>Microsoft updated the code of conduct for using Xbox Live with a new Community Standards Page over on the official Xbox website. The updated page went live on May 1st, 2019, outlining the encouragement of safe “trash talk” and discouraging “problematic” content and behavior.
>The outlines consist of topics such as:
<1. Keep it Legal
<2. Do Your Part To Keep Everyone Safe
<3. Turn That Spam Into Substance
<4. Keep Your Content Clean
<5. Fraud Benefits No One
<6. Where There Are Limits, There’s A Reason
<7. Harmful Behavior Has No Place On Xbox
<8. Respect The Rights Of Others
<9. Always Respect The Privacy of Others
<10. Be A Force For Good, Even When Others Aren’t
>If some of those sound reasonable and others sound like “sensitivity training” ushered in by Social Justice Warriors, then you hit the nail on the head. For example, there’s a section telling gamers to be “welcoming and inclusive”. This is not a joke.
<Harassment and hate take many forms, but none have a home on Xbox. To make Xbox Live a place where everyone can hang out, and to prevent people from feeling uncomfortable or unwelcome, we all need to be stewards. This means more than just not harassing other players—it means embracing them. It means saving those unsavory jokes for people you know will enjoy them. It means taking particular care for others while you play, keeping in mind how they might interpret your content.
>They list a number of things you cannot do, which includes:
<Make fun of other people’s identities or personal traits
<Send harassing or abusive messages
<Use a club to shame other players or groups
<Start a broadcast in order to troll someone
<Flood voice chat with music during a multiplayer match
<Post game clips that will offend many others
<Xbox Live is your gaming network, but it’s everyone else’s too. We encourage showing off what makes you unique and awesome, but it’s not cool to post something that keeps others from having positive experiences. We aspire to a community where gaming can be enjoyed by all. Problematic content just gets in the way. If you’re looking for a place on the internet to be overly edgy or get that rise out of people, Xbox isn’t the place for you
<We may permanently suspend a profile or device if we can no longer trust it due to a severe violation, or if our attempts to correct repeated negative behaviors are unsuccessful. Under permanent suspension, the owner of the suspended profile forfeits all licenses for games and other content, Gold membership time, and Microsoft account balances.
Seriously, What the fuck is acceptable trash talk?
