Its a clear case of throwing

game throwing and in no way evidence of abuse of any kind.
Game throwing refers to throwing many games and just losing, not in any way, deciding the winner of any particular game, since that happens essentially in every single game, for an infinite number of reasons, and is fundamental to the game itself.
Everyone on CC is guilty of throwing a game, but only those repeatedly throwing games randomly, or systematically, or to the same player over and over are guilty of breaking the rules or the inherent spirit of the game. In fact, the ability of every single player to throw any individual game, is as much a right as their vote in a democracy. It is sometime their only shred of hope of winning a game, or a game in the future. One could consider suicide as a very, useful and necessary tactic, when viewing a career of games on a site such as this.
The only possible time there are, is when they join a game specifically to suicide into one player. If during the course of the game, a player decides to suicide into another player, or act in any other way as to decide the winner, that is absolutely their right, and part of the psychological aspect of the game itself. One must play the game in a way with the full knowledge that at any time, any subtle move, an attack, a fort, a lack of an attack, a message in chat, etc, may very well inspire a player to act impulsively and extremely in a game, especially a speed game.
Now unless you can find Tdans repeatedly throwing games for someone and the same person systematically in many games, this is a very stupid and petty accusation from someone who should simply understand this all completely and fully.
