Since we're on the subject:

If players are getting their speaking privileges removed for a week for calling out CV positions, I propose that players that make cheating, spying, etc... accusations also get muted for a week.  

So, no one's really answered this post.  Any comments?

Oh, that was a serious proposition.

No.


False reports should be punishable because that's against the rules, calling somebody out for breaking the rules isn't breaking any rules. It's why the .report function exists.

HiTech has answered that question a long time ago in a thread talking about that very subject of people accusing others of cheating on the forums and in game.  The answer was, those people can also be muted or suspended from the game for doing it.

But that's what the ".report" command is for.  Why bring it out on an open channel?

That's what I thought, too.  SO shouldn't this include those that accuse people of changing countries to sink a CV out of paranoia?

Oh, you meant accusations on open channel. I'm not sure then. My knee-jerk opinion is still no, but I'd like to hear your reasoning for it, if you may.

That's up to the powers that be that run this game to decide, not us mere mortals.

It's the same reasoning used with the BBS.  Hitech and Skuzzy always say to not bring their business onto the bulletin boards for an open crowd, but rather to e-mail them.  They also say to use the report system in game and on here, too.  Basically, keep it between yourself and the folks at HTC.  So, why broadcast over an open channel about such accusations?

Which is why I'm putting it out there for discussion.  Lord knows they won't listen to me, so I wanted to know what you guys though.

100% sound argument, imo. I agree.

IMHO people who accuse others of cheating or spying without proof, either on 200, the BBS, or with the .report function, without verifiable proof, should be subject to the same punishment as those that commit the crime would receive - if the accusation is found to be false.

If you're gonna call someone out, you better be ready to face the consequences if you're wrong in your accusation and the person you're pointing the finger at did nothing wrong.

Look, I have my suspisions about certain people in this game, and certain areas they may or may not be able to do or "exploit." I would never come here, 200, or anywhere else and make any such accusation without proof. I may send film in to be reviewed, but that is something that HTC keeps private about, and not for discussion in the public arena or forums. That's just how it is. Anyone who doesn't like that and decides to air such allegations should be subject to just as much penalty as the person committing the offense would receive were they to be caught.
