Xbox One griefers may have Twitch privileges taken away

4.5
When Microsoft revealed its reputation system for Xbox One in July, it sought to match the worst members of the gaming community with one another based on a long-term gauge of their behavior in online games. Now, the console manufacturer will begin issuing warnings for those that fall into the "Needs Work" category of players following feedback from other members of the community. In an Xbox Wire blog, Microsoft said, "these warnings are based on community feedback collected since Xbox One launched," so bad reports from others shouldn't take effect from just a few weeks of play.

While Microsoft plans to "introduce rewards for good behavior," the more noteworthy course of action applies to the bottom-tier of the community. Those that fall into the "Avoid Me" category will see penalties on their account, such as "reduced matchmaking pairings" and restrictions on other Xbox Live functions, such as the ability to use "certain privileges such as Twitch broadcasting." Microsoft clarified in September that Xbox 360 reputation scores don't carry over to Xbox One.

I think its bs you go and pay 550$ for a game that tells you how to play or you will not be able to play it the same anymore. Control hungry.. I paid for it, I better be able to play it how ever I want. And use all the features I paid for. This is like buying a PC or a phone and being told I have to talk nice or type correctly or you can not use text anymore, or now you can't use Google chrome. its back to window explorer. Get the XXXX out.

I just don't see the point in this. It was like the 360 rep system that nobody used.

Doing this will just bring more attention to it, and once they find a loophole it'll be exploited even more.

Miss This is probably a bad idea since most people tend to want to avoid most players that are better than them.


Yeah I agree. I checked my rating board to see how many people voted to avoid me, and how many preferred me. It was like 86% voted to avoid me, while 16% voted to prefer me.

You're more likely to have someone report you for cheating/hacking/boosting/ect. because of something you did in a game, either good or bad, rather than a friendly fellow give you a positive rating because "you're a great player".

Hit the nail on the head right there. Who the hell says "gee, what a nice guy! I think i'll just spend the next 30 seconds of my life rating this wonderful person 5 stars because that's the normal thing to do... right? Right?"


then again who goes out of there way to try and avoid players when the odds of being paired up is extremely low.lol the whole thing should just be removed
