Is it just me, or does it seem that 'Reputation' on Xbox Live is actually just a measure of how popular a person is, and not whether they are a good/honest player?

Yes. It seems whenever I play a particularly good match on COD4 someone avoids me for trash-talking or something.

Last time I checked I had 70% unsporting and 10% trashtalk. got the unsporting rating for Gears because I "stole" someones kill(yeah it happens). talk about crybabies:P

I dont know where I got the trashtalk thing. cant recall a moment where I insulted someone or used trashtalk so badly.

Yeah, I've got like 100% of the people who avoided me saying that I was 'unsporting' probably because I played the game the way it should be played. When someone shoots a guy until he's in last stand on COD4, and then the guy kills the guy who shot him to get him in last stand, and is then shooting at me with a deagle, I'm GOING to kill the guy before he kills me. Which results in me 'stealing' the guy's kill.

question though, do you have a 5star rating?

I only use negative feedback on a person if they really do something to deserve it. It has to be BAD, like modding or standbying or really cussing me out to the point where I care enough to spend 25-30 seconds of my time to worry enough about it to file the complaint. As far as receiving complaints, I'm still at 5 stars and my preferred rating is like 68% and that all comes from sore losers. I love the "overly aggressive" category though. Like I'm not gonna take it to a person in Halo, right?

The reputation feature is flawed and does not effectively do anything. It lacks any substance and a new system should be implemented.

This.

I'm apparently avoided by 33% of people, 50% of them said I was "aggressive", 25 that I "quit early" and 25% because I am "unsporting".

First of all, I don't know how you can report someone for being 'aggressive'. What does that even entail?

Furthermore, I never even use my Mic, nor have i quit early. I've never annoyed anyone as far as I know, so if 33% of people I've played with are avoiding me.. ermm..

Conclusion: Current system makes no sense, but if they improve it and make it useful and make sense, it could be decent.

The only thing I can think of is that the percentage avoided is relative to the percentage who prefer.

IE, 100% either avoid or prefer. If 33% avoid, that means 67% prefer.

Which really puts the amount who avoid at about .5%

Does anything happen when you hit 100% avoided? Like a couple day suspension or something? I'm well on my way there thanks to Rainbow Six: Vegas. People just love to leave bad feedback on that game for no reason. I'm at 60% avoided now.

I've been stuck at 3 & 1/2 stars for like a year now. I had 60% avoided, 66% agressive....as if. Its so flawed, there is no accountability. Luckily I'm now up to 50% prefer 50% avoid...but no change on the star front yet :(

I just find it funny that some people have given me bad reps just because I do better than them in a game. I don't even bother messing with other people's rep unless it's a friend and I want to prefer him. Rep is worthless.

I couldn't agree more. I've had 5 stars and lost it FIVE times within three months. The Xbox live rep system is ridiculously a piece of u know what, considering the fact that 3/4 of the people I play with prefer me, yet I still have 4 1/2 stars. If u ask me, the whole system needs to be terminated completely. I'm tired of having to constantly please people in order to have a good rep: It's stupid. That area of the gamercard should be replaced by something that's assoicated with ur gamerscore or the types of games u play, not if people like you or not. Who knows? Maybe someone from Xboxx will read this and consider it, becuase I'm clearly not the only one who's p.oed about this.

Rep means nothing to me. Unless there was some sort of penalty for bad players, it's useless.

78% avoided =S

42% say unsporting conduct, and 28% say i quit early, which i fair tbh, because i quit halo 3 games quite a lot.

unsporting conduct i dont understand though, i'm not unsporting in any way other than teabagging people who teabag me first... or who are annoying

still full 5-star rating though =/

I have been a xbox live gold user for 2 years ( really 3 years but I left xbox for like a year and came back). Anyway I have 80% avoided and 20% percent prefered. I am a nice gamer really. I don't do much trash talking and of I do I do it in a joking/ friendly way. Now there have been times when I lost my cool. Usually with the real a holes of xbox live like the random idiots who take the game to seriously, racist, and just general a holes. People only rate you to give negative reviews. Rarely do people give players good reviews.

I laugh at that reputation system. No one cares, no looks at it, not useful for anything. Nobody is going to leave a lobby when they see your reputation is at 100% avoided.

I've had my Xbox since October, I'm at 25% avoided, and 100% unsporting. What does that even mean? Best I can tell is someone did that when I got bored in COD4 and started hiding and telling people "free kill" if they can find me.

No it's not pointless. It's better than creating 20 thousand topics a day talking about the same thing. If anything YOUR post was pointless and added nothing to the discussion.

oh i get mad on gta race mode-not gta race but the race mode ,because people drive backwards that right there warrants me to do either the following avoid the player and if that dont work report him for cheating( driving backwards etc ) then ya i do trash talk but only when they make me mad,

by continusly doing what their not supposed to do especally in team based games i will yell at the person on my team for killing me ,

i remember one time on quantum of solace this kid shot me and i was on his team so i yelled at him like hey what are you doing then he gave me negative feedback saying trash talk-since when is yelling hey what are you doing trash tal k lol

over years i learned it is pointless. 

people abuse it anyways, just for losing. not cheating, spamming, or being bad...just angry at losing.
