Microsoft lays down trash law for Xbox Live

As with many things, some people can ruin an experience for everyone else. Microsoft has formalized the Xbox Live Recycle Bin definition with a new set of rules for the service.

On Tuesday, Microsoft released its community standards for the Xbox that it describes as "a roadmap to contribute to this incredible global community." One topic is what can or can not be said.

Here are some examples of garbage-free discussions that are no longer allowed:

• Tell other players to "kill themselves (KYS)" or to harm themselves
• Threatening someone with physical aggression after an intense part
• Sending homophobic messages to other players
• Respond to someone's smack with sexual insults
• Make fun of the identity or personal traits of other people

Insulting a player based on his skill level is always allowed, meaning that players can say that someone aspires during the match. But they might have to be more creative with their insults.

The standards also set out some pretty obvious reasons for banning services, such as uploading photos of animal abuse, offering price in exchange for follow ups and claiming money. be a Microsoft employee or a game developer.

There are also rules that relieve many players, such as prohibiting players from sending repeated game invitations to players who have not shown interest, "deliberately teaming up" with other players, and Flood of voice chat with music during a multiplayer match. .

Those who break the rules will be subject to a temporary suspension that may include restrictions on the use of online multiplayer mode, blocking voice and text communications and the inability to broadcast live stream. Recidivists or serious offenders can be suspended permanently from Xbox Live.

"The Xbox Community Standards, released April 30th, make it easier to understand what kind of behavior is acceptable on Xbox Live and what is not, and how to contribute positively to the community. Xbox world to make it safe, welcoming and inclusive of everyone, "said a spokesman for Microsoft in an email. "Standards are not a new set of rules, but a call to action that allows each player to evaluate his behavior and adapt to it in order to become a force for the good. . "
