bearodactylalfaHaving an explanation for being banned for cheating is a completely different case from if you are harassing somebody wtf are you talking about lmao you keep just taking what people are saying way out of proportion to try and straw man them into saying something they're not.VeccHuggesHe's right though. In no world does someone get punished without any chance of defense on their part. That's not justice. How's he supposed to know what not to do anymore if he doesn't know what's considered harassment in the first place? Imagine someone getting sent to prison without even knowing what they did wrong.
alfa has been told to stop being a dickhead a countless amount of times
Ok and at no point have I been barred from an event/league/tournament for talking shit? Which is why I was appalled by the decision since I know for a fact I didn't say anything to that degree to anyone to warrant anything like that. So yeah I have the right to know the reason since it (was) kind of a big tournament??
But according to Pete that information does not matter, so next time there is a LAN and he qualifies I could just make an alt account named Pete, harass myself with the alt account I made and report it to the admins to ban him. And he has no right to know because I will demand privacy & protection from him, so what the fuck can he do about it?
That seems fair yes? If me pointing out a flaw in this logic seems far fetched to you, then let's just get rid of any ban explanations in RGL/UGC/ETF2L and let the admins go to town.
Granted, I don't think you actually harassed anybody (unless arguing with scratch in pugchamp chat counts LMAO) but Pete does have a point: if someone actually did want to report someone for harassing them obviously the admins shouldn't tell the person 'hey this person reported you for harassing them, but surely you won't do that even more now that you've been banned from the tournament so we're fine giving you their name'
When in the fuck did I ever say I wanted names? I wanted to know know what I said that got me banned and that was it. Literally, I don't care who supposedly reported me, but I do have the right to know what I got banned for. So no, Pete's point is absolutely fucking stupid, we're not in a court room where I will literally find the "victim" and end them for supposedly getting me banned. We're in an online game, the fuck am I gonna do to someone, spam binds at them? And I could care less about who did it, the essence of what was said that could get a person banned is what's important.
Tell me one single game where anyone got banned for 0 reason and they weren't told why. Every single player to ever get banned for something had a reason disclosed PUBLICLY so there is no doubt on that decision (which is why RGL admins got shit on when they showed their reasoning for some of the bans they did last season). If you think that me saying that reasoning is required behind a ban, then I'm sorry but you have 0 idea what you're even talking about. No ban can go around with vague reasoning, it was made a huge case MULTIPLE times in the past by people that it's fucking stupid to do that.
