Can we make it un-reportable if someone is lagging in a public room such as tdm (everything except cw)
The reason people report for forcelag in a cw is because you can't /kick a player, where as you can in a public room...
put your /kick command to work instead of going through all the trouble of reporting someone in a public room.
Would also save gm's a lot of time because we all know they are extremely busy..
i agree with you.Quote:

players still can get on alternatives
The fact is that when a player is asked to fix something and doesn't do it and continues, he SHOULD be punished. Kicking a player would be simply saying "Go lag in another room and piss off those people instead".
By punishing, we make an attempt for users NOT to repeat the offense. Of course it won't always work that way, but we have to do what we have to do. If they don't learn their lesson, that's their problem.
Like people care that they get warned and eventually banned lawl , they can just make a new account and continue so u might aswell just kick him , saves our time and also yours.Quote:

And in a lot of cases, they can't fix their lag, which is why theyre in public rooms and not cw's.
Which is why it is mandatory for the players to be informed about their lag in the replay/screenshots.Quote:

i'm missing your point
You do realize that lagging/spiking provides somewhat of an advantage for players, right? My point is, if they're aware of it and unable to fix it, get better internet. Besides only a small minority of people actually bother to report laggers in deathmatches/team deathmatches. If you go into a deathmatch at this very moment, you're bound to find someone spiking/lagging.Quote:

not true, lots of players actually can't play at all with lag, i'd say in most instances it's a bigger disadvantage than advantage.Quote:

And from the looks of it, a lot of reports actually consist of "force"-lagging and other tedious issues such as begging and flaming, this kind of stuff is ridiculous when you have the /ignore and /kick commands.
As staff, I assumed you would side with this since I wouldn't want to deal with those reports myself if I were in your position
steff say forcelagger should be banned for a day or two and not play if they spike just warning them wont want them even want to stop forcelagging
You're basically saying that because it's a disadvantage for the lagger, it somehow voids the fact that other players are being disturbed by it.Quote:

Now that you've brought it up, I can't say much about the flame reports myself. Sure, some of them are for highly minuscule reasons which is why I've independently started handling such reports in a different manner. Can't say much about the other game moderators as those reports usually come down to personal judgement. Although I guess it would be helpful if people would start acknowledging the /ignore function instead of resorting to reporting the other user straight away.
I'm not taking sides here. I'm not going to influence other people to stop reporting because I want less reports, pretty much makes my job here quite pointless if that were so.
I'm too lazy to colour everything so I hope you can just tell what goes where lolQuote:

2. sarcasm, nobody is buying new internet for gunz
3. the only way to get your point across is to make it non-warnable and tell the players who report to start using that command. Continuing to ban/warn people over silly things will only encourage players to keep doing so.
4. Sounds like you're siding when you say you wanna keep silly reports to keep your job
ESC Leave to lobby avoid kick rejoin room.
aaaand vote wasted.
Dude has a couple of friends who don't y on his obvious lag
aaaand vote wasted.
You vote him out? Alt character
aaaand vote wasted.
I'd agree with this if the kick system wasn't so shit.
I dont see the point of this suggestion. What is the ultimate goal besides just doing something. If t is to just save staff slight time every now and then, theres probably better suggestions that will do that.Quote:

It may be at advantage but the " legit " lag-less players just to be more good in their skills.
Of you don't forcelag then no one will report you
Also why would you want to forcelag, unless you want to abuse.
