Hello all,
This suggestion is a suggestion that I would like to see, however I am not sure if it will be possible because of the registration process of having your own blog.
In the past I have told some of my friends on XBL about registering for the site, however some of them still haven't registered which makes me think, why can't we have a tracking system? What I am talking about is just like the My Gamercard (MGC) site before it shut down where if you search for a gamertag and they wasn't currently tracked and/or registered on the website, then it would now track that users gamertag.
Basically, I would like to see a new feature called the 360 blog tracking system where if you search for a person's gamertag and they are not registered on the site, it will still create a 360 blog for them because there are so many gamertags on this website that are not registered which is a shame because it would be nice to have almost everyone from XBL to have a 360 voice blog.
What do you all think of this suggestion? I personally think it would be beneficial to the 360 voice site and the community overall.

I am against it completely.
I cannot stand when a site allows you to track someone that isn't registered, or place someone into a leaderboard you created, or allow you to create goals based against another user without their input/approval.
If someone does not want to register for the site, there may be a reason, and they should not be tracked by the site. EVER. |

To add to this, tracking everyone on Xbox like MGC did also means you're tracking cheaters and modders. Trying to keep up with this is a monumental task that no one around here has the time for. I you recall the final weeks and months of MGC, Stallion was ranked in the 30's on the leaderboards. |

| The resources tied up to scanning/processing a player that will never view their blog seems like a bad plan. Not to mention if they didn't register/don't care about the site they may not have (or care to set) their permissions correctly so we can scan them. |

| Also even if all the above was worked out, the coders for this site are volunteers, asking them to do this on their own time for people that dont want to be tracked doesnt sound like a good use of their time. There are plenty of issues and projects going on that their time is more valuable for. |

| I see. Well I thought it was a good suggestion, but I can see all of your points. Plus the website will probably run much slower with all the users being tracked. And true, there are obviously people out there who don't go for gamerscore, or don't care about it at all along with stats, so it would be pointless if they were tracked. |
