Microsoft announces new Xbox Live Community programs

Microsoft has announced the launch of beta stage for a new community feature tentatively called Xbox Enforcement United.

Members who join the Enforcement United beta will participate by providing their opinions on whether particular content, initially Gamertags, violate the Xbox Live Code of Conduct. These decisions from participants feed into an algorithm that the Xbox Live Policy and Enforcement Team has developed. That algorithm takes several factors into account like how many participants believe there had been a violation and how reliably those individual members’ historical decisions aligned with the general consensus. The system can then determine whether or not to apply an enforcement action like requiring a Gamertag change, or if the complaint should be escalated for review by Xbox staff.

The system is said to continually calibrate itself to understand how reliable the data is and the sources it comes from.

Also launching today is Xbox Community Level, a new site where Xbox Live members can earn rewards and recognition for contributing to the Xbox Live community through programs like the Enforcement United beta and the long-standing Xbox Live Ambassadors.

Current Xbox Live Ambassadors who meet qualifying criteria can register now to get involved in the Enforcement United beta. More Xbox Live members can join the program when it officially launches in the coming months.
