I just got an account warning for "grief tactics" and I literally have no idea why

It's also best to avoid things that could be considered politics or isms. I know it means some jokes get scrapped, but almost everywhere has rules like this, technically even discord although you'll likely be fine if it's a small friend server that you own.

I steer clear of this too. The most offensive things I've ever said in Frontlines are "Who's ready to pretend to like PvP for 20 minutes" and "hey, if we pick one side to feed, we can end it faster". I can count on one hand the number of times I've even sworn, and I didn't today.

Another thing: the match finished less than 15 minutes before the GM pulled me in, so it had to have been something in chat, otherwise there was no way they could have caught it that fast. I'm starting to think they just didn't check at all, which is honestly just frightening.

Now I really don't understand why you weren't vote-kicked and how you got away with a warning rather than a suspension.

Because most people wouldn't even do FL if it didn't give exp. Very few people actually like PvP in this game, so the majority of players either agree with the sentiment or at least understand it.

I don't think that's the point, Jeeqbit.

The cut scenes in Prae are an excellent opportunity to chat with the team and be funny.

In Frontline, off-topic text appearing in the chatbox is incredibly disruptive

Most of the time, if I chat, it's while waiting for the countdown at the start because I'm busy doing PvP.

But I don't actually agree that it's disruptive. It's a social channel and I'm sure I've exchanged banter and jokes in it sometimes, especially in less intense frontline maps ie. not onsal.

Upsetting someone with a snarky, rude or misinterpreted comment however could be seen as "disrupting" them.

But the two examples we've been given were neither banter nor jokes; simply pissing on the mode and those actually trying their best.

Suggesting your team feeds another to get the match over quicker violates multiple ToS.

Okay, now I get it. Someone taking a very obvious joke at face value, possibly for spite.

So yeah, I'm not paying money to deal with a system that allows people to do this. If I want to be deliberately misinterpreted in the worst possible way, Reddit accounts are free.

Also, the "feed them so it ends faster" comment was not something I said today, so it wasn't that.

True. I wouldn't have chosen to say those things in particular, especially a wintrading type suggestion. It's hard to know for sure without the full context of what was said/done on this occasion.

If you really can't stop yourself typing, I would agree you're going to end up being banned anyway.

Its not about whether or not I can, its about whether or not I want to continue walking on eggshells and paying for the priviledge of doing so.

You are a perfect example of this. Deliberately misinterpreting what I'm saying in the way that puts me in the most negative light possible. I don't know whether you're just a negative person and doing such a thing is automatic for you or if you're actually putting effort into it, and frankly I don't care. You're the sort of person I prefer to avoid, and if someone like you has the power to wield TOS as a weapon to get my account banned, I will not be wasting more time or money here.

Excellent, a thread with a conclusion upon which everyone agrees.
