Hi there.
I know there's already been a thread about people that abuse self-repping in order to ragequit without getting punished.
But it's getting worse and worse every day, and i'm getting really fed up with this.
Just to show you and example of a lobby that got destroyed by those self-reppers:
- 20:20:55 TF2Center: Lobby launched
- 20:28:39 TF2Center: Reporting RED HEAVY: Stormin; reason: MANUAL
- 20:28:52 TF2Center: Reporting RED SOLDIER: chodo baggies; reason: SELF
- 20:29:03 TF2Center: Substitute is on their way for Lobby#545833 RED SOLDIER: Mario
- 20:29:04 TF2Center: Reporting RED ENGINEER: TacoDip; reason: SELF
- 20:29:35 TF2Center: Substitute is on their way for Lobby#545833 RED ENGINEER: O,...,O
- 20:29:44 TF2Center: Reporting RED MEDIC: trade.tf scrub; reason: SELF
- 20:30:47 TF2Center: Reporting BLUE HEAVY: redwood merc; reason: SELF
- 20:30:52 TF2Center: Reporting BLUE DEMOMAN: Anarcotique; reason: SELF
- 20:31:24 TF2Center: Substitute is on their way for Lobby#545833 BLUE DEMOMAN: speisz mix/merc
- 20:32:26 TF2Center: Reporting RED SNIPER: ...........; reason: LEFT
- 20:33:27 TF2Center: Substitute is on their way for Lobby#545833 RED SNIPER: Jaanii
- 20:33:31 TF2Center: Substitute is on their way for Lobby#545833 BLUE HEAVY: MS | Vetleaks
- 20:35:06 TF2Center: Lobby closed: MATCH_ENDED
We had to rep that heavy because his game kept crashing.
After he got repped, 3 players of my team "ragequitted" as well, resulting in a total failure of the lobby.
Self-repping should only be used by people that need to leave for a good reason, and not for sore losers.
Just do something against this please, and do it soon - it's so frustrating when this happens.
