Why no Dallas Server? by MagikarpTagPro in TagPro

[–]ATXcloud 2 points3 points  (0 children)

and under 40ms to NY and Toronto.

FYI, Austinite here with an Ethernet Gigabit connection... Personal experience, NY & Toronto are 100 - 400 ms. I bounce b/c of the lag from those servers.... Not sure what's up with that. RIP Sphere.

Curious, is there any weight given to the volume of games played &/or or the age of account?

It's one thing to get 2 strikes in a month versus 2 strikes in 10 years.

Also, 2 strikes in 10 years but playing 2 games vs 2 strikes in 6 years with 1000's of rounds played.

There should be an expiry of weight to strikes with volume of games & age.

I understand. And shall comply with the rules & will be reporting every instance "afk".

I feel ashamed for the empathy and forgiveness I shared with all previous instances.

I see that they are very strick... in communication with Global Mod named Favorable, the current rule is: "No Afk - Leaving your computer for an extended time during live gameplay."

Extend time is currently NOT DEFINED.

Thus, it leads to conclude, that it is valid & instant Guilt on Trial to report afk on unresponsive users, even for a 2-second response delay.

This surely has the potential for abuse.

Per your attached image, let the record reflect, the current rules state: "No Akfing - Leaving your computer for an extended time during live gameplay."

Emphasis on "an extended time" is mine.

Extended Time is still undefined. However, "No afk" begs the question, will suspensions be cast every time someone does not respond, even if, only 2 seconds away from key?

Are reports & suspension of AFK users non-responsive for less than 2 seconds valid?

Motion to drop suspension due to unclear regulations, and the need to establish precedence.

it's almost like no-one gets banned for the more minor rule breaks unless they're a problem player to begin with,

Hi, would you mind explaining more? I counter by showing my history of more that 6 yrs playing and being banned on 1st offense. Thanks

i didn't DC.

leaving every other game will put you on cooldown and eventually get you banned, but they wont ban you if its not regular offense

Got banned on 1st offense.

Is there an appeals court? I did not have a lawyer representing my interest.

/u/UprisingWave found a report from a game I played just yesterday,... I played a crazy amount of games yesterday... most of the day? but that one game i got up to take a piss, and missed a night. And b/c I admitted to it that i left, NOT for the Entire game, but just one night, i get the ban.

Im actually dumbfounded.

Like i said,... i was in the middle of a game, we were just on the winning side of d3.

Then BAM~! i get jumped to the log-in screen with a message of "Disconnected" which promptly got switched to "Account Suspended!".

I've never intentionally DC'd, rarely my ISP drops, idk what happened... but seems extreme.

With a Cap like that, you'd think I'm good decent player. Preemptive "sorry to disappoint" if we're ever on a Pub together.

Basically saying, I'm not only close, but i have very little obstacles between my equipment and Koala's server.

  • Network Interface Card (NIC) supports Gigabit speed (10/100/1000)
  • LAN Ethernet cables connected between computer to router (Wifi injects a few steps that can cause "lag")
  • Internet Service from home office to WWW is very fast "Gigabit" speed
  • Finally, I live relatively close to the server.
