It was called a "prefered player" option or something, and you could list a reason why you no longer wanted to play with that user such as "trash talking", "leaving the game early" and a few others. This built a reputation for you which you could view, and then "improve upon" because it told you who anonymously disliked you and their reasons for it. Alternatively it also told you what they liked about you if you were rated as someone they'd like to play with again.

Again this was very rarely used, at least from what I've seen in the 4-5 years I've owned an Xbox 360. Not only with my experience but with my friends and family who also owned Xbox 360's.

I actually thought it was used fairly often; hell, I've done my fair share of reports and prefers during the early years of the 360.

The thing was, the early days of the 360 featured online games that had matchmaking. In other words, people didn't join your match mid-game; they only join in toward the start, so you have to talk to the same people throughout the entire match. And if they quit, then it sucks to be you. You saw this in games like Halo 3 and Gears of War and (iirc) Perfect Dark Zero. These games also had terrible and/or no reporting systems if you have shitty teammates, so you had to resort to the in-game preferred player system to never have to deal with those assholes again.

Nowadays? Matchmaking changed with Modern Warfare, which basically popularized the notion that people will come and go during a heated online match on the 360. People come and go so quickly in a typical CoD game that you wouldn't think to prefer/avoid them. You would just spend maybe ten minutes slurring out any homophobia and xenophobia that's been boiling in your inner gut all day, then forget about it since the scrublord had already left the match in fear of your typical 10-year-old tongue.



Basically, it's not going to work. Unless, of course, Gears of War Prequel 2 and Halo 5 decide to go back to the standard matchmaking style, where you're stuck with a group of people that you will or will not care for.

Want a case example of this? Okay. Look at Team Fortress 2. Notice how many people are complaining about getting globally muted for weeks on end, or how they think the report system is broken and abused? Now look at DotA 2.
