It looks like naughty Xbox Live users will be punished with Twitch cut-off and reduced matchmaking.
That's right, gamers who have a "negative impact" on the Xbox Live community will soon be handed penalties like reduced matchmaking pairings, and might even have access to Twitch revoked, Microsoft has announced.
Notifications for the Xbox One reputation system will start appearing this month, and there will be three types of reputation levels: “Good”, “Needs Work”, and “Avoid Me”.

Leveling Up Your Reputation: Notifications Coming Soon Last July, I gave you a preview of what to expect with reputation on Xbox One. Gaming has always been a social activity, and for Xbox One we redesigned the Xbox Live community-powered reputation system from Xbox 360 to help better inform players about their behavior in the community. On Xbox One, there are currently categories of player reputation score – "Green = Good Player," being the large majority of our users, "Yellow = Needs Work" and "Red = Avoid Me." By looking at someone’s Gamercard you’re able to quickly see their reputation. The more hours you play fairly online without being reported as abusive by other players, the better your reputation will be. The algorithm looks to identify players that are repeatedly disruptive across the community on Xbox Live. The vast majority of players do not regularly receive feedback from other players and, thus, will stay at the “Good Player” reputation level. Here’s what the reputation levels mean for you:
At the end of the day, our goal is to match you with other gamers you’ll enjoy, and create the best gaming community online. Visit the Xbox Live Policy and Enforcement page for more details on the Xbox One reputation system. |
So, there you have it. Xbox players, play nice!
