I just got a penalty point because I didn’t provide three demos, for no apparent reason, for our game we played on the 30th of March. The demos were requested on April the 9th, after we’d played our next game, but I wasn’t notified and had no idea until we got a warning and a penalty point. There is nothing on the site which I can see that says you have to check match comments constantly for demo requests, and I assumed they’d message me on Steam if I didn’t respond, which would be a lot more logical. Why don’t they do this?

In my opinion every etf2l admin should have every registered player on their steam friends so they can personally message the players about demos and whatnot.

You should get an email telling you.

I wasn’t told about this. I use that email for signups so I don’t check it regurlarly. They have easy access to my Steam profile or even my ETF2l profile, why didn’t they message me there?

Or at least give me a notification that a challenge has been emailed to me.

So what you’re saying is, if you get a notification of something in the mail but don’t bother getting your mail, its the party’s fault who sent it?

Duh, ofc it is…

Yes, because that’s an illogical way of notifying someone on ETF2L and I wouldn’t assume they’d use that, and they didn’t tell me they’d sent me an email. They didn’t even tell me that they would send me emails for demo requests on that.

It is the most logical way there is. Otherwise they have to add people to their steam for every e-mail they send, and the send a lot of them. They also send an e-mail if there is a wildcard taken or a default date set.
If you give them your e-mail, they expect you to give them an e-mail you check on a regulare base, otherwise it kinda defeats the purpose. You can’t expect the admins to add everyone.

This is purely your fault for giving them an e-mail you don’t check.

Maybe you should check your emails once in a while

I told you, it’s a signup email adress, I don’t check it. I wasn’t told that I’d be sent stuff on it.
