Ok maybe this will shine some light on things

PugChamp admins have a policy where each repeated offense lands a larger punishment, and it scales up fairly fast because people tire quickly of idiots.

Mason had one past ban, related to killing a pug because he didn't want to play med. So this is his first offclassing ban.

Yight has had fourteen (14) previous admin administered bans before this one, and at least 5 of which had to do with off classing and trolling in pugs. The rest are related to bad captaining practices.

5 bans related to griefing and offclassing in pugs will probably look something like so: (from the rules page down in the penalty section listing cooldown lengths.) You can think of those as a reference.
1. 15 minutes or so
2. an hour or so
3. heftier hour count
4. a day or so
5. a week

sometimes admins are nice and add smaller intermediate steps of time increases.

This is your sixth ban so honestly you're already ahead. Try to keep your offclasses within a reasonable time frame.

The Rules for your reference.

Excessive offclassing in my NA pugs?
You have officially crossed the line buddy
I Will Put an End To This Heresy

Most people probably have figured this out but as long as you don't do anything that will cause multiple people to complain to an admin (or piss off an admin directly) then whatever you're doing is probably fine.

I see people getting banned for 2 things far more than offclassing:

1) adding up to pugs as a combo member and not joining mumble/refusing to speak even when asked too (especially prevalent in super late night pugs)

2) captains picking people that they know they have personal/gameplay issues with, and then subbing them out in frustration.

If you're not doing either of those two things and you're not blatantly trolling/pissing off an admin it's pretty hard to do anything ban worthy

are these pugs supposed to be competitive?

at what point is effective offclassing no longer allowed?

if circa gets an important pick every time he goes spy, when is he supposed to stop?

if you had players who could turn around and not get backstabbed and he still went spy does that change anything?

also if ive got 3 doms on engineer why do i have to swap off lol

reeeeeeeee we cant counter you correctly please stop playing that class

You have received a warning for the reason: please fix your internet before you commit to playing more pugs.

You have received a warning for the reason: don't upfrag yourself.

Good day ladies and gents, here at PugChamp Incorporated ™, we like to foster an environment of pugs where everyone can have as much fun as possible! While unfortunately banning every idiot would leave us with a very small community, we have taken steps to help create a balance between the more laid-back experience you seek outside of scrims/matches and the competitive/enjoyable style of sixes we all know and love!

This involves as little off classing as possible, because while sniping might be fun for you, it's probably not that fun for the other 11 fellow gamers sharing the same digital real estate with you! So we've been so kind as to detail what kind of behavior is expected of every player when they sign up for PugChamp ™, so that everyone can enjoy 30 minutes of not wanting to end their fucking existence.

You can view this simple and informative document right here on the handy-dandy PugChamp ™ Rules Page.

Just give it a rest,b4nny
