To be honest, I agree with Schoi. The admins shouldn't be exposing other players and ruining their fun, and they can easily punish them without "revealing" who they are. I mean there's no difference between saying 'Stop TWing Schoi" and "Stop TWing Skius". I honestly dont even see the need to look them up on the website to deal with them, just kick him from the server and if he keeps doing it ban him for an hour?
Well, this is just my method, frankly.
Instead of kicking or warning the moment I spot something, I'll look them up briefly to see if the player is new, old, or has been banned recently.
I don't want to give a person who knows better a second chance when they already know the consequences.
I also don't want to be overly harsh to someone who's new, doesn't know the server rules, or whatever else.
Skius was obviously a skilled player (he TK'd me in melee, after all--quite the challenge), so I immediately assumed he'd been around awhile and deserved a look-up.
Because he was only TK'ing at the end of the round with a surplus of teammates hunting down one other player, I also figured he was just doing what most people do near the end of the round.
It's basically impossible to stop the
near end-of-round teamkilling, and since it was unusual that people would even complain about it, I wanted to err on the easy side and avoid punishing someone for something widely accepted by the NA server population.
Basically, I was being careful not to cause a shitstorm.
And oh, how the turntables have...
I think even if it you don't agree w/ what Jeade did, why can't you accept that it may have been a slip up, because admins are human too?
Because you're forgetting that we are unethical Internet gamers who are power-tripping children who hate fun.
