  1. xbox live random account followers who you've not gamed with , no friends with, not even in...


    after asking this question:

    i keep getting random unsolicited users following me on my profile
    I go look at their profiles and it lists no friends but they follow thousands of users, and have low to no Gamerscore.
    what are they up to?, i did not play any games with them i am not looking for followers , and i just wanna block them from even interacting .
    I got a lot of useless just block them answers , but how can you block them when they are using symbol characters as their names?

    i have blocked them and reported them for a long time, and since many replies here have been useless expect a few , i am posting this again, so more action comes to this, some one needs to figure out and talk about how they are doing this and why, and Microsoft,
    needs more security on the creation of xbox live accounts and verification to slow the creation of this spam follower accounts .

    this was the best response but the settings are not useful, if there was one like block unsolicited followers as in they have not directly interacted with you as in they have not played a recent game, or liked a shared post in a club, or something like that.
    I kind of thin i am on that suggested friends list from another friend who is full of spammers following them, the privacy setting i want is like an opt out .

    i want my friend and people i played with to see my profile or clubs to see it, just not these out of the blue no gamer score accounts that have no friends.

    here is another post on the same topic i saw someone else have:

    "So recently I started getting random messages from accounts I've never seen before. One account by the name xxxx messaged me yesterday. It gave the spiel of how it found my GT through a friend search and proceeded to ask how old I was and if I was in a relationship
    before proceeding to give me the name of a site and how it would ask for my credit card for "age verification". Of course I didn't go to site but it just got me thinking about whether this kind of stuff has been ongoing or only recently became a problem. Another
    bot account had messaged me today with the exact same message so it did concern me a little bit. I took a screenshot of the exchange and blocked out the link to the scam site for obvious reasons"

    what i really want is for accounts that are not gold , and with less than 10k of gamer score to not even be able to message me , follow me or anything. in other words if they are not a regular gamer on xbox , i don't want anything to do with them. It should
    not be that hard for developers to make a option setting for that. Like do you want Non Gold accounts to be able to contact you. NO

    do you want accounts with less than 10k gamer score to be able to follow you NO.

    anyway here was the best response:

    To prevent this type of thing from happening more often, I recommend that you change your privacy settings on your own Xbox by following: Settings -> Account -> Online Privacy and Security -> Xbox Live Privacy -> View Details and Personalize. In this place
    you will have a lot more control of Who can really see details about you, your History, Your profile, Shares and etc.

    funny thing is I've already set this settings , and it's made little difference , since there is not any setting about followers .

    now before you reply see if you can learn about what is really going on , and why accounts are being made , and if it's really a bot then how is it done , who is promoting doing that and why ? where is this troll farm at who is causing this ?

    :)

    xbox live random account followers who you've not gamed with , no friends with, not even in a club with.

    my point is this should all be a opt out option, and already configured to were they can't follow you , but you still did not answer or say anything informative or even prove why and who promotes this kind of spamming.

    Hello...

    The same thing happens to me sometimes, but I do not pay much attention to it, you can change your settings in which they cannot send you a friend request and I know it is annoying, but you can block and report those who add you as (spam).

    regards!

    sorry my bad english.

    Out of my 3 yrs of owning an xbox 1, I havent found any problems with random people that i havent met in game or IRL friending or following me but in the past couple of days I have had 3 people follow and friend me who I have never seen in games. I checked
    their profile and they have over 900 friends who don't know them at all. And they haven't even done anything, 0 G points and they dont even have a record of game playing. Please fix this.

    Xbox live friends and followers

    I know that they cant see my feed the problem is even after blocking and muting someone who added me as a friend I still have that person as a follower that remains tied to my Xbox live account, and it is me who has to put up with seeing them

    Strange "followers"

    I have to agree the system is kind of creepy.

    Xbox Live does not request permission from you if a follower wants to add you (it does for friend requests though). If that's so, then in our interests, followers SHOULDN'T be able to view material which your "friends" can if in your privacy settings you've
    reserved things like online status/name/bio/all your friends gamertags on your friends list for "Friends Only". This is an integral part to your privacy rights and security on Xbox Live something which M takes seriously. They're not really a friend unless
    the system asks to accept or decline a friend request - they're a f-o-l-l-o-w-e-r.

    It would be good if Xbox Live asks permission to Accept or Decline a follower request or to Block follower requests all together. I'm not anti-social - I only want peps on my friends list or followers list if we know at least a bit about each other and hang
    out, not some random who you'll never get to really know. If I don't know at least a bit about you and you don't message me and we don't play the same games I will block you. I've had about 5 who have followed me. Blocked all of them because I knew nothing
    about them. Even Xbox 360 Notifications or when you check your friends list on 360 or xbox.com doesn't tell you you have followers even under messages on xbox.com. I find I have to log onto my xbox 1 console to check if I have followers.

    .

    It can be funny or if it makes you fell popular, but if you feel uncomfortable with it just block them (as soon as you find out ;D).
