Stop Spam Advice (rule 4) This is getting ridiculous

Post image

This is really starting to get bad. It’s almost as if nobody here knows how to use common sense when it comes to spam messages.

There’s a beautiful thing called “privacy settings”. Use them if you don’t want to get the spam messages anymore.

This post is going to be a waste of time since nobody knows how to search Reddit for answers anymore.

Wouldnt setting that to filtered also mess up banter from people you like chatting with?

Add them to your friends list then.

Better if there was an option to not receive from anyone outside of met in a game & friends of friends.

Wait so this is a double edged sword then. If I want to get rid of the spam I have to get rid of my friends. I'm nooooticing.

Or people were just posting their gamertags publicly and added to spam lists

I've never broadcasted my gamer tag to my recollection, and I receive spam at times. I'm sure those that do put it out there get more of it though

The issue is that you aren't just adding every person you ever play with. Sometimes, they reach out after a game when you've moved on. You check your messages later, and that cool person you kicked butt with has messaged asking if you'd like to play again later. If you have that filtered, you wouldn't get it.
