Bringing attention to a serious issue.

[EG0]

Can the kick function be used as many time or is there a cool down before it can be used again? Asking because in CA this is a major issue. People tend to abuse the power for what ever reason they see fit. How does the kick feature work for DB? any link on any info would be nice. Ty

[quote=“Sharp;10509”]Hello, I’m going to start this post of by letting you know I’m one of the people in question here (sharpy_cs). I’d first like to apologise as I know this type of behaviour isn’t acceptable. But I would like to raise some issues/idea’s that I have from my point of view. First of all, the OP of this post, who we did kick, we kicked him for what we thought at the time, a good reason. He gave us constant abuse in chat over three different stopwatch matches, came into my stream chat and harassed me and my friends and then proceeded to try and troll us. Multiple other people in the game was complaining about this guy as he was turning the game into a huge argument. I’m not saying that this justifies it but it wasn’t to open a spot up for a friend. Also, other times someone might have been kicked by us was if they was afk as far as I know as I wasn’t the one instigating a kick. Although I totally admit any abuse of the kick system other than kicking someone who is afk is wrong, and I’d like to add me and the friends I have played with had no idea that there was any repercussions for the person being kicked, if we had known that, we would of never even considered it. The last point I’d like to make is that the only reason me and my friends aren’t playing the matchmaking system is because not all of us are level 7 but we still want to play together, and as the game is now, this is the only way. We would play separately until 7, but the amount of time it takes to get there is way to long for that to be reasonable. Anyway, thanks for reading what I have to say, take it as you will.
TLDR : Kicking people is wrong, didn’t know there was penalty for the person being kicked. Some reasoning behind it but still, it was wrong and I apologise on behalf of my friends too.[/quote]

In short: this sounds like two asshats trying to look good after being stupid.

Biblically, two wrongs dont make a right, eye for an eye and now we have forum drama. The funny thing is, this is a little miniscule pitiful stupid ‘been done a million times by better people than you,’ drama. Go PM, go home.

Verbal abuse? Sure give that person a chatban for a few days or a week.

Intentionally griefing by stacking teams then proceed to grief the enemy team as much as possible? Jep that should be a game ban.

Edit: Temporary game ban of course as it is a first time offensive.

Banning people for not playing the way you want seems like a very arbitrary way of doing it.
It is one thing if they are exploiting things in game to get more kills but just because they are kill farming it shouldnt mean they get banned because frankly that is their decision.[/quote]

I’m not sure where this idea of “kicking because they wasn’t playing the way they wanted them too” is coming from. This just simply didn’t happen. [/quote]

My reply was not intended as a response to the case being presented by the OP. Rather it was directed at the notion that the system should be designed to prevent people from playing the game the way they want to play it.

What Varonth suggested was that “griefing” by teaming up with friends and ignore objectives and play like it was a deatmatch game should be prohibited “Jep that should be a game ban.”.

I did not mean to say that this is what happened in your game because i was not there and frankly do not care. I just wanted to present my opinion on the usage of the ban system.
