## FMA scenario severities

*View [XBOX Requirements](https://docs.xbox.com/publishing/certification/xr/xr-018.md)*

**Test cases**

**018-01 Reporting inappropriate content and UGC text-string verification**

| Scenario | Severity | Platform |
| - | - | - |
| The title doesn't block text strings from an unsupported language (blocked strings only need to match the region of the console, as supported by the title). | Not Relevant (-4) | XBOX One, XBOX Series |
| No current scenario. | Very Minor (1) | |
| No current scenario. | Minor (2) | |
| No current scenario. | Moderate (6) | |
| No current scenario. | Critical (12) | |
| Words from the forbidden terms list aren't blocked and the title doesn't provide a way for users to report other users’ inappropriate content. | Catastrophic (22) | XBOX One, XBOX Series |

*Notes*

* Creating banned terms out of in-title UGC (such as spelling out a word with materials or shapes) isn't required under this XR and is exempt from the requirements of XR-018 because it doesn't involve text strings. It should instead adhere to the relevant privilege.
* Titles must contain clear representation or descriptions to "Report a Player" when content isn't being filtered. That representation is a button to "Report Player." Selecting the in-title report feature can then invoke the game card that contains the **Report** option.
* If the UGC privilege is set to blocked, the user can still enter text-based input (such as guild names, player names, or chat messages) if the title passes that input through a verification service that filters unapproved words.
