Is Teabagging Corpses In Frontlines A Punishable Offense?

[Vaeria]

So I'm currently in jail for cussing out a male roe tank in feast (won't attack anyone else until the healer is dead, even if its a skilled one...and no, not Davyd Harvey, Guts, or Khronor -but I say no names regardless.) So I get what I deserve lolol. But it's got meh curious: Is teabagging also a punishable offense? In Frontlines I mean...like after you kill an opponent who seems to be going out of his/'HER'-(again I name no names)way to kill you, then planting your tushie directly atop their face and givin em a good ol /sit > /changepose spam...or some Realm Reborn. Is this a punishable action?

*note- been teabagging ppl for teh last 12 years and never got in trouble once but..figured I'd better play it safe lolol.*

The real question is how does one even teabag as a femroe?

I suppose if done excessively, any little bit of showing off or "styling" on a takedown can be considered griefing.

That said, we are - most of us - civilized adults. Nothing wrong with a victory celebration, and if it bothers you that much, coordinate your team, get a revenge takedown, then bust out your best.

Just don't get carried away

Interesting question lol.

I've seen a decent amount of tea-bagging in Frontlines, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone get banned/suspended for it before. That said, I'm pretty sure SE does discourage the action. The fact that they restricted the use of celebratory items (crackers, fireworks, etc) once in the past would seem to imply that they don't look favorably on it. I don't know of anyone who has been banned for it, but that's not to say you can't be. I don't think that tea-bagging is something that many people report, to be honest, so SE might just be blind to it. If they really wanted to, they could probably ban someone for it if the received a grievance report. They'd be stretching their terms of service, a little, but it's probably possible.

I'd argue that "teabagging" is probably the farthest thing from an adult celebration and is usually a sign that the player is underaged. That's just me though and may be indicative of my age. The adult thing would be to be as respectful as possible to the opposing party. I will say that the current generation of young adults is definitely lacking in maturity overall, and many of their behaviors border on childish.

^ Well dagburnit! I agree! When I was young, I had to walk 5 miles in the snow to- ....j/k Velo, j/k~ Honestly, I never factored age into it...just assumed teabagging was a way of saying "Aaaah~ thats what you get." If I could find a more 'adult' way of inparting this thought to my grounded recipient, I gladly would lolol. 'Tea-bagging For Adults- Vol. 1" . . .w-well..

I vaguely remember people being warned for excessive or disrespectful emote usage back when Frontline was first released. I don't know if it's a hard and fast rule or if it just depends on the GM.

Hm, I only tea bag someone who viciously chases after me. Which is usually saviour divinemights, aka Adder sacrificial lamb

I wasn't specifically referring to teabagging, as I personally prefer to Quick Reload over them and walk away. Teabagging is pretty lowbrow, yes. But again, the best way to deal with it is to score on the person that got you, then celebrate in your own way. Not condoning bad sportsmanship, but I am saying we're adults, and our pride/morale shouldn't crumble over a victory celebration, however classy or crass.

I love teabagging people when they failed to kill me (as healer) and they killed by my team.
