Parent Messages in a Family marked as, "potentially offensive content"

Queaker · Nov 4, 2021

Hey Microsoft,

Messages using the Xbox Family App, the Xbox App, the PC Game Bar or directly from one console to another in chat to our children are marked as, "potentially offensive content." This includes content like, "I love you," "XOXO," "Hugs" Blowing kisses emojis and love related emojis.

A family account should be excluded from this filter, as well as friend to friends. Give parents the option to limit the filter application by allowing us to skip applying to friends or simply family.

I manage my children under my account, so these filters should not default to blocking parent messages. Blocking a message that says, "I love you," may be fine from a stranger but not from a parent to a child in a family account. Or from a friend to a friend. For example, all of our annual and holiday messages that ended with, "love you" to our nephews and nieces were hidden as potentially offensive with no way to bypass or unhide the content.

I bet most parents aren't even aware of this.

Please fix this or if there is a current way to bypass this offensive content filter for parent to child messages - please post the information below.

:)

the system is like that to mitigate harassment and abuse, they cannot switch it off, i had the same issues when i was sending messages to my kids, we just use discord now and avoid any chat programs from Microsoft.

I mean it's not biased, just protecting other players from being subjected to potentially offensive content.

Alright, here's a shot in the dark. My dad recently bought a family pass. I do not live with them (in fact I live near Redmond). I moved here about 2 weeks ago. The problem with the family pass, is that he marked himself as the "parent" making my profile
a "child" profile despite me having paid and run my own account for years.

First, is there any way to have 2 unrestricted/parent accounts?

Second, could this potentially cause me not being able to login on an old xbox?
