We could really use guidance for a lot of issues regarding Frontline. I'm actually surprised anyone would pick up a ban for macro use. There are many shot-callers who will completely swamp chat despite 90% of the messages being largely irrelevant. On Aether it's been getting worse recently, so it's possible more reports are going in.

FWIW I personally dislike overly-noisy shot-callers, but I'd never report such a player for overuse. They're misguided and rude, but presumably believe they are helping their team win. I just mute them. The only time I report for chat spamming is when it is just that - typically premades (the infamous "just playing with friends") discussing topics that have eff all to do with the battle as allegedly amusing trolling.

Re: guidance, another topic we need clarity on is lethargic play. This is also rising on Aether, with the favorite variant being standing on a node near base waiting for it to pop, while not engaging the enemy, and simply shuffling occasionally to avoid auto-kick. I strongly encourage people to vote kick such players when they're in your alliance, and report them if they're not.

Absolutely sick of carrying the water for non-combatants so they can get their daily XP.
