Hey, there is something on my mind I want to discuss for a very long time.
I checked the rules and I couldn't see such a rule preventing racism and kind and thrashtalking. I mean they may be taken into account in provoking section though, still the rule has very limited use. I just don't want to argue with people calling me names such as "ape, monkey, f... turk" etc. I get that some players might be trolling on purpose and such but that doesn't give anyone the right to insult me if I've done nothing to you. When I play matchmaking I play serious, I don't troll nor teamhit intentionally. Sometimes I can make misplays as well, just as many of the players currently playing do. However, when I call someone trolling or intentionally teamhitting, I get to be the one to be insulted by him and his friends if on server.
Normally, I'm not a short-tempered guy, you can ask around if you don't know me. But when someone decides to troll the match by either teamhitting me or playing solo or calling me nicknames just out of fun, I get furious as most of the people would normally do. Still I try to reason (and cooparate if they are trying solo going) with some of them, who I think reasonable. And with who I think unreasonable I respond them back with the same way they use; if they call me nicknames I call them with others if they teamhit me I hit them back etc. Next thing is that we both get warned. If I just decide to go spec and try not involve in any arguments, I get banned because of me being afk too long, while the trolling guy gets no punishments.
Admins who witness such things doesn't do anything at all by the way, I won't point fingers on anybody. For some, I don't think they don't do anything because they don't care but I guess because of the loophole in the rules. One of the admins told me an insult towards my nationality (which I can't change, I'll always be a middle-eastern, Turkish dude even if I change my citizenship, won't I?) can be tolerated as it doesn't count as racism, are you kidding me? People who I don't have any acquaintances with can't just insult me or troll me and get away with it. But they do, and I have to be the one to fight back. When I do, I get to be the one to be punished instead of them.
My suggestion is that just expand the rules generally or on provoking section, doing so admins can punish those guys accordingly. This way I won't have to insult people back. IG_BG had very rational rules about such things and server's admins were very successful about enforcing their power. People would think twice before trying to commit such a thing and even if they find the courage to do so, they would beg to be unbanned afterwards. I think we can have such rules on WBMM as well, what do you think?
