Blacklist

Post by Delbo » Sun Jul 20, 2008 7:53 pm

Can a person get blacklisted ?

I have had a few jerks in my team that just want to leach exp. and items. I'll ask them to help the team but they usually tell me to go f##k myself and they either leave or get kicked. Some will follow for a short time after being kicked, and keep trying to leach more and calling the team names.
I haven't petitioned for harassment because they leave to soon enough, (annoying isn't harassment).

Is there a way to warn other player about some of these Impatent Personalities ?

No, there's not realy any other way to warn other players, not without opening yourself to a harassment claim yourself...

However, these sorts of players get a name for themselves pretty quickly, if I was you I'd make your own teams up & then you can kick them yourself, & send in the petition anyway, they will then get a name with the ARKs as well...

If you're on someone elses team, ask for them to set /loot alpha (someone correct me if I have the code wrong)...
That means everyone gets a turn to loot sucsesive mobs

You can warn your friends, and in some cases you can warn your organisation (depending on the org) but you can't use public channels or forums to name & shame people. That's not allowed and, as Snakebite said, could be considered harassment.

The correct command is /team loot alpha. This applies to most team situations, but not all. Exceptions include the Temple of Three Winds: Since most of the loot there is NODROP, in a good team the loot should go to whoever needs it rather than whoever's turn it happens to be to loot (though in a bad team you're still going to get ninja-looters).
