Forza Race Marshals pilot program
Announced in the August 5th Week in Review:
What the Marshals Are, and Are Not
Forza Race Marshals are looking for racing incidents between players. Marshals are not developers and do not have any control over game glitches, wishlist items, or other game issues. There are other discussion threads in this forum and the Support forum for those reports, and as always users should report problems to forzafb@microsoft.com. Please do not message T10-icon-gamertag Marshals about cars or tracks or features changes, or about joining the program.
How the Community Can Help
Users can help alert Marshals to look for incidents in lobbies where they most often occur. If you see racing incidents you can post the lobby info and date in this thread. Example:
Spec League - Elite division
11pm [local time zone] August 3
Lobby and date are the only posts that should appear in this thread: do not name and shame gamertags, and do not add extra commentary or debate over how to fix things. Marshals will not be responding to this thread but by observing user reports they may be able to seek out and address incidents more effectively. Users can discuss the Race Marshal program and related topics in the Forza Race Marshal discussion thread.
Also, users can help by saving replays of races where incidents occurred. Save your replay with an innocuous name and share it in game, then message Snowowl on these forums or forzafb@microsoft.com with information about what they should be looking for (car, time, gamertag, infraction). Report when the incident is obvious; some driver error is a reality of multiplayer gaming and does not warrant enforcement. Again, users should not expect specific responses or immediate action, but know that your reports are helpful toward the effort to produce cleaner and more enjoyable online racing. Lobby players also still have the ability to Vote to Kick offending racers by selecting their gamertag to bring up the menu. Xbox Live also has reporting features for abusive or offensive behavior in game and over chat.
One last reminder: if you are the victim of bad behavior by another player, do not retaliate. There is never a justification for wrecking another player or engaging in abusive communication, which can result in enforcement on your own actions. Report and move on.

Lots of incidents between players. People waiting up to ram. It’s a [Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D]
Keep an eye out for the class hoppers during the late hours of both the European and American play times (9:00+ GMT/ 9:00+ EST)
Drivers often have a few too many and lose the ability to control their tempers as a result. These are usually when I find the most wreckers in A class lobbies
