Well in my experience it’s just exploited by players for reasons other than it is intended. Example – I never used to have my headset plugged in when I first went online with COD4. After 2 weeks or so, I had 33% negative feedback for ‘trash talking’! As I got better at the game I found that a lot of people were leaving me negative feedback for ‘unsportsmanlike conduct’ yet I am a very fair player – no camping, glitching or anything else underhand. To see whether I was just unlucky I set up a new tag and had my friend play COD4 – he plays differently to me but still within the rules and very fairly. 1 week later and 100% negative feedback for ‘unsportsmanlike conduct’!!!! I personally think the system means nothing and serves no purpose.

I totally agree with this. I had a similar idea that I think would help the Xbox Live community. If you can take a look at this and give your feedback I’d appreciate it. I’d be interested in your opinion.

I’ve been quite unlucky in this department. Up until Call of Duty 4, Skate was the only game I played Multiplayer wise. Unfortunately, with it being such a laggy game, I often lost my connection to the host. Obviously this looked like I was quitting early, and as a result I had tons of negative feedback (which was most definitely undeserved). So I think in cases like that, where you’re playing terribly laggy games (Rainbow Six: Vegas, I’m also looking at you) it can be flawed. I’m now stuck with 3 star Rep, even though my feedback is now 90% preferred. Since this happened when I first set up my account, and I was receiving tons of bad feedback instead of good feedback, my 3 stars won’t budge :(

Hey, great recap and I’m with you 100%. If everybody would use the feedback system for what it was thought out to be, it would definitely make the difference on Xbox Live. Of course it’s much easier to just say that it doesn’t work, never leave positive feedback and abuse negative..

Also, MS recently said that the system has been greatly improved, expecially in regard to complaints so let’s just use it. It works, period :)
