Hi
I was doing The Trial race and one person decided to message me after it and said that he called me a idiot and that I made my team lose. I reported him to xbox for using offensive lanuage and he said that he has recording of me hitting into other players, which I wasn’t. It was other players hitting into me, isn’t that part of the game?
If he has recording would anything happen?
Regards
Don’t worry and train more 
So nothing should happen to my account, I done lots of progress since day 1 when the game released and don’t fancy losing it all just because of one race.
Nah, you’ll be fine. Seriously, I’ve been told I’m getting reported so many times over all the years I’ve been playing games and believe me I’ve gotten into some really abusive arguments via voice chat (one guy a while back when I used to play a D&D type game even started streaming it on twitch and said he’d use that as proof of whatever it was that upset him. I think I might have forgot how to tank and his pet dinosaur got injured or something) and I’m still around! I’ve had my GT since original Xbox and get told nearly every week I’m gonna get banned for something or other so I wouldn’t worry about someone getting a bit upset at his own lack of skills who probably just decided to lash out at you. Honestly, the best thing you can do is just ignore and block that person
You should generally try to avoid contact with other players, especially hard hits, if at all possible. But it’s not unheard of for a collision to be seen on one person’s screen, but not another, due to network lag. So if he has a recording of you hitting another player, it’s possible that you hit them without realizing it, because on your screen, no collision occurred at all. Unfortunately, the only way to prove if that happened is to record it.
Best course of action is to report it, and let the admins sort it out. And try not to sweat it too much. Some people tend to get a little too heated in these things.
I have been having issues with lag on my xbox so could that be the problem, it happens every 5-10 minutes. How do I report it to the admins?
Nothing bad will happen to you, don’t worry it was probably just some angry troll.
Bad lag is very easy to identify, you will start to see every car fly 10 feet above the track then randomly slam back into the ground or warp back and forth.
What you should do if you see him again is ram him off the road… that’ll work.
Just ignore it
You wont lose anything
Probably some 12yo trying to upset you
You win when then get the communication ban from xbox live
Some people really have no shame. Sometime ago I raced against a guy and he was a total loser so he decided to pushed me off the road. I usually ignore losers like that but I had enough of him so after his 3rd failed attempt I decided to retaliate. I pushed his car to the side so that he missed a checkpoint. After the race (which I won of course) he sent me a message accusing me of being a rammer and telling me to “learn to drive”.
Don’t sweat it. Did the trial last night and my “teammates”, in the quest to get first, rammed me off the road or used me as a brake, several times. We won all three races, thus my trial is complete. I don’t let that nonsense bother me and neither should you. I guarantee that every person on this forum has done something stupid on the track, and yet here we are…still. Like other posters have said, ignore it. Some people treat thus GAME as life and death.
Ramming in a game with collisions isn’t against the rules at all. Even if it’s your own teammate. It’s poor playing and is looked down upon, but it’s not against the rules of the game and it’s not something Mircrosoft would care about. So you have nothing to worry about. The exception would be deliberate griefing of an individual via repeated ramming to the point of harassment.
As for offensive messages, absolutely against the rules, he will be disciplined.
It is against the rules of the game, it is in a TOS for Xbox live. There is a difference between Burnout where obviously taking out people is part of the game and Horizon where clearly this is not part of it. If it was okay, why would they have made the wall riding/corner bomb fix? Anyway unless the person cursed and swore I don’t think they consider it offensive. Trash talk and that is all that was isn’t always considered offensive.

Here is the one about griefing
Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
Violating the Xbox Live Terms of Use.
Violating the Xbox Live Code of Conduct.
Cheating or “griefing” (such as intentionally crashing into other players) in online games
Playing on a hacked or modified a console or profile
Sharing a console or content with banned profiles
You will go to jail if caught ramming
Forget it. I seriously doubt Xbox enforcement give a toss about anyone playing rough, regardless of complaints, regardless of their Terms of Service.
I once received a voice message over XBL full of vitriol and expletives. I kept the message and reported it to XBL. The guy still has an XBL account.
If you are reported to XBL, I imagine the Forza team most likely won’t have access to the complaint.
you don’t lose your xbl account, usually it will be a communication ban, which starts as a few hours, 24 hours and gets longer each time, and may end up with a full ban if it continues
I’m just correcting the misinformation that ramming is okay. Many people seem to have mistaken ideas on this.
Hitting other players, especially your teammates is not okay in the slightest. There are common courtesies that should be followed. One of these courtesies is to not message someone an call them an idiot for losing your team the race. Its not nice and doesn’t do any good. He is in the wrong, and if you were ramming other players so were. you. Of course there are issues such as lag that can cause things to happen and that is no ones fault. Nothing will come from this just be more careful in the future and ignore the haters
^Bruh, I used one expletive in a message to a troll sometime last year then got a 2 week communications ban, even when I brought up context and how the expletive I said was in proper context
Was it your first offence
And there is no context when its allowed to use expletives on xbl…its rated E for everyone including 5yo kids
Maybe some people get punished more than others depending on which xbox agent does it
