- Merged Report: AD, Angel, and friends (Archived by Brad)

[[TC] Brad]

Okay, I’ve merged the 3 reports by AD and Angel into one and there are some over-lapping points that are better addressed as a whole in my opinion.

I also looked at all the relevant replays and time-stamps and below is my opinion:

---

AD: I understand you believe the time-stamps within your generic report to be noteworthy but I seriously suggest you re-calibrate your measure of what is and isn’t worth a report. Most of these things were either already dealt with in-game (such as those which were clearly unfortunate accidents for which the offending user apologised) or are minor incidents that are seriously misusing our time.

Your 2nd report did have a little more basis, and that’s discussed a little later. However, I still think both of these could/should have been dealt with on the server in a calmer manner rather than involving us.

Angel: Similar to the above point, do you really think—looking back on it with a clearer head—that saying “he is still a kiddo” should be report-worthy? I’m not sure if this is an attempt at retaliation for AD’s initial report which included you (among many, many others) but it certainly doesn’t warrant intervention from us.

The thing is, you report AD for insulting, but then the amount of sly-comments you direct to him means that it is just pure hypocrisy.

In terms of AD’s 2nd report, however, I do think you have something to answer for in terms of causing an accident (albeit a brushing of paintwork) on wrong side and refusing to apologise. Also, the issue is you generally being argumentative with him, i.e. when you hit him on H1 as he was helping to TOW.

However, the main point you both (and others, potentially) need to take from this is that it's a complete waste of our time when we could be using that time to instead deal with actual rule-breakers rather than intervening in petty arguments caused by people being either too argumentative or too trigger-happy in terms of reporting / threatening to report.

If you want TC members to lose interest as a result of having to deal with these kinder-garden incidents then continue, but if you actually want the community to stay together and stay active, then I’d seriously consider you both re-assess your actions and try to look at things with a clearer head in future.

We’re all adults—please act like it. If that isn't possible, then we'll start restricting people's ability to post User Reports.
