If it's not obvious to you what Sled is getting at, you should probably have someone read it to you.

While I might not be the smartest cookie in the jar, I did take a moment to read what Sled had to say twice.  I like to interpret what Sled has posted into the following phrase:

"Please don't .s[gameid] other players for kicks during FSO or you might be invited not to return for quite some time."

They don't have to be explained- the kids involved know exactly what they're doing, and know how it will be received, and no contrived "Im relly sory adn I haves lerned my lesson" posts are going to convince me they're interested in the events, so much as they are in the opportunity to be twits in front of a captive audience. They should have been booted immediately, and some should never have been let back in. It really is that simple. No one should have to be told to follow the rules, or not be an idiot.

My two cents anyway.

I'm not gonna mention names, but the whole saluting ever person they know seemed to have been started by one person and it just grew from there, and it does get very annoying, for alot of us we have quite a few things we are doing in the minutes leading up to the launch order and sometimes rely on the text buffer to check if we missed something, but with all the <S> the text buffer gets eaten up fast.

I know I gave one <S> to Sir Vilkas shortly after I entered the arena, approx T-25 minutes to start. I don't think that was part of the problem but I will send him a PM <S> from now on.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.
