Harrasement and Locks

jkool666 · #1 11-24-2007, 05:07 PM

Alright, one thing I've noticed a lot lately is problems elevating from locks and harrasement.

Harrasement is against the rules, and if you harrase other players you will be punished. Usually I freeze the player on CTF, and explain to them they are breaking the rules and if they continue they will be locked. And then I let them go, follow them around for a bit and if they improve I leave them alone. But then most players flip out and swear at me, which is obviously expected.

I want to try and explain something to you:
The more you swear, over react and flip out at a staff member, the more you lose. If you stay calm, recieve their talk and no-longer harrase others you will not be locked.
Now if you are locked, deal with it... its an hour, go outside or something. Again if you flip out about a lock you will only recieve a longer one.

Jesse, it's Harass, no e in it!

But I agree, a lot of people think they should be allowed to harass someone and get away with it, it's just dumb.

This gave me a idea, why can't et's go invisible. O.o

This would help them catch people that disobey rules. :3

A lot of ETs have proposed the idea, nothing has yet to be done.

Judging by the current staff roster, it would be abused far too often.

Spying on other people? :/

If they have the respect to at least not harass near a visible ET, then they don't deserve to be locked. If the harassed isn't reporting that they're being harassed, then it's there fault for refusing to PM a ET or something.
