Dealing with a Boot
If your Commander boots you it is probably for a good reason. This reason may be as valid as "You were about to give away the position of our main or attack", or as draconian as "You weren't doing exactly as I was ordering", or as harsh as "You were doing something stupid". Most Commanders are happy to explain the reason for your boot after the game has ended, although perhaps not politely.
Do not rejoin the game under a different callsign and start swearing at your ex-Commander. Do not make a big deal of it on the forums. Neither of these actions will help your case nor your reputation. If you truly do feel that the boot was malicious and your ex-Commander should be issued a ban you should PM BlackViper, the Enforcement Zone Lead.
