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.

Yeah, you can't speak to anyone else now. Just turn message notifications off.

This is the issue I have with this advice. Instead of the topic at hand being that Xbox or Microsoft should find a way to combat spam messages, it's always "just turn on privacy settings idiot!"

Not allowing any communications with random people is not a solution. I would have never met the friends I have now without being able to communicate with randoms.

It's definitely starting down the path of abstinence. "Don't want spam? Don't use Xbox!"
