I took into account the fact that some people were disrespected first then retaliated and pardoned that.

Maybe I just have thick skin because I grew up in a tough environment and went to the military and then war. Things don't hurt my feelings so when someone said, "Don't be a dumbass" or "You failed" or something similar and only said it once or twice I just pardoned it. Things that I punished were constant harassment of at least 4+ attacks or especially if the other player asked them to please stop and they continued. I also pardoned if it was back and forth harassment because both people were the problem. Any really offensive words (you know what they are) used excessively I also punished. I never punish feeding because it is too hard to tell if they are just not good or if they intentionally feed. Being bad at a game shouldn't be punished.

So, I'm thinking these statistics will probably hold true and maybe I should just punish anyone who says anything remotely offensive to anyone ever who might have thin skin.

Am I the only one who thinks people just smash that report button on anyone who might criticize their playing or insult them in the slightest way when their team loses? I've tried to help people improve by telling them what to buy, where to go, and how to engage and I usually get, "Don't tell me how to play N00B." People now just can't accept that they may be doing something wrong,,,

What ever happened to sticks and stones?

I'm sure I'll get down-voted because I have an opinion that doesn't mirror all the people who are offended easily but, if you're going to down vote my honesty then have the guts to say why in your reply.

I hate ragers don't get me wrong, but the reason I hate ragers is they are causing the team to do worse. When you tell someone having a bad game that they are terrible they will be less likely to turn it around and win.

The guy who is 12/1 and raging at the guy who is 1/8 they are both toxic because to me toxic behavior is behavior that causes me to lose. lol. (sarcasm but I don't want either on my team)

You said I flip-flop more than a politician...yet you didn't really provid facts or interesting dialog.

So, yeah I do feel that people tend to get sand in their ****** too much when it comes to this game and just smash the report button. I just tried to say it in a more analytical way.

Like I said initially, I think its great you are doing tribunal and voting your opinion. I wish more people who felt similarly would start doing tribunal and pardoning.

I feel though the line between what is punishable and pardonable is leaning too far toward the punishing of ANYTHING that may hurt feelings in the slightest.

It's like giving every kid a ribbon because they played and not distinguishing between winners and losers because being a loser might make them feel bad.

Being the best and beating the competition to feel a sense of pride in your accomplishments is important...Tough love sometimes is the best way to get better. My dad told me more than once to get my head out of my ass and study harder because I was being an idiot..

I'd say that and your hyper-confrontational attitude are the biggest reasons I think this is a troll post and would downvote you.

The problem is by and large the people who share your opinion decide the way to respond is to spam punish in tribunal. Which is LITERALLY the exact OPPOSITE of what they want.
