Microsoft plans on improving its spam reporting process following a reported increase in Xbox Live spam messages.
On Twitter, Xbox Partner Director of Program Management Mike Ybarra says the company is currently working on the issue. He added that reporting spam messages will be made "a lot easier in the UI" starting next month.
Ybarra urges Xbox owners to report all spam messages, saying, "We look at them, we boot them!!" While the fix is in the works, Ybarra advises those receiving excessive spam messages to check "friends only" in their privacy settings.
A Microsoft spokesperson provided IGN with the following statement:
“Microsoft allows Xbox Live accounts to send a limited number of messages every day to other users, and we are aware that some accounts are using this functionality to deliver spam messages. We are continuously working on ways to prevent the spread of spam messaging to our users through a variety of methods including removal of these accounts. We encourage members to report inappropriate messages by following the guidance on enforcement.xbox.com.”
