Couldn't agree with you more about the privacy issue. Which is why it has taken me so long to come to this point and implement this new act.
But here is the thing. The member who come here and play fair and enjoy themselves hugely outrank the ones who come here to screw off and ruin others fun and hard work. So why are the ones who screw off continually protected? By protecting them, they stay and the good ones leave.
I set up the 3 strike rule as a way to prevent needless bans and other things. Everyone makes mistakes. There really is no change in the game play. Only thing that has changed is, you can no longer just destroy someone cause you find it fun. This is in no way to protect the netters either. If you don't like the way a nation is doing things, by all means war them.
Like i said, we can put all sorts of fancy names and extra things to define a suicide, but we all know what it is. So why bother.
Each case will be closely looked at. Past history will play a part too. People are allowed to extract revenge without it being a suicide. And both Admins have to agree it's a suicide before anything can happen.
If someone suicides you, you will not be given the name of the person who did it. But if it's there 2nd offense, then there name is posted on the known terrorist list.. But you still won't know who did it. And with Known terrorist states having a pink background on the scores sheets, then that also points them out for all to know.
Basically what we are doing is kinda the same thing we did in the forums. We are making them stand out. Making them have to be known for what they have done. My hopes are that it makes them stop and play nice . if not and they keep at it, then they will be banned.
