Whats worthy of a ban?
I'm just curious how much of a twit someone is allowed to be before they start picking up warning bans.
I just played a ladder game which was initially joined by someone called Artasy1 (or something, check the replay) who was not a ladder player and persisted in trying to cajole me into a game which I politely but firmly declined (repeatedly). Apparently wanting to play an actual ladder game (as advertised) was taken rather badly because he chose to stick around and declare both my faction and my initial recruit to my opponent. Fortunately it didnt really affect the outcome of the game (I got schooled) but it was a pretty childish thing to do and sooner or later that kind of thing will start to matter.
Question is... is that ban worthy and whats the best way to report it?

Re: Whats worthy of a ban?
There are short temporary bans for that kind of thing I think. I believe you are supposed to report this kind of thing to an authority on the server if you know one, or on a IRC channle.

Don't forget you can always :kick or :ban people from your own hosted games.

sillysod--if you read the green text that is there every time one logs onto the server, it tells you how to make an message to any mod on the server at the time, I believe ^__^

Re: Whats worthy of a ban?
You can also check out the "mute" command, it allows to silent a single player for the duration of the game.

Thanks all.
At the time I kicked and banned him but the damage was already done. I guess the way to keep idiots out of games is to let the server mods do their work
