Xbox One's Reputation System Locks Harassers Into Their Own Hell

This looks like a really good idea, the first good idea from Microsoft since the Xbox One reveal. And the people aren't even being banned, they are just put into servers with people who think like them, I think even they will have more fun like that.
Why hasn't this problem been seen on PS3, is it because of its focus on single-player content?
By the way, I am a PC exclusive gamer but would buy the PS3 and 4 for the exclusives if I could afford it.

Reddit suffers the problem as you describe it. Microsoft would be wise to look at them and consider how they avoid that pitfall.Jandau said:
Microsoft has a good idea regarding the XBone?!?
WHAT'S HAPPENING!?!?
Seriously, though...this is good to hear. It's not enough to make me reverse my decision that buying a PS4 is the better option, but at least they're releasing information on policies that are good for the players instead of just continuing their bad PR/marketing streak.

Is anyone actually going to read that it isnt an automated system? It probably works that when a Xbox Live mod investigates you, they can drop you down a level if they see something wrong.
Seriously, all the freaking Microsoft haters on this freakin site.
And no, I dont intend to get an X1, but fucking seriously, please read and say "Oh, thats a good thing, except for the rest of your console."
EDIT: Only read the first page, mah bad awesome people at the top of Page 2. Just got off my run and feel exhausted.

As fun as overgeneralizations are, my experience has been that most people don't talk at all. And the ones that do are promptly muted if they're annoying/blasting crappy music.southparkdudz said:
How dare they... griefing is a legitimate recreational activity!
That and think of how many people are going to abuse the system to take down anyone who beats them, really good players could get in hot water fast for "cheating".

Like everyone else I think it sounds nice, but can't function without alot of man power and moderation on MS's part. I recall playing a FPS for the first time, I think it was a F2P game or something, and I sucked at it. No, I was getting my butt kicked left and right for nearly an hour. From match to match I slowly got better. Fast forward and I got into a match where I hit my stride. I started getting more kills than deaths. When the match ended I got message from a player on the opposite team "You're a hacker, I'm going to report you." I tried to respond, but he had blocked me. Seems I had killed him more than 4 times in the previous match. I do well in one match out of six (or eight) and I'm suddenly a hacker? Nothing came of it, but just sore losers or jerks might abuse such a system. Is MS going to investigate each claim? Maybe they're going to use the Kinetic 2.0 to confirm things. That would make sense. Playback of the incident through their all seeing eye.
Hah. This sounds great. You mean I'll have to abuse a few casuals before I'm shunted into a hardcore-only bracket?
Fuck yes.
Fuck yes.
You are assuming that it will work through votes. If that is true then Microsoft's new system is a failure before it even begins. I don't think they are taking such a simple approach though. Either way it will be interesting to see how it plays out.Suave Charlie said:
Most of my negative feedback on the 360 is due to "trash talking," which is funny considering I rarely use a mic outside of parties with my friends. Several of my friends have this as well. So yeah, I can imagine this will be a clusterfuck once people decide to start abusing it.Angelous Wang said:
Also, I'm yet to see a single person get so much as a suspension for sexual/racial/sexuality base harassment. Including this one dude who kept stalking me and sending me messages calling me a ****** (and telling me to kill myself or die or whatever else he could come up with). They say they take this seriously, but...I don't believe them.
Sounds a good idea to me, something MS have done right! However it will really be Call of Duty: Ghosts - as there will be no one on it!
Because they're naming it after their current system that relies on user feedback (votes).Amir Kondori said:
Even the statements seem to imply this. The only exception is the bit about it not being automatic, and that is proceeded by a statement that makes it look less than reviewed.
I see this a lot on this forum. Especially when it has to do with the XBone. I get it, people here don't like microsoft and are happy to bash it every chance they get. It doesn't matter what the OP says, they'll ignore it anyway or read what they want out of it. Sad really because to hate something at all takes an amount of caring and that takes energy. Energy best spent on something else.lacktheknack said:
OT: I've read the numerous responses on the XBL's current rep system... I have played since 2007 online, many different MP matches and styles and have yet to dip below 5 stars, even when I was running the maps in FFA/TD Modern Warfare 2. It makes me wonder what games these low rep "great people" played and how. Mass rep reporting just seems like something the XBLPET would catch on to and adjust accordingly.
... Yeah I'm still not shelling out for this system until or unless they drop the Kinect requirement.
The only thing that I don't like about this is that occasionally, especially when I'm playing SWAT, I get frustrated and swear complaining of my own skill level. I don't want to end up with the people that would call me a "******" or any other derogatory word. I think that swearing should just be looked at as normal. It's the insults that matter.
I can't imagine anything better than throwing all the vulgar twelve year old in one eternal gaming pit of hell.
