Someone is sending me a bunch of bot followers and I’m afraid my account will get banned

Hi 𝐻𝓍𝓃𝓃𝓎. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Thank you for posting on the Xbox Communities Forum. I understand how frustrating it must be that you're receiving bot followers on your profile.

Rest assured, if you aren't giving yourself followers, you will not be suspended. Bot accounts are usually removed eventually, but it can take some time for Xbox to discover these accounts and flag them as bots.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

Yes i understand i have been banned for botted followers but what im saying I DID NOT bot the followers. People use a tool to bot follow someone’s account and the account owner pays the price for SOMEONE ELSE bot following THEIR account do you not understand how this is wrong? It is entirely out of my control i cant stop someone from spamming bots to follow my account and the enforcement team knows this. Like i could find someone to bot follow someone’s account and result in their account getting banned how is that even legal or fair? I understand there is nothing you can do to help except send the same enforcement link which doesnt do anything as my appeal was already denied but i am posting this to spread awareness to other players that may have the same issue. Microsoft need to fix this immediately it is wrong to permanently ban someone for someone else bot following their account making me lose all my games and content i have paid for and all my progress over 16+ years with 111k gamerscore.

Thanks for the response. I believe he has done this and it sounds like that’s all he can do.

My suspicion is that his account was hacked and used to mass send bot messages to people. Either that or someone with a grudge must have gotten a bunch of friends to mass report him. I’m not sure how it works but permanent ban seems really excessive for someone who’s never recieved a ban or negative reputation.

hi i was wondering can i get banned for botted xbox followers someone botted me and im very scared

The reasons why an account is permanently banned are clearly outlined in the Xbox Code of Conduct and the Microsoft Terms of Service
