Does anyone else think that the servers autoban feature isn't working that well? About every time i go to play there is at least one person running around killing teammates. I've seen the length these people go to just to be jerks. One player (called "ME") i've seen will kill 2 teammates, leave the game, come back, and kill 2 more so on and so forth. I've also heard that if you tk, then stop for a couple minutes, the counter resets and you're free to tk a few more, just enough not to get you banned. And I never see admins on any of the servers to take care of these constant problems. I think they need to crack down just alittle bit more on this tk nuisance.

That's true. It is ineffective. Jerks come in, tk a few users then leave before they get banned. Then they rejoin and do the same thing. They repeat the process over and over. It's so annoying. ALTHOUGH, team killing isn't anywhere near as bad as it was before the auto ban went into effect. It definitely stopped most users from team killing.

I have an explanation for the reason why there is a reset time.
It is to allow people who accidently TK someone. I myself have accidently TK people online. A prime example is when I was driving my WartHog outside the base which I belong to, someone on my team spawn just about 2 feet away from the front of my hog when I was going at max speed. So obvisouly, he got TKed by me.

Why the admins don't ban people manuelly, is because they cannot. It is a complete automatic system. Something which hopefully will be corrected in the next patch.

I got banned from EU CTF 10, I don't know why, I wasn't tking so it must have been my enormous 1600 ping I had which suddenly came on and then later went away. Is there anyway to get unbanned?

I've seen that ME guy just in the last couple of days too. He was tking a ton of people on an Ice Fields game. And as for the other post about inability to ban manually, that's not true. I got banned two evenings ago for having too low a ping compared to the other players and subsequently butchering them. (heh!)

I've herd a lot of this "Me" guy. as it so happens tho I two got banned once for TKing and it was and accident before my computer crashed it was acting up so where I couldn't turn a corner with out warping some where. then one day I warped (not going on the warp place either) landed right in frount of one of my team mates and killed him cause I was fireing my assult rifle at the time and he died I know it sounds far fectched but it really happened and I got banned cause of that problem hopefully when my computer is back up that wont happen any more.

One time this dude calling himself {-blam!-}something kept teamkilling me and only me, so i tried teaching him a lesson and i got banned for tryin to get him to leave me alone. and he was shouting stuff like white power and siht.
So do i think the autoban works properly
