becus, if the server is receiving a packet loss of 25ms and the players ping overall is 15, it is still at a reasonable response time to the server, if the players ping overall is 40 and the packet loss is 25ms, thats a packet loss ontop of a 40ms response time, now that combined would affect how everything is sent around the servers especially in a p2p network. From my understanding, my take is, its useless to report a player for spike at 15-40 because it doesnt affect the gameplay so much it could be considered spiking.
