28% preferred, 72% avoided. I have 29 people on the friends list (automatic good feedback) and 3 years under my belt.
It is a naff system, as I'm sure many of you with Live have done, because if someone annoys you; you give a bad review. But since you're in the middle of the game you put them down for Trash. If you get beat fairly 5 times in a row and have pulled your hair out over it; you put them down as Unsporting as you don't want to admit they're better than you; and Lacking Skill/Too Good option doesn't do anything whereas Unsporting is reflected under the Rep percentages.
It also claims that you are less likely to be matched with people you give negative feedback too. This statement as far as I'm aware is total Bull*. I've had my friendly team on Halo 3 / CoD / BF lose a game to HLG wannabes / spawn campers etc. etc., where ALL of us back out, mark them down negatively then fire back up the multiplayer, only to be put right back into a lobby with them. It's a rally bad system and I just don't know who's fault it is; developers for not implementing it or Microsoft for still running with such a disused system.
It also a naff system where everyone over 3 months XBL has 5 stars rating even if you've got 99% negative feedback. I think it only take 5 reviews to to ping someone from the default 2.5* to 5* It also flops as reputation percentages never decrease. I went for 3 months without playing online and my rep stayed the same. This means 16 year old me, who got bored on CoD 4 and did some douchebaggy things, ended up receiving negative reports which are still reflected on 19 year old me. I don't even play like a douche any more (I'm intuitive and skilful enough enough to pull my weight and them some online) and I even call out on other peoples dirty shenanigans when I can. My bloody motto is "The Moral Guardian" as I refuse to spawn-kill or do anything sly to give my team the upper hand!

All above is completely understandable. If you're playing like an absolute scumbag; expect a less-than friendly message from me at the end, even if I was on your team. I rarely give up intelligent insulting when the first response message back is something to do with my mum. I mean, c'mon, that's my mum you're talking about! She's not even here! As for getting a Life? I'm not the one on here being disruptive for selfish, low kicks. I've got a life, thanks, and I'm just on here to enjoy some friendly competitive multiplayer with the other 22 people you've pissed around; and I'm calling you out on it. Try insulting me personally next time, though I 'll give you a tip - have something worth insulting me over first, as groundless arguments are hard to win without being completely obnoxious and ignorant. Why am I bothering you? Because you quite unpleasantly bothered every single person in that game of 24/16/8/6/4/64/10 etc., minus yourself. So I'm going to ensure some man-made karma is headed your way.
44% Unsporting
5% Quit early
Unsporting? The only thing I ever do unsporting any more is ensuring the real scum in a match get what they deserve, but it's very rare I get over some kind of stick with a scumbag in-game, as I usually leave it until post-match and PMs. the worst I'll do is pilot a helicopter out of the map on BF3 with them in it or something (yes, I can fly - took it trough thet tunnels once on DVPeak; over enemy tank, capturing the middle flag and killing 2 enemies before flying out the other side). Same goes for Quit Early, I hardly do it unless the other team are total douche bags on Reach and I can't even get redemption let alone pull my own weight; or quits from my Halo 3 days. So why does that still linger around?
TL;DR - it's an entertainment post, read it for fun or don't read it at all. Basis is; Xbox player reviews are an inefficient service I would gladly do without, but would massively prefer it be much more stable, less clogged with lies and crap and because efficient and effective to use - with rating that can ACTUALLY be seen. Play like a douche, get several negative reviews, lose a quarter star for 3 months. Play well, encourage people to prefer, gain a quarter star.
