why is stacked literally the only team shittalking others in forums/match comments?

mrw there’s more players in stacked than just b33p. some people believe there’s in fact 9 players (◐ o ◑ )

to stay on topic:
i think 3 minor warnings before a major is too strict. 5 warnings would still be enough of a deterrant. leaders will still do everything they can to make sure people dont accidentally break the rules, but teams wont be penalised because people make mistakes. afaik people arent going out of their way to break the rules, you could call raising the limit to 5 minor warnings a reward for good behaviour this season.

This thread has turned from provisional feedback to aids in less than a day.

But all a leader can do to ‘take action’ is to remind them the next time, and if the offender does it again you cant blame the leader or the team-mates, the offender is just an idiot.

To reiterate and clarify my post from earlier:

The admins don’t enjoy awarding point penalties – they’re only doing it to deter people from rule-breaking, but the people they’re catching out with these rules aren’t assholes or criminals, they’re just forgetful. 5 warnings before a ban would decrease the frequency of these strikes against ethical players, whilst still punishing serial rule-breakers.

The leaders in prem aren’t negligent towards ensuring their team follows the rules, but the teams are still being penalised. In fact the whole team is being penalised because of one person’s slip-up, which seems cruel to me. It’s like preventing an entire class of students from going out to break when the bell goes because Sorex forgot his homework again.

Submitting STV demos is an individual’s problem. I fail to understand why there’s a blanket penalty given to the whole team when the perpetrator is fully responsible and acted alone. Isn’t the 2-week-or-so ban for repeat offenders enough? Why is there two punishments?

In all honesty I’m against the point penalty entirely (for multiple minor warnings), I see 5 warnings before the pen as a happy medium. Am I being totally naïve in thinking that people just slip up, or is cheating and risking the stv demo warning more common than I think?

Solid points, but it’s a discussion that can be seen from multiple angles.
There may be teams that support their cheaters, it happens. There’s also teams that don’t care about demo’s, usernames or sportsmanship.

There’s also teams that are really organised except for maybe one guy, and I think it’s all fair that the leader takes the responsibility for that one guy. If he fucks up multiple times consequences should be faced – If your team gets a major warning after 3 times, that guy probably belongs somewhere else and not in your team.

I get your points about sometimes mistakes happening, and now that I think about it, maybe the warning system should be applied to players rather than teams, just like it is the case with demo’s.

5 minor warnings before a major one? why not 18? 3 is fine, its not that hard to make sure everybody follow some basic rules ( especially in high div where ppl know those rules for a long time)

Three minor warnings seems like the right number to me. I don’t think my team picked up more than that over the course of 5 seasons, if not fewer.

You also need to remember that the rule applies to all divisions. Most teams have fewer hoops to jump through, i.e. no nickname rule, no mandatory upload of STVs etc. If you bumped that up to five, that would leave an awful lot of room for ‘missing’ demos. Teams in the Premier division can expect to be held to a higher degree of scrutiny, and honestly, it’s not that difficult.

I’m not a big fan of the way the names rule is enforced. Warnings for j@m@l instead of jamal, fanny instead of fanny_filth (even though he used the full name in the match just not the status screen) and inso instead of inso2stronk (after kkaltuu OK’d him just using inso) sucked. It didn’t affect the standings at all so it’s not the hugest deal, but it just feels kind of petty.

You have to draw a line somewhere, and if you want to create a list of all acceptable violations (trust me, people are creative) then you’ll be doing it for a while. And I don’t think anyone would be able to make head or tails of it afterwards. It’s much easier to be super strict, although even easier to actually follow the rule .

I get your point but I was always under the impression that the rule was there to stop people being abusive or changing their names to purposefully ruin a cast which I can’t actually think of an instance where that has happened in any game I’ve played. All the nickname warnings in prem this season have been for stuff like MUSA instead of musa_tr and it was the same last season.

It doesn’t happen because the rule is in place. Before any sort of nickname rule was in place, people would play with weird name and no one would know who is who. It’s not always a weird name to necessarily ruin a cast, but there are plenty of people out there who would as a ‘joke’ even now.

All these petty nickname rule breaks are completely the players fault. It is not challenging to use the same name exactly as your ETF2L name, as the 95% of players correctly managing it show.
