The lobby has nothing to do with ASGS. It would be game tweaks.

The point is very simple. They get warning messages when they turn rank 8. People who are too stupid to read the server name deserve the ban times. People who just want to whore on the newbie server go knowing they will get banned. Hence I am really debating about turning the third infraction and above into 30 day bans, double the fourth, double the fifth. I think that might get the point across.

1. Screw up once (it can happen)
2. This is for the really stupid one who repeats it.
3. 30 day ban, it is obvious you don't care at this point.

perhaps the definition of "Noob" needs to be reiterated.
"From my mother's sleep I fell into the State,
And I hunched in its belly till my wet fur froze.
Six miles from earth, loosed from the dream of life,
I woke to black flak and the nightmare fighters.
When I died they washed me out of the turret with a hose."

Can't you tweak it so that Vets can go on the newbie server, but only get banned if they join a game?

That would be nice /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Cadi - That's how it is already.

from what I remember of a conversation somewhere, ASGS checks the end-game stats and if a vet is listed, then in bans them.

And to add reemphasis, I do NOT want vets in the lobby of the newbie server. We will ask you to leave.

I think that it SHOULD be a boot if they are in the newbie server at all. Poll time?

But why do vets do it anyways?

Doesn´t whoring on secondary servers full of newbies is enough, they have to go to the Newbie Server as well? /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

I don't see the need to increase the ban times for frequent offences, he's at 5 days already, next time is what?... enough I'm sure. Let stupidity happen in stages, they'll get it sooner or later.

Also, I really can't think of why having non-newbies in the lobby is bad.

Well those are running concurrently, you could always make them run consequtively. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

Because some idiots go in there to deliberately give newbies bad information. They think it's funny. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roll:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />
