Same thing with amazon, paypal, all the CC's that I mentioned too. The idea of having to pay money for things like this is to keep scammers at bay. If someone had to pay no money and anyone could write comments, how would it be any different than Ebays shitty systems?

I'm not saying it's perfect but a few hundred a year should really matter to a small business especially since they can/will take that money as complete business expense

Very true, I see ghosts playing DOTA more than life :P

How does that not make sense? Visa, MC, discover all force fees for using them, why would if be different for BBB? They charge 97 a year generally (depends on size) but at the same time, if you're not accredited, like in this case, they will still say the rating that the business has. Just so everyone understands, the "F" rating is not from not being accredited but from user reviews. So I have no clue how it's a true argument.

Figured it was shitty, but thanks to boulder, it's worse than I thought

Even formatting once would work

I can do it, pretty sure my work laptop can run tf2 and it will give me something to do

Oh, one other idea, just exchange your modem. Say that it keeps restarting at their office, they never check and they will just give you another. 99 percent of the time, this will change your IP since your MAC ID to the router will be different too, then just get a F2P account.

That would work too, I think I told someone to do this a long time ago (gotfrag days)
Basically, they are never going to send someone out to your state to defend their case and more than likely they will just award you the case since they will not show up. If you plan on doing this make sure you go for the full amount of money that you paid over the years and got nothing to show for it. The cost is usually 40 bucks

Honestly, they likely aren't going to change their policies since they almost never do. You might as well dispute the charge via paypal since you did not get what you paid for, they will refund it. Yes, you will get banned for longer but at least you get your money back. If you feel like nothing is going to happen and you will just continue to get banned, this is better than giving them your money.

maybe, maybe not. That's why I linked him to that company. They have 100's of outs in the US alone, so just get one near your house. I think mine goes from 40ish to 60ish. Yeah, it's a jump but at least he could play in the meantime

Dude, http://www.hidemyass.com/ and just play tf2 off a different IP

So, match is 20 mins, can we just reschedule it for broken client?

Lol too bad. Re add me though Thrasher, steam is acting weird on me

Yes! Play in 30 minutes :P

One thing that really needs coded is !forcescramble and !endscramble for admins (something that stops the ability to scramble any more) I've seen to many times where it's completely unfair but no one is scrambling, and on the other side to many people will scramble 10 times just to get the teams they want.
