Microsoft recruiting players to hunt Xbox trolls

Microsoft is rolling out a pair of new initiatives to help hunt down their trolls. The first is Enforcement United, where Xbox players can sign up to serve justice to players who may be making the community a worse place. The second is Xbox Community Level, a program where players can level up and earn rewards by being a positive member of the Xbox Live collective, like volunteering for Enforcement United.

At first, players will only be judging the appropriateness of other players’ Gamertags, looking for potentially bad ones that the built in filters didn’t catch. Despite present restrictions, attention-seeking players always seem to find a way to use numbers and wonky letters to spell out offensive identifiers for themselves.
There will be a system of checks and balances in place so players aren’t just arbitrarily punished, though I expect there will be some level of false positives as always tends to happen with “tribunal” style community judgment systems like this one. That said, I think it’s a good idea and could help, at least to some degree, to make gaming on Xbox Live more livable. Enforcement United is in its beta phase with this Gamertag analysis program, but there’s no reason to think it couldn’t extend to other aspects of someone’s profile or online habits as well.

This is dumb. I wonder if WhitePplProblms is considered offensive to some people.

I read the title and I knew that someone would reply with another "this is stupid" comment.

It is only open to Ambassadors right now and since I am an Ambassador I signed up yesterday to see what it's like.
You people wouldn't believe the gamertags that people had turned in for being "offensive" I think out of the 60 I looked it there were maybe 10 that would be considered to be against the Xbox ToS. The rest were leet speak or normal gamertags.
My guess is that it is the result of a bunch of 12 year olds getting owned on CoD so they just report you for everything they can. Luckily the algorithm Xbox has in place punishes you for turning in false reports to a point that they won't even look at reports from repeat offenders.

I cannot figure out how to get this...I qualify based on the criteria, but it just gives me a red X

i've only turned in 2 tags out of 100(seemed like) as offensive
If your going to try and being vulgar, at least be creative.
I would turn in every MLG, tags that have XX or zz to start and end, or ones that have sniper in them, but they wanted you to be realistic.
they give you about 30-40 to go through, i doubt many people will stick to it, it becomes tedious, with all of the normal nicks being turned in.
i had one that was Rob1979, i was like seriously??

Remove the 1 and 7 and you have 99. Turn one of those 9's upside down and you have 69. That Rob was sneaky, but not sneaky enough.

i lick childrens clits in a creative way or i like childrens clits.

Why isn't the NSA involved here?
I bet Snowden was an ambassador

Just signed up for it to see how it works

I went through a group of names. Laughed a few times. It made me feel like the oblivious faculty supervisor who doesn't get the jokes the students are slipping by. I'm sure some were offensive and I couldn't decipher it--but that's okay, the point should be blatantly offensive anyway. I bet they got a big response for the Beta from that Forbes article because the website got stuck with "Working....hang on" a few times.

I turned in one before it froze up. obamafuxdogs was one. While my political views are what they are, I did turn that one in. Are the ones we are "checking", ones that have been reported to Xbox or just random names?
P.S. NSA. These are not expressively my beliefs. They are mindless internet chatter.
eta: Turned in only 2....OMGIseefatPUSY. Funny yes and I chuckled, but 2 out of 100 appears to be the norm based on Stout and others in the thread
