Toxicity - Overload?

Now I don't mind a bit of back and forth, but every now and then you get into an exchange with someone that's so absurd that the normal report functions seem insufficient.

Enter, last night. I was on Smite, a game fairly infamous for it's levels of toxicity as it is. Now I'm no pro player myself, but this person was not a good Smite player. The fact I was having to babysit him constantly was having a negative effect on everyone
else on our team. To cut a long story short, it was my last game of the evening; he was spamming in-game communication throughout and after a while, I just got tired of it. So rather than retaliate, I just left. Crazy, right?

I've attached screenshots of the messages I received as a result. I played it off, of course, but the fact that this person went from 0-100 this quick is concerning. You can see that he offered payment for my details, used racist and aggressive language
and even used mis-spelling and punctuation as ways to try and circumvent actually swearing.

I have filed a complaint against him with Xbox, both on console and via live chat. Next up is Youtube because as you can see, this person is a content creator!! I visited their YT and that term is used loosely, but I digress.

Share your own experiences of toxicity on XBL, let this be a place to vent!

Toxicity

While this can clearly be frustrating, it's important to let enforcement do their jobs and leave the 'calling out' to them. As someone else stated, just report and move on and don't be afraid to mute/block/report at the first signs of TOS violations.

 

Toxicity

Hey there Xbox Fans!

I will be closing this thread as it is linked to a post from over a year ago. You are more than welcomed to start your own, I am pretty sure other gamers would like to bring their ideas into the subject.

Thank you! (ノ≥∇≤)ノ

 

Hi, you shouldn't call out another gamer on the forums, it is a violation. You shouls d use the report feature on Xbox for each message that violates the code of conduct. Then mute and block the player. Let enforcement deal with this.

 

Hi Njal, I did just that and I've spoken to someone through Live Chat; they actually told me to post the messages on the forum so other people were aware of it...should I remove the discussion?

 

Whilst I fully understand the reasoning, you were given wrong advice. If you can edit out the gamertag all is fine. Don't want you getting any actions against you.

 

Noted. I don't think I can amend the post as it has comments on it. Can you remove yours and I'll just delete it.

Thanks

 

He thinks he is clever, messaging you as he has. Probably thinks he has found a way round enforcement action but he will get a shock. Using special characters, acronyms or missing letters out, does not avoid action.

 

Oh he knew exactly what he was doing!

I've made some adjustments Njal. Any better?

 

You just needed to report him and block him why didn't you did that after the 1st message?

 

I actually blocked him after the second but messages kept coming through. His profile then only had the option to 'unblock him'.

 

I find it best to ignore people like this. Report the player for harassment and block him, report every single message they sent.

 

Yes, that keeps you safe.

Enforcement will catch up with him, if they haven't already it will be soon. I hope you reported all the messages.

 

You did the right thing reporting this player. MS will make sure that they are dealt with appropriately.
