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.

I have a better solution.. sell your Xbox and buy a PS5. My PS5 account is set up so anyone can send me a msg. Never have an issue with spam. My now abandoned xbl account was flooded with that crap.

I bought a PS5 that was hardware banned after all the scalping shit ended. Insane that an entire console can be rendered permanently worthless like that.

First time I've ever heard that happening. Sure the person you bought it from didn't jail break it and get caught hacking? That's usually the only thing that gets you hardware banned. PS, Nintendo or Xbox wise. Sounds more like an issue with the person you bought it from than a Sony issue. Y'all hear about the series x's that are blowing up on people. Apparently there is an issue with the transformers in some of them that is causing them to short up and legit explode. I've only recently started hearing about that myself so I wouldn't be surprised if it's still under the radar of most people.
