The Xbox One reputation system will not incorporate information from Xbox 360 users, meaning previous troublemakers will have a chance to make a fresh start.

As part of an IGN Q&A session, chief Xbox One platform architect Marc Whitten was asked whether everyone's reputation will carry over the two systems.

"We will not carry over any of the 360 reputation scores into the new Xbox One reputation system," Whitten replied. "The majority of members will start fresh at the 'good' player level."

Whitten also made it clear, however, that the more recent troublemakers will not receive this privilege. They will instead begin with a "needs work" reputation level.

"We will be working with the Xbox Live enforcement team that has identified a small subset of members that have recently had enforcement actions taken against them", Whitten explained.

"This will give those members a chance to prove they can participate on Live fairly, and are not automatically placed in the 'Avoid Me' classification where things like SmartMatch filtering will affect them."

Microsoft first discussed the Xbox One's 'advanced troll detection' in July, with Microsoft's senior product manager Mike Lavin explaining how it worked.

"There'll be very good things that happen to people that just play their games and are good participants," Lavin told OXM. "And you'll start to see some effects if you continue to play bad or, or harass other people en masse. You'll probably end up starting to play more with other people that are more similar to you."
