Spam is one of the biggest issues facing the internet, with Statista reporting that according to its research, over 56% of all emails sent were detected as spam. PlayStation Network users recently experienced a similar influx of spam messages, after a tool was developed that allowed a person to flood a specific PSN subscribers' inbox with millions of custom, or predefined messages. In 2015, Microsoft experienced the same issue and implemented new privacy controls into the Xbox One, allowing users the ability to choose only to receive messages from their confirmed friends, by updating the privacy settings. Please discuss how much you hate robots here and/or in /r/TOTALLYNOTROBOTS We have never made a megathread about the bots in the past, but the sheer number of people demainding one has forced our hands. Do your part! These spam rings pop up a couple of times a year, and get squished by MS pretty quick. Reporting the message, not the user, makes this easier for the enforcement team to take action. In the mean time, each time you get a spam message ensure you report the message itself - Not the account - from within the xbox, and also block the user. We mods have contacted MS about it, and they are well aware of it, and working day and night to fight against it. This is a widespread issue, and we know it sucks. You may recieve weird messages from people you do not know. The full statement is as follows:įirst things first - There is currently a wave of spam bots sending messages to random xbox live users. However, most recently, this problem has gotten so bad that users on Reddit have created a mega thread of over 3,000 complaints regarding this issue.Ī response posted by one of the moderators of the Xbox One subreddit details that Microsoft has been contacted and is aware of the issue.
If you're subscribed to the Xbox Live service, getting random unsolicited messages from accounts with no gamer score is something that one gets used to after a while.
