Let users report LFG posts with more specific reasons (e.g. scam, hate speech, spam)

    Profile verification badge for LFG creators – Show a small icon if the user has Game Pass, verified email, and good standing – Helps players trust who they’re joining

    Rate limit or cooldown for LFG creation – Prevent users from posting too many groups in a short time – Especially useful against bots or mass spam attempts

    These changes would make the LFG system safer, more trustworthy, and more enjoyable — especially for younger players or those looking for serious co-op and multiplayer sessions.

    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

    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'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?

    Unknown Ban

    My understanding is that the Looking For Group feature is purely restricted to looking for others to game with....using LFG to buy/sell in-game items is against the LFG TOS and can lead to a ban. And, yes, lots of people do it but that doesn't make it okay to also do.
