So... just playing a game. A genius started insulting me, I responded "accordingly", and I receive a msj from Warlight for rules infringement, where I can respond with just "I agree". How about they look at the conversation and see who did what. That would be awesome, wouldn't you think? ...or at least allow for a response

If you didn't report the other guy then that's on you.

Well I did that, but we are equal in the potential to be banned in the future, and that does not make sense. It's a crappy incentive. I could go on to swear and talk crap at someone out of the blue, and when he responds, I could report and it's treated the same :))

How about the link of the game so you can use it to support your statement..

Not that its important or anything at all

In order to keep these things from getting out of hand, they are treated the same.
You get that warning weather you started it or if you just gave it back.

Your best bet is to Black List that player and then you wont see his chat, or messages etc.

Sure. https://www.warlight.net/MultiPlayer?GameID=11831035

Well, it would be a bit of a pain to check every incident for them, but it's just a bad incentive structure. Thx for the advice anyway, guys ;)

When the mod sees the link to the game you provide in the report, they check the entire chat logs and issue warnings or bans to each offending player.

Now, see, endless arguments, insults, childlike behaviour, etc., those things are not forbidden because they are "not fair" or "insulting" - they are forbidden because they ruin the fun for others, the "third party", so to say.

If you start shouting, or keep a pointless discussion going, or crapping all over the chat, it doesn't matter who started - I, as a bystander, will be annoyed by it. It will ruin my fun. Even if you are right, even if you are the innocent victim here: you will still contribute to ruining my fun. And -that- is what we (I) want to prevent.


This is your basic bullying lesson, but here goes again: if someone is mean to you, being mean back is not the best solution. The best solution is to report it and move on with your life - if only to prevent escalation.

Cool, did not know how the system works, thx Bane

I did not use the idea of fairness talking about third parties, I was talking about the relative weight of the reports. Do not strawman me, I was not talking about the idea of the warnings in themselves. Ty ;)

Every report is indeed checked. If you get a warning- it is excately that- a warning. It is WL way of telling you, please change/avoid using such language in the future. (Extreme rule violation may give immediate suspension)

Does it keep track of warnings?

Yes

it took me a minute to realize what you meant.
*you responded accordingly*
logically, responding accordingly would be reporting them.
I assume you meant you insulted him back... which is not accordingly.
you deserve a warning.
what is the question again?
should you not be given a warning for violating the rules?
when the mods receive a warning for a player, they look at the game chat, they look at the game, and will decide if they deserve a warning for the -player reported-.

best advice.. in future, instead of blowing off the handle.. actually *act accordingly*

^ Indeed, accordingly, means appropriately.

You didn't even respond in kind. Regardless, even if you had, Quid pro quo is not inherently the same as an appropriate response.

Not to mention the only profanity in that chat, was from you. He just suggested you played very poorly. You didn't insult the way he played - that would be quid pro quo, you instead went for standard fare ad-hominem.

Ad-eminem.

You should check https://www.warlight.net/wiki/Rules to know what you could be reported for.

next time consider not responding "accordingly". blacklist and report instead.

I know its hard for you, but cut the bs, ps.
