I’ve received quite a few emails and messages throughout the existence of Xbox Live and the introduction of gamer cards concerning inappropriate mottos as well as inappropriate gamertags. I’ve had a few shows in fact with many of you voicing your concerns about using the report system and how effective it really is.
Well the system has been updated to deal with these complaints a lot faster. So if you come across a disturbing motto or an offensive gamertag, use the in-console complaint system. I expect everyone to help police Xbox Live so that we can all enjoy a better online environment.
Here’s what you do for those unaware:
- go to your recent players list (previous players)
- select the gamer card you wish to file a complaint on
- go to File Complaint > File Complaint > Profile & Content > Gamertag or Motto > File Complaint
- when you see the little gavel icon, you’re finished

So does your reputation start at 5 stars and go down, or do you have to build it up. Just wondering because I have 3 out of 5 stars. Does this mean someone has filed a complaint about me? Is there a way to view filed complaints. I just want to know what I did wrong.
