Jesus fucking Christ. The amount of inane drama you people generate over nothing is astonishing. Stop reporting people unless they are doing something really bad like cheating, being overtly racist/bypassing the filter, or griefing in a substantive and meaningful manner. This "incident" ( I don't even want to call it that because it is nothing ) in particular is the stupidest, most asinine report I have ever seen.
Grouch, I like you I really do but you need to stop with these petty, insipient reports, especially when they are on server regulars, and so does everyone else who feels inclined to make them. While no one here should be immune to the rules or subject to alternative interpretations of them there does need to be an understanding that while it is the casuals and blueberries who populate the servers it is the regulars who often seed the servers in the first place and enable the blueberries to even play on them instead of joining an empty or nearly-empty server and instantly dipping out. Driving these regular players away will kill this game even faster than ignoring some silly horse play in the vague belief that this kind of inconsistent and generally harmless behavior will somehow encourage acts of substantial griefing by others.
Furthermore while the blueberries are generally morons in gameplay they are still people with at least some of their mental faculties intact. Instead of instantly recording and reporting them for single and sporadic occurrences of rule-breaking it should be in all of our best interests to first attempt to talk with and reason with them so that we can educate them about how and why their actions are prohibited. I've been teamkilled intentionally by numerous people and while it's irritating every time it happens ( unless its in a case like this one with Kosh where it's just two buddies joking around ) I will first try to tell them to not do that before I even consider reporting them.
This fucking hall monitor bullshit is just so stupid. Everyone here needs to stop running to the teacher and telling them that Billy stepped out of line twice on the way to gym class! Also, Grouch, why were you even spectating in the first place? Were you suspecting someone of cheating? If you were then why were you bothering to spectate Kosh and Panties? If you were just watching the game to shoot the breeze then why even bother reporting something like this in the first place? If you were spectating solely to try to catch someone in a single, tiny instance of rule-breaking then you really ought to reevaluate what you do in your spare time.
