Microsoft launches Xbox Enforcement United program

Sounds like this could be a horrible mess of a system. It means that the court of public opinion chooses things such as hate-speech. So for example, if a gamertag has a name which is racist or homophobic, and other hateful people cause it to be deemed "Acceptable" then the term could remain in place for the gamertag despite it being hurtful to the segment of society affected.

they don`t call XB1 spybot for nothing..........

Sounds like MS is opening a horrible can of worms. There is nothing like having gamers spy on each other and becoming global rats. The way I see it if you're not on my friends list on Live I don't care what you do. lol I added you because I wanted you there and enjoyed having you as a friend. I'm not there to judge you by my standards. If you offend me, "BLOCK" is there for a reason.

If you sprinkle bear, when you tinkle bear, be a sweetie bear and wipe the seatie bear.

Poor Johny if he has to read through all these comments..

"Sprinkle Bear". The only good thing to come out of X1.

Ok don't go overboard and "politically correct" the realm of gamers some people in this world still know that "stick and stones can break there bones but words cant hurt them" also some people don't think that expressing a somehow "unpopular" view is hate speech.

this is really bad!!! buthurt call of duty player will abuse this like crazy so even good players gonna get reported as bad players

XBOX ONE Violates the Code of Conduct. PERIOD

This is a good program

Can't see why people complaining about

anyone there?

Sprinkle Bear: OFFENSIVE

i guess this is a good thing. i figured since they are going to be watching player activity through the kinect, they would handout bans through that device

Microsofts version of the Stasi...... JK.

Well at least this should create some interesting raids

Sounds like a great idea a bunch of whiners telling me what content I can and cant have on a service I pay for. Thanks M$, getting real tired of your shit.

The worst idea I have ever heard. Let the prisoners run the prison. This will not end well. On one side you will have offensive content to the extreme and on the other you will have over restricting. You honestly cannot let people judge such a criteria.

Xbone sucks

If only Gamespot and other sites like this had some kind of police policy I feel there wouldn't be an overabundance of trolls and jerkwads.

its skynet i tell you

this could be a good idea, except for the part that it's player-run.

This article was a place of a great war.

Time to finally put the children in check lol

This definitely won't be abused at all.

You know folks I played a console MMORPG called EQOA everquest online adventures for the ps2 a long time back. This is when I learned that gaming communities self policing themselves will simply never work in theory or implementation. It may save publishers/developers money - but it never works.

As a fan of D&D, though never getting to play it as much as I wanted to back in the 80's - I quickly learned the need and importance of the gamemaster or GMs. Making you own rules in sand box style games is a blast until you add a community. Because whenever there is a winner that means the other half is losing. So that mmorpg I mentioned above lost vital developer support and the staff was reduced to one part time GM and a weekend janitor to manage the game. SOE decided to allow the gamers themselves to police the game - if they saw abuses in the game they could report the abuse to gms and if they saw enough of the same kind action would be taken. As you can imagine - abuse, and glitches abound with no one around to control the game- people left by the droves.

Point is - if you are going to make a community game - then there needs to be clearly set rules and gms and devs willing and able to manage the game to those rules. Balancing and changes of course as needed. That is why the above will simply not work, and using and algorithm to adjust priority is laughable. I may save them a few bucks but will lose players by the 1000's.

spybot at it`s finest..

Xbox One only does one thing. Suck.

Wow there use to be like 50 comments a minute on this article now it seems pretty dead.

xbox live is full of 12 yr old racists. plug in the headphones but don't wear them. they get to yell and curse and scream at... no one, lol. seriously, parents really need to go back to the old ways of discipline. too scared johnny will get mad at them and not be their friend anymore.... pathetic!!

BRAZZERS

I guess this explain why the eye of sauron is mandatory on the xbone.. You are all f**ked!!! ENJOY

From someone who has actually done this ... you're expected to review the Xbox Code of Conduct to make an honest interpretation if the gamertag presented does meet the CoC or doesn't. Some were obviously clean, some were obviously not, and some were right on the border. Since just about everyone will get the same batch, and most likely (considering the requirements to enter the beta) everyone will think the same thing, I seriously doubt there will be many (if any) 50/50 splits. And again, Microsoft has final say, just as they already do.

One thing that was missing from the report. If you're not sure, you can skip the decision and move on to another.

If you see any suspicious activity from one of your fellow citizens, please report them to your nearest XEU representative. We are watching you, because we care. Microsoft is your friend.

--- end of message ---

I'm sure this won't be abused at all...
