Hey all,
This thread is inspired by getting troll commed in 1 server three times (explained better below) in a row, switching servers and then troll commed again in that one.
The first one some guy (dont know if you can name names on here) hopped in on aliens side and nutrient misted a bunch of times then left. Everyone f4'd and restarted game.
Then he (under a different name) trolled marines by dropping a bunch of med packs, then left. F4, reset.
Then, under a different name yet a third time (he talked in each one trying to put the blame on someone else, that's how i know it was the same guy), misted a bunch again. I left the server.
New server same story, anyways i really have not ran into this too much but was wondering if there is some process to report them and how to do that. I saved both of their names, is that enough? Thanks all in advance.
Also, is it national troll day or something?

these things should be standard on all servers imo.
THROW IT INTO THE FIRE! DESTROY IT!
At the least this would prevent them using throwaway accounts and would make the penalty for being banned higher.
If no one has the required playtime then just force the senior guy to do it.
PS: I also got hit like 5 times across 3 or 4 servers.

But that only applies to these forums. If someone out there feels that there needs to be some centralized place to keep track of trolls/hackers, we won't/can't stop you.
I just started getting in the chair ASAP. So then they vote ejected me when there was only a couple of people on the team. Or they would just get the Alien chair and screw up the game that way.
Incredibly annoying.
Well if the team/entire server tells him not to com any more because he is so bad and he keeps getting in com anyway you would be justified in a ban. People deserve a chance to learn but if you have a consensus going that you don't want him doing something that affects everyone else then they need to respect the wishes of the other people on the server.
We had a huge debate over this once before, and while some people disagree, I still think some common sense restrictions would help cut down on a lot of this.
For example, if the marines do NOT have another IP, the commander should not be able to recycle the IP. If people want to quit, concede is available. Same for the main base extractor, why would you ever recycle that? Like I said, we had a huge debate in that thread and I still don't see why some common sense restrictions couldn't be put in place. It won't stop everything, but even if it cuts down on trolls a but it would be beneficial imho.
Not sure if trolling or not..
Thanks for letting the entire internet know.
Under the name of 'SpaceCow' on EpicEU server. Would basically teleport away out of danger whenever he pleased. 2 bites on him and he would vanish. (And no it definitely was not beacon, happened on numerous occasions where others would stay put, no beacon sound/flash to go with it). Was also using a pistol script along with telling everybody how bad ns2 was and throwing out random 12yo kid insults.
I've not played on that server before, just joined a friends game, so he could have been an admin for all I know.
@Ironhorse Whilst its great that your a point of contact for official servers....but is there someone for us aussies and kiwi's (or do you not sleep?)?
Also I think something needs to be done to stop early game recycling on 1 CC...even if its not totally restricting the selling of stuff in the tech point the comm is located...but just not allowing recycling in that tech point until a 2nd cc has been built.
Is very lame though.
Would be an idea to make it so you can only F4 when dead, spectating and before a game starts (waiting on commanders).
Nothing stopping you from typing kill in console then hitting F4 if you need to get to the ready room that badly. Better than having people pull a disappearing act as it stands at the moment.
What in game benefit does f4ing to avoid a kill provide other than preserving your k:d ratio? There is no RFK, stats are meaningless ePeen measurements, and the player is still in the respawn queue and not "in ur base killin ur d00ds"?
Thought that was obvious.
Ironhorse, i was actually playing with you last night before i checked here to see you had responded. We had some good games but the second time i was troll commed, that i talked about in the OP, was on that server. It was before i knew about the sv_status command so all i took down was his name, might not help. gg's last night tho.
Savant, i missed that discussion but all of those ideas sound effective at combating this problem. Ns2 is awesome because of its high learning curve, but it can be equally crushing not getting to use any of that knowledge, especially for several games in a row. Come to think of it getting troll commed in this game is more angering than any other trolling in any other game that i can think of.
