smurf accounts made to harrass

Xxwingman69xX · May 17, 2019

Xbox needs to implement a way to block any account that doesn't have any Gamerscore or friends ie:smurf accounts from contacting people. I keep getting smurf accounts messaging me about my age and whether or not im single. This is a gaming platform not
a dating site. I understand that some people do date one another from xbox live but I didn't buy a xbox to have seemingly random people try to pick me up. simply unacceptable. it needs to be a option to block these type of accounts and the simplest way I can
think is requiring them to get a achievement. That at least shows they have played something and aren't just trying to catfish somebody. ive tried to contact support about this issue and was redirected to reddit to voice my concern..... I DONT PAY REDDIT FOR
ANY SERVICE THUS SHOULDNT HAVE TO GO TO A SUBPAGE TO GET IT RESOLVED. The other option I was given was to set my xbox to child mode so only people I have friended can msg me. This is unacceptable I play online games with people I do not know thus would hinder
every game I play and on top of that I will not friend every single person I end up playing with just so I can experience the game in full. It can be enjoyable to get that good game msg after I play against somebody. As well as the occasional you suck msg.
if I wanted people who didn't play games to msg me for any other purpose I would use those corisponding platforms not xbox live. with no ability to contact enforcement directly support it feels inadequate. Please excuse my grammar/spelling.

I haven't had that much trouble with these types of accounts, I usually just report or block them. I don't think its a good idea to block off messaging and friend requests to newbie accounts, that just creates a barrier to entry for any legitimate new
users.

Its been happening a lot of late, its most likely a bot, they block them for so long then it doesn't take too long before they get in again, all i can recommend is mute-block-report, enforcement will do the rest

Honestly I also believe something should be done about this, it's not the reason I buy gold and if I did what they asked I'd never be able to play my xbox or go live and stream which is my intention after all

I think the bots are created in waves, annoying as hell when playing online and you get spammed. But most of the time I end up just blocking spam/abuse and moving on.
