Hi Manfred and all moderators,Our friend dreadnought has decided he will do as he likes in this game of ours,Just left a small game of protect the zep, two pilots in red up the other end and I take off and dreadnought takes off behind me ,then after following me around for 3 or 4 minutes and shooting at me closely he decides to pull his usual stunt by shooting down the same team member ( me) The fool obviously revels in his notoriety,how long is this behaviour going to be tolerated,he carefully looks to see if there are any moderators in the game then he does what he likes,sorry to give you more hassle Manfred and the other moderators ,regards 111th KptnMondo

does Dreadnought ever reply.maybe he doesnt speak english.
Out of those pics i see 3 enemy take downs and 1 teamkill which could be an accident for all i know and how i see it cos i wasnt there (dont take this the wrong way)is alot of whining by yourself which just fuels the fire.i hate foulmouthed players but so called team killers i just use the QUIT button.
Sorry dont want to offend but this is my view as an outsider.

I thought I banned him yesterday. I went through my old notes last night and muted/banned players that I had personally witnessed during the time that my commands weren't working. He is banned now. Let us know if anyone sees III Major General Dreadnought ever again (there are other players by similar name, so look carefully).

Manfred and other mods...would it help if we pm'ed you screenshots of abusive behavior rather than post on the forum? Sorta keeps the dirty laundry less visible...

Thx Manfred. You don't know how sick I was of seeing Die Dentin plastered across the screen after dreadnought's name......


although..... Die Dentin is a nice little jingle....

It would help. But keep in mind that, at the moment, I am acting only on those players that I personally have witnessed. This thread (and PM's) certainly help point me toward who to watch out for. There are many times when I don't have time to play a full game, but I have a few minutes and can scroll in and out of games to see who's online. This may explain why you might see me popping in and out of games (although more often that is because my game hit the Quit Bug and I'm trying to find my original room to finish the game!). Anyway, I'm looking for those players who are on my list or have been flagged by others, and I'll hang out a bit to see what's going on.

The moderators are following general rules of thumb, but everyone is unique and applies their own judgment. One of us might mute based on a screenshot, but for the moment, I'd like to personally see what has been asked of the player and a bunch of other considerations before using the axe. Again, PM's are good, and (censored but clear) posts here are also very helpful. It really helps when several members chime in about a player, which is why this thread is great. Then we know who's on TOP of the list!

Clean skies,
Manfred

Boys and girls we have two new pilots. Let me introduce anal decomposer and penisVSmouth. Sheeezz. Had them both in the same game.

u use the quit button, i use the payback button, why should i quit because of him. Just saying not taking it offensive.

Ive just reported this guy to Wig, this potty mouthed bad name i just warned ....... you can see what he thought.






these shots were taken at 10:55am (Greenwich mean time on Saturday 12th Jan 2013)
these guys never learn - oh well I suppose it happens.

cacabufu watch out for him....sheesh...teamkiller....kinda funny, I finally got him to speak english...

Ugh. Lame games tonight.

Cactuses was spawnkilling mercilessly, like 20+ times on capture the carrier.

Allie was trolling, telling everyone he is an 11 year old girl and cursing other players when they didn't pay attention.

Lame.

Lame.

I was in game with Allie The Trolling 13 Yr Old just now. Muted. I'll be on the lookout for Cactuses.

Cactuses spawn kills with a plane manfred not tank. He is some player, fantastic chaser.

That's why I wait to see players personally. I don't Ban for spawnkilling from a plane. It's a justified tactic in some situations IMO. And I know plenty of people see it different ways. Heck I just did it flying into the enemy airport to make sure I had a hole and was also making a hole for teammates behind me (I got killed; 3 planes spawned and they all got in the air - I guess I suck!). But I don't fire on runways in DF game, and tend not to in Bomb Carrier unless a teammate is following closely.

If someone is relentlessly spawnkilling from a plane, I'll ask them to back off and let players get in the air. People usually stop.

Tank spawnkillers are a whole other story. But that's still not a Ban. Players need to be truly abusive and without remorse for that to happen. I've kicked TankSK's out of a game, especially DF game before they rack up a win with a bunch of TankSpawnKills.

I've now muted him Clay.

Ghetto and Himmler are muted.

I would like to thank u too. And virtually shake ur hand. I have flown with getto. I don't like him at all. He says every word in the book. I had to just leave a few games in a row. Idk how he did it but he followed me from game to game cussin me for no reason.

I love this game and now that I know how to use screen shots I will try to offer more assistance in bringing these type of people to the attention of the moderators. Moderators you guys are doing us a great service. Please keep up the good work. Thank you

Press the menu and power buttons at same time

Just hold your round home bottom and power button at the same time. Pictures will be in your photo album.

Thanks,

The more info you can give us the better.

It is very easy for us to address issues with forum members, so if you know the forum name please include it.

Non-members are harder for us, we must be in game with them to take action. As you can imagine, this sometimes takes time.

We all keep our eyes peeled for the worst offenders.

Thanks again for your help in keeping the game clean and fun for all.
