    Why are there no consequences for careless people harassing and threatening online?


    I love Xbox. Ive played with Xbox consoles for a long time, and 80% of the time enjoy it.

    But theres that 20%. The 20% where I am being harassed, threatened, etc on xbox chats and parties. For instance, today, this teenager didnt like that I left his group, so he began telling me things like go to [mod removed], that im a dumb [mod removed], telling me to die, etc. I block and report. And then he continues on not 1,2,3, but 4 other accounts to tell me these things. Block and report- no action taken.

    But, someone can say something like “oh that game was [mod removed] and receive a ban?

    Why are people allowed to threaten and harass members and get away with it? Does Xbox not care about the children that play here? Or the people that may suffer with depression or suicidal thoughts?

    Why do these kids and often adults get to say these things, laugh it off, and continue playing and do it to someone else?

    I dont expect any action to be taken, I know there wont, no matter how many reports or accounts this guy makes, and I know there are much more out there.

    Wish Xbox/Microsoft cared enough to do something about it.

    :)

    Also to add, Xbox should add a option to block accounts from by the same xbox as the main account originally blocked (if that makes sense).

    Clearly there is no way to get around this, and Microsoft will surely say “well you can turn your privacy settings on”, nobody wants to do that. Maybe make a friendly safe environment. Maybe ban people who so carelessly through around life threats like a joke.

    So angry.

    Why are there no consequences for careless people harassing and threatening online?

    There is consequences but you are forgetting the most important point

    If you are retaliating you are endorsing their behaviour

    Trashtalking is allowed in moderation

    But if you do not wish to talk to someone stop talking to them and block them

    Communication suspensions just mean they can't msg not necessarily gameplay

    And if you are still talking to them you ain't doing your job and yes enforcement sees that

    As they LOOK At THE WHOLE conversation

    If you break the rules also you will get punished

    People do harass within the rules or just do it to get a retailiation they can report

    And then they just make a new account to continue

    That's called a troll

    If you fall for it it's on YOU

    This is why safeties are in place

    For you to use

    If you don't use them and retaliate by continue to harass them too

    What do you expect to happen as the rules apply to you too

    And yes they troll you for an reaction that is human nature

    Tell us when you create an invention that blocks free will let us know I'm sure people will buy it

    What you are suggesting isn't possible

    Free will can't be controlled

    By retaliating you are just being the same as the other person

    And spam reporting actually looks badly on you

    If you its an inaccurate report your accuracy drops

    This is why you use privacy settings and reporting and blocking not retailiating

    You learn this in grade school

    You can't fight back without consequences

    I did when I wa sbullied yes I wasn't punished tools a 7 year old kid at school and I swung back

    Eventually we made up as we took classes with a speech teacher

    Later met at a concert years later and I met the speech teacher as she was the wife of the principle at my 5th school since then

    Why wouldn't you want to set privacy on

    It does NOT stop you from making friends just NOT some random person trying to spam or harassment you

    @op turn on contacts to friends only and stop msging the harasser

    Do NOT retaliate with msgs which leaves you.open to enforcement the rules apply to everyone not just them

    just report and block it's that simple

    Contacts to friends only doesn't allow other person to contact you with an random account and you shouldn't be accepting random msgs or friend requests

    You still have party chat and lfg and pm for people you play with

    And no you do NOT find out about any enforcement actions taken against the other person as it's none of your business

    If you had blocked them then you wouldn't know about his status would you as he would be invisible to you

    If you retaliate the rules can apply to you if you break the rules too

    Reporting someone is NOT retailiation

    However harassing him back or trashtalk is

    And it actually unblocks the person till you block him again

    This is why common sense needs to be used

    I understand that, thank you mate.

    I mean this respectfully, I (and others) dont want to do that nor should we have to. We should expect a safe environment as thats what it is supposed to be.

    Also, I wasnt asking for the outcome, I respect that privacy. The post is why are there no consequences. That was my point I was trying to make. You and I both know this man and alike wont have anything happen yet anyone can be banned for a simple f bomb with the boys.

    I respect your view though, and thank you for commenting. I just wanted to point out nothing happens to these people.

    Have a blessed day, gamer !
