Xbox Account BANNED for Bot Followers. It happened. It’s real… and it actually happened to someone. It doesn’t take a genius to know that using bots can get you banned from the Xbox Network. Microsoft apparently takes things like this seriously. And as much as it is against the Xbox Code of Conduct and Xbox ToS to use bots for any reason on the Xbox Network, I never seen Microsoft ban an account for it. It was one of those “unwritten rules.” “Don’t do it, you can get banned for it. I don’t know who gets banned for it since we never see it happen but just don’t do it.”

On Twitter, I received a DM from someone who claimed to had been permabanned for using bot followers on their Xbox account. They sent me a picture of their screen which showed the ban. The person who sent me this appealed this, believing this may have been some new Xbox Exploit with the use of bots. The appeal was denied, and the reason said it in 4K.
“Manipulating the followers or other data related to friends and followers through unauthorized software or unauthorized interactions with Xbox services.”
Microsoft ACTUALLY permanently banned someone for using bot followers. Something that isn’t usually heard of everyday. It was always clear to me that using Xbox Bots can get you permanently banned from Xbox Live. It’s against Microsoft’s ToS. But I never imagined it to be actively enforced.

Ever since the release of the Xbox One, the Xbox platform has been designed like a social media outlet. You can have followers, DMs, etc. All of these can be manipulated by bots. It happens on pretty much every social media platform in 2024. Yes, those followers are Xbox Bots. But why does something as simple as bot followers get you permabanned from Xbox? Isn’t that a little too extreme? Considering these bot followers were only following a single account. They weren’t used to “deteriorate” the Xbox service. Why not simply “correct” the followers after seeing they’re bots? That’s a simple, cheap, and effective solution. Instead, Xbox Enforcement bans an account permanently for it. If these bots were being used for “toxic purposes,” then I get it. But they were simply being used to make someone’s following appear larger. It didn’t hurt anyone. That’s a rule of the Xbox ToS that I’ll never understand. But then again, they’re still bots. And they were still being manipulated on the Xbox Network. I get it.

If Microsoft doesn’t allow bot followers, why even make gamers have followers? Xbox is a gaming platform, not social media. Let us have friends, not followers. I never agreed with Microsoft’s decision to steer Xbox into a gaming/social media hybrid.
