I ALWAYS attempt to resolve anything I see as a breach of server rules. I don't understand why everyone wants to get someone banned? Is it a matter of people being scared of you in-game? Like 'oh shit there's Samatlewis, he reports everything so i best behave'
Everyone understands that rules get broken by accident, everyone has broken server rules whether or not they are willing to admit it or not.
The only time someone SHOULD be reported is if it is blatant rule breaking; obvious exploiting,VDM,RDM etc. NOT for tricky situations where it is borderline infringing server rules. That should be resolved on teamspeak with a mentor present of whom can decide if it was in fact the wrong course of action to be taken, and from that should be a lesson learnt, compensation given and both parties going their separate ways.
'That's going on the forums'
'Discuss it on the forums'
The two above quotations are disgusting to read in sidechat. There should a tleast be an attempt to resolve in sidechat/ in-game messages being sent.
ATLEAST TRY and resolve it and if the player is now aware of what they've done wrong, YOU'VE DONE A GOOD JOB AND SHOULD FEEL HAPPY THEY WILL BE PLAYING HERE LONGER THAN WHAT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN A REPORT.
I honestly could rant forever about this, so that's just 2 cents of my 100 cent rage.
