Find a freestyle team game with an incomplete team
Join team 2 minus one player
Wait for Team 1 to fill up
Final player join and all take turn together

Playing low ranks isn't farming

At least 2 of the games mentioned are against new recruits.

2 games is not enough to classify it as farming. You need a TON of games, say 50~ for it to be classified as farming. In your words, anyone who players more than 1 New recruit is a farmer.

Are you denying that these people are actively seeking out new recruits?

So joining a game against new recruits is seeking them out? [sarcasm]Better report anyone who joins a game against a NR[/sarcasm]



They probably went into Game Finder, searched for Quads + settings they like, and joined games which had 1 player on Team 1 and nobody else.

I will deny it. We don't actively seek out new recruits at all! Call us unsportsmanlike if you want to, but we do NOT break any rules!

This is exactly what we do. Until it is decided by CC that this is against the rules, we will continue to do it.
Thanks.

Flaming me will get you nowhere. Reported. This isn't personal, grow up.

Why has DJ Teflon not joined if you just want to play quads?

How is that flaming?

Nevermind, I see it now

Calling me a douche? Pretty sure that's flaming.

You have problems if you feel the need to report that. You've already made a fool of yourself through one spurious report of a tactic that isn't against the rules!

The rules say that abuse of the game is not allowed. DJ Teflon has not joined the game, despite being online. This is abusing the invite/freestyle system and i think it was enough to file a cheating and abuse report.

In that case I look forward to my ban, along with about 1000 other players who delay accepting invites for the same reason.

You've been told to read the rules before. I see you haven't learnt.

I interpret this as abuse of the game which is against the rules. That's why I reported it. You don't even deny that this is abuse of the system, you just claim that because others do it you should be cleared.

Way to find an old thread and take a post entirely out of context in order to justify your cheating.

I know you've got plausible deniability with the whole "we just find games we like", but you joined those games because there was only a new recruit in them. End of story.

Let's take a step back real quick and take a breath of fresh air.

While Pander's approach to this argument may have not been the best way to handle it, the comments are so minor that they're only worth noting. If we had to report and punish everyone who's said anything more harsh than that, we would ALWAYS be busy over our heads. For the minor things like that, the best advice I can give is to shrug the small stuff and move on.

Moving back to the issue at hand, there have been many precedential cases which have all been deemed legal on the site. Such cases are those of Gen.LeeGettinhed and Emmdizzle to name a few. For clarification as per the Community Guidelines:

Community Guidelines wrote:Major/Severe Infractions are those that are more than just annoying, but are intentionally hurtful to a user, group of users, or the community in general. This includes but is not limited to: Cyber-bullying/Harassment, Bigotry, Personal Information Abuse, Account Sitting Abuse, Intentional Deadbeating, Repeatedly Holding Players Hostage, Serial Teammate Killing, Hijacking Accounts, Systematically "Farming" New Recruits, Gambling, **Point Dumping** and **Illegal Point Collecting,** etc.

The "New Recruits" part is there to designate them specifically, so we have two games where they joined a game against a new recruit listed. Taking into consideration ONLY new recruits, there aren't enough games to warrant that this be treated as such. You may view this as an abuse of the game, and you are entitled to your opinion, but it isn't CC policy as I've stated and won't be enforced anytime soon to my knowledge. A Multi-hunter may be able to elaborate more on this for you if needed, but I don't see much more that can be said.

Thanks rds, a much better response than mine. And I do apologise for the way I handled the report - the OP rubbed me up the wrong way because he accused my good friend Deli, when he was only in 2 of those games and hasn't ever played with us before in these games!! Certainly he can never be accused of any wrongdoings, good as gold he is

Being completely honest, we didn't even twig that 2 of the games were against NRs. We generally target games where the opposition will be disorganised (thereby giving easy wins). While many people may see this tactic as cheap, until we're told otherwise we will continue to do it. It's just as bad as what a lot of other players do to earn easy points (e.g. speed freestyle singles when you can make about 10 attacks in 2 seconds, or inviting low ranks to join your quads freestyle team and then reaping the greater points reward when you get the inevitable win... like Ljex does...)

Apology accepted

go mod defend them, it may not be farming in "the rules" burt its not men playing is it?

I may not be breaking the rules, but your signature size IS against the rules... check viewtopic.php?t=7785#p1759436

Kindly reduce its size

Taken in completely the right way, Sir

Just checked my map rank, and apparently I'm an Equalitarian (0.867). I'd say that, for someone of my rank, that's a pretty good indication that I'm not a farmer, and that I DO mostly play games against players of a similar level to me.

8361924 you should be embarressed but i am sure you are not, pts mean prizes and thats what it is all about. map rank what you will but we all can see the truth.....p.s happy to play you any map any settings singles dubs whatever, you are the type of player that makes this site so shit
