My squad does not "abuse" chat report...though it was my understanding that one time when i was on and being fed vulgarities on ch 200...as well as private vox we did get twinboom reported...this was several months ago...
after being accused of "abusing" chat report by twinboom and storch i called dale or skuzzy and asked how the system works and to make sure the Birds of Prey were not using their numbers in an unfair manner. From my conversations with them I fully understand how the system could be abused...and i spoke with my squaddies so as to avoid any perception of doing so...
I was also told in no uncertain terms that if a squad was felt to be abusing the system after review of the logs...that THE WHOLE SQUAD would lose vox privileges for periods of time....
The bottom line is if you report someone (establishing a log) of poor conduct...the log better damn well back you up...I personally have a very low tolerance of idiots who insist on abusing ch 200 or treating it like a personal chat room to bully and insult people...i wish moderators were on more to shut down these guys BEFORE a report gets sent...i also wish you would have to "accept" private vox and p.m.'s across countries to avoid "secret" harrassment.
That being said...it would be a shame if Twinboom or others like him leave the game over this...I know he is an important person/friend to many in the community and hope he reconsiders...I know he doesn't care for me...but time has a way of sorting those things out...
