Microsoft: 'No more cheats or jerks' online for Xbox One

4.6
One of the most interesting things about Microsoft's plans for the Xbox One console is its player reputation system, where Xbox Live users will be rated according to their online game sportsmanship. Today, Microsoft's Xbox Live program manager Micheal Dunn offered up some more information on how this new system will work.

In a post on the Xbox Wire website, Dunn says that Microsoft will get direct feedback from players to rate others with this new system, such as when someone decides to mute a player while in an online match or block them from playing entirely. Dunn states, "The new model will take all of the feedback from a player’s online flow, put it in the system with a crazy algorithm we created and validated with an MSR PhD to make sure things are fair for everyone."

This special algorithm will take into account information about a player that normally plays well with others online but still manages to get a few bad feedback reports a month. According to Dunn:

The algorithm weighs the data collected so if a dozen people suddenly reporting a single user, the system will look at a variety of factors before docking their reputation. We’ll verify if those people actually played in an online game with the person reported – if not, all of those player’s feedback won’t matter as much as a single person who spent 15 minutes playing with the reported person. The system also looks at the reputation of the person reporting and the alleged offender, frequency of reports from a single user and a number of other factors.

The final result will be that every player will get a reputation score based on color. If you get a "green" score, it means that you have a good reputation, while a "yellow" color means you may need some sportsmanship improvements. A "red" score means that you are considered to be bad to play with. Dunn says that many alerts will be given to Xbox One online players before they are hit with the "Red-Avoid Me" reputation level.

Dunn says this system has been set up to make sure people who "don't want to play with cheats or jerks" should not have to do so when gaming online with their Xbox One console. He added that Microsoft will refine the system as it progresses and more bad consequences will be added to the people who get the virtual "Red" card.

i would have a red atm and i dont know why i play normal and people just give me bad rep because they get a little mad so would this mean i would have "consequences" for just playing games?

They never mentioned banning once in that above statement so all the whining people can just stop talking right about
......now, it clearly says reputation system not banning policy. It's about extending the current star rating to something more usable, if half of you actually took the time to read it properly then you'd know that.

lmao this will solve nothing, most people avoid players because of them being mat at each other, lik in cod, one player is good, the other player sucks, of coarse the bad kid will cuss and rage and just avoid and report aplayer for *cheating* when really that player isn't people will avoid an dblock players for the lolz now because of this new stupid system, but let's be honest here, when it comes to cod there will always be that one kid give me alobby, of coarse their is some nice hosters, and most people that mod that ik of don't mod in public game to mess it up, most people ik just mod online with friends an din private games for other players, if they feel nice, so this will not stop us *modders*/cheaters lmao not all of us are jerks.

SNG I think this is a good thing , im tired of all these kids that do nothing but talk crap to other gamers and never get banned for it .


Why should someone get banned for talking crap? Talking crap is basically part of online gaming and if you're one of the people that gets butthurt over some trashtalk on Live then you should just turn on "child settings" on your account that way you don't have to hear anybody but people on your friends list.
