Spam bots continue to send users improper links, despite Xbox's best efforts.

• Microsoft continues to lose the war against spam bots, which continue to annoy gamers.
  
• More and more players are complaining about having to deal with obnoxious bots on a regular basis.
• These communications include pornography, unlawful gambling, and hacked connections.
• This major issue has persisted for years and is still unresolved to this day.

Despite the fact that Microsoft has secured a bright future for Xbox with the acquisition of Activision Blizzard, many more highly anticipated exclusives are undoubtedly on the way.

The Xbox Series X/S consoles have been a huge success, despite user complaints about the Series S' performance, and the company's future seems bright.

However, there is one thing that gamers find particularly aggravating, and the corporation has yet to find a means to stop it, despite the fact that it has been a few years.

This is the message I received from Xbox after reporting a spam bot that was sending porn links. Spam bots are becoming a bigger problem, and Xbox doesn't seem to be doing much about it.

Xbox claims it is powerless to prevent this from happening.

Users have recently been claiming that they are being bombarded with incorrect content once again, as we have seen in the past.

Spam bots are abusing Xbox players by sending porn links and other unpleasant information via chat. This appears to happen at random and there appears to be no way to stop it.

Why do we say it, you might wonder? Because, despite the fact that Xbox has said that spam bots have become a significant problem in the community, the business is refusing to take any action.

One of the gamers who reported the abuse received this response from the Xbox Safety team. Everyone understands that dealing with bots is a difficult undertaking, but one would think that Microsoft could handle it.

As previously stated, this issue is continuous, and it appears that it has eluded engineers and security professionals for years.

Many faithful fans were not surprised by the prior reports, which date back before the Series X/S consoles were ever designed.

Players on the PlayStation have identical issues, so don't believe there's an anti-Xbox effort underway.

Steam fans may recall that the popular gaming platform grappled with spam misuse years ago, with thousands of users receiving porn, illicit gambling, and other corrupted links on a regular basis.

Microsoft should take a page from Steam's book; they had the same problem a few years ago until they implemented "Limited User Accounts," which effectively eliminated the majority of spam. To be able to post messages in their feed, all new accounts must pay at least $5 in their local currency. Most spammers are cheap and will spam their junk somewhere else.

Cyberbullying is no laughing matter, and large corporations should consider spending more in preventing such abuses in the society, resulting in a more stable and less toxic environment.

It's still unclear whether this issue will be resolved anytime soon. Microsoft, on the other hand, is well aware of the problem and is likely working on a clever strategy to combat the bots.
